SCOUTS AS TRAFFIC AIDS.

In Fort Smith, hrk., scouts were
recently put on the job Of recording
their observations\ as to how well
drivers Of automobiles were obeying
traffic laws and reported that one
third of the motorists observed did
not slow down for railway crossings
and were otherwise criminally negli-
gent. AS a result of this report more
stringent watch was set on traffic
and safer conditions enforced.
Another traffic job which won much
praises locally was the aid rendered
by boy scouts to the police depart
ment Of Detroit In handling holiday
crowds on two of the city's busiest
corners. Squads carried long ropes
preventing pedestrians from crossing
streets during vehicular traffic;' when
the traffic direction changed squad
leader signaled and the boys hurried
to block the other intersections The
police say this work was never so
well managed before and greatly min
lmized the number of accidents and
the prevalence Of Jay walking.

In length (about 1875 square miles),
which does not belong to it. Until the
World war, when special surveys of
the border were made by the War de-

the mistake In current maps.

home.
3. Name the most serious violation
of public safety principles which has

duce satisfactory evidence that he has
done all within his power to correct
the same.

The county and state maps of Texas

and the topographic information sup
piled was nearly always meager.
Up to 1850, when the geological sur
vey began in Texas, there was only
one point in Texas with its exact loca-

This was monument to David Crock

About 1880 some women were giving

the old monument was broken into

AID BREEDING
OF RENDERS

ing reindeer for meat. These rein
deer multiplied from an original i'm
portation of 1880 animals made IS
years ago for the benefit of the Es-
kimos.
"People have asked me what the
future of the industry Is likely to be-"

asking them the question: If 1,2SO
reindeer I'm 2S years produced the
present 100000 animals, what is like
ly to be the increase from 100000 ami
mails in the next % yearsT The in
crease is almost unbelievable. In 9th
er words, the industry, properly han
died, should have a great future.
"The Alaskan firm which has started
the industry exported 1900 head to
Seattle last year. The firm has es-
tablished four small cold storage
plants at points on the Alaskan coast
where the reindeer can readily be
driven down for slaughter to he re-
frigerated and loaded for shipment
II believe Alaska contains avaiable
range to maintain from four TO five
million of reindeer. The estimate has
been made that 1t would take care
of 100000, but think that is too
high.
"Five million reindeer would give
an average output Of about 1,2JO.OOO
reindeer a year. Dressed for market
an animal now averages $50 pounds.
Taking this weight and the present
value Of reindeer meat, the fully de-
veloped reindeer industry in Alaska
should yield approximately $43,0OO.OOO
year. Reindeer have been In Alaska

crude methods of handling has been

There are big herds Of wild carbon

some bulls of which dress up to about
400 pounds. We plan to capture some
bulls of this stock and use them with
an experimental herd Of reindeer cows
for the purpose of building up high

weight and increased hardness. ! be-
lieve IL will be practicable In less than
ten years to have the reindeer Of Alas
