Phillips Miller Champion
Boy Scout OF America

Phillips y. Miller, son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. John B. Miller, Of East Peters
burg, Pa, is tn echampiOn Boy
champion of America.
1t stands undisputed that the
youth is the champion of Lancaster
county and as far as can be deter
mined he is the youngest Eagle
Scout in the whole United States.
This latter claim is not made by
Scout Headquarters, but there Is lit
tie doubt that should the gallant f.
Petersburg Scout lay claim to the
National title, it would so undisputed
The following brief summary OF
his career was prepared by Scout
Executive John L. Sawyer:
In June. 1919, Phillips A. Miller,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John b. Miller,
of East Petersburg, became interest
ed in Scouting and Joined Troop No.
2 of St. Paul's Reformed Church,
Lancaster.
From the start he gave promise of
being leader.
When Camp Chiquetan opened
durin gthe summer of 1919, he at
tended and attained the rank OF FIRST
Glass Scout, which requires the pass
ing of difficult requirements. TlS
ambition was not diminished by the
honor of his new rank and he plung-
ed in to win the many merit badges
offered by the> National Court OF
Honor. First Class Scouts alone are
permitte dto try for merit badges.
In order 20 win badges Scouts
must have knowledge both theoretic-
al and practical in subjects so that
he can teach.
During the month of November
Phillips passed the first merit badge
examination in craftsmanship" Civ
en- by Chief Johnson, of the Lancas-
ter Fire Department. Later in the
same month he passed. Personal
Health" and Public Health" given
by DR.. Walter D. Blankenship. In
Deceber he passed ELECTRICITY and
Safety First" During April 1920,
he passed First Aid to Animals.
In the same month he assisted in
organizing Troop l, of East Peters
burg, and qualified for merit badges
in ..Handicraft,' Architecture, !"
Chemistry" and First Aid" Dur
ing May he passed examinations in
Machinery" Carpentry" Paint
ing" and Hardening" In June,
Poultry Kicking" "Pathtinding, "
Plumbing" and Cooking" July
Scholarship, Bird Study" and
Camping" August "Conserva~ion, .
"Civics," and pioneering. Sep
. TENDER, Forestry" Athletics, - and
| swimming"
Upo nqualifying for the many
merit badges he was ''knighted" a
Life And Star Scout. The badges
which carry with them this coveted
rank were conferred by the Nation
al Headquarters of the Boy Scouts
of America.
During October he qualified for.
Craftsmanship. Public school
work then occupied his time until
the fourth season at Camp Clique
tan. Here he qualified for Horse
manship' and Botany"
But all was not play for the young
genius. He wanted the Life Say
ing" badge. 1t required an entire
year of preparation, for this test.
Then came the eventful day and he
passed. This completed the Il
merit badge, all in the power OF the
scouts to confer. The 81 bardkes
are II more than necessary to be-
come an Eagle Scout.

Canned goods are going up in
price. The demand is unusually
heavy for this time of year, and
prices probably will continue to rise.
These are the predictions Of Harry T.
Strassbaugh of Aberdeen, Nd, presl-
dent of the National Gamers AS
ISOLATION.
Shortage of crops, lowering OF the
interest rate on loans and the aValla-
bility of funds to finance buying are
the chief cause of the rising market,
according to Mr.. Strassbaugh.
Maryland, which normally produc-
es 20 per cent. of the tomato pack OF
the country, says Mr.. Strassbaugh,
this year will produce not more than
five per cent. of the pack. He is In
formed that one large can manufac-
turing concern which usually ships
cans to about 40 Gamers on the
Pennsylvania railroad has shipped to
only one Gamer this year. The to-
mato pack will be not more than
half of normal this year, he declares.
Sold At Loss Recently.
six months ago." said Mr.. Strass-
baugh, Gamblers were selling their
goods at 80 to 40 per cent. less than
cost. They were doing this to raise
money to-pay the growers, pay their
cans bills and pay wages. The
money market was so tight and the
wholesale grocers had taken such
large losses in the sugar market that
few were able to buy canned goods.
Now that money is available and
the discount has been lowered, buy
ing has been stimulated. Even now
however, the Gamer is not making
money, but merely selling at cost,
Tomatoes which a few months ago
were selling around 70 to rs cents
now are bringing 81, or just enough
to pay the cost of production. Corn
is in much tn same position as to-
1natoes; the crops are short and the
prices which corn is bringing just
about clears lis without loss"

easily obtained by the use Of q ther-

Dough should be kept covered while
1t Is rising: otherwise crust will

Some housekeepers brush the dough
with melted fat, but this IL not neces-
sary IL the dough is well covered.
beginners often have dlfliculty In de-
termining when the dough Is ready to
be divided into loaves and put into
pans. A good rule il to measure its
volume. The dough for each loaf, II
made out Of hard-wheat -four, should
amount to three pints; II made from
soft flour. to about two and One-half
pints.
The levels to which these masses Of
dough will reach In the mixing bowl
can be determined In advance and
marked. II one loaf Of bread Is to be
made, before mixing, pour three plnts
Of water into the bowl and mark the
point to which the water comes. This
will indicate the height to which the
dough should rise.
When recipes direct that dough be
allowed to double or treble In vol
ume, 1t Is convenient to have q meas
urlng glass to determine the expan-
sion. An ordinary tumbler will do,
but 4 glass Of smaller diameter. like
jelly glass, is better. Before the

 The Chinese are born business men, natural peacekeepers, and

 They have known us considerate, honest and generous under cirum- stances of mutual interest.
 There is no region of the world where relief such as Americans are affording the starving people of that stricken country will be more greatly l appreciated than in China.

"DEBUTANTE SLOUGH" HAS GONE IN THE DISCARD

Nincsiologically speaking, the uew styles for women mean the death of the "debutante slough" This is the view, at least, of the department of hygiene at Wellesley college, the fashionable Massachusetts girls em. pOrium of knowledge, which follows the styles with a watchful eye for their effect on the bearing and gen. eral headth of Wellesley's 1900 stu dents.
 No one is more delighted at the passing of the styles responsible for the "debutante slouch" than Miss Mary S. Haagensen, instructor in remedial gymnastics at Wellesley. Strengthening out slouches and other bad habits of posture is her daily work, and the task has at times been difficult. It will be easier, thinks Miss Haagensen, with the new styles.
 The old styles, with their tight fitting and clinging lines" she says moulded most girls into a shape much like the figure 'S.' Everything about this posture, from a hygienic point of view, was bad. Today, with looser garments, introduced on the clothes, it will be a much easier wave of popularity for the sport thing for girl to stand up straight; letting the shoulders carry the bulk of lighter weights, and the hips carry their share of heavier weights"
 Miss Haggensen looks for more common sense in all of the styles for the future, due to the wider par ticipation of women in outdoor exer, else.

FIGHTING FAMINE IN CHINA

Under the leadership of Herbert Hoover the American people came to the relief of the starving children of Europe, and we are assured that the situation there is well in hand and those in charge of the work have ample funds with which to carry on until a new harvest is gathered And now the great heart of America has undertaken to stay the hand of fam inc in China, where, it is said, 1O,- 900 people are dying of starvation.
 It is said by those who have in vestigated the situation that 15,00O,- 900 people will die in China before June if Americans do nAt prevent it.. It is estimated that it will require $6O,OOO,OO0 to meet the situation, and the American people have set about raising the needed money
