HEROIC WORK IN PUEBLO FLOOD

Among the many instances of heroic
service in rescue work during the
Pueblo flood disasters, that of two
boy scouts stands out conspicuously.
On hearing that a man and his young
son were trapped in a burning build
ing, surrounded by the ever rising
tides of onrrshing water, they hastily
manned hfeboat and pulled through
the dangerous current to the. burning
building. The owner of the place and
his son were rescued with great risk,
not only because of the floods but be-
cause the burning building was being
shaken by terrific explosions all the
time from the lime stored therein.
Having discovered that three em-
ployees were also in the burning plant,
the scouts returned a second time,
battling desperately with the waters,
and got the other victims also to
safety. Hardly had they gotten into
the boat when another more violent
explosion occurred and the building
crumbled and fell into the water.

nights to care for us or mend our

for us. In fact there doesn't seem TO

Woman InvadeS
African. Wilds

vivacious and charming, who has Just
returned to London after travelling
LOO miles across the Libyan desert
iE Africa to explore the city of Ku-
fra, headquarters of the Senussi tribe,
a fanatic and hostile group whose mil
itary adventures recently have caused
anxiety in Egypt.
Travelled Alone.
Mrs. Forbes, wearing the native
costume. was alone in her daring ad-
venture. She joined a native caravan
and, riding a camel, finally crossed
the Egyptian frontiers and reached th<
sacred oasis city where only one Eu-
ropean-an explorer Of 40 years ago
has ever been before. Here she was
well received by the tribesmen and
given a safeguard back to civilization,
but throughout the journey she was
surrounded by hostile natives who
would have killed her had they known
that she was white woman.
The start of the trip was made from
Benghazi, the Mediterranean end of
the ancient caravan route from the
central Sudan across the Libyan
desert. She had previously arranged
for a form of passport from the Senus-
81, but this was of little value, as the
tribes through which she passed did
not recognize their sovereignty. Spies
surrounded the caravan and at the
sacred city of Tai the entire party
was placed under arrest and thrown
into native prison. After great diff
ficulty they were released and allowed
to proceed.
Welcomed by Chiefs.
At the osases of Kufra the chiefs
welcomed Mrs. Forbes and told her of
their plans for political power. On
the return journey she again had trou-
BILE with the natives and was at one
time forced to disguise herself as a
man.
Mrs. Forbes made a survey of the
country during her journey and col
lected much valuable information
about the national aims of the Senussi
tribes, but concealed a small kodak
under her flowing native robes and
made snapshots through a hole cut in
the dress. Returning to London, she
has now laid the results of her ex-
plorations before the British govern
nent and was received by tn king.
The Senussi are becoming a powerful
force in Africa, and when during the
war they allied themselves with the
Turks, Egypt was fortified against
them at a cost of $500 100000.

BOY
SCOUT S
Conducted by National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America-)
SCOUTING AND LOYALTY

A boy is naturally loyal young
animal. He will stick to his gang
through thick and thin, will never "go
back" on chum, no matter at what
cost to himself, and scouting, dealing
as usual with fundamental boy in
stinctS, makes use of this natural ten
dency, turns it to constructive ends.
In scouting, boy loyalty is both taken
account of and developed. Loyalty to
the patrol, the troop, the scoutmaster,
so over into loyalty to the community,
and country as pledged by the scout
oath.
No one who has ever seen troop
of boy scouts taking the oath of allie
glance to the flag, grave, earnest, sin
cere, can doubt that here are Ameri-
cans in the making to whom the Stars
and Stripes are not merely strip Of
gay-colored bunting, but stand for
something real and true. something
worth dying for. If need be.
Scouts are being trained in citizen
ship which means not only that they
know the history Of this country and
how its laws are made, but that tney
stand ready to serve the nation In
whatever ways a boy may. Co-operat-
ing in a nationwide Forest Protection
week. as they did in May last, fight
ing forest fires, planting trees, aiding
in city clean-ups and health surveys,
fighting gypsy moths and bagwofins
and fungus blights, sharing In efforts
at wild life conservation, aiding the
police in directing traffic, serving as
firemans aides, ETC., they are prac-
ticing citizenship here and now, are
learning 1t. by living 1t, day by day.
Everywhere we are seeing today
wars dangerous aftermath Of lawless-
ness, especially among our youth.
Scouting offers one of the best anti
dotes for this Ill, for a scout stands
for law and order. Scouts learn to
obey, not as blind driven cattle"
but as good citizens who recognize the
necessity and reasonableness of law.
A scout executive in West Virginia re-
Gently examined the court records OF
his town for ten years back and found
that not single scout or boy under
scout influence had ever passed
through the court. and similar records
are every now and then reported from
various parts of the country. scout
is loyal-too loyal to be law breaker
Ours is great country and has
great problems to meet. No one can
tell what the next few years will hold,
but we can be sure of one thing, that
no nation can be stronger than Its
men, and that every bit Of splendid
volunteer leadership in the work of
making men physically strong, men
tally awake, morally straight" Will
count immeasurably for good and as
the best sort of patriotic service.

The reason may be that the French
are occupying that part of the right

the Ruhr in real military fashion and
the occupation is much more severe
than that on the left bank.
The hatred of the population Is di-
rected more especially against the
French, and children are being brought

which gives but little promise that the
real brotherly love between French
and Germans will be achieved with
the coming generation.
