Ways of Gypsies in Marriage Matters

SCOUTS, BIGGEST ENROLMENT

June, 1921, showed the biggest en-
rollment of scouts In the history of
the movement, a fact which ought to
be matter of pride and congratula-
tion to all concerned. The more boys
that come under the influences of
scouting, the healthier, happier. finer
will the boyhood Of America be, the
greater the promise Of It's future. 1t
Is not meaningless chance that makes
us hear on every side that boy scouts
aren't in the police courts, that boy
scouts are in the honor rolls of our
schools, that boy scouts are perform
ing this or that civic service. Scouting
rings true to It's aims. 1t not only
claims to fit boys for manhood but 1t
does 1t, so why shouldn't we be proud
that the Boy Scouts of America num-
bers an active membership of over
100000. Why shouldn't we salute and
pay all honor to the scoutmaster, the
volunteer leader of boyhood under
great banner to great goal? Why
shouldn't we say to them and each
other: "Come on, let's make it 5O0,-

reported to the court, showed Sorine
was the father This failed to satisfy
Mrs. Del Secco. Her attorney told
the court in effect:
''When the test was proposed Mrs.
Del Secco felt certain science would
prove what she knew as the mother,
but when Doctor Abrams reported
Sorine the father her mother knowl-
edge belied the findings"
The mother and her lawyers re-
fused to accept Doctor Abrams ver-
dict and Haig Patigan, San Francisco
sculptor and clubman was called
into the case. He was asked to make
observations of the facial planes ana
cranial characteristics of the boy In
comparison with Sorine.
Patigan filed his observations in
report to the court, which were ac-
companied by sketches showing, he
faid, peculiarities common to both
Sorine and the boy. Patigan said he
did not regard his observations as
determining definitely the boys pater-
nifty, but would show a number OF
points of resemblance.
Thus Judge Graham has science, art
and the claim of a husband against
the word of mother as evidence to
base his decision.

Tokio.-According to the Asahi
the Navy Department is drawing up
a project for the disarmament confer
ence designed to foresee all eyentuali-
ties and by which, before engaging in
a general discussion of limitation Of
armaments, Japan would propose rec
ognition of the freedom of the seas
and especially recognition of the prin-
ciple of dismantling defenses of the
Islands Of the Pacific, considering the
establishment of powerful American
naval bases in Hawaii and Guam
might constitute the starting places
for an attack against Japan.
A continuation of these bases, the
newspaper asserts, might necessitate
the navy recommending that the gov
ernment make an addition to the
eight capital ships at present provid-
ed for in the eight battleship, eight
cruiser program.
The fundamental idea is described
as being the removal of possible Of
