Two comics were shown and ap- plauded very heartily by the juvenile porsion of the onlookers. Views ol the world and various. interesting scenes were shown.
 Rev. Barnet Il. Davis. the Baptfsi pastor at Powderly, and Rev. r. L. Newton, Methodist pastor of the sunnyside church, gave talks on the scout organization in which they pralsed the movement.
 Girls, said Rev. Davis, when you begin to think of selecting a husband, be sure to get Boy Scout. He will know how to cook and do housework and thus will be doubiy and trebly desirabie. Added to these two qualified tions is the fact that the organization teaches all the good principles that are so much needed in the makeup of an all round husband"
 Said Rev. Newton:
 The scout movement is great be- cause it gives the boy the sympa- thetic touch that brings out the best that is in him. Mere boys generally do not have this interest shown i'll them. but the Boy Scouts are given this influence and are by it, made better. A Boy Scout organization receives direction in the matter of growth. For these reasons more boys ought to join the Boy Scouts"

through the woods, how to fell a tree and the kind of trees which I may use, the way to pitch camp and how to run one. I learn the habits of the animals that roam in the for est and that these are my friends. I learn the nature and peculiarities of our native trees and how best to save and protect them. I am fought the beauty of living in Gods great out of doors, which He has given us to enjoy. From living with Nature I learn to be prepared" By living and working with Nature l am made stronger physically and my whole being is refreshed.
 In the Scout movement I am taught the lesson of international brotherhood. By being thrown with other boys I learn to be less selfish and more eonsiderate of my fellows.
 I am taught my duty to God and respect for the religion of others.
 For the lesson of helpfulness. for the Boy Scout code of honor, for the teachings of Nature, for the lesson of brotherhood and of my duty to God; for these and innumerable things else, I am Scout.

Merchant Marine Says
Admiral In Address

Philadelphia, April 7.-The United
shipping board is a permanent
and will live as long as the
marine, Rear Admiral Will
liam S. Benson, U. S. n, retired.
of the board. declared to-
day in an address here.
The question of placing our ships
on the, seven 9 a is a world wide
affecting every phase of
industry" he said.
-Four years S yesterday we en-
tered the war. Ships were needed.
We built them.
Today these same ships are still
being used. They have been allotted
by the board to reputable steamship
companies"
Admiral Benson told of the critic
ism that had been hurled at some Of
h products Of the emergency ship
yards.
We built many ships that were
undesirable" he declared. But it
was inevitable some ships Of this
character should be turned out. In
the main. the fleet turned out was
good. and compared favorably with
foreign ships"
Admiral Benson emphasized the
importance of keeping the merchant
marine to as high a standard as pos
sible.
Even if we are losing money in the
operation OF. our feet, we must stand
that loss, for the present for. if we
don't, foreign competitors will raise
their freight rates." he said.

CONFESSION
TAKEN SERIOUSLY

New York, April Suppressed by
the detailed account of the Joseph
Bown Elwell murder. given at Buffalo
yesterday by Roy Harris. former Gov
ernor Whitman, who is in charge Of
the murder investigation. said today
he was beginning to take more seri-
ously Harris's alleged confession of
completely in the crime.
Mr.. Whitman at first had been
skeptical Of Harris story, told We'd
nesday night after his arrest at Buff
falo. This skepticism, it vas alleged,
was due to the fact that the authori-
ties already had received seven Diff
ferent confessions, six by letter and
n in person.
It was reported today that Mr..
Whitman was making an effort to
have Harris brought to this city.
Harris, arrested IN a forgery charge,
signed a statement that he and Will
liam Duncan. a friend, were hired.
with promise of $4,000 each, to kill
the turfman. He claimed that q
woman known as MRS. Fairchild''
employed them.
Detention of a New York woman,
whose photograph was identified ten
tAively by Harris as that Of Mrs.
Fairchild," was suggested to Mr..
Whitman by the district attorney at
Buffalo, but Mr.. Whitman decided to
wait for further developments before
taking action.
