such encouraging news this week
ABOUT girls VINO are anxious to join
and be with us. Some of them regret
that they can not do SO during the
summer, but will in the fall and a
rev are with us now
In the excitement of our baseball
have we forgotten about more serious
work? No, indeed.
This weeks meeting found us ready
for the tenderfoot test. Also work
on our badges vas almost completed.
Peanuts may have caused trouble for
some of our teachers but we girls are
proud to say we made $3.50. If our
supply had been greater we would
have made more.
On June 20 the first meeting of the
Sweet Pea Troop during vacation
a held. Every scout reached the
schoolhouse right on time although
there was some rain. At the meeting
we voted to buy a flag with the money
got from the peanuts.
Our captain, Miss Z. X. zap, is 60
ing away for the vacation and we are
trying to get a substitute.
Some of the girls were so anxious
to see what their crests would look
like that they finished the crests in
a short time. We plan to get our uni
forms during vacation.
After the meeting the girls played
baseball and this time the Makawao's
won by a score of 10 to Is in three
innings. AT the close of the game the
winning team had some yells and then
we had the closing exercises. Eight
home runs were made by the Maka-
wac team.

Vacation

Vacation time is here and it is Just
the time to pass tests. Do not let the
fact that there is no school or regu-
lar meetings of the troop give you the
ide that you should put aside your
test passing. You will now have a
chance to be in the open and can get
close to nature. Study up on your
trees and nature study. If you are
working, your nights and Sundays are
inst the time to use to good advan-
taee. A scout is thrifty, he wastes
nothing. Do not waste time.

WAR ON B0DTLEGGERs
Drastic Action. Planned--Liq u r
Runners To Be Turned Over
To IT. g. AGENTS

To U. s. Agents
The Dot of the bootlegger is to be
made little. more difficult, says the
Baltimore Sun, as the result Of a
conference held by Automobile Com
missioner Baughman, who directs
the new State police; Police Com
missioner Gather and Governor
Ritchie.
Commissioner Baughman is con-
cerned over the manner in which
bootleggers have been dashing about
the roads at night in powered
automobiles. He told the Governor
that they crowd other automobiles
off the roads and make gun plays
whenever anyone attempts to dis
pute the highway with them.
Under the ruling of Attorney Cen
eral Armstrong. the State police
have not interested themselves in
the fact that speeders they arrested
might be transporting liquor. In
such cases they take the, accused
man to the nearest magistrate on
charges of violating the speed laws.
There the offender would promptly
pay the fine imposed and disappear
with his load of bootleg whisky.
All this is to be changed. Whom
ever a man is arrested for the viola
tion of any State law, either in the
counties or in Baltimore, and Is
found to be transporting liquor, he
will first be charged with violating
the state law. Then the officer will
charge him with violating the Fed
eral law against transporting liquors
and direct that he be held for tie
Federal authorities. The officer will
also notify the nearest prohibition
officer Of the arrest.
