CALL ATTENTION TO SCOUT
HERO.

The story has more than once been
told Of that gallant Oakland (Cal)
boy scout, Allen Daffett, who gave his
life to save his younger brothers last
spring and died saying: II could do
nothing else. ! am boy scout" An
interesting sequel to this splendid lit
tie story Of heroism is the fact that
the Oakland lodge Of Elks. who are
tremendously interested In scouting,
wrote to their brother" Warren G..
Harding, calling his attention to the
lads noble sacrifice and true scout
spirit. The President at once replied
thanking the writer's for calling his
attention to the incident and asking
them to convey both his sympathy
and congratulations to the bereaved
parents.
Just SCOUT But his loyal readi-
ness to live up to his scout law and
oath to save life even at the cost Of
his own has won him place among
the heroes of the world.

Gigantic Banyan in the Botanic Gar

No tree in the world has had greater

Every tender succulent young root.
as 1t begins to fall like stalactite
from the branch overhead Is encasef

It is not improbable that the original
trunks will vanish altogether and
leave the still expanding outer growtlls
as a ring Of vegetation round an
empty circle. The mother trunk is an
almost shapeless mass by this time
and contributes very little to the sus-
tenance of the multitudinous progeny.

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council Of the Boy
acoufa Of AmArical
SCOUTING IN FRANCE.

Scouting is being used as a means
of restoring the physical and mental
balance OF the boys and young men
of the devastated area In the depart
ment of the Aisne.
Lorne w. Barclay, educational direc-
tor of the National Council of Boy
Scouts of America, Is In France on
special leave Of absence from duty
in America In order that, as the Uni
ted States representative Of scouting
he may devote his whole time to the
direction of scouting in France In con-
junction and cooperation with the
American Committee for Devastated
France.
Last year Mrs. A. Murray Dixie and
Miss Anne Morgan made an investiga-
ton as to the status and conditions
of boy life and found that not only
were the boys undernourished and I'M
dersiZed, but that, as result of the
war strain, they were in highly nerv-
Gus state. Coordination was lacking
to such a degree as to make efficient
most impossible.
Various efforts were made to cOun-
teract this by. regular physical exer-
cises, calisthenics, gymnastics and
games, with little result.
The mind of the boy was not dis
tracted from his surroundings, which
were all reminiscent of war, for long
enough period to obtain any lasting
benefit.
In desperation, Miss Morgan ap-
pealed to the Boy Scouts of America.
AS a result, Mr.. Barclay went over
last summer to conduct an expert
mental camp. This was so successful
that plans were Immediately made to
open several camps in the summer Of
1927, If finances could be secured.
Boy scouts throughout the country
were asked to contribute 500, the cost
of two weeks camp trip for one
French boy. This purchases his equip
ment and uniform. transports him to
camp and home again. Far more i'm
portant, 1t fits him to organize scout
Ing In his own community, and gives
him an even finer conception of pa
triotism and courage.
Boys are assigned as special guests
of the troop or individual who finance
them, pictures are exchanged and let
tiers whitehall this paving the way
to a stronger international friendship
and understanding.
The secretary Of the American Com
mite for Devastated France reports
$3,037, received up to date. It is hoped
that by October the first sufficient
monies will be In hand to defray all
the expenses of the two camps, one at
La Croix st. Ouen, near Compeigne,
and one at Corey.
The mayor Of Compeigne made
special call recently upon the officers
Of the boy scouts and the American
Committee for Devastated France to
express in person the thanks Of his
people: ut is the best, the most desir-
able, In fact, Its is an effort unique,
accomplishing for France, that fine
ness Of physique, that strength Of
young manhood which she so surely
needs and which Is so impossible for
her to evolve for herself at the pres
ent time. In her name have the hon.
or to thank the members Of the Co
mite American des Regions Devastees
and the Boy Scouts of America"

HOW LONG is A MILE?
Paving Shrinks With Cold and Elk.
pands With Heat

According to Charles H. Scholer
the length Of mile depends upon
the weather, that Is II it is mile
of rigid slab. hard surface road. Mr..
Scholer is chief testing engineer in
the road materials laboratories of
the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege at Manhattan, and his state
ment relates to measuring eXper-
iment which he conducted on the
road northeast Of Junction City,
commonly known as Grant avenue,
the brick road leading to Ft. Riley.
As head of the college laborator-
les. which are the official labOra-
tories for the state highway COM
mission. Mr.. SchOler supervised u
series of accurate measurements by
which he found that iIr the heat of
the summer this road increased in
length as much as 30 inches in a
mile. In other words, what is now
a mile or $3.50 feet on Grant ave-
nue., last summer was $3.50 feet and
eight inches. SO how long is mile?
Last summer several upheavals in
the nature of explosions occurred on
this road. These We're caused by
the expansion resulting from rise
in temperature. This piece of road
was laid in cold weather, and
when the opposite extreme of hot
weather came on, the pressure re-
sulting from the expansion was great
enough to cause the pavement to
blow up with sufficient force in one
into the ditch.
On the concrete road south of
Junction City may be seen the op-
pOsite of this condition. Here the
road was laid in warm weather, and
when cold weather caused contrac-
ton, the concrete pulled apart, leav-
ing irregular transversal cracks.
This is what will happen to the Gold
en- Belt paving eventually and was
expected. All concrete roads in the
Eastern states are built without
joints or expansion lines which of
course would take up the expansion.
When the cracks occur they are filled
with asphalt. This makes the road
smooth for travel and avoids the
continued rocking Of vehicles as
both wheels hit a division head at
the same tine.
On South Buckeye the asphalt
paving which seems to be the poor
est job in town has expanded and |
rolled up until the surface is like a |
sea on windy day. The contrac- |
tors should be made to repair it for
other parts Of town have no such |
effects except in few spots.
Paving is something more than
lot Of material on a base
it calls for scientific planning to
get good results

was sufficiently improved to spend
part OF his time In the Reflector Of

fully when he was again stricken.
Mr., johnson was aged about 40
years and had many friends who will
be saddened by his decease.
For over quarter century Mr..
johnson has been an employee of the
Reflector and never was there more
faithful member of an institutions
force. Competent, quiet, never fail
Ing In courtesy, he won the love
and respect of all with whom he
came in contact. He had skill and
taste that went into his work every
hour and he made Of his daily task
JOY because Of its workmanship
and artistry. Never was there
harsh word or criticism; he was
content to serve his ideals and
bring to his efforts the best he
knew without reflection upon mis-
fellows. A true gentleman in thought
and deed, a Christian in act and
word, he left his impress Of help
fulness upon the world Kind as
father and husband, giving his best
that happiness might come to those
he loved, he will be mourned by
the wife and five children with
great sorrow. The Reflector force
feels deeply the loss Of a member
