SCOUTING m FRANCE.

Scouting is being used as a means
OF restoring the physical and mental
balance OF the boys and young men
of the devastated area in the depart
ment Of the Aisne.
Lorne W. Barclay, educational direc-
tor of the National Council Of Boy
Scouts Of America. is in France on
special leave OF absence from duty
In America in order that, as the Uni
ted States representative Of scouting
he may devote his whole time 10 the
direction Of scouting in France in con-
junction and cooperation with the
American Committee for Devastated
France,
Last year Mrs A Murray Dixie and
Miss Anne Morgan made an investiga-
ton as 20 the status and conditions
of boy life and found that not only
We're the boys undernOurished and I'M
dersized, bur that, as a result Of the
war strain. they were in a highly nerv-
Gus state. Coordination was lacking
to such a degree as to make efficient
development of young man power al
most impossible.
Various efforts we're made to coun-
teract this by regular physical exer-
cises, calisthenics. gymnastics and
games. with little result.
The mind of the boy was not dis
tracted from his surroundings. which
were all reminiscent. of war, for long
enough period to obtain any lasting
benefit
In desperation. Miss Morgan APP
pealed TO the Boy Scouts Of America.
As result, NIr. Barclay went over
last summer TO conduct an expert
mental camp. This was so successful
that plans were Immediately made to
open several camps in the summer of
1921, if finances could be secured.
Boy scouts throughout the country
were asked to contribute S25, the cost
of two weeks camp trip for one
French boy. This purchases his equip
ment and uniform, transports him to
camp and home again. Far more i'm
portant, it fits him to organize scout
ing in his own community, and gives
him an even finer conception of pa
trfotism and courage.
Boys are assigned as special guests
of the troop or individual who finance
them, pictures are exchanged and let
tiers whitehall this paving the way
TO stronger international friendship
and understanding.
The secretary of the American Com
mite for Devastated France reports
S3037, received up to date. 1t is hoped
that by October the first sufficient
monies will be in hand TO defray all
the expenses of the two camps, one at
La Croix st. Ouen, near Compeigne
and one at Corey.
The mayor of Compeigne made a
special call recently upon the officers
of the boy scouts and the American
Committee for Devastated France to
express in person the thanks of his
people: 1T is the best the most desir-
able, in fact, its is an effort unique,
accomplishing for France, that fine
ness of physique, that strength of
young manhood which she so surely
needs and which is so impossible for
her to evolve for herself at the pres
ent time. In her name have the hon
or to thank the members of .the Co
mite. American des Regions Devastees

CALL. ATTENTION TO SCOUT
HERO.

The story has more than once been
told of that gallant Oakland @al)
boy scout, Allen Daffett, who gave his
life to save his younger brothers last
spring and died saying: IL could do
nothing else. l am a boy scout" An
interesting sequel to this splendid lit
tie story of herofsm is the fact that
the Oakland lodge of Elks. who are
tremendously interested in scouting,
wrote to their brother" Warren G.
Harding, calling his attention to the
lads noble sacrifice and true scout
spirit. The President at once replied
thanking the writer's for calling his
attention to the incident and asking
them to convey both his sympathy
and, congratulations TO the bereaved
parents.
Just scout! But his loyal readi-
ness to live up to his scout law and
oath to save life even at the cost of
his own has won him place among
the heroes of the world.

boy scouts are not trained particu-

trained primarily and effectively TO be
good citizens. and that is what we

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, Aug. IA
The police received word to-day that
Mrs. George Bouton, who has been
missing from her home at IA South
Fourteenth Avenue since August 8, was
arrested to-day in Stamford Conn, on
charge Of forgery, and had agreed to
accompany Police Lieutenant Michael
Silversteip back to Mount Vernon,
waving extradition.
On the day Mrs. Bouton disappeared
she took the infant son of neighbor
to picture show in Mount Vernon,
and later sent the child home in the
custody of small colored boy. Mrs.
Bouton was not heard of after that un-
til to-day, and it was believed she had
gone over Niagara Falls, as the body OF
woman who was dressed like Mrs.
Bouton when she left home was found
recently below the falls.
Lieutenant Silverstein said that he
traced Mrs. Bouton to Stamford
through letter she wrote to q Mount
Vernon resident. Mrs. Bouton is al
legged to have signed the names of some
of her women neighbors to four checks
totalling about $50. One of these is
said to have been government check

