SCOUTS AID SERVICE MEN.

The boy scouts troops of Pasadena,
Cal, have been canvassing the busi-
ness and commercial firms of the
city to compile a roll of honor of the
concerns which have given jobs to re-
turned soldiers, sailors and marines.
The canvass is not simply local en-
terprise, but the scouts are making
the compilation at the request of
the government. Tallman H. Trask,
scout commissioner for the Pasadena
scout troops, has received a request
from Washington for the information
and a request for the scouts to as
semble it. Mr.. Trask says the Pasa-
dena scouts will lose no time in OBJ
tanning the information.
1t is believed that the canvass will
show that every soldier and sailor who
went from Pasadena got his position
back on his return If he wanted 1t,
and that in addition many other re-
turned service men have been placed
there.

INTRODUCING A NEW SCOUT

Exit the hoy slouch" and enter the
new version of the boy scout To the
old we say good-by, and to the new
welcome with all the warmth of broth
erly feeling.
Years ago a boy who didn't brush
his teeth was common-today he is
the exception. Why? Because we
have found out the cause of decay, and
brushing is the remedy.
What is true of teeth is true of
clothes. Two or three slovenly
dressed scouts in troop tend to de-
feat the pride which a majority take
of looking the pavt." A dirty uni
form is a disease carrier and a mem
ace to any troop.
Troop pride tends to show up the
fellow who never washes his uniform.
Headquarters is going to help each
troop in dealing with the fellow who
looks as if he didn't care.
Under the new uniform regulations
scout must appear on the street or
at troop meetings in full dress, and
that uniform must reflect clean scout
inside.

bulent outbreaks growing out of the
police strike. There were numerous in
juries of . minor nature to members
cf mobs, police officers and state
guardsmen. Cavalrymen charged the
crowds and machine gun was used,

sent to disperse it. The mob surged
in and out of the square. Shots were
fired and an unidentified man was
killed. A woman was wounded in the
;rm, q middle-aged volunteer police
man was SO badly beaten up that he
was removed to a hospital and three
cayalrymen were hit over the head by
bottles and other missiles and also
were given hospital treatment. After
he infantry reinforcements arrived the
square was finally cleared.
Boston.-Boston is under military
rule After twenty-four hours of law
iessness such as the city has never be-
fore experienced, sense of security
was afforded an outraged public by the
appearance in. the streets of 5000 sol
diers under orders to restore order and
protect life and property at any cost.
A troop of state guard cavalry, dashing
at full speed in company front with
drawn sabers cleared Scollay and Ad-

Of intermittent rioting, and when the
cavalry approached small group of

and called upon the commander of the
Tenth regiment of the state guard to
assist him in preserving order. At the
same time he asked Governor Coolidge
for additional troops from outside the
city. The governor Immediately called
out the Fourth brigade, and he ordered
out the Fourteenth and Twentieth in

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts of America)
CUB WILL MAKE GOOD SCOUT

There are times when a scoutmas-
ter must tell someone that one of his
kids is a mighty fine little scout or
''bust" trying to keep still. P. T.
Runion of Troop No. 2, Winfield, Kan,
sends this letter about one of his
scouts:
"For three years he has been work.
ing with the scouts, as best he could,
not being old enough to be registered.
He is an honest little fellow, small
for his age and quiet in disposition,
but will play his jokes. Does not
start any disputes, but will fight for
his rights, and takes well with other
boys.
"Two years ago, at the age of ten
years, while on hike by himself,
playing scout, he came in contact
with large rattlesnake, which bit
him on his wrist. He finished killing
it, then put tourniQuet on his own
arm, cut off the snakes rattles. and
walked two miles home, picking at
the wound to keep it bleeding so as
to wash out as much poison as pos
sible So tight did he twist the tourn
lQuel tlldl ne SHul iut tiituiatioH VI
blood off from his arm, so that none
of the poison reached his body. Good
for a ten-year-old, wasn't it?
"Last summer, age eleven, he res
cued a full-grown man from drown
ing by throwing out long grapevine
which the man held to. AS he puts
it, he threw a grape harbor out to
him"

New York Cheers Pershina.

New York-Over a five-mile flower
strewn pathway, General Pershing led
his famous First division down Fifth
avenue to the wild plaudlts of 2,0O0.000
proud countrymen. 1t was the last
great review of the world war for
New York and it was fitting climax
to long series of military spectacles.
The commander of Americas armies
shared honors with the battle-scarred
veterans who won undying fame on
the fields of France For all of them
it was one of life's most memorable
days AS he rode down the avenue
the stern lines of the leaders face re-
laxed in the now famous Pershing
smile.
