SCOUTS RESCUE CLIMBER.

He couldn't get up and he couldn't

of Louis E. Seider, director of the De-
fender club of New York. And it
fell to the lot Of boy scouts to de-
fend him from the most powerful
force in the world, the force of grav-
ity. Mr.. Seider took the notion he
would scale the Palisades of the Hud-
son river at one Of their steepest
points. After ascending 100 feet he
was unable to go higher or to de-
scend in safety.

hiking along a low trail, heard his
call for aid and with their scout ropes

press In words my feelings, but down
in my heart feel a deep regard for
those boys and the scout movement"

SCOUTS IN WINTER CAMP

That camping with the boy scouts

by the vast interest shown In winter

summer camp conducted during the
long school vacation period.

scouts In more than $4,000 neighbOr-
hood group camps Of boy scouts

by so doing have new interest to lead
them again into the great out Of doors.
These youthful "Nlmr0ds," In their
enthusiasm fol the conquest OF the
wonderland thus revealed, will In great
err number this winter continue the
camping program in broken doses, so
to speak, on weekend and vacation
throughout the days Of the whole win
ter season, and grown-ups will wonder
why they didn't discover similar plan
long ago.

three hundred thousand per cent.
The profits of one of the latter, a
steel mill, came from fat contract
with the Government.
These figures are based on income
tax returns, and Congress and the
Executive Departments have been
trying to hide them, but the report
was finally published over the pro-
test of reactionary Senators.
Will the profiteers take a warn
ing? No, they are welded to their
idols. But the mob will take a hand
unless the people all over the United
States call a halt on consumption.
This is the only peaoeable solution,
and it is time to sit up and take
notice.
We must listen to the conservative
men of the country at this crucial
period. 1t must be done, men, or we
go down in an avalanche of horror
in bloody revolution. Listen to such
men as Mr.. Walker, Mr.. Morris, Mr..
Bratton, DR.. McRee, Mr.. Clogs, and
heed their advice to economic.
Don't buy anything but the neces-
stiles of life' Leave off the silk
shirts and the silk stockings and the
useless but wholly ornamental things
until at least the crises have been
passed. Cut out the sugar as much
as possible. This will not be hard
to do. Don't eat so much meat.
Have your garden and live on vege-
tables. There is no joke about all
this talk. 1t is serious. Let every
man live within his means. The
banks have already been warned
that money is not to be loaned on lux
uries. Men cannot expect to borrow
from the banks to buy automobiles.
An order against this has been is
sued. Above all, let those who are
able to live in luxury set an exam
pie to the more unfortunate by the
practice of economy. 1t behooves us
all to listen to these admonitions.
