Richmond boys are going to have
the chance of saying the above am
bition in earnest soon. Boys Sec.
rotary Wilson of the "Y" who
passed the Senior Red Cross and
the International Life Saving tests
at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, last
month, is planning to organize
Junior Life Saving Corps as soon as
his own charter Is received.
For some time-since 1911
there have been Junior Life-Saving
Corps in many parts of the United
States, as well as Senior Corps,
connected with the American Red
Cross organization. Boys from IL
to IS years of age may qualify as
members. 1t has often been proved
that boys who learn to swim at an
early age make good life-savers, es-
pecially among boys and girls of
their own age.
To be so skilled in life-saving and
so accustomed to the water as to be
fearless of it, to the extent of saw
ing even one life would be a very
great satisfaction to any Junior.
Having heard of Secretary Wilson's
skill as a swimmer and his success
in passing. the life-saving tests of
two great organizations, we feel
that the boys may well fell conf
dent of the quality of their training,
for he, himself, is to be director of
the corps.
Three Tests Required of Juniors
There are three tests to be
passed by members of a Junior life
saving corps, the Beginners test,
the Swimmers and the Life-Saver's
tests. When Junior passes sue
cessfully any one Of these tests, he
will receive badge, signifying
which test he has passed. When he
has passed all three tests and re-
ceived his Junior Life-Saver's GER
tificate he will be given the Junior
life-saver's emblem for his bathing
suit. The emblem is an attractive
one, triangular shaped, and in the
colors red, purple and white. A
medallion for the Junior Life
Savers coat is also available when
the three tests have been passed
The best part of all, however
stunning the emblems which show
his honor to the world may be, is
the thought in the Junior Life
Savers mind that he can really
save the life of some one who,
through carelessness or accident, is
in danger of drowning when enjoy
ing one of the very best sports of
all-swimming.

Three Boys Ride in
the President Car

How would you feel if you went
to the old swimming hole one after
noon just TO have nice swim, and
came riding home in the presi-
dents car, with the president, him
self? That is what happened to
three boys who went swimming in
Rock Creek park, Washington,
D. c., last Saturday afternoon.
The boys were hiking home after
the swim when they saw the presi-
dents car coming. Off came the
boys hats, and the president or
dered the car stopped The boys
asked him how he was getting
along.
Hop in" then said the presi-
dent, and, of course, they hoped.
Water from the wet hair of the
boys trickled down on the presi.
dents shoes. One OF the boys apol-
ogized, but was told not to worry.
The youngest of the three, eight
years old, saw one Of his friends,
and waved to him. So surprised
was this friend to see his old pal
riding with the president that he
dropped the loaf of bread he was
carrying, and just stared.
When the boys got out all three
of them shook hands with the
president and started home.

FLOUR SACK CUSHION
FROM RICHMOND ON
STEAMER IN RED SEA

Have you ever thought who re-
ceived all those sweaters and knit
ted comforts and blankets and
bandages and cushions you juniors
made during the war? A story
about one of these things that were
sent from Richmond was told the
other day. 1t happened on the
steamship Grantully Castle when
that steamer was in the Red Sea,
outside the harbor of Port Sudan.
The person who told us about it.,
and it was told especially for Jul
nior readers, is Mrs. B. Willis
Beede, who used to live in Rich
mond, but who is taking long
trip to many parts of the world.
While sitting in her steamer
chair one day Mrs. Beede saw
hanging over the back of chair
the end of a cushion, with the
words Richmond, Ind, U. S. A"
on it. A Belgian woman was sit
ting in the chair. Later she saw
the whole cushion and it was a
flour sack with these words on it:
Donated by the Citizens of Rich
mond, Ind, U. S. A." And across
the top was Belgian War Relief"
This last word was embroidered in
the Belgian national colors of red,
yellow and black, and Richmond,
Ind" was embroidered in blue let.
ters with white stars in them.
There was an embroidered Greek
border forming the outside of a
circle, and in this circle the woman
had embroidered a sheaf of yellow
wheat.
Two flags, the United States and
the Belgian, were embroidered in
their own colors at the top of the
cushion, and between them was a
star for the Belgian Congo. A
fringe of red and yellow and black
was around the edge.
Later Mrs. Beede learned that
the woman and her husband had
been in the Congo and returned to
Belgium just before the war broke
out. The woman had been Ger
man prisoner for some time, and
after she was released this sack of
flour had been given to them.
Mrs. Beede also told about wait
ing in the Red Sea for the tide to
rise SO that their steamer could go
over the sand bars. While waiting
they could see standstorm, I'm
whirlwind form, travelling down the
coast. The desert wind which was
blowing felt, she said, like an oven
feels when you open the door Of
it while it is hot. While waiting
also a boat of Sudanese, people |
who live in Sudan, came on their
steamer to sell fish. She said they !
were very, very dark-brown in col
or and that one had hair sticking
out straight several inches from
his head.
Perhaps long years from now,
while some of you Juniors are
travelling abroad, you may see all |
sorts of things sent to other coun-
tries by our country during the
war .,.

BOY SCOUTS VISITING PARIS

boy Shoots" is what the Paris
ians call the Boy Scouts. There are
300 of them now visiting in Paris,
having made the trip to take part in
international Boy Scout athletics.
They are evidently getting the
most out of their trip, for all are so
interested in sightseeing, and one
was heard to exclaim: Gee, could
write hundred pages on just what
we've seen today"
It's harder to be wrong all the
time than right all the time.

Simple Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once. and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store Gthis is all you will need). apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in gen.
thy with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace OF it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy. silky and soft. and look and
feel hundred times better.-Adv.

legality of this was to be taken up in
the arguments this afternoon.
The shooting of Keller grew out of
the strike of the local cereal workers
last fall. Kellar and Mcintosh. with
other union men. were picketing the
III mill in an effort to induce strike
breakers from taking their. places.
Keller testified that he stopped Rob-
ert W. Miller, a strikebreaker accom-
panSing Sigman to the mill, and
asked him not to go to work. Miller
pushed him aside with his elbow. Kel-
Ter stated, with the declaration that
he was going to work in the mill.
Keller knocked him down with a
blow in the face, according to testi-

mony,s and repeated the act when
Miller had regained his feet A third
time. Keller said, he swung at the man
but missed. Either by the force of the
swing or by stumbling. Keller said he
fell to his hands and knees While
in that position, the states witness
testified, Sigman shot him. When Nc
Intosh approached with the request
to Sigman not to shoot again. the SUI
perintendent shot Mcintosh, so the
story went. The latter was struck in
the right leg and left foot.
An X-ray picture of Keller's wound,
taken shortly after the shooting by di-
rection of Doctor Narcotic. was to be
submitted in evidence by the state this
afternoon

August 6. 1919.
The defense moved that the court
instruct the jury to find the defendant
not guilty, because of a fault in the
information, which charged Sigman
with assaulting 1. E. Keller. On the
witness stand the mill hand asserted
his name was Edmund ]. Keller. Ar
guments on the motion were to be
heard this afternoon.
The trial began Monday morning
with a huge array of witnesses and
counsel on each side. At the request
of the defense, all witnesses were eX-
cluded from the court room during the
hearing, except when called upon to
testify. The testimony of the state's
witnesses varied but little in general.

which is prescribed and recommended by
physicians and which is now being used by
over three million people annually, is not a
secret remedy but one which is well known
to druggists everywhere. Unlike the older
inorganic iron products it is easily assimi-
lated and does not injure the teeth, make
them black nor upset the stomach. The
manufacturers guarantee successful and
entirely satisfactory results to every pur-
chaser or they will refund your money. 1t
