Tor but, after all, I'd rather-rather

1"lSt things around a little and
youH get what happened to Miss Ter
ry de Guest with the difference that
that beautiful and hungry young wom-
an who had all but turned her back
on settlement work and her face to
the Great White Way, suddenly awoke
not In the moonlit embrace of Clair
monte, but before the accusing face
OF a House in Henry street.
Nor was Mr.. Slim Hervey partial
to sex In salvation. There was the
instance of young Bertram Blossome
who shame-facedly hurried infa his
cab a painted, wan-faeeo waif of the
street with se%lf-aecusing eyes. No
case this of hunted and hunter-rath-
er two strayed bits Of weak humanity
driven before the unleashed dogs of
poverty and lust. How readily and
unquestioningly the boy slipped from
the cab at his home address, miraeu-
lousy confused almost as by the med
ding finger Of God with one very
different! How gratefully the girl
took the possible fare and something
over" and how her tears brimmed
when ten minutes later the blue-eyed
chauffeur, a ~wage-earner like herself.
said: Nothing doing, Sister. The
ride is on me-" and promptly whlried

While all these incidents were en-
gaging, each In Its own way, and
showed a reasonable profit to all con-
cerned, Mr.. Randolph looked uposa
them more or less as a means of get

Initiation. Once he felt sure of him

ABOIH
SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council Of tbs
Boy Scouts OF America.)
DRIVE FOR RE- REGlsTRATI0N

The fact that a large number On
scout troops fail annually to re-reglster,
and consequently have to be stricken
from the national records Is causing
the national council so much concern
that they are e~ndeavoring 10 lnvesfi-
gate each case of a dead or lapsed
troop to see what ended Its dormant
condition and what, II anything, an
be done to revive 1t and put II In good
working order agalR.
In many cases the trouble has been
traced TO the lack of proper leadership,
Of laxness In handling troop business
on the part Of those In charge. This
Is, Of course. o serious injustice to the
boys themselves, who are usually o
only willing but anxious to 'carry on"
Scout leaders everywhere are being re-
minded that unless a troop Ia regularly
registered at the national council head
quarters II cannot be included In the
boy scout membership nor so reported
to congress. This means even more
to the boy according to act of con-
gress; No unregistered scout is enti-
tied to wear the scout uniform and in
sigma.
The chief scout executive has this
10 say on the subject:
1.-THE fundamental detectives OF
scouting are character development and
citizenship training. Good citizenship
vnnnYn lam nnd Nr1aw That As nnt
only knowledge OF laws, but observ-
ance OF laws, rules and regulations.
Surely every scout leader wants to
have members of his troop lawful and
orderly In the liarteaas of membership
In the Boy Scouts of Americas.
"Only scouts and scout officials who
are duly registered In accordance with
the regulations Of the Boy Scouts OF
America, adopted pursuant to federal
charter granted by congress. can law
fully represent themselves as scouts
authorized to wear the uniform and
official insignia.
Scouts whose membership Ia al
lowed to lapse violate the regulations
and therefore are not lawful and or
derby.
'"Thls is an important matter. Act
promptly
1t Is to be hoped that every person
interested In scouting will concern him
self with the question involved and see
TO 1t that no scout troop Is allowed To-
lapse for want Of adult leadership and
action In behalf of the boy and COM
munity who both need scouting.

Synopsis. - Robert Hervey RAN
dolph. young New York man-about-
town, leaves the home of his sweet
heart. Madgs Van Teller, cha
grined because Of her refusal of his
proposal of marriage. His income,
$4,000 a year which he must sur
render IL a certain Miss Imogen
Pamela Thornton (whom he has
seen only as a small girl ten years
before) is found, Is not considered
by the girl of his heart adequate
to modern needs. In a don't care"
mood Randolph enters a taxi, I'M
seen by the driver, and Is driven
10 the stage door of a theater. A
man he knows, Duke Beamer, in
duces q girl to enter the cab.
Beamer, attempting to follow, Is
pushed back by Randolph and the
cab moves on. His new acquaint-
ance tells Randolph she is a cho-
rus girl, and has lost her position.
She is In distress, even hungry, and
he takes her to his apartment.
There, after lunch, a chance re-
mark convinces him the girl is the
missing Pamela Thornton. He does
not tell her of her good fortune,
but secures her promise to stay In
the fiat until the morning and
leaves her. Realizing that the girls
temperance has left him practi-
cally penniless, he brides the taxi
driver to let him take his job, and
leaving word with the legal repre-
sentative of the Thornton estate
where he can find Pamela, takes up
his new duties under the name of
Slim Hervey."

day they heard Of the scouts and de-

scented themselves at Kennedy house
and demanded to know all about It.
The result was they Joined the boy

began to do all the interesting things
scouts do and to understand what
scouting stands for In health, happi-
ness and outdoor life, as well as for
c~omradeship and clean living. The
three are today good scouts, In every
sense of the word and are also known
