COURT RUN BY BOY SCOUTS.

In Bartlesville, Okla, they have q
boy scout cabinet, composed of three
scouts from each troop in the city, no
one of whom is eligible to serve on
the cabinet II he holds any Office IN
his own troop. There are seven troops
In Bartlesville, so there are twenty
one boys In the cabinet.
The function Of the cabinet Is two
fold, administrative and disciplinary.
1t plans scouting activities for the
whole district, with the cooperation
Of the scout executive, and 1t meets
once month to try cases Of miscon-
duct among scouts. If any such case
comes up. The scout summoned be-
fore the cabinet must bring with him
statement of all the details Of the
case signed by his scoutmaster. The
scout Is temporarily dismissed while
the cabinet goes over the statement
and decides what form Of punishment
they wish to recommend to the scout
master.
The scoutmaster need not necessari-
ly follow the recommendation, but he
usually does. Thus the boy Is judged
and sentenced not by q superior, but
by group Of his peers, most Of whom
are members Of troops other than his
own and consequently not likely to be
biased In judgment. The scout execu-
tive reports that "cases" are happily
few.

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council OF the
Boy Scouts Of America.)
A. SCOUT IS oBEDlENT

In his account Of the recent trip OF
the "Jamboree" delegation of Boy
Scouts Of America to Europe. James
e. West, chief scout executive. tells,
the following incident:
'"The BOZ scout delegates and most
Of their leaders were at the Interna-
tional Olympic games In Antwerp
The arena was surrounded by thou
sands upon thousands of spectators.
Down there on the battle-ground of the
worlds champion athletes America
and England were face to face for the
tug-of-war. You know how a tug-of-
war grips your attention. From the
word go you feel through your whole
body every effort by your own team to
hold Its ground and to pull Its oppon-
ent. Think Of witnessing world
championship tug-of-war between
Americans and Englishmen before
vast audience In which many nations
were represented. Would you get up
and leave your seat for a million dol
lars7 Yet, at the very moment that
the Americans dug In their heels, glued
themselves to the rope. filed their
lungs and tensed their muscles to pull
England from her ground. the jam
boree' scouts rose, faced about, and
marched from the scene.
''This is how 1t happened: While
the delegation was at the arena. the
officials were invited to meet King Al
bert Of Belgium, who was preparing to
come to the games. We left with Col.
Gignilliat, who had command Of our
delegation, for that purpose and were
advised that the King would be great
ly pleased to have the American boy
scouts act as guard of honor on his
way to the arena. We were requested
to have the boys in readiness at once.
Accordingly Col. Gignilliat returned to
the arena and Just as the American
team of athletes dug In their heels to
pull the English team from its posi-
ton that well-known command that
had held our delegation through
hundred difficult situations. AT
tentionl" brought them sharply out
Of their trance of excitement and call
ed into play once more that splendid
spirit Of loyalty and service which
won for the Boy Scouts Of America
the high compliments wherever they
went in Europe"

He paused, endeavoring to see out

DELAWARE TEAM IS
BUSY AT REHOBOTH
Blue and Gold Warriors Having
Strenuous Workout Be
side the Sea.

Special Correspondence OF Every Evening
Rehoboth Beach, Sept. Several
days at the shore have done wonders in
turning the Is men from Delaware College
into shape and at present the squad is
undergoing strenuous practice twice daily.
Coach Shipley and his cohorts arrived
at Rehoboth last Friday, shortly before
IL clock, and Immediately went to the
Delaware Hotel, where the entire squad
is being quartered. He called practice
for Friday afternoon and about IL men re-
ported for the initial workout of the 1920
season.
The first days practice was light,
passing the ball, charging and running
constituting the program. Following
about an hour and half of such work the
squad did half mile along the beach and
hit the surf for a l5-minute swim.
Two practices were held Saturday
afternoon, on the same line as that of
Friday Only one practice was held Sun
day, the afternoon being given over to the
men for rest, many complaining of
stiffness and sunburn.
Every day has been very hot and as q re-
suit number of the gridiron warriors are

case is the worst, the remainder of the
squad being up and about yesterday
But one practice was held Labor Day,
Coach Shipley being of the opinion the
men should have the afternoon TO them
selves, as result of their 'labors" thus
far He gave them long practice in the
morning, put them through a snappy sig
nal drill and ended with mile on the
beach, followed by plunges into the surf.
The waves were very high and the men
were fatigued after the mornings work.

HORSE RACES GET
UNDER WAY At FAIR
Spectators Treated to Real Thrills
in Three Snappy Races on
Opening Day.

The first days horse racing at the State
Fair furnished the spectators with some
real thrills. In the first heat Of the 2.15
pace, Miss Liberty Bell nosed out Gilbert
M. The second heat, the best of the day,
was likewise won by nose. Gilbert M :, q
local horse, had a good lead in the first half
mile and looked like winner until they
came into the stretch, when Miss Liberty
Bell took the lead and won.
The three-year-old trot was won by
Nelly Jolla in straight heats with Mollie
Setter second.
The last race of the afternoon, the 2.27
trot had nine entries and furnished the
real sport of the day. Warren Allen of the
Willis stables at Newark, took the first
heat without much trouble. The second
heat was an exciting one. Trotwood, a
Philadelphia horse, took the lead in the
first half mile, but in the second one of the
best races ever seen at the fair took place
when Warren Allen passed Trotwood on
the stretch and won by a length. Warren
Allen broke in the last heat, but regained
it's stride and finished the race. The sum-
