SCOUTING IN THE SCHOOLS.

chief Scout Executive James E.
West sends the following message to
all boy scouts in the schools of the
country:
"a true scout is always on the alert
for opportunities to be of service. In
many schools scouts are in charge of
the fire drills and first aid and safety
first training. They also conduct thor
ough school yard clean-ups, guard dan
gerous crossings and see that sanitary
conditions are in force in and out Of
school buildings. Are you and your
troop doing any of these things? If
not, get busy. Talk it over with your
scoutmaster and your teacher and see
if there isn't something which you can
do as a scout TO help your school.
Remember especially that scouting
is what you make it. If you are a
scout and careless in your personal ap-
pearance and needless of regulations
you are doing a great harm TO the
movement and not being a true scout
no matter how proficient you are in
signaling and fire building and the
rest. Scouting goes all through, into
every thing you do.
81 wish every frst-class scout would
determine to qualify for the merit
badge in scholarship this year and
make up his mind to get the most out
of his books-by putting a lot in"

where the two object balls would rest
when he had finished making the point
Immediately before him. He knew,
too, whether he would then be in a
position to get the balls out of ballk
and still continue scoring.
To accomplish these things as Hoppe
did, second ball play was leading
factor. 1t is simple enough to stroke
the first object ball SO that the player
will know where it is going to come to
a stop, but it is quite another matter
to figure to hit the second object ball,
whether it will be on the inside or the
outside and with what speed. Hopes
second ball playing was almost per-
feet, and had it not been for the adj
verse atmospheric conditions that pre-
vailed throughout most of the matches,
there is little doubt that his runs and
his averages would have been greater.
These conditions initiated against the
best billiards being played and, of
course, seriously affected the playing
of Cochran and Schaefer as we'll.
The contrast in delicate work was
particularly marked in the control the
players were able to exercise over the
balls when they were in the corners.
In the open Cochran and Schaefer
played just as brilliantly as did the
champion, but when it came to the ex-
tremely fine work required in govern
ing the action of the worries in close
manipulation there was no comparison.
Hoppe proved in this work that he is
in a class by himself.
Years ago Hoppe so far outclassed
all other players in this country at 1871
balkline that the game virtually be-
came dead one in the United States.
Few balkline players were willing to
match their skill against Hopes at
this style of play. They realized it
was a useless task. A similar condi-
tion is rapidly developing at the some
what easier game of 1872.

Boy Scouts Of America)
HONOR FOR BRAVE SCOUT

The fact that nearly a hundred med
ais have been awarded to boy scouts
by the national court of honor of the
Boy Scouts of America during the
past year for conspicuous service in
life saving is evidence that the BE
Prepared" idea is working. George
Noble assistant scoutmaster Of Troop
?, Charlton, Ia, won the gold medal
for feat of real heroism which he
modestly describes in the following
manner:
Last summer l Travelled with de-
tachment of Hearts of the World"
We showed the picture two days in
Rock Rapids and We're preparing to
go down to Orange City with the film.
l loaded the machines and films in my

old metal covered trunk, because

the bed, but was about to give up the
search when | happened to raise the
lid of the trunk and saw the boy.

HOPES EXCELLENCE

ran, and Jake Schaefer, His
Two Great Rivals.

Willie Hopes superiority as a mas
ter of balklne billiards was never
more clearly demonstrated than dur
ing the final round of the national
championship tournament at the Hotel
Aston. In the past he has invariably
far outclasSed his rivals and in so do
ing showed that he was in class by
himself, but the contrast between the
finesse of play has not been as force
fully outlined.
In ball-to-ball billiards, or, in other
words, as a shot maker, Welker Coch-
ran and Jake Schaefer, the players
who opposed him, proved almost the
equal of Hoppe, but thar is not the
real foundation of balkline playing. 1t
was in position play that the contrast
was greatest. In this all-lmportant es-
sential Hoppe far outclassed his two
rivals. Hoppe was always looking
ahead, as a balkliner should. He knew

GOLFERS TO VISIT ENGLAND
Plan Conceived to Send Large Team
Abroad With Idea of Capturing
British Open Title.

The improbability of an American
winning the British open championship,
when only one or two make the at
tempt, was very forcibly brought home
last season. However, the idea has
been conceived that if team of from
twelve to twenty of the best profess
SIGNALS in this country were to attempt
this task, the chances of ultimate vic
tory would be greatly enhanced, and
in an international team match they
would undoubtedly do great credit to
this country. Golf Illustrated is pre-
pared to raise sufficient funds, by pop
ular subscription, from the different
golf clubs throughout the United States,
to make this possible.

