SCOUT LESSON IN KNOT. HOLE

Never heard of sermon in knot
hole, did you? Well, g. Dean Ward,
an assistant scout executive Of Nor
folk, Va, has prepared one. Here II
Is:
A square knot Is knot used for
tying two rope ends t0gther. II Is
one Of the best knots one can know
for all practical uses. VIII It sllpi
No. IT will not slip. Real scouts are
like square knot They are taking
the loose ends Of their natures and
tying them up tight into the program
Of scouting. If they are real scouts.
like real square knot-they will not
slip. no matter what the clrcum-
stances.
Now, there is another knot which
looks just exactly like the square
knot, but II will slip. Although II
looks like a square knoG a person can
soon tell the difference when he gets
n close look. Some boys in scouting
are very much like this knot. They
come In, get a uniform. parade around
in 1t and hardly give the scout oath
and law thought. They are slip
ping just the same as this knot This
knot Is known by three names and
all three fit. 1t is either a robber, Il
burglar or thief.
The name might be applied TO the
hoy who slips into scouting and slips
out again. Although he looks like n
scout, when a person gets good look
at him he can soou tell. just the same
as looking at the robber knot. that
he isn't on the square. ASH stated.

[, THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"Fox.Tro rot"

VARIOUS efforts have been
Y made to trace this name
for the popular dGncestep to the
pace or tr0t of a horse, some
investigators going so far as 10
locate a certain Mr.. Fox who
owned a horse which tr0tted In
a peculiar fashion and, because
of which, he referred to one Of
the newest of dances lat that
time) as q "fOx-trot.' ,
But, while there was a nun
named Fox connected with the
origin of the term as common
: ly used today, he was a vaude-
vile dancer. not a horse fan
cier. When this dancer desired
to Introduce a number of new
steps into his vaudeville act,
early In 1914, he took certain
portions OF the One-stap and
added TO them a number Of
variations of his own, billing
the entire performance as "The
Fox-Trot, a new dance Originat-
ed solely by the performers
themselves" Society, eager 10
take up something new in the
line of dancing, studied the
steps and ite'was not long be-
fare the entire country was fox
trotting to the syncopated melo-
dies which precisely fitted this
kind of amusement. The only
reward that Fox received was
that his name. without the cap
ital letter, was spread broad
cast over two continents.

COLLIDE HEAO0N
TEN MEET DEATH AND SEVENTY
INJURED IN TROLLEY CRASH
NEAR DENVER.
Conductor Failed to Obey Orders and
Is Responsible for Collision That
Caused Passengers to Meet
Their Death.

Denver.-Tcn persons were killed
and seventy injured when two interur-
ban cars colllded headon on curve
just outside of GlObeville, a suburb OF
Denver. Monday afternoon.
A special train and trailer carrying
load of holiday pleasure-seekers to
EldOradO Springs, a well-knOwn re-
sort, collided with regular car re-
turning from Boulder to Denver on
the Denver & Interurban railroad.
According to officials in charge OF
the GlObevile station, the conductor OF
the outbound car failed to obey orders
to wait at GlObeville for the incoming
car. The incoming car was two min
utes behind schedule and was running
at high speed to make up the time.
When the cars struck they plOwed
into each other for distance of fiji
teen feet.
Most of the casualties occurred on
the inbound car, but few on either car
escaped without injury.
At least two persons were killed
when they jumped in an attempt to
save themselves.
