SCOUTS
Rn
Conducted by National Council OF the Boy
Scouts OF America-1
FIRST TO WIN GOLD MEDAL

Dale Collier of Rock Island, H., has
the honor of being the first scout to
win the new gold medal just designed
for the Court Of Honor, by Belmore
Brown, the explorer. The Incident
which won the coveted National Scout
Medal Of Honor for young Collier oc-
cured last January.
The boy had just started on an err
rand for his mother when he noticed
three men walking on the ice on the
river. Even as he saw them he per
ceived to his horror that the ice was
breaking beneath them. He ran about
300 yards and found an old boat.
There were no oars but he snatched
up a piece Of board and jumping into
the boat broke his way through to
where N Of the men was sinking.
The boy threw him the board and
pulled the boat, fast filling with wa
ter, close to the man, got him into 1t
and back to shore. Then emptying
out the boat he set out again in search
of the others. This time, not having
even the board to help him, he beat
his way through the ice downstream
with his fists. By this arduous process
he finally got to where the other two
men were. He managed with much
difficulty to get both into the boat,
which then began to sink from the
weight and having shipped so much
water. The men being unconscious,
the boy bailed for dear life with his
hands, screaming for help. Another
boat reached them In time and all
were gotten ashore. Not content with
his already heroic achievement young
Collier worked over the unconscious
men trying to induce artificial resplra.
ton. He succeeded In the case of
one man but the other who was Just
recovering from an illness never re-
gained consciousness. The story Is
n Of the most striking Of the many
noteworthy instances OF scout pluck
and resourcefulness that have passed
through the hands Of the Court Of
Honor and Scout Collier well deserves
the honor accorded him.

MERCHANT TELLS OF
A REMARKABLE CASE

Writing from Maxeys, Ca, A. j.
Gillen, proprietor of a large depart
ment store at that place, says:
I have a customer here who was in
bed for three years and did not go
to a meal at any time. She had five
physicians and they gave her out.
One bottle of Tanlac got her up, on.
the second bottle she commenced
keeping house and on the third she
did all the cooking and homework for
a family of eight"
This sounds really incredible, but it
comes unsolicited from a highly cred
table sourc and is copied verbatim
from the letter.
Tanlac is sold in Mexico by 'zim's"
Rexall Store and by leading druggists
everywhere. d1w1 Advertisement

THE LEDGER'S
PLATFORM FOR AUDRAIN
THAT RORREn HAIR.

THE fight being made on women's
bobbed hair is sweeping across the
nation.
It couldn't have been started by the
employer who feared his wife's dis
covery of a strange tress parked on
the shoulder of his coat, or the par
ticular person who fuses because
the butter is decorated with an odd
capillary a~rabesuqe, or the young
man who waits thirty minutes for
his fiance while she is restraining
and putting her freshly shampooed
thateh.
No it is evidently the insiduous in
strumentation of the hairnet manu-
facturer and hair pin statesmen.
Rosa Bonheur, the great painter Of
horses, bobbed her hair, but that
didn't interfere with the sales of her
pictures.
Departing from art and entering
the realm of efficiency, had we the
time to compute the figures, you
would be astounded at the time saved
in hair dressing as wei as couture
putting by the girl with the samsoned
tresses.
1t is true that bobbing the hair may
result in the immodest exposure of
the ears but then of course you
wouldn't expect too much modesty
these days if we are to be fashion
able. Oh, no indeed. We should say
not-and that is expressing what we
should say mildly.

at its inception today and to break up
4 home having two wives.
Willard Long was under arrest here
on a bigamy charge; wifs No. . was re-
turned to Louisville to face 4 charge of
cohabitation.
They had been living happily together
with Longs first wife and their 16-year-
old daughter. The second marriage was
to promulgate "a new faith" which all
agreed was inspired by communication
with the spirits.
Marjorie Gayle McTaIl, IS, became the
second wife because she was the medium
through which Long was supposed to
have talked to the spirits Of Jesus, Moses
and friends who had died. She had been
a clerk in 4 Louisville store which Long
managed.
"Others have endured prosecution, !"
Mary, the first wife, said. I'VE can en-
dure our share in the promotion Of the
great work which will result in untold
benefit to the human race.
81 feel so sorry~fer~ Willard, because
he Is separated from Marjorie. He has
a great work to do and he must have
her help. He's the very best daddy on
earth and we both love him. He loves
US both and we all love each other"
Marjorie's folks and the Longs had
been intimate for some time. One eve
ming when the McFalrs were visiting the
Longs some one called attention to a
newspaper item telling how a French ply
stefan hypnOtized his patients instead Of
administering anesthetics in an opera
ton The new faith started right then
when Long said he succeeded in hyp-

 Correspondence).


 Correspondence). PARIS, June 21.-Georges Carpen- tier, as the world we'll knows, makes his home in Paris, where he is well liked, respected as sportsman, etc. But there is probably no harder town in the world wherein the eager Dempsey fan can find Carpenter money.
 If you want to bet silk shirt, a bottle of good champagne, pair of ladies stockings or a breezy bit of silky lingerie for Parisian beauty on Dempseys chances Carpenters rooters are right there. But at this stage of the game-lets concede that it may change later-there's little chance of getting down any sub- stantial money on Dempsey.
 Freak bets are numerous. Ex-King Manuel, of Portugal, for instance, is backing Carpenter He is said to
 
 cases on Georges
 Andre de Fouquieres, the Beau BrummeI of Paris, likes Dempsey. If Carpenter takes the count the fashionable crowds at Longchamps race track may expect to see Fou- quieres in some of the most shriek- ing vests created since the world was born.
 The Prince of Murat will lay him. self out for several costly dinners if Dempsey wins. Most of his bets are with English sportsmen, for the Eng fish colony, almost solid, is putting it's last shirt on Dempsey. The two French claimants to the "prettiest pair of legs in the world" are both whooping things up for Georges. Mile. Mistinguett, whose admirers first pronounced hers the prettiest, hopes to see the fight. She is friend of hansome Georges and if he wins she will get enough pairs of silk stockings to cover her so- called "prettiest" for the remainder of her days.
 Mile Spinelli, rival of Mistinguette in the beautiful limb controversy, is dealing exclusively in lingerie bets. Her American and English friends who are laying their hopes on Demp' sey will draw down everything from kisses to champagne and cigars if she loses.
 Stage gossip has it that La Belle Dherlys," music hall dancer, who favors Dempsey, has agreed to step out on the beach at Deauville, July 3 in the same costume she wears before the footlights-a string of pearls-if the American fighter loses.
 But around Maxim's Claridge's bar and other rendezvous of the sport ing fraternitey where big bets on horses, etc., are frequent, there is practically no Carpenter money in sight. At this writing the Parisian betting fraternity is inclined to &C., cept the odds quoted in New York as correctly representing Carpenters chances and they hate to do what they believe is the equivalent of throwing their money away.
