THE sEAscoUT MANUAL.

OF great value to all scouts is the
Seascout Manual, the latest publica-
ton Of the seascouts' branch of the
Boy Scouts of America. 1t brings up
points in real scouting which hitherto
have been sighted to a degree. II
treats thoroughly cloud study and the
use of the barometer and psychrom-

ting and splicing are matters which
interest scouts as well as seascouts.
These are well illustrated by detailed
sketches. 1t tells also how to make
one of those handy seabags and tote
straps; how to correct compass so
it will point true north.
Any boy interested In becoming
seascout may get the necessary infor-

Is none, by writing to the chief sea-

Common Cause that needs efface
The feuds of creeds, OF rank and race,
The selfish greed that basely thriveS-
And pays its dividends in lives

New wisdom from a Scouts Good Turn

To love- to serve to think, to act.

MAY TRY TO ABOLISH
OBJECTIONABLE RULE
Eliminate Goal From Touchdown.
Says Cavanaugh.
Many Close Students Of Football Have
for Years Favored Abolition of
Play-chicago-ohio State
Game is Cited.

Frank W. Cavanaugh, former Dart
mouth star and successful coach at
Boston college, says that 1.-THE goal from
touchdown is going to be eliminated"
Cavanaugh takes the attitude that
the presence of the rule permits of
many injustices In the game. He says:
with the old rules it made con-
siderable difference where the ball was
downed after a player had gone over
the line for a touchdown. 1t did seem
an injustice that because a team hap
pened to go over the goal line for
touchdown while close to the side lines,
the try for goal should be a more
difficult matter than If the ball had
been downed directly under the goal
posts or close to it.
For that particular reason great

for years favored the entire abolition

there are some people who still cling
to the goal-after-touchdown idea. Some
of them stand high in the game and
in order to appease the minority as
well as the majority, the rule was
changed prior to the start of the 1920
season. In an effort to eliminate as
nearly as possible the loss of games
through the failure to kick a goal after
touchdown it was ruled that all such
attempts should be made from point
directly in front of the goal posts.
Ordinarily it would seem that the
kicking of such goal would be very
easy matter. AS a rule it is, yet many

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts of America)
LIKE OUTINGS IN WINTER

Winter camps in the North give
boys opportunity for such exhilarat-
ing sports as sledging. skiing, skat-
ing, and hockey. All these were en-
joyed by the scouts in the various
northern winter camps during this
season. And best of all they were
enjoyed under expert leadership, all
troops being accompanied by men
versed in nature study. At the great
camp for boys of New York city,
Capt. II. Beard and other borough
council executives were present. Cap
tain Beard, who is nephew of the
famous scout Dan" Beard, national
scout commissioner, was recently made
scout executive for the Borough OF
Manhattan.
The Minneapolis winter camp was
directed by W. c. Vessels, formerly
of the office of the national camping
department of the Boy Scouts Of
America in New York. Mr.. VESSELS
is a graduate of the New York state
college of forestry at Syracuse, and
in December was called to Minneapo-
lis by the boy scouts council there to
take the office of director Of camping
and outdoor activities. His schedule
calls for an all-year-round program of
weekend and winter camping.
In these winter activities scouting
is proving the success of its an
nounced policy of making campcraft
an all-year-round program. Some Of
the advantages of winter camping and
weekend camping during the winter
months are that larger enrolment
Is thus made than was ever made
through summer camping. In winter
camps the boys are not bothered by
flies, mosquitoes, and other insects,
snakes and other reptiles, and numer-
Gus other pests, including park loaf
ers and tramps. Food keeps better,
and then, of course, there is the slim
ulating effect of the celebrating win
ter air. Also in most cities boys In
winter are enabled to camp nearer
home than they are in the summer
time.

HARD TO EXPLAIN POISONING
Scientists Unable to Tell Why Bites of
Some Animals Are Fatal and
Others lnnocuous.

Scientists in Great Britain have
been greatly interested in the recent
case of a monkey bite resulting in the
death of the king of Greece, says a
London dispatch. The result is that
a study is being made Of the effects of
bites from various animals. Inasmuch
as the monkey is what is known as a
"clean feeder" it seems extraordinary
that the bite of such an animal should
produce the fatal poisoning of a hui
man being.
1t does not. however, appear that
the malignancy of an animals bite
can be measured by what it feeds
upon. A dog is a carnivorous crea-
ture, vet its bite seldom produces seri-
Gus results, while on the other hand

few weeks ago a woman died from
