More Boy Scouts;
More Fun, Too

Scoutmaster Vigran, who has
been a loyal and interested leader
of Troop No. 3 for a long time, has
at last been forced by business to
give up his work. To him is given
much credit for keeping alive the
interest in Boy Scouts during the
last strenuous years. He is a great
favorite with the boys. Last Tues
day the troop gave farewell party
for him at the home of Robert Sax
ton. About twenty boys attended
the party.
Troop 8 lost to Marion with a
score of 1928, in the Junior Basket
Ball tournament at New Castle and
Marion lost in the finals to Ander-
son in a score of 23-4. Marion had
played several games before the
finals and was tired out, according
to Lewis Wilson, manager of the
loca! team.
But why tell all these discour-
aging things when there is some
thing so much nicer to tell? The
best news we have kept till the
last. The local team had quite an
honor even if they did lose in the
tournament Dale Harkins has
been placed on the second All-State
team. Congratulations!
Two new Scout Troops are
formed. They are: Troop l, which
is made up of fourteen boys of the
Grace M. E. church, with Mr.. A. B.
Craig as Scout Master, and Troop
No. 2 under Scout Master w. d.
Scobel, made up of seventeen boys
of the First Christian church. Mr..
Scobel says that several boys are
all ready for their tenderfoot tests.
Other troops are being formed
in the following churches: First
Presbyterian, Reid Memorial, South
Eighth Street Friends, st. Paul's
Lutheran, First English Lutheran
and United Brethren.
These troops expect to help in
the Fifth Victory Loan Campaign,
and their leaders are already con-
sidering a suitable place to go
camping. The camp will be in
June.

Mary James House Party

The guest had arrived and every
one had come. The kids as Mary
Jane called them, were delighted
with Mary James home and city.
Mary Jane told them that she was
going to take them somewheres
every day.
For" said she, I'm not going to
let you go home until you have
seen all of this city"
Now, / said that Mary Jane lived
in a town about as big as Rich
mond, but l didn't say where the
town was nor it's name. But have
held the secret too long and so l
will tell you. The city is our own
dear Richmond. Haven't you
guessed before?
The first place Mary Jane went
was for a picnic in the Glen Miller
Park. They took their bathing
suits along, so they could go
swimming in the swimming pool.
The children liked the playground
because it was different from the
OuCS III 1NeW 1OIh CIty.
About an hour after lunch they
set off for the swimming pool.
Most of the girls did not know
how to swim, but the boys did.
The girls played around in what
is called the baby pool. 1t is not
very deep and is for children. Mary
Jane had on water-wings and so
she was permitted to go little bit
farther out in the pool. But Mary
Jane went little bit too far. All
of sudden the water wings in
some way got away from her. She
could not swim. She struggled and
went under. AS she went under
a small boy dived in to rescue her.
She had not come up yet and it
was feared that she had drowned.
The boy was now swimming fast
toward the spot where Mary Jane
had gone under. He was half a
yard from it when Mary Jane came
up again. The boy gave three big
glides and caught her just as she
was about to go under for the third
time. Then he swan to shore with
her. Mrs. Crassby who was by
this time very much frightened,
ran up to the boy and held out her
arms for him to give Mary Jane to
her.
Il can't missus," he refused, I'll
have to help regain her conscious
ness"
He began working with her and
soon she slowly opened her eyes.
Keep back" he commanded to
the crowd, "She must have air"
And the people obeyed like serv-
ants. The very first thing Mary
Jane said was,
Where are my wings?"
Then soon she found out where
she was. A taxicab was ordered
to take her home, and Mrs. Cros-
by told the boy to get in, to see
that she was comfortable. But that
was only an excuse. She really
wanted to know who the boy was
who had so readily risked his life
to save her daughter.
After Mary Jane had been care
fully put to bed, Mrs. Crossbby
questioned the boy. She found out
that his name was William, that
his parents both were dead. He

they walk up to it and tip 1t over.
Then the garbage is left for the
flies. The flies will carry the
germs from it into our homes
where we are apt to get dreadful
disease. If the boy is what he
ought to be he will pick can of
garbage up and cover it up in
stead of doing the other thing.
So for these reasons let us all
try hard to make our city clean and
pleasant.

