SCOUTS AT OLYMPIC GAMES.

The 300 or more Boy Scouts of
America who toured France and Bel
quinn following the recent world
scouts "Jamboree" in England, spent
only one day in Antwerp, Belgium, but
it was the livellest and ''loudest" day
Of their whole speedy and noisy Eu-
ropean trip. That was August 18th,
the second day of the Olympic games,
when the American athletes made
their first sensational strides in the
smashing of world records, and it was
just the scout delegations luck to be
there that day. They were given the
distinction of acting as the guard of
honor to King Albert on the way to
the games. and as guests of the Olym-
pic committee, had choice seats in the
American section of the vast stadium.
The cable dispatches OF that day in
describing the scene following the I'M
furling of the Stars and Stripes at the
peak of the "honor pole" and an
nouncement Of the wonderful perform
ance of our athletes said:
"There was a wild burst of enthusi-
asm from the whole audience punctu
ated with an organized yell Of the
American roofing party, which was
augmented this day by a large con-
tingent of Boy Scouts of America. The
crowd In the American section went
wild. Men and women flung their
hats in the air and shouted, cheered,
sung and screamed. But by far the
widest lot of enthusiasts was that
body of boy scouts who had just ar
rived from the London jamboree.
The section was sea of tossing fig
ures as the scouts stood on their seats
and roared their delight"

CITY SCOUTS IN "H0LD-UP"

When the five boy scouts who were
chosen by contest to represent the five
boroughs of Greater New York to tour
the great national parks as guests of
the Far Western Travellers association
were departing from New York, John
B. Patton, president of the association,
said he regretted that the city boys
would pot be able to see life as it was
in the early days of highwaymen. One
of the boys remarked: Don't mind
that, Mr.. Patton. we know the wild
west has been tanned and that there
are more hold ups right here at home
every week than there are out there
in year. only we don't very often
see Them"
However, the five city boys did get
the thrill of their lives when they were
actually held up by highwayman be-
fore their trip WIS half over. This
was near the end of July when the
boys were on their way to Yosemite
rark. Scout Herbert jacob, thirteen
years old, the Youngest member of the
party, sent the following description OF
their experience to Scout Executive
Worden, of the Queen county council,
which he represents:
"We had some wonderful adventures
in Yosemite park. At MERGED we
boarded the stage for Glacier Point.
Before arriving in the big tree district
we encountered log lying across the
road. Behind it was man with
wicked-looking shotgun leyeled right
Mt our heads. Geei the bore looked
as big as an apple. The man was
dressed in blue overallS, with dirty
blue serge jacket over them He was
about 50 years old and was not very
large. He ordered hands up Of
course we willingly obeyed.
"Just then our driver recovered his
wits and said: 'Aw, Boss, they're on

what was going on in his mind), and
probably feeling a spark of patriotism,
he told us to put our hands down, but
warned the driver not to move. In a
few minutes the two other stages ar
eive6 on the scene and we had the
pleasure of seeing the occupants line
up and shell out The bandit must
have been about $500 richer when he
made his getaway. Think of it, a
hold-up In these years! 1t was just
our luck to have it, too"
