When they came to the American
Surety company building, the English

did it >take to build that building?"
"About two years." the boy replied.

build it in year." Next they came
to the National Park bank building.
"How long did it take to build that
building?" the Englishman asked.
"About year," was the answer. "That
was a long time. We English would
have built 1t In six months" Then
they came to the Woolworth building.

MODERN PIONEERS
ADVERTISE IDAHO
Brooklyn Officials Start
Party on Long
Journey

The following article is taken
form the Indianapolis News Of Mon
day, Aug. and gives US an idea OF
the advertising Idaho is getting thru
SCOTS caravan. The caravan left
Brooklyn on July % and Is now In
Ohio. These modern pioneers will
reach Blackfoot September and
will stop for lunch:
A Modern Caravan" consisting
of twenty-eight families and number
ing ninety persons, to say nothing Of
numerous cats and dogs, left
Borough Hall, Brooklyn. shortly
after noon one day last week on the
first leg Of the long trek to Bull,
Idaho, where each family is to set
tie on ranch given by the state OF
Idaho from the desert land re-
claimed by irrigation. The members
of the caravan rode in automobiles,
one for each family and behind each
auto was q trailer containing uten-
sils and baggage.
William D. Scott, who organized
the back to the soil movement" led
the procession. The autos gathered
at Fulton street and Throop avenue,
Brooklyn. After taking their place
in line they moved down Fulton
street and Lafayette avenue to
Borough Hall, where they were met
by Edward Riegelmann, president OF
the borough and other borough Of
flcials.
Mr.. Riegelmann made speech
wishing the members of the party
success in their venture and hoped
that they would never forget the
days spent in Brooklyn. He pre-
scented to Mr.. Scott a flag of Brook
Ign and a flag of the United States.
The Winchester Arms company also
presented Mr.. Scott with a duplicate
of the rife usually carried by Will
lam F. Cody Buffalo BILL The
Rotary club of Brooklyn gave the
caravan skeleton American flag
having one stripe. The other stripes
and stars will be added by Rotary
clubs in cities that the caravan
passes thru.
Mary Cecilia, Walsh, six months
old, was the youngest member of the
party. There were six children be-
low six year and eleven children
ranging from seven to eleven. There
were thirty-four women and forty
eight men. Mrs. Barbara Lyons
came from Bull, Idaho to take care
of the women and children on the
trip, and Jess O. Eastmon, of the
Bull Chamber Of Commerce, made
the trip east to ride back with the
caravan. His duty will be to pick
out the roads and meet the recep-
ton parties along the road.

A RECORD OF CAR PROTECTION

When D. A. Jenkins bought his
new Nash car of the sport model, he
received it on Thursday, had it in
sured on Friday. it was stolen on
Friday night, found on Monday, in
spected, repaired and loss adjusted
on Tuesday and he drove it home
that night.
The risk was carried by the Globe
C Rutgers Insurance company OF
New York thru the Thorstenberg
Real Estate company at Blackfoot,
representing the San Francisco Of
fee. Mr.. Thorstenberg received the
verbal order for the insurance on
Friday and made up the papers, but
before they had reached the San
Francisco office he wired them an
nouncement of the Disappearance of
the car and telegraphic and tele-
phone messages were spread all over
a wide area telling officers and gar
age and hotel men and people at
strategic points to look out for the
car. On the day the the insurance
papers reached San Francisco Mr..
Thorstenberg announced the re-
covery of the car and received in
structions to have it inspected and
repaired in all respects, where it had
been damaged since it was stolen,
which he did, and on Tuesday when
inspected and repaired in all respects
where it had been damaged since 1t
was stolen, which he did, and on
Tuesday when inspection and repair
ing had been completed he wired
them the bill for 1925 which they
approved and Mr.. Jenkins accepted
the machine and started for home,
making the run in nine hours.
Mr.. Jenkins is we'll satisfied with
the treatment he received and with
the, prompt action that helped to
make it impossible for the thieves
to get out Of the country with the
car. They had abused it in the race,
evidently tipped 1t over once, and
failed to oil it as they should. BY
an investment Of $22 in premium for
the insurance policy he received the
protection of the organization behind
the insurance company and saved
1925 of expense OF recovery Of the
property.
Mr.. Thol stenberg says it is grow
ing more and more difficult for
thieves to get away with insured
cars, and especially those cars that
have some feature by which they can
be described, and identified on the
run. A man should know the num-
Der of his license plate and the num-
Der on his engine, as well as some
other outstanding points of indemnity
to be used in telegraphing descrip-
tions of it,

SCOUTS
THE HAPPY scouTMAsTER
Conducted by Nations; Council of Il
Boy Scouts of America.)