S''T'imely Service" Girl
Arrested as Vagrant
Prisoner Says Fifty Solicitors
Average $40 a Week i'm
Commissions

Belle Barron, twenty years old, Of
327 Houston Street, canvasser for the
Timely Service Society, 1872 Nassau
Street, two of whose young women can
yassers are now awaiting hearing in
local courts, spent Saturday night in
the Rockaway Beach police station af-
ter she had solicited funds from Pa
trolman Fordham. The patrolman ar
rested her on technical charge of
vagrancy. When arraigned before
Magistrate Conway in the Jamaica Po-
lice Court Miss Barron was unable to
give $500 bail and was remanded to
Jail for appearance this morning.
Miss Barron told Magistrate Conway
she had supported her mother, who is
widow. She was sewing buttons on
clothing at S12 a week, she said, when
she was attracted by an advertisement
offering good wages to girls, and Wis
tied the Offices Of the Timely Service
Society in Nassau Street. There she
was engaged to solicit funds at So a
day. Miss Barron said fifty girls were
employed as solicitors, and that they
averaged $40 a week in commissions.
She had preferred to accept salary,
she said.
The young prisoner said she had
begged the police to communicate with
her mother, but did not believe the lat
ter had been notified, as she was sure
she would not have been allowed to 90
to Jail had her mother been aware of
her plight.

Europe Still Fails
To Emerge From
Financial Gloom
Reports to Department of
Commerce Show Slump
in Trade, With Production
Only Fraction of Normal

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Continued
financial depression in Europe is re-
ported in data submitted to the De-
partment of Commerce by its agents
abroad, it was announced to-day. Com
mercial attaches in Spain, Italy, Bel
GUM, Czecho-S -Slovaka and Austria
unite in the view that times are none
too good.
From Germany the information
comes that little improvement in eco
nomic conditions is noted for the last
capped in that government compensa
tion to shipping companies is made
quate. In Austria there was a rapid
decline in the exchange rate Of the
crown during the month as a result
of increasing imitation and little hope
is now entertained for financial as
sistance under the plan proposed by
the League of Nations. The financial
situation is steadily growing worse.
Many of the postal and customs rates
have been increased heavily
During July imports and exports de-
clined. At present the market is gen.
orally overstocked with the comm obi
ties which enter into the export trade.
The declared exports to America dur
ing July amounted to $173,307.
In Belgium great increase is shown
in the imports and the exports during
the first half of the present year, as
compared with the first six months of
1920. There has. however, been de-
crease in the value of both, which, of
course, can be accounted for by de-
clining prices.
The general economic crisis still ex-
lists. With the exception of finished
iron, production is decreasing in the
iron and steel industries. In the zinc,
window glass and bottle industries
the situation is much worse than here
tofore. Production of plate glass is
about 45 per cent of normal. The sup
ply of coal on hand is being reduced.
Both the imports and exports of
Czecho-Slovakia are decreasing. Stocks
OF import and export merchandise are
much larger now than at this season
last year.

Four Bandits Rob Drug Store

Four men armed with revolvers held
up Alexander Krakower, proprietor OF
block from the East Fifty-frst Street
police station, last night and robbed
him of S104 and his gold watch. They
escaped in a taxicab.
Krakower was alone in the store
when the men entered They spent
nearly ten minutes apparently study
ing the telephone directory and then
walked to the rearof the store, where
Krakower was standing. They forced
him into the prescription room and
bound and gagged him.
A description of the robbers was
given by Krakower to the police of the
East Fifty-first Street station.