The Robin

When father takes his spade to

Then robin comes along,
He sits upon a little twig,
And sings little song.
Or if the trees are rather few,
He does not stay alone,
But comes up close to where we
are,
And hobs upon stone.

CIVIC PRIDE.

You should have a great deal of
pride in your house and street and
yard. You should not leave old
toys and stones in your yard. Do
not drive nails in the house.
Sweep off your sidewalks and plant
flowers in your yard. Sprinkle the
grass so it will look fresh and
green all the time. Have a gar
bage can in the alley to put your
garbage in SO it will not be all
over the alley. Have vines on

and many more, am sure you will

Rupture Kills
1000 Annually

Seven thousand persons each year
are laid away-the burial certificate
being marked Rupture" Why?
Because the unfortunate ones had
neglected themselves or had been

are you doing? Are you neglecting
yourself by wearing truss, appli-
ance. or whatever name you choose
to call 1t? At best. the truss is only
collapsing wall-and cannot be ex-
pected TO act as more than a mere
mechanical support. The binding
pressure retards blood circulation,
thus robbing the weakened muscles
OF that which they need most-nour-
ishment.

Paris, Sept. 22.-The fire which
yesterday started in the American
military camp at Miramas, has been
brought under control, after having
been confined to the camp and the
industries connected with it. The
gunpowder factory, which was rel
atively near the seat of the flames,
and had been reached by the flames,
was saved. Damage to the Ameri-
can camp was considerable.
The Miramas camp is situated in
the Department of Bouches Du
Rhone, twenty-one miles northwest
of AK. Long before the war gun
powder was manufactured at st.
Chamas, where a government factory
was located.

Danger of Bolshevism
Pointed Out, if Training
Officers Are inexperienced

Washington, Sept. 22.-The dan
ger of making Bolshevists out of
young men by sending them to camp
for military training, where they
would risk being mistreated by in
experienced officers, was raised in
the House Military Affairs Commit
tee as an objection to the system of
universal military training proposed
by the War Department.
You will have to be careful who
the officers are" said Representa-
tive James (Rep., Michigan). "If
boys go IF to camp and are mis-
treated it might make Bolshevists
of them instead of soldiers"
General March, Chief of Staff, ad-
mitted some officers got into The
Army who had no experience in
dealing with men. but he thought
this could be avoided under the plan
suggested.

Villa to Resume His
Fight Against Carranza

Washington, Sept. 22.-Informa.
ton received here yesterday points
to an early resumption of hostilities
in Mexico by Francisco Villa against
President Carranza. Official in
formation bears out Villas boast,
which reached here Saturday, that
he now has under him his largest
force since 1915.
Villas present plan, it is declared,
is to strike the Carranzistas first
south of Chihuahua, with view
not to risk Intervention by the
United States, such as occurred at
Juarez, when he was badly beaten
by troops under Brigadier General
Erwin.
State Department experts say
signs point to n Villa campaign in
the central part of Northern Mex
leo, directed from Durango, which
is the base of the bandit chief.

MORE MEN NEEDED
FOR SCOUT WORK
Boys Held Back For Lack of
Older Leaders to Di-
rect Them

The present week will be a busy
one for the Harrisburg Boy Scouts.
Following a program arranged by
Commissioner w. H. German and
his assistants for the coming fall
and winter. the week of September
"a has been designated as Troop
Visitation" week.
Thirty-nve troops, totaling more
than 500 Scouts. and divided into
eight districts, will visit each other
during tho present week and take
part in the various meetings and
forms of entertainment which have
been arranged for them by the en-
tertaining troops.
The purpose of these visitations is
to promote ncquaintanceship, socia.
bility and mutual exchange of
ideas that will be beneficial and
helpful to tho Scouts and their
leaders in furthering the Boy Scout
work among the boys of Harris
burg.
The report OF what Scouts have
done during the past two years
throughout tho whole country is
convincing evidence that the Scout
movement is IL potent factor for
citizenship training, and the oppor-
tunity for further extension so as
to reach a larger proportion of the
boys who are eligible for member
ship Ia dependent entirely upon the
number of high grade men who are
willing to volunteer their services
for positions of leadership in the
organization.
Efforts are being made to secure
additional men to take charge of
the large number of boys who wish
TO enroll themselves into new
troops, but who cannot be taken
care of until more leaders are Sc
cured.
