Mr.. HARDING ENDORSES SCOUTS

President-elect Warren G. Harding
In a letter addressed to Lieut.. Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, member Of the
executive board of the Boy Scouts Of
America, gives his enthusiastic en-
dorsement of the boy scout movement
and expresses the wish that every boy
in America might be In the organiza-
ton. This is Mr.. Harding's letter:
81 am with the scout movement
heart and soul. It is an organization
teaching Of spirit of service and honor
which we must always have in our
citizenship. 1t is a school or our
democracy because in 1t standing is
won only by taking. the equal oppoT-
tunity given all individuals to show
their own merit, capacity and worth.
wish every boy in our America could
have the advantage and the honor OF
being in the boy scout organization
and of learning therein that co-opeFs-
ton, justice, the customs of fair play
and the gentleness Of good manner,
make for peace and growth as distin-
guished from the results of disorgan1-
cation and selfishness and cowardice
which lead to contentious and con-
f1ict.'
When Mr. Harding enters the White
House he will automatically become
honorary president Of the Boy Scouts
of America, as has each president
since the organization. Retiring pres
idents become honorary vice pres1-
dents of the boy scouts. In addition
to being an honorary vice president,
President Roosevelt was chief scout
citizen at the time Of his death.

ed for days previous to the ceremony,
that they might be in a pleasing con-
dition upon their last and the war
gods first great day. In other cere-
monies human beings were killed and
f1ayed, and the participants in the sac
ritice enveloped themselves in the
bloody skins of the victims, while they
took part in a frenzied dance.
Across the Pacific ocean, the Anus
of Japan, are celebrating an exceed
ingly curious New Years custom. For
thousand known years the Anus
have stood still in their civilization,
following all their primitive customs
and ceremonies generation after gen.
Grafton and century after century,
practically without change. New Year
with them is the day Of their great
est feasting and merry making, con-
sisting largely of an extravagant use
of saki, or rice beer.
The principal ceremony is the great
bear feast, called Omsia, In which a
huge bear is slain and sacrificed as
a special offering to the god Kamui,
who is the guardian and protector of
their homes throughout the year. 1t
is necessary to- conciliate this god by
the special donation of bears meat
that their lives may be free from the
persecution of the unseen, intangible
spirit demons who seek to do them
harm.
1t is said that the bear for this
feast is raised from a cub, sucked by
an Ainu woman. AS the end of the
year draws nigh they fatten the feast
bear for the coming celebration with
carefully prepared foods. The kill
ing of the bear is done in a curious
way. Two fair-sized logs are dashed,
one above another, to standing tree,
and extend horizontally resting upon
the ground. The entire clan takes
part in the killing, which is accomplish
ed by putting the head of the animal
between the logs and squeezing out
its life

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney OF bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to DIR.

the screen takes little sacred meal

The Aztecs of Mexico and Central
America had bloody and complicated
ritual for their celebration of the re-
turn of their masterful war-god, the
sun. We find scattered through the
tangled jungles of Yucatan many huge
ruins of the wonderful pyramid cere-
monial edifices upon which horrible
sacriticial atrocities were practiced in
heralding the New Year. The Aztec
has vanished from the face of the
earth. The jungle has swallowed up
the sun-god's affairs.
The ceremonies occupied a period of
several days. The initiatory rites be-
gan before daylight of the first morn
ing, when the chief high priest and his
sub-dignitaries wendell their way in
solemn procession to the top of their
pyramidal sanctuary. Here the high
priest retired alone to a small temple,
whose doorway opened toward the
east, and as the rising sun crimsoned
the sky he knelt and sprinkled thickly
upon the marble floor the sacred meal.
AS the first rays of the sun strike
Slantingly across the floor of the tiny
temple, the Bonded priest beholds a

festation the high priest announces to
the assembled couriers that their god
had returned to them, and that the
grand festive occasion is inaugurated

