Scouts Keep the Law.

Every now and then some judge or
Juvenile court worker bears testi-
mony that scouting keeps boys out OF
mischief, that scouts keep the law and
are good citizens in embryo. Recently
q. E. Harmen, an attorney Of Tacoma,
Wash, made the following statement:
"Of all the boys passing through the
Juvenile court in the last year, not one
was an active scout" There are TOO
boys afiliated with the Tacoma coun-
ell, so this statement really means
something Not one boy who came up
as a case before the court was an ac-
tive scout, and upon Investigation 1t
was shown that in only two cases were
the offenders boys who had had any
connection whatever at any time with
scouting. E. West, In Boys
Life.

Meeting for their twentieth annual
banquet the Kappa Gamma frater-

last night in the onyx room of the
New Ebbitt Hotel.
To the casual observer this fes-

quiet as the usual hum of converse

entirely missing. Not so with the
members. however. for the spirit
of good fellowship which permeated
the hall was perfectly expressed
among them by use of the sign