The National council of the Boy
Scouts Of America, at its eleventh an
nual meeting. held In New York City
"a short time ago, adopted resolution
expressing heartfelt appreciation Of the
loyal and self-sacriicing service Of the
volunteer workers In the movement,
Throughout the nation. This Is q rec
ignition due from all Of US who have
sons or who are interested In the well
fare Of boys. all Of us, who understand
that what our youth is being taught
today. will determine what our Ameri-
ca will be tomorrow.
In an article In a recent issue Of
scouting appears this fine commentary
on the happy scoutmaster who wall
antly serves his country in time Of
peace. Placing duties above rights,
service above self, he fares forth to
win for his country the heart Of youth,
the hope Of the world.
"The happy scoutmaster perceives
that what makes his efforts worth
while is not only that through whole
some play he may save boy from the
error Of his way, but also that life
being real and earnest and practical
d boy must learn to labor, and 1t Is
the happy scoutmaster who kindles
within the heart Of youth the fires of
ambition-passion to make the most of
himself, the will to work, to serve his
country and to honor and reverence
his God.
"The happy scoutmaster finds the
motive power Of his own life in the
scout oath and law and counts that
day lost wherein no good turn is done.
Nobly inspired, his boys follow the
same vision splendid and like knights
of old find the Holy Grail in helping
other people at all times. He is, in
deed, the happy scoutmaster; when SO
prepared, he wins the confidence of the
boy and offers opportunity for youth
to prove how gloriously 1t will do the
right wherever there Is such man
to lead.
MANY serve their country valiantly.
Some have lived, and given much 9TH
ers have died, and given all. But
who more than the happy scoutmaster
for his country's sake lays down his
life? Having one life to give to his
country, he gives it freely that youth
may be served.
while others concern themselves
with seeming weightier matters, the
happy scoutmaster lays foundations
that make safe the future building of
democracy"

"THERE LITTLE
GIRL, DON'T CRY"

written for The Gem State Argus
by Dicky Posey)
You have my sympathy, little girl,
The men don't like your clothes,
Nor your hair combed over your
pretty ears,
Poke fun at your powdered nose.
They say you should dress more
modestly
Now that you're all grown up.
But you're just as sweet as your
grandma was
When she covered her wish-bone up.
They get all sobby and full of tears
As they talk Of the good old days
When your grandma swayed the
hearts of men
With her winning and winsome
ways.
How she built her dresses up to her
chin
And down below her knees,
But you're all right. Grille, I vote
for yon strong,
So dress as you goll-darn please.
I remember your grandma wore a
train
And she swept the sidewalk clean,
And the men stood back and they
grouched and growled,
AS they always have. wean,
But she went right on her own sweet
way,
Just as you do, my dear,
AS she moped up measles and
thyphoid germs
And scattered them everywhere.
When she put on her hustle and big
hoop skirts ~
The men folks jerred and Knocked
And when she banged her beautiful
hair
Strong, virile men were shocked;
But they kept on falling In love with
her,
AS with you, my dear, today,
They may crouch and grumble and
jeer and mock,
But they fall for you, anyway.
So, you're just as good as your
grandma was,
And she was winsome and true,
You would look like sin If you
dressed like her,
And she wouldn't have dressed like
you,
But her heart was clean and her.
soul was white,
And her fair name stands undimmed.
1t is not the cut of your dress, my
dear,
But the way that your soul is trim
med.

A NEW STAR.

Astronomers have discovered a new
star which is arousing unusual inter-
est. It is known as the Nova Sagitarii
star or "novae." Stars of this kind
burst suddenly into flame and then
fade away until they are invisible to
the eye. Sometimes they can still be
seen by powerful telescopes, while
again they disappear entirely. Astron-
omers have many theories to account
for the sudden disappearance Of such
stars, but they still remain a mystery.

AIRPLANE BOMBING
TESTS SUCCESSFUL
Test Demonstrated no
More Than Was Act
ually Accomplished

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The bomb
ing tests against the Ostfriesland
we're spectacular to q degree. Huge
geysers of water and tremendous
bursts of flame marked the explo-
sion of the bombs near her hull and
on her decks. After two days Of at
tack she sank, twenty minutes after
q lucky hit had detonated half q ton
of explosive below the waterline a
few feet from her hull. The an
nouncement has gone forth to the
country by press associations and
private wire that ,airplanes have
demonstrated their ability to sink
a battleship.
Such a conclusion requires some
qualification. When the Ostriesland
was sent to the bottom she was no
battleship in the true sense Of the
word. She was a helpless hulk, an
chored, wallowing in the waves; I'M
able to move, to send an answering
shot at her aerial attackers, to
throw out smoke screen, or make
any other effort at self defense. The
planes approached their prey at their
leisure, flew at height that would
have been suicide In the face Of anti
aircraft gunfire, deliberately drop
ped small preliminary ranging
bombs, and then let loose their big
charges Of T. N. T. They flew over
the ship from stem to stern, giving
a line of fire some 900 feet long. If
they had been compelled to fly trans
versely across the vessel, as there
would certainly be an equal chance
of doing in actual combat, the line of
fire would have been cut to sixty or
seventy feet.
But even under the most favorable
conditions for attack, only about one
bomb in fire found its mark or was
sufficiently near the target to inflict
any injury. Moreover, not single
direct hit caused sufficient damage
to interfere with the ships stability,
or her power to steam ahead. Every
one of the twelve big guns in her
six turrets was in theoretical work
ing order when she went down. Not
a single bomb penetrated or even in
jured her three-inch protective deck.
And this in spite of the fact that APP
proximately 5000 pounds of T. N. 7.
the most powerful explosive known,
was dropped upon her. Further
more, the Ostfriesland was alone, the
center of attack from all the planes.
In actual combat she would have
been one unit of fleet, all doing
their utmost to ward off attack from
above. Again, she had no planes of
her own to send aloft to meet the
attackers in their own element.
When war comes again, the next bat
tie between air and water forces will
include all the factors missing from
the attack on the Ostfriesland, and
the result will be very different
story.
The truth of the matter seems to
be that the tests demonstrated no
more than was actually accomplished
the sinking Of battleship not in
condition to act on the defensive.
Undoubtedly bombing airplanes will
be features OF every fleet equipment
in the future and the United States
must be ready to meet an enemy
prepared to conduct an attack from
the air-must be ready to meet air
plane with airplane, and pursue the
same lines of attack adopted by the
enemy.
