Gasp at Yank GalIantry.

The following passage is quoted from
an article about the soldiers of the
American army of occupation in a Co
blenz paper:
"These gentlemen from abroad
stand up in the crowded electric cars
and offer their seats to any woman,
even though they be peasant girls
This is custom that surprises US,
habituated as we are to the rough
ways ut war time, like a memory from
the ancient past. They make way for
ladies on the sidewalk and step aside
TO let them enter the shops first. In
deed, the ladies in Coblenz have been
much astonished at the excessive gal

NATIONAL OFFICES SCOUTS.

At the national headquarters of the
Boy Scouts of America in the Fifth
Avenue building, New York city, quite
few boy scouts are employed in
responsible capacities. These have
been organized as Troop 400 of Man
haitian, and as an example to" all the
other employed boys in the city they
are carrying out the scout program
faithfully.
Before Office hours they line up and
go through the regular setting-up exer-
cises. This starts them off for the
days work and gives them a pep and
enthusiasm quite different from the
usual distinctive "Office boy crawl"
These are the boys who meet Gus
toners in the scout store and who
greet visitors in the general office, and
they are also employed in the supply
department and as orderlies In the
other departments.
