SCOUTS BOOSTED IN BOSTON.

A letter to the Boston Transcript, signed among others by Charles W. FL lot and A. Lawrence Lowell, says in part:
 We are entering an era of readjust- ments in wages and prices. In many cases lack of employment and clashes of opinion between employers and em- ployees will be inevitable. Unless we adopt every reasonable means to pro- mote right understanding and good feeling between our various groups unless we keep to the front the impor. tance of hearty co-operation-much hard feeling is sure to be generated. and we need only read the newspapers to be warned of the possible results.
 We cannot expect a complete safe guard against this danger. but the pub lie is coming to recognize that the boy scout movement gives considerable protection, because it promotes mu- tual understanding and good feeling.

equally as much in demand, some ex- cellent results are obtained by com btn1ng a georgette jacket with short French sleeves tipped with foulard and belt of the silk slipped over a skirt of the foulard silk. To further enhance the beauty of the simple Jacket or overblouse a deep hem of the fOulard may be placed along the bottom edge.
 One of the happiest results in sum- mer things Is the effect of smart sim p1icity for one wants to get away from the heavier and elaborate affairs of other seasons-the sort of dress just described is enchanting because of its extreme simplicity. It has been we'll developed in a gray foulard with round cherry colored figure scattered over the surface, the silk being used for the skirt and a gray georgette of the exact shade being employed for the soft loose blouse. A preference for very narrow belts is noted and fin cherry color is entwined about the waist with one of gray
 The Spanish Vogue.
 Just WnO IS reSpOQSlDI0 1Or Iu0 Spanish vogue no one seems to know, but that there is such vogue no one can deny. Even in the matter of skirts one finds again and again the wide and bouffant models with rather tight bodices which are often ob- served in Spanish paintings. The eff feet is achieved often by the addition of wide and very full ruffles placed along the bottom of the skirt which standing out give the desired effect of extra fullness.
 Black taffetas and henna-co1ored chiffon have been happily placed to- gether in a dress of the Spanish type. The taffeta is embroidered in henna silk and used to form rather tight pettic0at, over which fail wide side draperies from under & long pointed "basque." Down the front of the petticoat are placed henna silk tassels, which give a most unusual effect, while the crossed pieces of the waist, which end in the deep point in front, recall portraits of long ago.
 Henna chiffon is used to form the upper part of the waist, the sleeves of which are longer than the French sleeves, but still are merely elbow length. It has been rather interesting to note to just what extent the bebe sleeves would be adopted for street wear, and as yet one finds little dispo- sftion to leave of the lower part of

shape. The sleeves are likewise fn- l ished with the frills and a wide flow ing sash of the net finishes the dress prettily.
 Of course, in the demand for q dress of service for summer wear, l such as a shopping expedition into the city from ones country place may demand, the darker tones are given preference and the tricolette, georgette and voile rank in favor with the fou- lards. We see less of the yelled fou- lards than last season displayed though they were such pleasing frocks with the big sprawling surfaces softly hidden under voile, or georgette that possibly there may be a revival later on.
 ChaIIis Popular.
 Strange to say, cha1lis is having a rage such as no other fabric, not even tricolette can boast. The soft wool en material is esteemed for the uttl- ity dress as developed in the silks. The darker tones are likewise chosen in this, and collars, cuffs and sashes of crisp white organdie added for morning wear.
 CudLLIS mCIS pOpu1oA @C yO0AS 0SOt but for some reason they have not been much used except for little girls dresses and dainty boudoir gowns. Now, however, ones possession Of chal1is frock stamps one as being well aware of fashions latest whiEn- Hats and parasols made of the same materi- al as the dress are much seen. The challis hats, like the dresses, have organdie trimmings put on either in little fittings along the edge or that are tied in wide bow.in front. The para- solS also repeat the organdie ruff hes.
 There is a certain demureness and quaintness about this old-time material which suggests quiet country towns and restful rural life, for though peO- pie in large cities have for so long for gotten challis, those who live in less hurried and crowded places seem al- ways to keep a best cha1lis for 'toc- casions." The shirt waist type of dress lends itself we'll to the soft wool en fabric and embellished with the organdie makes the whole pleasing.
 There is TO material which will an- swer better for a hurried mornings motor trip into the city or informal wear in the country, for chaIlis will not crush and rumple, and if one se- lects the colors carefully, one frock will go through a summer satisfac- tOrily. .

