SCOUT S
Conducted by National Council Of the Boy
Scouts Of America.)
KNOW YOUR CITY

The Birmingham (Ala.) Junior
Chamber of Commerce is doing great
deal to aid scouting by contest
known as II Know Birmingham" One
hundred questions have been suggested
by the different civic organizations
covering the historical, geographic,
population, climatic, Industrial, trans
portation, public utility, municipal,
educational, financial, real estate and
general phases of the city. The scouts
who successfully pass one of the ex-
aminations which Dire held each quar-
ter receives bronze bar, bearing the
words II Know Birmingham" And
as soon as the scout earns this bar,
his record In civic service is then kept
by his scoutmaster and when he has
rendered 100 hours of such service, a
small bronze civic service medal Is
suspended by chains from this bar I;
then when his record, as certified by
the scoutmaster, shows he has rem
dered 500 hours Of civic service, a
silver medal Is substituted for the
bronze; and then when his total
reaches 1000 hours, he will receive a
gold medal in place Of the silver.
This contest Is stimulating much in
terest, not only among the scouts but
among the citizens as well. In addi-
ton to this award, the 16 boys who
pass the highest grades during the year
are taken on truck trip over some
Of the old southern battlefields and
points of interest along the way. The
10 boys who take this trip will meet
10 men from the Junior Chamber of
Commerce on the night before they
leave. and hold meet along the lines
Of the old-fashloned spelling match
with these questions forming the basis
Of competition in place Of the spelling
Of words.

improved Lawn Mower.

A lawn mower that will successful
ly cut the grass on the incline of a
terrace and that will not require its
operator to pull it up and down, nor
,rup up and down the grass bank him
self, Is described in Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. In construction the
new device does not differ greatly
from the 'old-style lawn mower In
stead of the stationary handle, the
new machine has a pivoted handle
set on toothed quadrant. BY lifting
stop pin from between the teeth Of
the quadrant, and setting 1t to the
desired point the mower is brought
into an angular position relative to
the operator, so that he can cut a
lengthwise swath on the slope with
out leaving the ground level.

Only gold coins are worth their face

at the world rate of $20.67 an ounce.
Silver and other coins do not have

an over issue of paper currency, as
has generally occurred In European
countries, and by the demand for
American dollars In bills Of exchange

Officers of the body were elected as follows: Presi- dent, Mamie Feusi; vice president, John Martin; secretary, Vera Thur man; treasurer, Lawrence Carlson; i; usher, Roy Daniels; advisor, Mrs. John Richards.

 Inspired by Example
 Let us then be so inspired by their example that we, too, when the final summons comes, may an. swer it bravely and calmly, con fident that over wonder we shaii meet them Let us so demean our selves in accord with the lofty prin- ciples of our order that, when the mystic password Is whispered, we, too, may pass through the heavenly gates that bar our way and enter without misgiving into that great Eternal Lodge of which our brothers now are members"
