Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
NEW BOY SCOUT UNIFORMS

For the first time since, the organi-
cation 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
a year ago and the changed patterns
became standard January 1.
The uniform Of the Boy Scouts Of
America is protected by Section 1875
of the Army Reorganization Law.
This prohibits anyone from wearing q
uniform similar to that worn bye the
United States army, navy, or marine
corps, but excerpts 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 lot. 1t has lapel
collar and a Norfolk built-in belt,
with pleated back. The new shirt
has large pleated pockets and longer
skirts than the old. The words boy

The art reached it's height in the

workers were more skilled in the art
than the English.

the Royal Society dflTasmana the pre-
Eliminary account fla nearly complete
Skeleton Of a gigantic extinct monster,

beds of Tasmania.
The animal was as large as the
largest existing rhinoceros. The new
discovery shows clearly that It was
rhinoceros-like animal. with skull
built for aggressive warfare, and at
least one powerful horn on the snout.
Evidence of the gigantic battles in
which this animal engaged is to be

EDEN ASBESTOS MINES
tarts Work Next May Under
New MANAGEMENT

H. W. Edmondson, for six years super
intendent of one of the largest asbesto
mines in Canada, has been secured by thu
Asbestos Corporation of America. to taxi
charge Of sheir new plant and mill at thu
mine near Eden. Mr.. Edmondson vii
assume his duties April 1.
In securing the services of this well
known and competent man the company
which boasts of being the only American
mine producing chrysotile asbestos, feel'
that it has added valuable member tt
the operating staff.
Everything is in readiness for the com
mencing of work on May first or there
abouts on the mountain top. Supplies
equipment, machinery and everything has
been transported to its proper place and
as soon as the snow is gone operations
will commence.
c. H. Thompson, manager OF the local
Office of the company, states that the
change in the demand Of the market for
short asbestos had greatly affected the op
portunities for development OF the business
Whereas. six years ago the demand was
almost entirely for the long fiber. little OF
which could be produced, it has now
changed almost SO per cent to short fiber,
and this mine in Eden is able TO supply in
large quantities.
On recent visit to q. research labora-
tory in New York he said he had been
told that six years ago there were about
IA products in use, and today there are
76O different uses for asbestos. This is
chiefly responsible for the large demand
for short fibered product.
The corporation Mr.. Thompson repre-
sents claims the distinction CT being the
only mine in the United States producing
chrysotile asbestos, and this leaves large
market to be supplied. The outlook for
the company is bright and with the re-
sumption of operations within a short
time it is expected that the company will
take its place among the leaders OF the
newer state industries.

Three Nations Will Evacuate Hold ings Under Provisions Made
 Public Wednesday.
TO EvAcUATE PORT ARTHUR
Move is Regarded as Greatest Victory Yet Scored for Chinese at
 Disarmament Conference
Special Correspondent)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. % Japan, Great Britain and France have agreed at today's secret session of the powers to give up "conditionally" the holdings they have in China as follows
 Japan to give up Kiao Chow.
 Great Britain to give up Wei Hai Wei.
 France to give up Kwang- Chou Wan.
 The condition upon which the three powers agreed to give up their hold ings in these places were set forth in statements submitted by the lead CTS of the three delegations. \
 The initiative was taken by M. Viv- iari of France. He announced that France is willing under conditions to give up Kwang-Chou Wan and his statement of the French position was said to have been the most complete of any of the powers
 Great Britain followed and her spokesman announced thot she was willing to give up Wei Hai Wei under conditions outlined.
 Then Japan followed by announcing that she was prepared to get out of Shantung provisionally but the japan ese made reservations where Manchur ia was concerned. The Japanese speak CT also said Japan was willing to dis. cuss the evacuation of Port Arthur, but that at the present moment Japan did not believe it was possible to ac- connlish this.
 The conditions under which the 3 powers agree to let go of their hold ings will be announced later in pub lie statement.
 Unless the concessions are hedged about with nulIifying conditions to- days development constitutes the greatest victory the Chinese have yet won.
 It is believed that Japan's agree ment to get out of Shantung is condi- tional upon her being allowed to re- tain joint control with the Chinese of the Shantung railways.
