A Hornets Nest
By MARTHA M. WILLIAMS


(@. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate }
"You surely are goose--a green
goose at that" Mrs. Barney said
acidly to her niece, Susanah. Su-
sanah giggled wickedly and went on
with the matter in hand-tnat of put
ting her hair in papers all over her
head. Ash-blond hair, silk-fine, abun-
dant, 1t had been cut short the night
before while she was staying with
Mary Peters.
Hence Aunt Barney's indictment
after the strictest crOss-examination
had not shown her a reason for the
change. II just wanted to see myself
hair grows again, you know" was
all that Susanah had said audibly.
Her eyes, however, twinkling like mad,
held quite another story.
"Humph! Your head looks exactly
like. a nigger's all wrapped for the
week." Mrs. Barney shifted as Su-
sanah swathed the biggest silk ban
danna Grandfather Main had left be-
hind, deftly into perfect turban.
Again the girl giggled-but this time
with bow, and murmured: "Glad
you think so," as she ran away up
stairs. A little later she called from
the front steps:
'Miss Betsy, I'm going visiting for
maybe week. Don't you worry
it's missionary effort" Then she
ran down to where the Peters flivver
waited, carrying plump handbag and
singing "ROll Jordan!"
That afternoon Mrs. Clarice Dent
explained tearfully to Em-Smith, the
maid she had just hired: Don't you
mind anything I may say. I'm ALL
ragged out. You heard about the
robbery? No! I declare! Where do
you come from? Down beyond
thought everybody knew. Burglars
took all my jewels night before last
of offering q reward worth while and
getting back my pearls and diamonds

she knows no more about the-the loss
than I myself do"
"Aint dat des too bad 7" Em-Smith
murmured, casting up her eyes, and
shaking her head. 1t was very well

"You right sho that Fills woman

gold honor medal awarded by the
national court of honor Of the Boy
Scouts of America is Joseph II. Mar
dis Of East Liverpool, o. While still
a second class scout Mardis, when on
camp trip, went to midnight fire

the scoutmaster across the chest. Fully
realizing his own danger. Scout Mar
dis made every effort to save his COM
panion, by trying to pull him away
from the wire. Having succeeded in
doing this, badly burned as he was
himself and suffering intense pain, he
worked over the unconscious and dy-
ing scoutmaster, rendering first aid I'M

FORMER SCOUTS IN COLLEGE

An interesting development in scout
ing relationship with the universities
has been seen in the work of the Ithaca
IN. W council, Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, in connection with Cornell uni
versity. A meeting of the students at
tending Cornell university who have
been scouts was held. The local coun-
ell brought before these students
their desire to be of assistance to
them and serve them In every way
possible while they are at college, and
to bring before them their opportu-
nifty to help scouting nationally. Sew
eral Of the young men who have been
scouts are helping with the local work.
One of them who came to the meeting
was Chou-son-King, who has been an
assistant scoutmaster in Shanghai,
China.
At Syracuse university a similar
movement Is on foot in the way of get
ting together students who have been
scouts.
Recently at Oxford university in
England, National Educational Direct
Or Lorne w. Barclay investigated the
University Scout club there and found
1t very helpful activity. This sug-
gestion may be of real service in col
lege towns, not only to the students
but to the boys of that community.

URGES WILSON To
AID DISARMAMENT.
HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COM.
MiTTEE HAS PLAN TO INSURE
PERMANENT PEACE.
Would Authorize President to Invite
All Nations to Send Delegates
to Conference to Consider
Ways and Means.

Observation-Disclosures looking toward
disarmament were taken on January
10 by the house foreign affairs COM
mittee, which reported a resolution
authorizing President Wilson to invite
all nations to send delegates to an in
ternational conference to consider
ways and means.
Although all members of the COM
mittee voted for the proposal, Demo
Gratis objected to its adoption now,
on the ground that it might embar-
rass the president. They contended it
was a question which should be con-
sidered by President-elect Harding.
Chairman Porter, an advocate of the
movement, insisted, however, that 1t
was the desire to have the resolution
ready for Mr.. Harding if Mr.. Wilson
did not act on 1t.
Representative Brooks (Rep) of
Illinois, author of the resolution, an
nounced that efforts would be made
to expedite its consideration by the
house. There was no indication of
any movement to get together with the
senate, which has pending resolution
by Senator Borah (Rep) of Idaho,
providing for armament reduction by
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan, and a resolution by Senator
Walsh (Dem.) of Montana, authorizing
the president to appoint a member of
the disarmament commission of the
league of nations.

BOY SCOUTS ONE BIG NIGHT

The evening of February s is the
GATE that evsry boy scout In the land
remembers. 1t Is the red-letter date
In his calendar. For ii was on Feb
ruary that the Boy Scouts of Amer
tea was Incorporated, and 1t is an es-
tablshed custom for all scouts to cele-
Drate the event annually.
The custom has assumed the form
Of huge birthday party for the whole
organization, starting with or at least
including February 8, and continuing
through Lincoln's birthday, February
Il. This Is the eleventh birthday year
or the scouts. The idea back of the
celebration is to bring more definitely
to the attention of each community the
value of scouting as program for
work with boys for the development
of character and training for citizar
ship.
AT the hour of 8:15 on February 8
every registered boy scout, no matter
where he may be, Is supposed to stand
at salute and commit himself anew
TO the scout oath and law. In most
cases the scouts gather for this cere-
mony in their troop meeting places.
The emphasis of this celebration Is
such as will impress the solidarity Of
the movement upon the entire men,
bership, as well as foster the feeling
of the individual responsibility of each
scout to the organization as whole.
Heretofore the scouts have stood
at salute when their watches an
nounced S:15, which, on account of the
difference in time between East and
West did not make the act simultane-
Gus. This year the effort was made
to have the salute at exactly the same
moment everywhere, corresponding to
8:15 eastern time the time Of the
clock In the national headquarters.
