THE EVIDENT SCOUT DUTY.

'It is your duty as a true and loyal
scout to be ever at the service of your
country, always doing everything you
possibly can. without being asked, to
strengthen the hand of the govern
ment," says Lieut.. Delvin W. Maynard
the flying parsOn."
"You should not allow shallOw-brain-
ed, weak-minded. thoughtless, unpatrI-
otto people to say ugly things about
our government and our country with
out expressing your contempt.
Let us not be so unthOughtful our
selves as to say mean things about
our country, but let us realize that our
country is not some incOnceivable idea,
some visionary object, or some incOm-
prehensible state of existence, but is
a simple and plain reality, easy to con-
ceive, made up of such homes as You
and never to bring disgrace
upon these homes so dear to all of us.
No scout can be loyal to his family
without being loyal to his country, and
in turn, loyalty to country is loyalty
to home"

SMALL REWARD FOR BIG FIND
Man Who Discovered Gold In Aus
tralia Remunerated by the Mag
nificent Gift of Five Dollars.

The first discovery of gold in Aus
tralia was made as early as 1899 by
a convict servant of a Scotch settler
named McAllster. This man found a
nugget of what he rightly conceived
to be gold while tending his masters
sheep near where the town of Ballarat
now stands, and took it to McAlister,
who submitted it to the governor, Sir
George Gipps.
The latter had it assayed, and found
that it really was gold but fearing a
mutiny of the convicts if the truth
were allowed to become known, he
kept his knowledge to himself. Mean
while. he ordered the finder Of the
specimen to be given a sovereign (S5)
in recognition of his enterprise"
This is probably the smallest re-
ward ever given to a white man for
what was the biggest find recorded in
history, for when, u years later, Ed
ward Hargreaves rediscOvered these
same goldfelds, many millions sterling
were taken from them in the course of
a few months.

MEN TEST THE SCOUTS PACE.

Seventy business and professional
men of Springfield, H., who are in
training to be scoutmasters, took a
test of their ability to maintain the
marching pace of the Boy Scouts.
The men were required to take fifty
running PAGES and then fifty walking
PAGES for mile, and by the time they
reached the end some of them were
glad.
Arriving at their destination, the
men found a big log fire built and
settled themselves down to listen to
an address giving instruction in knife
and axe work, cooking and fire
building.

WHAT MAKES THE GOOD TURN.

A scout leader gave a very good de-
scription of a good turn when he said
1t was ITO do something for someone
that causes you to go out of your way
or diverts you from your regular course
Of action"
Remember, to do your duty or to
aid without inconvenience to yourself
IS not a real good turn. Putting the
good turn above ones self is the real
thing that counts In scouting.

ART AND SCIENCE IN ToYs
Piaythlnos for the Riddles Necessary
to the Proper Conduct Of
Their Society.

NTHILE the making OF toys Is an
W art that Is probably practically
as old as the world itself. Il has been
only within recent years that science
has bothered itself about them. Less
than half century. ago they we're re-
garded merely rs piaythIngs-amus
Ing diversions for children that were
b. no means necessary to their we'll
being. Today, however, science insists
that there ls 3 well-dehned philosophy
underlying the use Of toys; that they
are the tools with which the little ones
ply their trade; the paraphernaIia nee
essary to the proper conduct Of their
society; that dolls. for example. are
pore 70 them than the associates that
help TO entertain them In that they
aid them I'm the attainment OF their
mental growth by stimulating the
natural emotions which must be ex.
perienced In later life.
Whether this theory Of the scientists
10 correct or not, the fact remains that
children have always had the play
things requisite for their limitations of
the domestic life and business affairs
Of older people that they have always
required their elders 20 provide them
with such inventions. and that, when
they could not obtain these toys by
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made TO suit their purposes. Even
the somnOlent middle Ages did not put
~ end to their pastimes. The toys in
which they found diversion may have
been more simple, but. as they met
the demands or nature. they played
their allotted uara In sha araarnn ~

SINGING AND COMEDY
 FEATURE AT LOEW'S

Probably the Robinson and McCabe trio will be conceded by audiences at the Bijou for the first half of the week to be the best act on the bill Of the en- tire act breezy rendition of "Oh, By lingo was the most highly appreciated, bringing on a strenuous encore Added to good singing, the trio put over some witty and original jokes, really some or the most pointed sallys that have been handed out here in some time.
 Hanley and Fritz, who gave the first act on the programme. are a clever couple and work exceedingly well to- gother Of course, Hanley happens to De about twice Fritz's height, but it oniy adds to the effectiveness of some of the witticisms, which are funny on account of the difference. Fritz is what one would call cute and classy.
 The Morton brothers are harpists and do some good playing and stunts with harps. They also tear some innocent looking paper into some unexpecteu shapes. A few jokes in their act are very witty Ranking with the Morton brothers in the appreciation of the audi ence were the three Taro brothers. The Taros are Japanese and gave Juggling and acrobatic act. They managed to put some of the quiet humor of their na- tionality into their act by situation, without words.
 Hall and O'Brien have wondertu voices, really extraordinary, and Ii they would give only a singing act they ~ouio make fine entertainers. But they are neither actors of any mention or are they able to put pep into their JoKes'