BOY SCOUT "VETs," TOO.

The veterans used to be gray haired faces deeply marked, somewhat stoop shouldered, one empty sleeve or one pinned-up, empty trousers leg. Their deeds are already in our school histories.
 But there Is a new generation of veterans today. Young fellows, nearly every one of them. Not stoop shoul- dered; very chesty indeed and with good cause. Not yet long enough re- turned from the battles to have held an annual reunion. But veterans nevertheless. Saviors. of their coun- try. Saviors of the world.
 And there is a still newer generation of veterans coming upon the great world stage. These have not been to war. They may never go to war. And because of them-in part at least the world itself may never know war again.
 These newer veterans are the young fellows who have been five years in the boy scout movement. They are first-class scouts. They have taken upon themselves the scout obligations for life. They have registered with local scout authorities for service to the community in any emergency.
 Scouting principles imbedded in a boys nature will continue to operate in his life whether or not he wears the uniform and the badge. But in order that the movement shall affect the quality of citizenship of the whole nation most effectively, scouting prin- ciples should continue to operate through every scout in the active, posi- tive form which the veteran scout en- bodies in his allegiance.

TRACING LOST INDIAN TRIBE
Scientists Interested in Explorations of Abodes of the Lona-Gone
 ArawaE< Nation.

When in 1494, on his second voy. age, Columbus discovered the island of Jamaica. it was populated by the Arawak Indians, who, although at first hostile to him, became friendly on his giving them clothing and other arti- cles hitherto unknown to them.
 When later the Spaniards settled the island they forced the Indians not only to do agricultural work in their own island but to labor in the gold mines of Hayti. So hard were the Spanish taskmasters that by 1858 the whole Arawak nation was extermi- hated.
 During the past eight years efforts have been made, under the auspices of scientific society, to recover all possible traces of the lost race. To that end explorations have been made in the old kitchen middens, or refuse heaps of the Arawaks, in which there have been found, besides shells and pottery and fish, turtle and cOny bones, many celts, or rude chisels, grinding stones, stone pendants and axes 1,5OO objects in all, which have been given to the American Museum of Nat ural History in New York city.
 To the anthropologist the most in- terestfng objects are the cEIindrical stone pendants, which were fashioned with sand and stone and endless rub ping. Pendants of exactly the same sort are worn today as insignia of office by chiefs or headmen of tribes L. -onLLon.> Co,,Ah kvDoowIao

 She was coming toward me. She took me by the arm. ~Paul 1" she be- gan with Quivering lips "Paul!"
 She led me into Cn~ recesses of the pines. There, in a little open place. clustered together upon the ground, were the bodies of our dogs. All were dead.
 Jacqueline sank down upon the ground and sobbed as though her heart would break. I stood there watching, my brain paralyzed by the shock of the discovery.
 Then I went back to the sleigh, on the rear of which the frozen fish was piled. I noticed that 1t had a faint, slightly aromatic odor. I flung the hard masses aside and scooped up powdery substance with my hands.
 Mycology had been a hobby Of mine, and it was easy to recognize what that substance was.
 It was the amanita, the deadliest and most widely distributed of the fungi, and the direst of all vegetable pOisons to man and beast alike. The alkalOid which it contains takes effect only some hours after it's ingestion,

 I calmed myself and led her away, and presently we were standing before the fire again.
 "Jacqueline," I said, ''it is easier to go on than to turn back now"
 She watched me like a lip reader. ''Yes, Paul; let us go on," she an- swered.
 So we went on. But our journey was to be very different now. There was no possibility of taking much bag gage with us. We tooksa few things out of our suitcases and disposed them about us as best we could.

 Suddenly we emerged from among the trees upon an almost barren p1a- teau, and there again we halted for a breathing spell.
 resolved to take my bearings accu- rately, and. telling Jacqueline to wait for me few minutes at the base of hill and setting down my pack, began the ascent alone. The climb was longer than I had anticipated. My eyes were aching from the glare of the snow. I had left my colored glasses behind me in the tent and gone on, saying nothing, though I had realized my loss when I was only a mile or so away.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