Western Grain Men
Open Fight To-day
On Freight Rates
ssDirt Farmers Join With
Exchange Members and
Bankers in Hearing at
Washington Before I.C.C.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.--Grain men
from virtually every state west Of the
Mississippi River are here prepared to
begin presentation of testimony to-
morrow before the Interstate Com
merce Commission intended to show
cause for reductions in freight rates
on grain products and hay. The hear
irgs are expected to continue five days
dirt farmers" have joined with
grain exchanges. boards of trade and
bankers of the West in urging reduc-
tions. Sunburned raisers of hay will
go on the witness stand with agricul-
prove that grain and hay production
will decrease if relief is not given.
Among the witnesses called to tes-
tify as to economic conditions is Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace.
Four days probably will be required
for the proponents of reduced rates tc
complete their testimony. The car
riers, in rebuttal. are expected to CON
tend that present low returns from
railroad operation will not permit the
reductions asked.
The grain rate case grew out of O
complaint filed July / by delegation
from Kansas, headed by Clyde NJ. Reed
chairman Of the Kansas Public Utili-
ties Commission, declaring that "pres-
ent Interstate rates on grain and HAY
are prohibitory," and that "after paw
ing producing costs and freight rates
very little. il any, return accrues to
the grain and hay producer"
"This condition, if prolonged, would
lead to bankruptcy of the grain and
hay producers of the West" Mr.. Reed
continued. Banks at the present time
are finding it difficult to collect loans
on farms, and farm products and grain
ana nay Shippers are being forced on
sacrifcial price to obtain funds TO
liquidate their debts"

Child Bitten ard Hurled
On Beach by Two Dogs
Girl of S Left in Their Path as
Crowds at Ccney Island
Scatter in Panic

Two big mongrels with slavering
jaws went racing along the beach at
the foot of West Twenty ninth Street,
Coney Island, yesterday, snarlings and
swapping at those they encountered.
There was a general scramble to
avoid the dogs, in which fve-year-old
Florence Sanders, whose mother was in
swimming, was abandoned directly in
their path. They leaped upon her and
bore her to the sand, each pausing to
snap at her.
Several men rushed forward at sight
of the child's peril, but were not quick
enough to save her. and succeeded only
in soaring away the dogs, which scuttled
beneath a bathing pavilion and were
not seen again in the vicinity.
Florence was bitten on the neck and
right thigh and was taken to Coney
Island Hospital She will take the
Pasteur treatment. She is the daughter
of DR.. Abraham S. Sanders, of 1872 West

Youth Rescues Girl
In 3 Feet of Water
Neither Knew Depth When Boat
Upset in Park, So Rescue
Is Credited

Mary Costin, nineteen years old, of
298 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, who is
more than five feet tall, was rescued
from drowning in three feet of water
yesterday afternoon by Max Schwartz
twenty-one years old, of 34S Ellery
Street, Brooklyn, who also is more
than five feet tall
1t is probable, according to specta-
tors, that the rescue would have been
effected much sooner had Schwartz or
Miss Costin been able to take sound
ings before they hao swallowed sew
eral quarts of water of the Prospect
Park Lake, where they fell in. Miss
Costin may not know until she reads
the newspapers how shallow the water
really was.
Schwartz and Miss Costin were out
rowing. Miss Costin said she would
like to take pull at the oars and
Schwartz and she attempted to change
seats. The boat capsized.
Schwartz struck out bravely and at
tempted to get hold of Miss Costin,
who was floundering. Both thought
the lake must be very deep. Suddenly
Schwartz's foot hit bottom and he had
the presence of mind to stand up. He
seized Miss Costin in his arms and
walked ashore. She was hyste rical.
Both were treated for what the am
bulance surgeon called "submersion''
and went home.

Four Bullets Miss Her;
She Accuses Husband
Woman Says She Refused Rec
onciliation, Whcrcupon Man,
Who Is Caught. Fired

Detectives Hcnninger and Kaufman,
Of the Wilson Avenue police station,
heard shots fired yesterday in 1912
Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, and saw
Michael Buscem. of 81 Jefferson
Street, Brooklyn, run out Of the house.
They pursued and arrested him, and
then went back to investigate.
They found Mrs. Buscemi uncoasci-
GUS on the floor of her brothers apart
ment. The room was filled with
powder smoke and the furniture upset
and bullct-scarred.
When the young woman had been
revived she said that her husband,
from whom she had been separated for
several months, had called to demand
that she return to him. When she re-
fused, she said, he seized her by the
throat, flung her into corner and be-
gan shooting st her with a revolver.
He shot four times, she said missing
her every time, and then she tainted.
An ambulance surgeon treated her for
hysteria, and Buscemi was locked up at
the Wilson Avenue police station,
charged with felonious assault.
