CHURCH HELPS TO
BOOST SCOUTING
Broadway Christian Church
and Sunday School Ass n.
Offers Prizes.

Tho Broadway Christian church has
taken the lead in the city In the way
of cooperation between the Boy
Scouts and the church in building
character in the boys. All churches
in the city cooperate with the Boy
Scout program but the Broadway
Christian church has quite unique
method Of interesting the Scouts in
the church and interesting the church
and Sunday School in the Troop OF
Scouts. The official board OF tho
church has offered a telegraph instru-
ment to the Scout of Troop is which
meets at the Broadway church who
wins tho most points in the Indoor
Scout contest to be held at the steel
The broadway Christian Sunday
school has offered three prizes, the first
a Scout Haversack and the second a
Scout mess kit and tho third, Scout
canteen to the Boy Scouts OF the troop
who make the best record in Sunday
school for the next period OF three
months. The record will be made up
OF attendance which counts 40 per
cent being on time, So per cent: bring
ing Bibles, 20 per cent, and offerings.
5 per cent. A. l.. Do Wore, superin-
tendent OF the Sunday School believes
that churches and Sunday schools
should make a big effort to assist the
Scout troops in their churches. Ho
explains that in some cases the church
in which a troop meets hardly knows
that there Is a troop OF Scouts in tho
church. while in other churches an ac-
two interest is taken in tho troop of
Scouts and AZ "A result much good
comes to both the church and the
Scouts.
Following tho lead OF the Broadway
Christian church, the County Sunday
School Association has offered three
prizes, the first, IS In cash: the sec
ond. 50 in cash, and tho third, 81 in
cash to the troop of Scouts in the city
who win the high honors at tho Scout
Field Meet to be neld during annivcr-
sary week, February To- The cash
prizes will go toward building up of
tho troop treasury OF tho troop. The
money in turn will be used to purchase
troop property such as flags and first
aid supplies or perhaps 1t will be used
for some good turn such as supplying
some needy family with food and
clothing.
A Scout is Revcrent and churches
and Sunday schools all over the coun-
try are rapidly realizing the very i'm
portant part that Scouting plays in the
boy life of the community. The prizes
offered by the Sunday school and
church and the County Sunday School
Association Will increase the interest
already manifested In the Annual In
door Scout Contest which promises to
he the biggest affair OF the year in
Scouting.

I Notice That----

A man should not neglect his neck.
1t is one Of the most important por-
tions of his body. 1t is that element
that joins his brain with his stomach
and gives dignity to the head. Some
men think they are dignified because
OF the way they hold their heads and
forget that it is the neck that gives
support to that dignity. II you'll
take a look at the various and sundry
men of Pueblo you'll notice many
sorts of necks but as for authorities
on necks, you want to talk with Pop
Kite or Jack Gray, popular neck shave
artists in Pueblo. Either ono Of them
can make the back Of most any sort
Of neck look decent and yet neither
one of them has seen the back of his
own neck.
However, this is off the e"h'e"t "a

rank and one OF these Scouts will be
the first Scout in the city Of Pueblo
to become Star Scout since the forma-
tion of the Scout Council in 1920. A
number of older boys have received
the coveted Star Scout rank, but these
Scouts who were members of Troop
3 are nearly all in college now and one
OF the Scouts mentioned will be the
first OF the younger group Of Scouts
to become Star Scout. This Is really
a high honor and the many other
Scouts who have number Of Merit
badges but not quite enough to become
Star, should increase speed and per-
haps they have a good opportunity to
become the first Star Scout.

There are lot of new neckties
walking up the streets since yesterday
morning but the funny thing about
them Is that they are around the
same old necks. It's good thing
that some people get neckties Tor
Christmas for otherwise their ordin-
airy necks would look worse than
ever. Some men don't know how to
properly decorate their necks anyway
and IL they didn't have some relatives
and friends who would remember
them at least once year. their neck
decorations would be sadly neglected.

Berlin Receives News.

Berlin, March 8. 3.-Banking circles
goday gave no indication of appre-
hension regarding the further pro-
gress of the reparations conference
in London, nor was there any appar-
ent uneasiness in the bourse. In both
quarters there was a prevalent feel
ing that Germany's counter propo-
sails were not fully understood by the
entente leaders upon their first pre-
Lsentation by DR.. Simons. Quotations
on the bourse were remarkably firm
in the face of food of alarming re-
ports from London and Paris, and
there was lively speculation in for
eign exchange, the demand for Am
erican dollars predominating. The
manner in which the German counter
proposals were formulated came in
for measure of criticism, notwith-
standing the fact that experts of the
foreign, financial and economic de-
partments had been engaged with the
cabinet for week or more before
the German reply Vas drafted.
The claim was advanced in bank
;ng circles that an unbiased perusal
of the German reply did not warrant
hasty adverse judgments, such as
were reported from London and
Paris.

