SCOUTS LOCATE STOLEN CAR.

The new plan whereby police re-
ports are sept broadcast by wireless
every evening had an immediate, in
teresting and worthwhile result. On
a certain evening a large amount Of
police data and reports were relayed
to the high power radio station of the
American Radio and Research cor
poration in Medford, Mass, and
hurled through the air in a 1OO-mile
radius for the information of some
5000 amateur operators. Among the
items reported were the number,
make, engine, ETC., of a car which
had been stolen from Harvard square,
Cambridge, the day before. Among
the listeners in" was a boy scout
named Barney, who wrote down the
details of the theft, for practice in re-
ceiving. The next day. walking along
the street in his home town, the lad
noticed car standing deserted by the
roadside which was Of the make of
the stolen roadster. He made a quick,
mental note Of the number and ran
home to compare 1t with his radio
notes. The two tailed and he at
once telephoned the police and the
,ar was restored to its owner.

INTERESTING PLACES.

| q METROPOLITAN newspaper re-
4 Gently featured the photographs
seen in trip around the world.
1hey were as follows: The Great
wal OF China, group of figures out
side Buddhist temple to brighten
away evil spirits. the housebcats on
the canal at Canton, China, the an
Gent instruments in the astronomical
observatory at Picking, the bank of
the Nile near Cairo, where according
to local tradition. the daughter of
Pharaoh found the infant Moses in the
! bulbrushes.
The interests of this traveller We're
apparently confined largel- to the
Orient or else he traversed the most
of his journey with his eyes shut, a
fault common to a good many trav-
elers.
What are the five most interesting
examples of the handiwork of man to
be seen in trip around the world?
What are the five things most worth
seeing and remembering?
What would interest one would not,
perhaps, interest another, and the list
which is given below may not appeal
TO you even though it be an opinion
compiled from the experiences of a
dozen or more world travellers who
discussed the interesting question.
Here are the things which were in
general agreed upon as the five things
f11Oct u-nrth caafpn.
The Tai Mahal at Agra in East In
dia This is undoubtedly the most
wonderful example of architecture in
the world. 1t was built by Shah Jehan
to his favorite sultana, Moomtaz-i-
Mahul, and the romance of its build
ing, if you will take trouble to look it
up in the library, you will find ex-
traordinarily interesting.
The Vatican at Rome. No building
in the world houses so many unre-
placeable treasures as the Vatican. Its
art riches, it's wealth of literary treas
ures exceed in interest and in value
any other single collection ever made
The Mount Wilson observatory,
near Los Angeles, Cal. 1t is in this OBJ
servatory that is housed the 100-inch |
Hooker telescope with pierces |
further into the unknown of space !
than any other instrument that hui
man hands have devised. One mo- +
ments look through that magnificent /
instrument would show you a new
universe which before it was built .
had never been seen. It is one of the I
wonder spots of the world.
Shakespeares home at Stratford. 1t
was here that the master of all writer's
retired after he had finished the great
est contribution to literature ever
written in any language or by any
man. 1t is an inspiration to stand
where he had once stood, to see some
Of the material things that were once
his companions.
The Panama canal. Undoubtedly
he greatest example of mans engi-
leering genius since the world began.

SCOUTING A WORTHWHILE JOB

B. K. Willow Of Philadelphia, ten
year scout man. says:
ut has been a great pleasure to be
associated In scout work through
these past ten years. Whatever it may
have meant to the boys 1t has meant
2 great deal to rue. The seven years
when 1 was actively engaged with the
different groups Of boys as scoutmas-
ter have brought a great deal Of pleas
ure to me- II every man could come
IN contact with boys thus intimately
he would find 1t helpful in many ways
even though it takes time and means
the sacrifice of things men hold dear.
after the experience of these ten
years in connection with work for
boys I am convinced that there Is no
better program for character building
than the scout program and I hope
that may have hand in it for years
to come"

LYRICS OF LIFE
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
A PLACE TO Tie.

/
I'VE noticed afloat and a-tramping,
l. I've seen it on river and land,
The thing that the most
You need is a post
To tie to when night is at hand,
Some sort of an anchor to hold you,
Some hawser that never will fail,
Some place you can tie
Till the storm has gone by.
To help you to ride out the gale.
So many go foolishly drifting
While rapids are roaring below,
AflOat on the tide
Without compass or guide.
Till down to disaster they go;
The need of US all is an anchor,
A painter to tie TO the shore,
Some place TO make fast
Till the tempest is past
And the waters are rolling no more
So many afloat on the river,
The turbulent river of life,
Have only their own
Poor resistance alone
To conquer the trouble and strife
A fellow needs something to tie to,
His trail Ger he sea or the sod,
Some friend that is true
Who will carry him through
A woman, pal, or God.

