ing party invaded the royal air force
headquarters at Baldoyle, near Dublin,

SCOUTS IN VICTORY PARADE.

In the great Victory parade in Lon
don of the forces that successfully
carried on the war, the boy scouts
were given place Of honor. AS a
unit in the splendid naval force, the
sea scouts appeared under their own
flag, on their own merits.
They had been accorded this priv
llege in recognition of the wark done
by them for the country in carrying
out coast-watching duties during the
war. They were the more remarkable
In being the only boys organization
taking part In the parade.
In the preparation of the great pa
rade the boy scouts were again utilized
behind the scenes by the authorities.
With the troops Of ten different ma
tionalties assembled for the occasion,
there was great need of guides, Or
derlles, first-aiders and the other gen.
orally useful helpers. The authorities,
as Is now becoming their nature,
turned to the boy scouts for help-and
did not turn in vain. Some LOO
scouts were employed on this duty DUR
ing the week, and they acquitted them
selves well.

WELL CALLED AGE OF GLASS
Compilation Of a Few Facts Shows
How Dependent This Generation
Is on That Material.

Without glass elderly persons would
be unable TO read or sew, short-sight-
ed persons would go about almost
blind. Without glass we should know
nothing more about the stars than
was known by the ancents, nothing
about the structure of matter, and we
should not even suspect the existence
of microbes.
without glass we should have no
photographs, no moving pictures and
no Illustrations in our newspapers.
Without glass we could have no cleo
trlc light bulbs, no X-rays, no colored
windows in our churches, no thermom-
eters or barometers.
Without glass chemists would use
porcelain containers, we should drink
out of metal or china mugs. we should
let the light into our houses through
sheets of mica.
"Glass," says the Scientific Amer-
can. has been known from antiquity,
but It's common use is comparatively
recent. This has been spoken of as
the age of steel; 1t might equally be
pronounced the age of glass"

SCOUT OFFSETS SNAKE BITE

Bitten by cOpperhead snake while
picking raspberres near his home,
near Northumberland, Pa, Myron
Hopewell, seven years old, was saved
from death by the prompt action Of
his brother, David Hopewell, fifteen
years old.
The child was standing far In among
the bushes, when he felt twinge Of
pain, and looking down saw the snake
with his fangs fast in his foot.
His brother attracted by his screams
ran to his aid and killed the snake,
which was two feet long. He than cut
the skin on the boys foot where the
fangs entered, causing 1t to bleed
freely.
Doctors say this saved the boys life,
and he did not get sick as result of
the reptiles attack. David Hopewell
is a boy scout and learned his first
aid methods while a member of the
Northumberland troop.

Measures Wear of Roads.

one one-thousandth of an inch. In
order to form base to which meas
urements can be referred from year
to year, brass plugs are set In the
pavement where readings are desired.
Readings are taken by resting the
bearing plates on the roads surface
and allowing the plunger to rest on
the base plate of the plug. The In
strument is plumbed with the aid Of
a level and the spanner bar Is held
parallel to the center line of the road.
Other readings may be taken with the
bar at right angles to the center line
of the road.
An important advantage Of this In
strument Is that accurate data can be
acquired rapidly and without inter-
rupting traffic. The base plate In the
pavement is protected between read
ings by covering 1t with cotton waste
and topping with putty. The brass
plugs are readily set In any pavement
while it Is being laid, and at any fu-
ture time by drilling holes with star
drills and setting the plug in cement
grout.

SCOUT EXHIBIT FOR X. OF C.

The national movement looking to
the organization of troops of the Boy
Scouts of America in Catholic churches
was given impetus in Louisville, Ky,
by an official demonstration under the
auspices of Louisville council, Boy
Scouts of America, in the Knights Of
Columbus building.
The demonstration was arranged by
the local organization of the knights
of Columbus as a result of public let
ter, in which Cardinal Gibbons, the
great Catholic leader in America,
praised the good work Of the boy scout
movement and urged the formation Of
scout troops in Catholic churches
whenever feasible.
Louisville has for some time had a
scout troop in a Catholic church, this
being the st. Francis Of Rome church
In the East end, and enjoyed the dis
tinction of being one of very few
cities in America Boosting scout units
of this kind.

SCOUT DOG AWAITS MASTER

Do you think dog has heart that
hangs heavy when sadness comes,
even as human hearts are laden with
the coming Of adversely? And do you
suppose that CANNES weep when suns
of happll ess set and fail to rise?
Then give thought to Jerry, the
once frisRy little Airedale with the
wettest nose In all the world and the
most beloved dog In Kansas. Jerry
doesn't run around any more, nor does
he find delight in rubbing up against
the little tots whom he still must love.
He just sits with his little heart
bursting, waiting for the return Of the
best pal he ever had, Paul Jeffords,
whose scout uniform is laid away
never again TO be worn.
For Paul is dead. If Jerry could
read, he'd find the story In the reports
of the war department-particularly
In the short one which says: Cor
poral Paul Jeffords, One Hundred and
Thlrty-seventh infantry, killed in &C.
tion In the Argonne Forest"
But Jerry doesn't know that. He's
waiting, even though the papers have
told that Paul, true scout that he was,
went West in the glory Of scout
like heroism; that he cast himself
through fire to certain death, dying
for duty; that General Pershing him
self hallowed his memory by reward
ing him posthumously with the dis
tinguished service cross.
But dogs can't read; so Jerry just
sits on his hind paws and waits, sniff
ing hopefully day in and day out.
Perhaps, up there, Paul, too, is wait
ing.
True friends are ever true.