ULTIMATUM SENT TO
GERMANY BY ALLIES
GIVEN UNTIL NOON MONDAY TO
ACCEPT PREPARATION TERMS.
N.COMPLIANCE MEANS
OCCUPATION OF MORE TERRI
TORY BY FORCE-WILL NOT
REDUCE PERIOD ALLOTTED FOR
PAYMENT OF INDEMNITlES

London, March 3.-Germany was
today given until Monday noon to ac-
cept the fundamental conditions laid
down by the supreme allied council at
Paris. The German delegates were in
formed by the allied representatives
today that if Germany does not ac-
cept those terms the allies will take
immediate steps. The first will be the
occupation by allied troops of the
cities Of 'Duiesburg and Dusseldorf
and the Ruhrdorf region of Germany
which contains important mines and
iron plants. A,
Second, each allied country will
place such a tax on German merchan-
disc as it may deem proper.
Third, a customs boundary along
he Rhine under allied control, will
be established.
The German delegation was infor-
med the allies would not reduce the
period of AZ years allotted for the
payment of the total amount of rep
arations by Germany.
Germany's counter proposals,
which We're submitted to the allies on
Tuesday, were not susceptible of ex-
animation, Premier Lloyd George
told DR.. Walter Simons, head of the
German delegation, in substance, af-
ter today's session Of the conference
had assembled at st. James Palace at
noon.
Mr.. Lloyd George said the attitude.
taken by the German empire regard
;ng reparations was, in addition,
grave violation of the obligations of
Germany toward the allies. He re-
minded the German representatives
that their government had not full
filled the treaty of Versailles relative
to coal deliveries, disarmament, the
payment of 2O,OO 100000 marks in
gold and the punishment of German
officers and soldiers accused of crimes
during the war.
Germany added the British prime
minister in refusing to accept the
concessions proposed by the allies
with regard to reparations had by the
same act renounced the advantages
granted her at the previous confer
ence wi1h the allies. Mr.. Lloyd George
then on behalf of the Allies announc-
ed the ultimatum.
After Mr.. Lloyd George had finish
ed DR.. Simons, for the Germans said
the intentions of the German govern
ment had been quite misunderstood.
The German delegation, he said,
would reply at noon on Monday.

ADMINISTRATION OF WOODROW
WILSON ABOUT TO CLOSE
ITS BOOKS
HARDING IS NOW
READY TO SERVE
Simple Inaugural Ceremonies Marx
Change in Government-New
Chief Executive Approves
Plans and Announces
That Davis Will Join
Cabinet

Washington, March 3-After eight
eventful years in authority the Dem
ccratic administration of Woodrow
Wilson closed up it's books today
and is awaiting the coming OF its
+, successor.
While the final balance was being
struck by the outgoing officials, War
rem G. Harding, Republican presi-
dert-elect, came to Washington, gave
his approval to the simple inaugural
ceremonies that will attend his in
duction into Office, completed formal
ly his cabinet and finished his part of
the inaugural preliminaries, by 60
ing to the White House for call of
courtesy on Mr.. Wilson.
For his part, the retiring president
provided perhaps the last Of the
long succession of sensations scat
tered through his eight years in Of
fee by announcing that when he
leaves the White House he will take
up the practice of law.
Meantime, in striking contrast to
the usual holiday turmoil of inaugu-
ration eve, the streets of the capital
reflected only in mild degree the
complete rearrangement about to be
made in the national government.
Flags and bunting were broken out
in recognition of the impeding event
and tonight the dome of the capitol
was illuminated for the first time
since the celebration of the armistice,
but, the small crowds which had
cheered Mr.. Harding in his move
ments about the city had almost en-
tirely deserted the streets by early
evening.
In accordance with the desire of
the president-elect the inaugural cere
monies will be the simplest of recent
years. Four troops of cavalry will es-
cort the president and president-elect
to the capitol, but no parade will be
permitted and there will be little of
the panoply of former inaugurals at
the taking of the oath on the east
portico.
The call of Mr.. Lansing at the
White House took place late in the
day after the president-elect had
conferred with Senator Knox and
several other leaders of his party in
and out of congress. Mr.. and Mrs.
Harding were received by Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson in the green room, and
after tea had been served remained
together for 20 minutes.
The special train which brought the
president-elect and his wife from
Marion, Ohio, reached Washington at
/ p. m. and was met by crowd of
several hundred people. Just before
his call at the White House, Mr..
Harding received the Washington
correspondents telling them he had
made the appointment not because ne
had any news to give but because he
wanted to begin his friendship with
them while he still was nothing more
than a member of their own profes-
sion. He assured them that they al
ways would be welcome at the exec
utive mansion and declared that all
he asked in his relationship with
them was an application of the gol-
den rule on both sides.