BOY
SCOUTS
& ~
Conducted by National Council Of the Boy
Scouts OF America-)
WHY | AM A SCOUT

The following statement, written by
boy scout, appeared in a Chicago
newspaper in connection with cam
paign for scout funds:
II am boy scout because 1 believe
In the doctrine Of the Boy Scouts Of
America-America first I believe In
the service to others which the boy
scouts have made the premier issue,
and I believe that the future OF this
government, If not of the world, rests
In the hands Of the boy scouts Of to-
day.
But what have the boy scouts done
and why should they be helped? Dur
Ing the war they were ready to an
swer the summons of their country at
any time. Being too young to shoulder
a gun, they set to work at home to
raise money for the Red Cross, to sell
Liberty bonds and war savings stamps,
only In the last few days of the cam
touched before. They were ready to
respond to their country In giving first
aid, carrying messages, or doing any
thing they were called upon to do. For
this they received only a word Of
qualification from their government,
but they were not after praise.
"The boy scout is trained to rescue
a person in danger, and to apply first
aid to his wounds until the doctor
comes. The doctrine of service is ever
prominent, for the good turn daily is
put into practice all over A scout
can be trusted and will never break
his word or commit theft. A scout
Is loyal and obedient to the right, kind
to dumb animals, Of service to man,
friendly toward others and chesrful
In his actions. He has to pass certain
tests which give him a greater knowl-
edge and a broader view.
you are now being asked to con-
tribute some money to the boy scouts
In order that they may continue their
good work. What is your return? A
safe government for your children,
based on the principles of love, I'M
selfshness and common sense. There
need be no fear for the future Of
America If placed In the hands of the
boy scouts"

THE TRAINED NURSE.

NURSING is going to be a greater
~ opportunity for the right woman
than ever before in the history of
medicine.
There is going to be better regula-
! ton of working hours and an advance
in salary. For the demand is exceeding
the suppe and inducements to take
up the profession must necessarily
grow more attractive.
If you want to be nurse it is your
duty to take the training, for you are
.ii,..ed. and your work waits for you.
In some of our states there are no
laws making the registration of nurses
compulsory. Because of this, I'M
trained or partly trained women COM
pete with the trained nurse for private
work. Laws must be passed that will
alter these things for the better The
Red Cross is hoping to demonstrate
the need of the properly trained nurse
so strongly that every community will
be led TO demand proper registration
law and certain degree of training
for its nurses.
In choosing your training school. be
sure that you select a first-class hos
pital You will get infinitely better
treatment and your diploma will count
for far more.
Nursing is hard work. but for the 1
woman with vocation it is work that
she loves. A graduate nurse is a val
liable member of the community. Her
standing is secure, and she can be
sure of a good income. In her pro
'essional life she is thrown with men
ind women Of high caliber. If you
nave any leaning that way, it is worth
much effort 10 get started.

Removinn Ink Sam

Pyrophosphate of soda is recommen-
led for the removal of ink stains. Tbs
salt does not injure vegetable fiber and
yields coIorless compounds with the
ferric oxide of the ink. 1t is best TO
first apply tallow TO the Ink spot, then
wash in solution Of pyrophosphats
until both tallow and ink have disai-
peared. Another formula is TO use 4
mixture of four parts Of tartar and two
PARTS of powdered alum. This is naI

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"BLACkGUARD."

IN OLDEN days the palaces of
L kings and the palaces of no
bles were by no means as we'll
furnished and as clean as they
are at the present day, and 1t
was customary when members
of royalty or the nobility visited
each other that the guest should
bring with him all his kitchen
utensils, pots, pans and even a
certain amount of coal. The
scullions and lesser retainers
had charge of these goods. rode
among them, were smutted by
them and received the contemp-
tuOus appellation of the "black
guard" In time the word came
to be understood as meaning
any troop or company of raga-
mullins, and finally, when its
original application had been
buried In the lore of centuries,
it was applied to a single per
son as an epithet of opprobri-
um-as being synonymous with
a rogue or rascal who would
stop at nothing In order to gain
his ends.
1t was In the earlier sense,
however, that Dryden used the
term as a stage-direction in his
play Don Sebastian" Enter
the captain of the rabble with
his black guard at his heels"
and Fuller likewise spoke of the
devils black guard" in the Cru
sades as meaning the number
of thieves, debtors and runaway
slaves who Joined in the Holy
war.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
BYE. A. Walker


Ihere may have been greater difficult
ties to surmount in the building of
the pyramids but they are useless
things, not so wonderful now as
modern city .sllyscraper.
All five of these things are the ac.
compiishments of the brain of man.
Added to them the traveller around the
world would wish to see those other
and greater things that man has never
equaied: The falls at Niagara, the
Grand canyon, the mighty trees of
California, the great tides of Fundy.
the caverns at Luray, the mountain
Gus monuments of God in The Alps
and the Himilayas, the supreme
beauty of Lake Louise or the Bay of
Naples.
To the traveller there is given the
great privilege of seeing with his own
eyes but even # you cannot travel,
the beauties and the wonders Of the
world are not denied you. You can
see them through the eyes of others
who have seen them and have written
down in graphic and truthful language
the wonders that they found.
If you are Interested i'll any of the
five things of man enumerated above
you can find them all interestingly
written about in any good library, and
of the greater things in nature hun
dreds of books have been written on
each of them.

Special Despatch to THE New York HEzALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Sept. %.
Officials OF the United States Lines
and the members of the Shipping Board
agreed to-day to carry out the contract
made between the United States Mail
Steamship Company. whose boats the
United States Lines are now operating,
to turn the George Washington over
to Raymond & whitcomb for a pas
senger tour OF the Mediterranean and
the Levant next winter.
Raymont & Whitconb had chartered
the vessel for winter tour OF twenty
ports, beginning in February and end
Ing some time in March. covering abou.
six weeks. Inasmuch as they had gone
forward with arrangements and soid
half the accommodations. the board and
the trustees felt the contract should be
carraide out. particularly as the tour
would be q good advertisement for the
American merchant marine.
II was agreed that during the time
the George Washington is off her reyu-
lar route between New York and Cher
bourg the board would put in her place
one of the 535 foot passenger vessels.
