INDIA SCOUTS APPEAL FOR
 RECOGNITION

London.-Just because the white Boy Scouts of India are so SnobbiSh as to refuse to associate with their brown brothers is sufficient cause for ter and for Sir Robert Baden Powell to take a special trip over there.
 The fact that the white Scouts have refused to allow the Indian boys to affiliate with them has for some time been a great bone of contention. There are more than two million In dian Boy Scouts, and they have for some time felt that the Scout spirit was not shown by the white boys.
 After the big "Jamboree' here the Indian boys again made a claim to be allowed to affiliate with the whites and were refused. This caused so much unrest that the Indian govern pointing out that these boys were just of an age that they would come to manhood at about the time when the Prince of Wales would, in the course, of nature, attain the throne and to have this number of disaffected Indians at that time would hardly be of much value to the empire. The king sent for Sir Robert, and after due consideration of the matte, it was decided that the Chief Scout for such is Sir Roberts title-woul6 go to India and try to adjust the mat ter
 Sir Robert is now on his way, ant | it is hoped that he will be able to fl, things up so that the Indian boy will no longer feel that they are ou 1 of the game-as far as their Englis] 1 brothers are-concerned.
 i The Prince of Wales, as Chic l Scout for Wales, has taken a big in 1 terest in the matter, and he person 1 ally urged Sir Robert to underta k l the mission.

SHOULD MEN TAKE OFF THEIR HATS
 IN ELEVATORS

Cincinnati, Ohio.-Shall men keep their hats on in the presence of wom- en while in public elevators?
 This question has occasioned wide spread comment here.
 The Building Owners and Msnag- CTS Association here has suggested that the practice of men removing their hats when women step into the elevators be abolished
 Members of this association say one man's eyeglasses were broken and he was injured as result of doffing his hat, and that numerous accidents have occurred, due to the display of courtesy.
 Cincinnati club women, however oppose the suggestion.
 Simply because women have re- ceived the right to vote, or have en- tered the business world, is not suf- ficient reason to affect the innate courtesy of men, which a true gentle man will show toward a woman" in slsts officials of the women's clubs
 Expressing the hope that this old time courtesy never will be d:scour- aged, they say they do not see why relations~-between men and women should change in any way.
