RotarianS To Aid
Boy Scout Troops
Boys Work Committee Will Assist In
Securing Leader for Two
Full Troops

Members of the BOzeman Rotary
Club listened Tuesday at the noon
day luncheon to a most interesting
talk upon the boy scout subject,
given by S. E. Morse, instructor in
history at the Gallatin County High
School. Mr.. Morse is the first reg
istered boy scout in the United
States and is thoroughly acquainted
with all the workings of the organ
ization.
In speaking of the movement, Mr..
Morse outlined the principle upon
which the boys are trained. He spoke
of the development of the boy from
his early youth to manhood, explain
ing the effect of impressions re-
ceived by the boy throughout his
later years. The nation has devel
Oped in civilization in just that pro-
portion which their youths are de-
yeloped, Mr.. Morse stated. In the
early days Of youth the boy is saw
age and his play centers around the
raiding and destruction of the wild
man. The boy scout movement has
as it's object the diverting of the in
stinct to destroy into the channels
centering about the building and
helping to improve. By this method
boys are taught, while at play, the
useful and helpful forms of amuse-
ment, intoxicating within them the
higher thoughts, thus making better
men of them. He asserted there are
boys enough in Bozeman to develop
two strong scout troops.
Housing conditions in Bozeman
were discussed, after a report was
submitted by J. P. Fabrick of the
housing committee. He stated there
were not enough houses in Bozeman
to take care of the increasing popu-
lation. The only feasible remedy, he
stated, was through the building and
loan associations, where money might
be secured for building purposes.
P. G. Waite stated the building and
loan associations would open thei1
books for the purpose of selling in
yestment stock, in this manner Sc
curing more money to put into home
buildings. By this method there is &
possibility Of large number oi
houses being erected In the city nexf
year.
A check for $5 was started circu
lating among the members of tht
club by DR.. Judd, who suggested th,
novel method of showing the livel,
method m which money travels Thl
member receiving the check must usl
it to secure serviceable results, in

Advantage Of
BUMPERS SHOWN

There are few accessories on the
market that cause automobile US
ers more expense and trouble than
bumpers, owing TO the difficulty Of
mounting or attaching Them. In
the usual method Of mounting the
bumper It is clamped 10 the top Of
the frame-horn by a special casting
which comes with the bumper. 1t
is a common experience, however,
for the clamps to become so loose
that II case Of a collision the bum
per would slip out OF place md
be OF very little protection.
other types OF mounting require
tho drilling OF holes in the frame
horn, but many instances have oc-
CURED where the drilling Of the
holes has weakened the frame to
such an extent that a collision
would cause disastrous results ow
ing to the breaking Of the frame
horns. Certain mountings have
been patented and used as regular
equipment by automobile compan-
les. These are excellent but can
not be used universally owing TO
the patents.
The public demand for the use
Of windshields and tops as stand
ard equipment finally induced the
automobile manufacturers to pro-
vide them as such. The extensive
application Of bumpers by automo-
bile owners as accessories and the
fact that these afford protection in
cities where the traffic is congest-
ed has influenced several manu-
Ifacturers 10 equip cars with bum.
ipers as standard equipment.
Manufacturers who do not do this
have recognized the advisability OF
designing their cars SO that bum
Ipers can be attached quickly and
easily at no great expense 70 the
Automobile owners. Another reason
for facilitating bumper attach
ment is the granting Of reduction
in collision insurance premiums
for cars equipped with bumpers.
The advantages of boiling the
bumper directly on TO the frame
horn. using holes drilled 10 some
standard by the automobile manu-
ldGLuI6 are lHAL Lul9 dROi1o liz
