Boy Scouts of America.)

For the first time since the organi-
zation of. the Boy Scouts Of America
and the adoption of the Khaki uniform
which has become so popular with the
boys Of the country, the style of that
Official uniform has been changed.
The new style was adopted more than
year ago and the changed patterns
became standard January 1.
The uniform of the Boy Scouts of
America is protected by Section 125
OF the Army Reorganization Law.
This prohibits anyone from wearing
uniform similar to that worn by the
United States army, navy, or marine
corps, but excepts officers or enlisted
men of the National Guard, the Boy
Scouts of America, the naval militia,
or such other organizations as the
secretary of war may designate.
The new coat has unusually large
pockets. spacious enough, in fact, to
hold about everything any lad ever
wanted to get into his clothes, and
that Is saying a lot. 1t has a lapel
collar and Norfolk built-in belt,
with pleated back. The new shirt
has large pleated pockets and longer
skirts than the old. The words "BOy
Scouts of America" are now embroid-

Fruits and Vegetable Prices Failing.

Washington.-The mild winter mas
been to great extent responsible for
low returns to producers of fruits and
vegetables because of rot and the &C
cumulated cost of storage and extra
handling, the bureau of markets saio
in report here. Prices started low
and continued moving downward until
"disngreeably close to the vanishing
point" the report added. Late winter
finds the six months depression at its
lowest, it is said, and wholesale prices
have found new low levels. Dealers
hold perhaps one-sixth of the potato
stocks remaining and the farmers have
the rest, the report continued, and at
present the potato markets in producing
sections are close to decentralization
The situation generally is the same, the
report added, in the case of cabbage

ed considerable attention. The bride
had just passed her 18th summer
and weighed about 200 pounds. She
was six feet tall and she wore a

case was about SO inches tall and ap-
peared to weigh less .han 100. On

UNKNOWN SHIP
SIGHTED AT SEA
SURROUNDS VESSEL
VIOLATING MARITIME REGU-
LATIONS BY RUNNING WITH
OUT LICHTS-SEEN OFF HALL
FAX BY BRITISH SHIP

New York, June 12.-An unknown
ship, which was violating internation-
al maritime regulations by running
without proper lights and which re:
fused to respond to signals asking
her identity, was sighted last week
75O miles southeasterly from Halifax
by the British steamship Croxteth
Hall, which arrived yesterday from
Hail and Antwerp.
According to report made by Cap
tain Spence, of the Coxteth Hall, the
ship, apparently a small freighter,
was first observed ahead of him,
showing a stern light. The Coxteth
Hall caught up with the vessel, which
suddenly swerved in her course and
then came right at the British vessel.
The stranger passed astern, went a.
round and came up again on the op-
posite side. .
The red and green running lights
indicating the port and starboard
sides of the ship were not lighted,
Captairy Spence reported, and as
soon as the Croxteth Hall came up
the single stern light disappeared.
Repeated efforts to signal the strang-
er by fashlight code and by wireless
brought no answer. The vessel after
running with the Croxteth Hall a
short time, turned away and disap-
peared. ....
When the stranger was sighted the
weather was rough, but not so thick
that the vessel could not be seen clear
ly by the British captain. His first
thought was it might be one Of the
ice patrol ships, but failure to ans
wer signals and absence of regula-
ton lights disproved this theory.
Agents of the line, while admitting
they were puzzled at the unusual oc-
.currence, said they did not connect
it with recent unverified reports that
mystery ship with piratical intent
was operating off the Atlantic coast.