BOY

Boy Scouts of America-)
VETERAN SCOUTS ORGANIZING

Countrywide interest is being
aroused in the effort to register all
boy scouts and scout workers., eligible
for membership, in the Veteran Scout
association. This is a new develop
ment which promises to be of great
significance in scouting. Membership
in this association is open to all first
class scouts and to all scout officials
of a total Of five years service. Here
tofore the organization of this associ-
alton has been rather loose, but Of
late there has been a movement, which
is now rapidly spreading, to organize
the veteran scouts of each city into
corps. It is estimated that nearly
$4,000 men and older boys are eligible.
The Veteran Scout Corps of Phil
adelphia is now, perhaps, the most
fully developed Of any. Horace P.
Kern, assistant scout executive, de-
scribes it in part as follows:
'The local members Of the Veteran
Scout association have organized
themselves into a corps which holds
regular sessions twice year. At
each Of these sessions some entertain
ment feature Is provided, or program
of Renaissance besides these regular
sessions. An interesting feature Of
the organization Of the corps Is the
class plan by which are listed in the
same group all who became veterans
the same year; for instance, we have
the classes of 1915, 1915, etc. Each
one Of these classes Is organized VITA
q chairman, and has agreed to under
take some service to scouting In gen.
eral. The corps, as whole, has Of
fered its service to aid new scout
masters or to act temporarily for
scoutmasters who may be called away
from their troops"
Many other councils have organ
lied, or are planning to do so along
these lines. This gives a national plan
for organizing which will retain the ia
terest of the older boys. This is
something the need for which has
long been felt and which promises
to do much to strengthen the effective
ness of scouting. Plans are now being
considered for the Standardization OF
the local veteran scout corps, and for
their definite registration at the ns-
tionai scout Office.

MORE MODEST SCOUT HEROES.

The newspapers in and around New
York printed articles recently about
modest hero" who after saving
George Marduley Of Rutherford, n. ~
from drowning in the surf near Long
Beach, L. l., disappeared in the crowd.
Some days afterward it was learned
that the modest hero" really was two
modest heroes and both of them Boy
Scouts, E. Bracken and J. Sarentino
of Rockville Center, L. l., who had
been on a hike to Long Beach the
Sunday the accident occurred. After
rescuing the drowning man they in
tended to use the scout first aid meth
DDS to revive him, but physician ap-
peared on the scene Immediately and,
feeling that he could do all that was
necessary, they just left without both
ering the officers with their names.

was younger and its people were closer
to nature it was a day of significance
we'll worth celebrating.
Among primitive peoples the year
is marked off in seasons, usually the
planting, the growing, the harvesting
and the season of rest, or it even may
be by moons and suns. But let the
division be what it will, it is based on
those marked physical changes which
appeal to the senses as light and dark
ness, heat and cold, the lengthening
and shortening of the day.
. Think how deeply must the short
ening of the days, as fall comes on
apace, affect the Imagination of the
primitive. The sun, their all power
full deity who gives them warmth and
growth, and life, wanes and grows
sluggish and sick until daylight be-
comes so short that the terror-stricken
primitive hearts pray and plead and
invoke the malign and baneful gods
to remove their pernicious influence
from their dearly beloved sun-god.
How great is the joy and feasting on
the first day, the New Year, when he
starts slowly back to them, to gain day
by day a greater vigor and beauty, I'M
til in June he reaches the elimination
of his power.
So it is seen that the shortest day
in the year, December q, in our cal
endar, is quite properly the last day
in the year. And it is equally fitting
that the succeeding day, when the sun
commences his return march, should
be hailed by glad and happy hearts.
The Moqui Indians, the communal
pueblo people of the American South
west, watch the shortening days with
dread and celebrate with elaborate
ceremony the turning point in the
suns course. The Moqui New Years
celebration, called So-yal-u-na, is large
ly a presentation of a singular and
elaborate mythic drama, divided into
two parts, in which offerings are made
to effigies of the Great Plume Headed
Serpent, the enemy of the sun, fol-
lowed by a sun dance in which the
conflict between the sun and the in
ferior hostile gods. is admirably por-.
trayed by Moqui men personifying the
various deities.
1t is hoped that the suns worst en-
emy-the snake demon-will be amply
placated so rich will be the tribute
that for one entire year the sun shall
be free from his prosecutions, and
the clouds which the snake Wickedly
swallows, shall gather and their moist
ure freely descend upon the parched
and blighted land until it is once more
clothed in verdure.
In dimly-lighted underground room
there is erected, at its west end,
screen profusely decorated with corn
husks, cut cleverly in imitation of
flowers. Near the middle of the
screen there is an opening and behind
it stands a man who manipulates the
effigy snake. By his side stands a
companion who has a large cOnch
shell. In front of the screen sit three
or four solemn priests and the audi
ence, consisting of members Of all the
clans and their families, and behind
them is a row of men who act as
chorus.
When the rites begin the chorus
commences to sing, at first a low.

piercing intensity. Then the man be-
