RosT. J. THoRNE ON SCOUTING.

Robert J. Thorne, president of the
Chicago scout council, is one of the
country's most distinguished business
men. He is president of a large firm
and director of several other corpora
tions and banks.
Recently, In talk made by Mr..
Thorne to a group of men interested
in boy scout organization, he said:
"The thing that appeals to me most
in the boy scout movement Is the boy
scout habit to do good turn daily
AS l become more and more actively
interested in this movement and pfac-
tice Its precepts with the boys, real
lie l have been missing great deal
In life; that have been living only
for myself.
"The realization that am doing
something for someone else makes me
the happiest man In Chicago. Any
man who has Intimate contact with
the hoy scouts finds that II warns and
enlarges his heart. My only regret is
that was not a boy forty years later
so that could have been boy scout"

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council of the
SCOUTING AND THE OUTDOORS
Conducted by National Council OF tn
Boy Scouts of America.)

At the farewell luncheon given by
the Far Western Travellers association
on the day of the departure Of the
five Greater New York Boy Scouts of
America who are the guests on trip
to the national parks, James Il. West,
chief scout executive Of the Boy Scouts
Of America, In an address said in part:
"This trip which these five scouts
are to make is of great Importance
because II has back of II a great idea.
Scouting has as part of its program
the out-of-doors activities. Indeed,
scouting Is an outside program. 1t in
stills into the youth Of our country
an appreciation of Gods natural beau
ties. Of things which are given to us
through nature. and we hope we are
giving great contribution to our land.
1t is because of this that we felt en-
thusisastlc about participating In this
proposition.
I'm addition to giving propaganda
about the beauties of the outdoors. we
are also helping in the movement to
make known our great national parks
and l predict that as these boys go
from city to city where we have scout
organizations and where they make
presentations, giving their point of
view of the significance of 1t all, there
Is to be put into motion mighty force
for the extension Of this outdoor move
ment. not only affecting the youth, but
adults, and 1t is our plan In connection
with their trip to give them an oppor-
tunity in each of the large cities
through which they pass to tell just
this thing to our scouts and to their
parents and friends.
II predict, gentlemen; that you will
find you have made an investment the
Importance Of which you had not con-
templated and that you will feel fully
satisfied because. you have done some
thing very much worth while. May
express the hope that, because of the
values that you will get from sending
these boys, representing thousands of
boys, TO mingle with other scouts In
all parts of the country and carry out
our program, you will receive the con-
viction that, after all, working with
the youth of America is very much
worth while"

SCOUTS AND JUVENILE COURTS.

Franklin Chase Hoyt, presiding JUS
tlce of the chlldrens' court, New York
city, and one Of the country's leading
authorities on juvenile delinquency
says:
"Coincident with the rapid develop
ment OF the Juvenile court there has
sprung up a national movement which
has. believe, done more to pave the
way for the Juvenile court than any
other agency. This movement is that
of the Boy Scouts of America. This
Is most practical method, 1t seems
to me, for needing the scriptural ad-
monition that we overcome evil with
good; that we crowd out the evil by
filling in with good. The juvenile
court has TO deal with actual delin-
quencies and often must employ dis
cipline. The Boy Scout movement,
however, successfully lays hold Of the
very traits in boys that lead them
into mischief, and proves that these
same traits can function In better
direction.
=. Both the Juvenile courts and the
Boy Scout leaders have grappled with
the same problem. The Boy Scout
movement is not primarily concerned,
however, with reformatory work.. In
fact, it is not directly concerned with
any such work at all. The Boy Scout
movement is suitable to every boy
from every kind of home. That means,
of course, that 1t is most valuable
agency for those who are concerned
with problems Of reformatory work
with boys" @

speed the cars rush forward. The
speedometer of my car marks 40 miles
an hour, but we are not gaining on the
gazelle. who appear easily to keep
their distance of four or five hundred
yards ahead of us. AT another sig
nal we increase the pace to so miles
an hour. The plain Is level, but there
are stones and little undulations and
many small watercourses, merely little
declivities in the surface. Ht none the
less exciting to pass over, and the
exhilnration is intense.
Four Killed, One Taken Alive.
1t is wonderful driving on the part
of the chauffeurs, and the cars sway
from side TO side, and rise and fall
like boats In a rough sea. We are
closing upon the herd now, and 1t
looks as though 1t will be my car that
will be the first to come up with them.
but suddenly they turn aside to the
right, and pass down the line Of ad-
vancing cars.
The Basha Of Marrakesh's 1.-THE fig
ure is clearly visible as he stands In
his swaying car. The gazelle pass
him, and with right and left he brings
down two-beautiful shooting. Kaid
Hammou's car Is the next. and he, too,
shoots his two gazelle. Once more
the herd swerves. and passing be-
tween the cars breaks back to the
rear and is allowed to escape without
further molestation-all but one, n
young doe, who paralyZed with fear,
stands motionless, and is easily cap
tured alive and unhurt. to be carefully
conveyed back to Marrakesh to be-
come pet in the basha's house.
II may be argued that this class of
hunting is not sport, that the gazeile
have no chance of escape, but it is
not So The risk Is great, an accident
may occur at any moment, and the
stony surface of the ground gives the
gazelle good chance. OF the many
herds we saw the four gazelle shot
and the one taken alive were our
whole bag, though we covered 100
miles of distance on the plain alone.
without counting our ride to and from
Marrakesh. The handling of the cars
requires the greatest skill, and the
shooting is by no means easy. To hit
a running gazelle from motor car
travelling at the rate of 80 miles an
hour over rough ground needs no lit
tie skill.

The cultivated lands are quickly left

the snow peaks of the Atlas bounding
its southern horizon.

four cars spread out--a few hundred
yards apart-and proceed at II slower
pace, about fifteen miles an hour The
ground Is stonc-strewn and rough, and
careful steering is necessary. There are
boulders of every shape and size loose

channels worn by water, insignificant