Pedestrians have the right of way

Illinois has over 100000 passenger
automobiles and $4,000 commercial
trucks.
The fire department of Atlantic

The shortage of gasoline and tires
makes motoring almost an impossi-
bility in Germany.
The number of automobiles in use
in the United States by the end of
this year is estimated at 9,9S3,S4S.
In the past 20 years, 100000 motor
vehicles were exported from the United
States, amounting to $1,25O,000,0o0 in
value.
Unearthed by the police of differ
ent cities from Boston to Chicago, a
well-organized band of motor thieves
has been working on a large scale by
disassembling and rebuilding cars for
resale.
A transmission brake is of much ad-
vantage in bringing a car out of a
skid. When applied gently and in a
progressive manner it aids the driver
TO straighten the car, lessening the
liability of damage.
A simple but frequently forgotten
precaution in regard to filing the
gasoline tank is that the mouth of the
gasoline can should be carefully wiped
off before filling to remove any dust
or dirt that may have lodged there.
Sealing wax dissolved in gasolena
with a little linseed oil TO prevent
brittlenesS makes an admirable var
nish for terminals.
The best method Of cleaning spark
plugs that have become fouled with
oil is TO boil them in solution OF
washing soda and water.
Before attempting TO apply a tire ia
a diagonally split rim make sure thai
the rim is not badly out of shape. So
that hammering will have TO be resort
ed TO after much of the work is done.

AUTOS PUNISHED
ON STEEP HILLS
1t Is Not Necessary to Take All
of Difficult Grades While
''in High Gear"
DONE SOLELY FOR ROASTING
Practice Imposes Hardest Kind of
Work on Engine and Every Other
Part of Car Low Gears
Should Be Employed.

The high gear hill climber Is first
cousin to the scorcher, and both are
bound to become wiser as time goes
on, says r. o. Allen, writing in Amer
lean Motorist on the folly of driving
motorcars up steep hills in high gear
solely for boasting purposes.
Continuing Mr.. Allen says:
II fully understand that the modern
automobile is made to climb almost
anything but trees. But l wish to
demonstrate that to climb a steep hill
on the high gear imposes the hardest
kind of work not only on the engine,
but also on every other part of the
car. The low gear ratios are provided
for hill climbing and they should be
used for it.
Work of Automobiles.
ut may be well here to consider
little more carefully the amount of
work performed by an automobile
climbing a gradient on, say, gear
ratio of three to one. ratio of three
to one means that one revolution of
revolutions of the engine shaft. With
the lower gear ratio, the intermediate
and the low, the number of engine
revolutions becomes still greater as
compared to the number of road-wheel
revolutions.
at it not so difficult to compute with
eXactneSS the distance which a car is
propelled by one explosion in the en-
CINE cylinder and the power consumed
In hill climbing. The circumference
of n 32-inch wheel is approximately
100 inches. and in covering one mile
as fast as the road Wheels it will re-
quire 1880 revolutions of the gear
shaft to propel the car one mile. Thus,
If such n car should proceed at the
rate of 30 miles per hour approximate
ly $50 engine revolutions per minute
are required. With two power strokes
at every revolution there are 1900
revolutions per mile and each eXplo-
sion prOpels the car one foot and four
and d half inches.
Resistance Added.
"This estimate assumes that the car
be propelled over level ground. To
mount hill simply means that grade
resistance Is added to the various fric-
tional and other stresses. An automo-
bile weighing 1000 pounds climbing
hill 200 feet high (measured vertical
ly) simply performs the task of over
coming the action of gravity or lift
ing, and the calculation of the pow
er required to do this must involve
the factors from which the horse
power unit is derived. To lift 1000
pounds 200 feet high in one minute is
the same thing as lifting 1000 times
200 or 100000 pounds one foot
high in one minute. Theoretically,
then, the lifting of 1000 pounds 200
feet high requires 100000 divided by
$4,000 equals 1912 horsepower, and
the losses through friction, air resist
ance, etc, consume the remainder of
the theoretical horsepower output.
From all of this it must become ap-
parent that rushing up steep hill on
the high gear must subject any car
to enormous stresses, which are likely
to affect the life and service of the
car to a considerable degree"
