In America there are 10000 900
boys between the ages Of IL and FL
who should be given the benefit Of
BOY Scout discipline. training and
pratice.
The membership Of the Boy Scouts
of America TO date Is $4,000. This
IL so small a proportion of 10000,
900 that the week OF June 8 to IL,
inclusive, by proclamation Of Pres
ident Wilson, has been set apart for
the purpose Of enlarging and
Strengthening the Boy Scout organ
ization. That week is to be known
the country over as Boy Scout Week.
During Boy Scout Week It will be
the effort of an organization OF pa
triotic men and women, known as
the Citizens National Committee
and headed by Hon. William @. Nc
Adoo, to enroll one million Associ-
ate members of the National Coun-
ell Boy Scouts Of America.
The membership fee is $500 and
as much more as the associate mem
Der is disposed to pay.
The money received in member
ship fees is to be expended for the
work of extending the membership
of the Boy. Scouts of America, which
is to say that many more of the10,
900, 900 boys of these great United
States than now are to have the ben

tice that enabled the Boy Scouts of
America to render such valuable and
conspicuous service in the activities
of the world war in which our great
country furnished the forces that
terminated the conflict, destroying
the rule of the murderous Kaiser
and forever subduing the Hun in his
quest for empire.

Watch Ammeter Closely.
The ammeter should be watched
closely, for it indicates whether the
battery is charging when the engine
Is running. The very best type of
ammeter Is that which shows the rate
at which the charging or discharging
takes place. y
when the car Is running at normal
speed-say 20 miles an hour-with all
lights on. the ammeter should show
charge. II it does not, the battery
will soon be discharged. Always see
that the ammeter doesn't register dis
charge when the lights and ignition
are turned of. This would be caused
by short, circuit between the ammeter
and the switch.
occasionally an ammeter needle be- |
comes bent, giving an incorrect read
