SCOUTS IN CAMP IN WINTER
Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)

The boy scouts are encouraged to
camp out in cold weather as much as
possible.
On these winter excursions the boys
are instructed how to make their out
ings novelty in spite Of the adverse
conditions that prevail. The scouts
carry their own food and at night live
in tents.
1t has been pointed out by the de-
partment OF camping that the winter
camp offers many Interesting feature%
that cannot be enjoyed In any other
season of the year for recreation and
education for the boys.
The necessity of teaching the scouts
woodcraft In the winter is essential in
the studies of scoutdom, and during
these excursions the scouts receive In
struction in the art Of building camp
fires, the preparing of shelters and
comfortable hunks to house them in
bad weather, and other outdoor stud
les.
One Of the main features suggested
for the camp is the transplanting of
trees. During the winter, which Is
more favorable for transportation, this
craft can be carried out on a more ex-
tensive scale.
The tracking and trailing Of fur
bearing animals in the snow, and all
kinds Of winter sports, such as Ice
skating, ice boating and skiing can
usually be INDUCED in.

So Much Smoke There Must Be Fires

A URORA, lila scandal which
"A "shoOk to its foundation" the Jen-
nings seminary, conducted by Method
list deaconesses at Aurora. has resulted
in the dismissal of four undergradu-
ates They smoke.
For several days five members of
the faculty have been conducting an
investigation which began with the
faint aroma of smoke in the dormitory
halls. Thirty-five girls of all classes
were questioned. nine were reprimand-
ed and four went away, never to re-
turn.
Miss Bertha Barber, principal of the
seminary since 1904, explained it thus ::
I'VE went about this situation very
carefully and have made no mistakes y
she said. 1--WE learned that two girls
who returned from spring vacation
March 20 brought cigarets with them.
Two others Joined in the smoking. and
before they were done they had eleven
girls smoking or trying to.
1--WE first got the odor of the Gig
arets at night. Members of the faculty
crept up to the dormitory and caught
two Of the ringleaders. The conduct
of these ringleaders was unbelievable,
for they had induced seven other girls
less than 15 years old each to attempt
smoking"
Miss Barber explained that in the
sixty years of the schools history the
only previous blot upon its fair name
was the arrival Of girl from Chicago
in 1912 who smoked one cigaret and

Collie Called All Day for Help.

Through the persistent barking of
faithful collie dog who was trying
hard to summon the assistance of hu-
man hands, the body of his master
Ernest Alleman was found in the
ruins of his dwelling that had been
destroyed by fire.
Alleman was recluse, except for
his dog, living in the outskirts Of New
Bedford, Mass. His bungalow burned
in the early morning. and all day long
the collie watched the charred embers,
pleading frantically most of the time
for searchers. Ernest Perneiet finally
came to make a casual call upon his
! friend Alleman. He was greatly sur
prised to find the house in ruins. The
dog told him his troubles. and Perne-
let procured shovel and unearthed
