COURTESY

True courtesy-that which
originates in kindliness-is
free from familiarity or fav-
Oritism.
Such is the courtesy to be
found at CHILDS-just the
natural expression of a sim
cere desire to be of service.
Whether rich or compara~
lively poor, whether famous
or obscure, you will receive
the same courteous treatment
at. CHILDS.
Whether you order griddle
cakes and coffee, or a dinner
from soup to dessert, the
same attentive service will
be given.
That is what gives the
CHlLDS restaurants that
comfortable, honey atrnos~
phere which adds SO much
to the enjoyment of ones
meal.
Speaking of griddle cakes
do you know that they blend
With almost every dish just
naturally as bread7

Troop A Has An Enuiable
 Record in Selling Bonds
By RoBER T SAUNDERS.


 We, the affirmative, the members and upholders of Troop A, do stoutly assert and maintain that Troop A Is the best in Birmingham, in Alabama. in the whole United States, in fact. If there is any doubter or disbelever of this doctrine, let him tell his troubles to a Troop A scout (no doctors bills paid by troop).
 Troop A was organized in June of 1917. M. w. Canister. our present scout master, was reallly the organizer of our troop. He worked up an enthusiasm among IA of us boys. and aroused our interest in scout work. It was through MT. Canister that We received such a fine start and have kept up our good work all along.
 After we were well organized we started out for new members. Our troop roll quickly increased from II green "tenderfoot' scouts to 25 tender foot" and second-class scouts. Troop A adopted slogan of No Slackers Here" Consequently when several of the boys began to show signs of 1azi- ness, and lack of willingness to help in the scout campaigns, they were fired from our troop. and now we have 16 members, all true blue scouts, and patriots
 Although we missed the first Liberty Loan, we "cleaned up'' in the second; A simply walked away" with the presidents flag, offered to the troop in each state selling the largest amount of Liberty Bonds. We were compar atively new troop, but we knew how to sell Liberty Bonds.
 In the third Liberty Loan, we also excelled. We ran Troop a meek and neck" race for first honors in selling bonds Eventually we won out, but it was a hard-won victory. Troop A was

Scouts to Celebrate Close
 OF Camp Andrews This Week

During the last week the Boy Scouts have been enjoying themselves to the fullest extent Every night was oo- s"rved, according to it's special mean ing. Friday night the executive com mittee held it's meeting at the camp and the Scouts staged stunt night" for the benefit of the Scout officials Boxing, wrestling and many more forms of contests and games were pulled off. The Scouts are right there when it comes to staging queer and strange challenges There are three life guards at Camp Andrews Theodore Crane, Ewing name. These three guards teach those Scouts who are unable to swim to be- come accustomed to the water and later to swim. Boy Scouts seem to be made for the water judging by the manner in which they take to sw i'm ming.
 A popular form of amusement, while the sun is high and it is hitting S5 or 90 in the shade is to seek out some cool place in the valley by the creek and to toss horse shoes. Chase Cor nelius, who was elected camp jester, is champion at this form of amuse- ment ana can ring the stakes with the PreclSlon or an old village nanScr- on.
 A STILL HUNT
 Last Thursday night MT. Wester col lected the Scouts around him at Camp Andrews and announced that all ex- cept the smallest boys were to accom- pany him on a still hunt. He cx- nlained the danger of such an expedi-s ton fully, and gave everyone who SO desii ed permission to remain at camp. f0 q tI.c n were the exceedingly small Scouts, who had to be made to do so.
 Scouts, you know that Scout is brave. When you see anything strange or scairy,' don't run. Stick by your leader. If we find 8 still, I will go get the revenue officers, while yoa boys, with Sailor Eddens, keep watch" said Mir. Wester while giving orders to his charges.

 "Mr Wester is deadt shouted one T saw him up the path wonder. His face was white and it had a red streak in it.' At these, words the Scouts started in a body for Acton, ITO get the revenue officers" as one expla ined later

 FIELD DAY
 Suitable exercises will be held dur ing the week to mark the close of successful camp season. On Thursday track and field day will be held. The different divisions of camp will compete in games, athletic events and many more trials of skill and strength. There will probably be a ball game. swimming match or some other spirited contest in which most of the Scouts can participate. There is iE- tense rivalry between the different tents, divisions and teams which com pose the organization of Camp An drews, and some hot games and con- tests will undoubtedly be pulled off
 The Scout officials wish. to extend an invitation to the parents and friends of the Birmingham Scouts to visit and inspect Camp Andrews at any time during this week. On field day, Thursday, everyone will be wei. come to attend the exercises and see

 I awarded the Presidents flag for the second time. We made some fine plans for the fourth Liberty Loan. We spent all sum mer constructing the Troop A airplana but were disappointed in our plans. The scouts were not allowed to enter this Liberty Loan campaign. We used our airplane in the Victory parade. If A had entered that campaign, it would have been a ''clean up." It was becona- ing habit with Troop A. We also have an enviable record in other war work. such as the sale of W. S. S. and canteen work.
 About month after the troop was organized we had a get together hike. We hiked out for several miles and made temporary camp. We had great fun, not excepting the fact that we were rained out of our camp the first night and had to dry everything out next morning.
 There is no other troop in Birming- ham which has hiked as much as we have We have taken trips to every point of interest in this section. We have hiked to Camp Andrews, we have hiked to Queenstown lake We have been everywhere worth going to in this part of the state. A new record was established recently by Troop A. We hiked four and a half miles In Sa minutes. N
 Five of the scouts of Troop A are now in Camp Andrews. Cecil Hackney, Chase Cornelius, George Wofford. Ben Talliaferro and Waiter Pritt by name. We have our cabin nearly complete now and expect to finish it soon.

Ordinarily a Scout is supposed to have a digestion like billy goat, and after seeing thousands of Scouts eat I am convinced that that supposition is not far from the truth,'' says the Cave Scout In the May issue of Boys Life. And yet have been in camps where nine-tenths Of the boys were suffering from stomach ache and kindred ailments Funny. isn't It. how some fellows who have never even boiled water have a notion that they can go into the woods and become ex- pert camp chefs first shot out of the box, We seen samples of their work, and I've tried to eat it, and I'll tell the world that their cookery would turn inside out the toughest old tin-can-chewing billy goat that ever walked, Half raw, grease soaked spuds, coffee black as mud, flap jacks doughy in the middle and burned to cinders outside-the whole meal literally seasoned with charcoal, bugs and sand.
