SCOUTING IN PORTO RICO

Scouts are as eager 10 be helpful in Porto Rico as their brothers in the States are. A scOutmaster of Aguar dillo reports that during a recent cpl demic of bubonic plague his scouts made a house-tO-house canvass distrib- uting board of health instructions. On another occasion when a fire broke out in the center of the town at two o'clock in the morning, the scoutmaster got in- to his uniform and hurried along the street blowing his whistle. The signal was heard and obeyed. In a moment six proud scouts were by his side, ready to do whatever was required of them. The two who had charge of the first-aid pouch had occasion to demon- strate their skill in this line by render ing assistance to a fireman who had cut his hand, and the others stood on guard duty over property when it was carried to place of safety.

bit the aust in approved fashion and, while touring through Bismarck, N. D., recently, Hanford MacNider, national commander of the American Legion, had the pleasure of meeting the gen. tleman who caused the Bulls down. fall. It was none other than old Chief Red Tomahawk, Sioux warrior, who some years ago captured Sitting Bulls pelt, and who came from the reserva- tion to greet the big chief of the white tribe. With Red Tomahawk came number of the younger Sioux braves who fought in France with the A. D. F. and gave the Germans the surprise of their lives.
 While in North Dakota MT. Mac Nider smoked peace pipe with the Sioux chief and received congratula- tiOns of the chief of the first Ameri- cans for the organization which is en- deavOring to keep America for the present Americans.

PREPARED SCOUTS

David Stein, San Francisco boy scout, while in camp last summer fell over a 20-foOt embankment, striking his head against a rock. Two fellow scouts Homer Sweetman of Troop 9 and Eugene Brown of Troop 2S, were luckily on hand and ran promptly to the injured lads assistance. Having no first-aid kit with them, they tore one of their own shirts into strips for bandages which they used to bind up their friends wounds. This done, they improvised a stretcher with poles and their coats and got the patient to camp, where he received regular medical treatment from the camp physician, who declared that the boys prompt and intelligent action had doubtless saved Steins life.