BILLY BEARD FEATURE
 AT LYRIC THEATRE

Although the Lyric theatre has well balanced bill for the first half of the week, Billy Beard. formerly mainstay of Al c. Fields Minstrels, is the feature performer on the programme.
 .The Party from the South" is the caution under which this dark faced fun maker travels. He has a happy line or monologue that keeps his hearers in an uproar and makes them cry for more at the end. He is like the brook in that his monologues and tales go on forever. He mixes a few songs in with his flow Of funny sayings.
 Lawrence Schwaub offers Bert WILCOX and his company in Your Wife or Mine" This is a vaudeville playlet that crowds Billy Beard for first honors as mirth provoking comedy. The play let is presented at Jack Dale's summer home on Long Island just before mid night. It is humorous throughout.
 The Lampinis in Monster Sensational Boot-Box Mystery" is as mystifying and sensational as the name indicates. The Lampinis are two French comiques who are making their act one of the pest liked vaudeville performances on the Keith circuit.
 Larson and Allyn in "A Refined Song Review" offer a number of classical and popular selections. They have tuneful voices that blend in perfect harmony. Athletic Simplicity is the title Of an act by Herbert and Dare. These two San&sons perform a number or feats showing their marvellous power ana skill. Finished perfection is noted Tn their actions.

story being shown at the Trianon this week. is literally a narrative of misun- derstandings. Every one IS in error Why, when it comes to Shakespeares s Comedy of Errors comparatively speaking. there isn't an error in it. Of course Bill Shakespeare did all he could
 to complicate things, but he didn't have the opportunity of the modern novelist. For fast trains. automobiles, detectives and modern ideas all combine to give
 the author of today more freedom and a real background for messing
 things up.
 The principal idea of the play is that by several hooks and crooks, and a general misunderstanding, three per fectly good girls are found claiming the same man as their better half. The
 pitiful object of all this confusion is ! really married to one of them, and high ly satisfied with his choice. But for reasons of their own the other two are

BLADDER OF LIES" WITH
 ELHEL CLAYTON-STRAND

Ethel Clayton, one of the most popu- lar feminine stars of the screen. IS talk ing the leading part in 'The Ladder or Lies" the feature at the Strand for the, first part of the week. It is clean, wholesome picture With the idea or the importance of truth in the smallest things as a basic theme.
 Miss Clayton appears as girl wno lies to shield friend from the knowl- edge of the kind of life his wife was leading. Which life. by the way, is the only unwholesome thing in the play Even a lie for the sake of another starts the girl on a ladder of lies' ana she finds others necessary to cover IL.
 The story is not only based on the principle of truth, but on self-sacrlIice also. and the real dramatic situation IS brought about by the willingness Of woman to sacrifice her love and honor
 for another. It is not entirely human
 from the everyday standpoint. Few oi
 us would submit to such an in1ustlce' and the woman in the story meets with very narrow escape from wrecKed life. .. It. is hard to squeeze ones idea or ethics into the appreciation of the sac rifcial part of the theme, but as an m teresting play we'll acted by splendid cast. "The Ladder of Lies'' is certain to meet with success among movie goers An additional attraction Is Hank Man in .The Nickel Snatcher, a hliar- ious comedy 90 per cent bathing girls.

"A MODERN SALOME"
 SHOWING AT ALCAZAR

one of the many interesting cpl sodes in "A Modern Salome, in which Hope Hampton makes her screen debut. and which is now showing at the Alca- gar theatre, represents the court or King Herod of ancient times.
 This story, narrated in the scriptures. inspired the dramatic poem of 'Salome by Oscar Wilde and the opera by Rich ard Strauss. Recollections of the way this famous dance has been performed by various artists is woven into the plot of the picture through hailucinas ton suffered by the heroine, in which she ina zines herself to be the famous Sa- lome of old. It is in this incident that she performs the Dance of Enticement
 Theodore Koslo the famous Russian ballet-dancer whose work has been seen on the stage and on the screen. was i'll charge of the ballet which supported the star in this dance and in fact staged the entire episode. When rehearsing the ballet, Koslo commenced to instruct Miss Hampton in the steps she should do for the number. but was so struck by her natural grace that he asked her to go through the dance as she con- ceived it without any suggestion from him.
 Miss Hampton ran through series of steps and movements. and kolso imme- diately decided that she needed no fur ther instruction from him. but as
