Little Chance for Suit.

Almost coincident with the announce
ment Of the arbitrary increase In tele-
phone charges, the service OF the Cum
berland company has seemingly gone
absolutely TO pieces. Patrons will agree
that the service during the past few
weeks has been worse than at any time
within two years.
For a number of months the service
showed considerable improvement. Local
officials offer excuses based on weather
conditions, The same officials are In
charge as during complete government
control. Presumably the same number Of
operators are employed.
The fact that the service has become
so poor, may induce a number or sub
scribers to take advantage OF the offer
of the city administration, which has
ordered the city attorney, HI. Lvings-
who wish to do so, to test the right OF
the company to collect back rental to
June !.
Mr., Livingston Is a good lawyer and
probably knows that the courts have
uniformly held in similar cases, that
ter-general, is supreme during such
time as he controlled the wire COM
panies. Such suits, however. will make
fine political capital later in the year
for the present city administration,
and also make an expense and pos
SlDly payment OF All lHJulClloH UoHu "
be paid by the city. But II the ad-
ministration orders the suit, Mr.. Liv-
ingston must hold 1t.
There Is some hope, however, that
the people may secure redress. The
state railroad and public utilities COM
mission has announced that advanced
telephone rates made during govern
ment control, will not be granted for
Memphis without a hearing. and such
a hearing may be ordered during
August, after the end Of such control,
II. J.. Livingston, city attorney. asks
any citizen who cares TO join in the
proposed test suits, without expense to
themselves, TO send in writing to the
city clerk these facts: Their names,
street address, number of their phone
and the former monthly charge.
The city proposes to bear all expense
of the suits. but Mr.. Livingston holds
that they must be brought by citizens
who are directly concerned in the in
crease charged against them. not d.
rectly by the city.

TRAITOR, has issued a statement to the public as fol.
lows:
"Buy now-in August or the Autumn will be
too late. A big coal shortage is coming.
Thousands of miners are going back to Europe.
Coal production has fallen off considerably and
a shortage of many million tons looks probable.
My advice to consumers is to buy NOW while
they can get a selection and delivery. I feel
bound to say that, as T see the situation, we are
likely to experience a coal famine in the Fall"
These are all facts. Consider them.
Quick action being so apparent, we cannot urge
too strongly that you buy your coal NOW so as
to be sure of having it next winter

Troop II Takes Hike
Through Clark's Valley

Last Thursday Troop II went on
another overnight hike up in Cark's
Valley for two nights at Mr.. Bailey's
farm, before we left the truck came
and got our baggage to take up for
us; we ate lunch at Byers' grove
about midway between Dauphin and
our destination, while we were there
some people from Harrisburg came
to picnic and some of the children
went in the water. One of them was
trying to carry a small baby across
and they both fell in, so Edward
Hawes went in and rescued them.
Most of the time we played base
ball and went in swimming, but we
went on one hike through the noun
talns, up to the lumber camp, which
which is very interesting place.
And we hunted for an old Indian
spring that a farmer told us about,
the Indians had put large stones
around many years ago; we stripped
several cherry trees on the farm. The
second evening we were there they
brought freezer of ice cream which
tasted mighty good. We also had
lots of milk during the day when
ever we wanted it. There were 22
along and we had great hike.

@NEvvz AND NOTES or. THE BOY z10uTz@
CAMP HACOBOSCAM

plan to take about thirty-five Scouts
along.
Visitors days are Thursdays and
Sundays.
A popular diversion is fishing. 1t
all started when Frank Foose, of
Troop 16, caught a small yellow
perch which he had to return to the
water. Now worms are at a prem
ium, and fishing tackle is in constant
use.
1t isn't often that "Bill" German,
of Troop IS, son of Scout Commits
sioner German, gets himself into a
hole, but he certainly did on Tues
day when the camp authorities were
erecting the flag pole. When the
hole was down about two feet, Bill
volunteered to play the part of
badger and scoop out the bottom
with his hands. In the middle of
this process, the sides of the hole
caved in and Bill found himself feet
up and head down.
The State Health Department has
given their report on the camp
water suppy and pronounced it abso-
lutely pure.
The boys of the village of Mount
Holly visit camp practically every
day, and everything, including the
elaborate eats, is a source of wonder
to them. They are rather disgusted,
however, that they are unable to
produce big impression of their
toughneSS on the Scouts.

