Horse Hair Shaving
Brushes Found Source
OF Anthrax Infection

Surgeon-G General Cumming, of the
United States Public Health Service,
at Washington has issued a fresh
warning against the use OF ~horse-hair
shaving brushes, to which not a few
cases of anthrax have been traced.
He says; "The Public Health Ser
vice has made every effort possible
under existing laws and regulations to
prevent the occurrence of anthrax Il
to infected shaving brushes, but in
spite of it's efforts anthrax cases oc-
cur and will continue to occur unless
the public ceases to buy n use
%hOrse-hair brushes for shaving.
at is the consensus of expert opln-
ion that shaving-brush anthrax is con-
tracted only when the shaving brush
is made of horse-hair; and Congress
at the next session will be asked to
prohibit the use of horse hair for that
purpose. 1t is doubtful however, If
any effective measures can be taken
by health officials to curtail the use OF
the horse-hair shaving brushes now in
trade channels, some of which are
presumably infected, except a direct
warning TO the public not to buy or
use such brushes.
DR.. Cumming strongly urges the is
sue of such an appeal by State Health
officials and its widest possible pub
licity, as the only way, pending addi-
tional legislation, to obviate their
potential danger.

OolNGS AMONG THE TROOPS

If you want to see what Being
Prepared" is just watch these boys at
Paia. For the past two weeks it has
been impossible to meet in the tennis
courts on account of repairs that are
being made. The troop a been
meeting in the rail road depot for in
struction and having their games in
the space adjoining, and on the lawn
near the mill. This is real Scouting
with a Vengeance, but it makes no diff
ference where they meet they are al
ways prepared" for service and duty.
The troop is taking hold with a vim
and il will not be surprising to learn
that a great number will be ready for
their Tenderfoot tests inside of the
next two weeks. Scoutmaster Lee is
hard at work getting the troop ready
for registration at National Head
quarters. The committee is composed
of S. Hooking, w. X. Watkins, and
j.. H. Foss. Assistant Scoutmaster
Frank Nunes is helping in instruction
in scout problems and Asst. Scout
master John Rocha is getting the boys
into fine shape in the drill and manu-
al of arms.

Good news. We have secured the
use of the National Guard Armory as
meeting place for troops No. l and
No. 8 of Waikiki and hereafter these
troops will meet at the Armory on
Monday nights. Each troop will have
a separate room in which to meet, and
will gather in the large auditorium
for games after the regular meeting
hour. Thanks to our big hearted
sheriff. Three rousing Scout cheers.
Mr.. Crockett will leave troop No.
1 to take charge of troop No. 8 and
in the very near future each of these
troops will have new assistant scout
masters. This is owing to h organi-
cation known as The Headquarters

better behavior, membership in the
Scout troop, not so much as a prize
for being good, for it is taken for
granted that he wants to be good, but
that he is willing to work; then scout
ing says to that boy "let by-gones be

Scouting Meets Test

Less than ten years ago an oppor-
tunity was offered to better the boy
hood of this country through a move
ment known as the Boy Scouts of
America, organized and Incorporated
in 1910 and chartered by Congress
1916. During the decade it has been
subjected to every test, and has not
been found wanting as a fundamental
movement for the character building
of the boy. That it has not progress
ed more rapidly is due to the fact that
the right sort of boy leadership has
been very difficult to obtain-the in
dividual leadership of the man of ex-
perience who not only likes boys but
who likes the open, has a vision" for
the future of the boy, an appreciation
of his present need, and who is will
ing to make a sacrificial contribution
of his time at stated intervals, for the
carrying u of the very definite pro-
gram outlined in the movement of the
Boy Scouts of America.
The only reason why more men
have not been found to Garry on" in
this work is because of their ignor-
ance of its possibilities. AS soon as
a community becomes thoroughly
aware of the possibilities offered by
scouting, hordes of boys over twelve
years of age-eight percent of any
normal population-stand ready to en-
roll in the Scout Movement. The only
thing which delays their enrolment
today is the fact that really compe-
tent leadership is not readily avail
able.
1t is a fine thing for a nan to like
boys, but the Scout Movement he
must go further than that. He must
love the boy with a love based on a
willingness to render maximum serv-
ice. There is nothing sentimental
about it. 1t is simply a business pro-
position in which the man and the
boy become equal partners for the
good of the community. Boys thrive
under competent leadership, but they
are apt to fall by the wayside under
the half-hearted ~so-called leadership
which a lot of willing people offer;
there is nothing ornamental about it.
1t is more sentiment. 1t is not suffi-
GENTLY deep-rooted to stand the de-
mands of sacrificial personal contact,
and for that reosn, after a boy has
had a year or even less of that sort
of thing, he is very apt to slip from
under and lose interest.
Every boy instinctively belongs to
a gang, that is, he has his asso-

problem of Making Boyhood of To
day into Manhood of Tomorrow is
Solved by Scouting, National Official
Says in Statement.)
(By II. A. Groesbeck.)
We are passing through troubled
waters these days. There is much be-
ing said and written about the prob.
lens which confront us, as Americans.
Some of us are thinking in terms
OF how to adjust the manhood of to-
day to methods of right thinking
constructive plans from which produc-
tive results should accure. But com
%paratively few of us are thinking in
terms of the boyhood of today which
in ten short years will be the manhood
of tomorrow.
There vas a time when the boy
was considered a sort of national
liability; of course he must be brought
up TO be a manly fellow, and offered
the advantages of a least common
school education, if possible, but now
we are being taught to see him as a
real asset rather than liability.
Ideals, if they are to function pro
ductively, must be subjected to a plan
and schedule. No business is success.
fully conducted haphazard. While the
average parent is perhaps ready to
consider any plan which will help him
to help his boy-or his neighbours boy
until recently the development of
the boy has been along lines OF adult
thought rather than through reaching
up to the level of boyhood.
Many people feel that to understand
a boy n has to get down to his
level; but the level of the boy is
higher than that of the man-spiritual-
ly-and the time has come when man
hood must deal with the boy from the
boys level, be that what it may.

Asst. Scoutmaster Kan who was
formerly in charge of troop No. 3 finds
he will have too many duties to per
form during the grinding season and
so has reluctantly severed his con
nection with troop No. 8 for the pres
ent. He had done valiant service with
this troop, as all can testify who saw
the splendid work of the scouts dur
