SCOUTS KILL OFF GOLF PEST.

After every other means to exter-
inmate the beetles that had menaced
the golf course of the Louisville Coun-
try club had failed, the boy scouts of
the city we're frantically appealed to.
Everybody has fallen down on u.s."
the khaki-clad boys were told, "and
we're calling on you as last resort"
The boys looked the situation over.
They found that the beetles at the
links had become SO numerous during
the past four years that they swarmed
around like bees and threatened the
very life of the course.
But that didn't faze the scouts bit.
They armed themselves with bunch
of small minnow nets and some used
by entomologists, and then "went after
'em."
Result? Complete humiliation of the
foe! Thousands of the pests were
caught, killed, piled up into noun
tain of "carcasses," and burned.
Incidentally, the golf authorities
were tickled and showed their appre-
citation by giving the boys spread Of
"chow" that would make New York
hotel look like night-owl lunch-cart.

CATHOLICS EXTEND SCOUTING

Upon the initiative of the National
Catholic War council, the formation
of the boy scout organizations in ev-
cry Catholic parish throughout the
United States will soon be under way.
The council, which has been casting
about for solution of the problem of
taking care of young boys and proyid-
ing for them wholesome and profitable
diversion, has decided that the boy
scouts meet the requirements of the
situation better than any other organi-
zation that could be devised, and an
effort will be made to stimulate the
enrolment Of Catholic boys in it.
Contrary to the impression that has
prevailed in some quarters, the boy
scouts are not in any sense religious
or denominational organization. 1t
happens that IN most cases Protestants
have been quick to take advantage of
it, and Catholics have for some reason
held aloof. Assurance is given by the
officials of the council that there is no
reason for this.
Through Michael J. Slattery, chair
man of the committee on mems activi-
ties, the council has taken UP the ques-
ton with the national governing body
of the boy scouts, and has been as
sured that Catholic boys will be placed
on the same footing as any other boys,
and that their interests will be safe
guarded by Catholic representation on
the various boards. No discrimination
of any kind is made. A campaign for
the extension of the organization
among Catholic parishes will be under
taken under Mr.. Slattery's direction.
1t is evident, from what has already
been done, that the idea has impressed
many pastors very favorably. More
than 400 inquiries have been received
by the council asking for information
as to the methods of organization.

SCOUTS TO BAN MECHANICS.

One branch of the government at
Washington has instituted a campaign
to discourage the use of nicknames for
representatives of our allies.
Boys are the ones who most of all
perpetuate the use of undignified ap-
pellations and the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea are invited to put their active ban
on them.

derision as applied to the foreign-born