Troop 70 Holds Second
Anniversary Reception

On June 6, Troop 20 held it's sec
ond anniversary. Scout Commits
sioner German and Deputy Commis-
sioner Foose, and the Rev. Dr. Pyles
were present and gave short ad-
dresses, after which refreshments
were served.
The following Thursday the troop
gathered wood for the Victory Fire.
We expected to see a large pile, but
our expectations failed to material
ize. Honest, Scouts, 1 don't believe
there was enough there to make a
bonfire like we used to make on the
common when we were kids. We
took two large automobile truck
loads there which swelled the pile
considerably, but a dozen more
truck loads wouldn't be any too
much for the fire.
On June Is we took Humml es-
town car to Rutherford and from
there hiked to Stoverdale where we
spent the night. The next day we
visited the caves and brownstone
auarries. Most of the Scouts took
advantage of the opportunity and
passed some of their outdoor tests
Several amusing incidents occurred
as when farmer was measuring out
some milk for a Scout, another
Scout, with his eyes wistfully gaZ-
ing on the creamy white fluid, said
Gee! l wish our milkman kept a
cow"

Plan Peace Celebration
by Boy Scout Troops

It now is absolutely certain that
we will hold our big bonfire ana
neace celebration within very
few days, and the signing of peace
terms must not catch us unpre-
pared for the biggest demonstration
of scouting every put across IN Har-
risburg. We must "be prepared.
There is quite a large quantity or
combustible material on hand at the
storage depot, but if the celebra-
ton is to be the big success we all
want it to be, the boys must collect
all the material possible.
The medals and bars for the Vic
tory Loan are here, and will be dis
tributed on the night of the celebra-
ton, as will also the German he'll
NETS won by troops and individuals
during our period of work in the
last loan. 1t will be a great occa-
sion indeed, and one long to be re-
membered.
All Scouts will mobilize at $50
for the parade on State street be-
tween Second and Third-in uni
form if possible. The bands will
meet us there and the parade will
form. The only signal for this cell
ebration will be the blowing of
whistles and the ringing of bells, so
when the noise begins, you will know
that your place is with the rest of
the Scouts on State street.

Splendid Way To
Reduce Your Weight

There is perhaps no one thing that
so plainly shows the passing of our
youth as the horrible tendency to nut
on too much weight after we have
reached the age of 25 or 80 years.
However young our faces may appear.
- sagging, tiabby figure and forty
nch waist gives us away"
The cause of this over stoutness is
that our stomachs convert the food
we eat into fat because there is not
ensGGh oxygen in the blood to pro-
S6uce proper combustion to destroy
the excess fatty tissue. Fat people

home method that is wonderfully ef-
ficient in reducing weight. quickly
and easily without a starving diet.

One of the best things at camp
are the eats, and the cooks are
among the most popular people in
the camp. The way food disappears
at camp meals is certainly surpris-
ing. One small Scout said he
loaded up" before he left home,
thinking that perhaps he wouldn't
get enough to eat. He confessed
TO Camp Director Rees that he was
sorry because he couldn't begin to
do justice to the first meal in camp.

Wolf Patrol of Troop
Is Wins in Contest

The Wolf Patrol, of Troop 3 won
the interpatrol contest which was a
competition among the five patrols
This contest had been going on for
fifteen weeks. The Scoutmaster pre-
sented Scout stars as prizes to the
winners. The Cobra Patrol, which
came in second, was given enough
slaves for half the patrol.
Last April, when w. H. German
was made commissioner the first
troop he visited was Troop 13. That
night he offered prize to the patrol
who by June Is, could win the
highest number of points in taking
tests. This contest has been won by
the Cobra Patrol, which had only
one more point than the Wolf Patrol.
A Scout ak was the prize.
Troop 13 has new assistant
scoutmaster, Boyd Cocklin, who has
seen overseas service in the Signal
Corps. He will instruct our Scouts
in troop signaling and map making,
and a team will be instructed in
signaling for exhibition competition
work.

night to welcome Assistant Scout

saw a lot of service in the Argonne
Forest. His account of his expert

that it received. After the meeting
the refreshment committee, headed
by Assistant Scoutmaster Wieland,
served lemonade and pretZels, and
say it was some thirsty crowd, but
they weren't able to drink all the
lemonade. That's the first time
anything was ever left at an affair
at our troop. The pretzels, two cans
of them, lasted about fifteen min
utes. DIR. Hazen, our deputy COM
missioner, came in for a few min
