The eleventh annual meeting of the
national council, Boys Scouts of Amer
lea, took place at the Hotel Commo-
dore, New York city, recently, with
scout men to the number of 104 pres
eIt, from SO states, representing the
enormous volunteer leadership of the
country. These men come together
every year to review the work Of the
past II months and to make plans
for the future.
The spirit OF the whole meeting was
admirably expressed In the forcefu
phraseology of the Chief Scout Execu-
tive James Il. West. as follows
at must be ever borne in mind that
the basis Of strength and power of the
hoy scout movement will not be meas
ured alone by the number of scouts
and scout officials, the records of nc
tivlty of the rational council, or num-
Der of local councils organized; these
are but means TO an end. The value
Of the scout movement will be judged
by the individual boy scout--hls con

But there is something beyond that
We found that the men back of the
lines had to work hard, but a good
many of them broke down. We found
too many who were old at 40 and
fat at 80. Any time after that they
had to have a motor car If they
wanted to get anywhere. There is no
reason In the world why man or
woman at five ard forty should look
either like u ruin or public building.

Nature did not mean us to do that
and If we take proper care of our
selves we need not.
A certain gentleman was once asked
TO give n definition of a nation, and
he said, ut is Il body of people with
common laws, common customs, COM
mon language, art and literature" and
then he capped the climax by saying
"and enough self-consciousness to pre-
serve it," If you have not enough
self-consclousness as nation to keep
yourselves fit, when the Hun comes
he takes all your art and literature.
After all, II comes down pretty near

handled great many men on the
naval stations, and we had good
many professional strong men, men
with overdeveloped muscles. Well, as
founding as II may seem, those men
could not endure, could not stnnd ex-
posture, could not stand n lot of things
that the ordinary clerk out of an Office
who had very little athletics could
stand. And II is easy to see why.
Those muscles are attachments of
yours, and they have to be fed and
taken care of. When they are over
developed they are taken care of at
the expense of the vital organs.
If you are going to do Office work
you do not want great, bullying mus

So said Walter Camp to members
of congress In lecture by invitation
I'm the conference room of the house
building. Possibly he did not mean
exactly that his hearers did not do
enough work to earn their food. But,
In general, he did mean exactly what
he said. The lecture came about In
this way:
Representative John Q. Tllson of
Connecticut Is distinctly able-bodied.
He is Spanish-American war veteran
and went to the Mexican border as
colonel of the Second Connecticut in
fantry. SO he believes In keeping fit.
Walter Camp of New Haven, Corn,
Is clock manufactures, In private
life. He has, however, national rep
utatlon as n sport writer, football eX-
pert and athletic adviser. During the
war he was chairman Of the athletic
department of the navy commission
on training camp activities. Well, he
has evolved series of exercises
called the "Daily Dozen" The beauty
of them is that they are not strenuous
and anyone can do them. And Walter
Camp thinks they will keep any man,
who has no organic trouble, fit as a
fiddle.
So Representative Tilson got Wal
ter Camp and members of congress
together and Camp lectured to them
and showed them his "Daily Dozen"
And what's more, he put several men,
hers through the exercises. And Col.
Tilson got the lecture into the Con-

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Dr. Ben L.
Reitman, "king Of tramps," in an
interview today predicted that Post
master General Will Hays "shoot
to kill" mail bandit order will land
an army Of buns in the hoosegow
this winter. if, indeed, it does not

against the innate sensibilities Of the
average tramp to take what the
Doctor refers to as the "shoemak-
ers' dummy"
And IL he takes a chance and
flips a freight or rides a blind bag

DIR. Reitman's comment was evoked
by the action Of Washington
marine yesterday in shooting at
three hoboes on a mail train leaving
the Capital and in probably seriously
wounding one Of them.
Frankly, don't know what the
hobo will do now" Reitman said
gioomily. Mr.. Hays has created
a perplexing problem in the hobo
world. In America, tramping on
trains is traditional. 1t isn't done
in any other country, but IL has
been q custom here for so long I'm
afraid 1t will be no easy matter to
stop it.
Economic Products.
Thousands Of men - absolutely
harmless fellows-are bumming right
now. Most Of them are working
men looking for job, men with
seasonable occupations. They do hop
freights and ride mail trains. With
between 1000, 900 and 100000 men
out Of work in this country, there is
more bumming today than in years.
IT'S not right to shoot them down.
They're not bandits. Really. the
mail car bandit is rarety. OF
every 25, 900 men who ride on trains
without paying fare, approximately
one is a train bandit. The hoboes
look suspicious hanging around water
tanks ready to flip on. or even lay
ing under the mail bags, but they
are harmless. Many Of them are ex-
soldiers.
Mr.. Hays is well meaning, I
know, but he should instruct the
marines not to shoot unless there is
unmistakable evidence Of attack"
Outlook Discouraging.
DR.. Reitman, as vice president of
the Hobo College here, has for many
years taken a humanitarian interest
in the hobo. He says that never
has the outlook been much worse
for the hobo than 1t is today.
Men are flocking to the cities,
having finished up in the harvest
fields or In small town factories.
Chicago, with more than forty in
coming railroads, Is the mecca of
hosts OF unemployed laborers who
beat their way" in on railroads,
and a special unemployment COM
mittee is cooperating in a plan to
keep the migratory outsiders away
from the city.
There are 1900 hobo trespassers
in the workhouse here right now"
said Reitman significantly.
