Cheer Ruth, r az =
Umpire and Eat Ice
Cream Cones.

New York, Oct. 6.-Lord Mount
batten, cousin Of King George. Of
England, and his best girl-LAdy
Mountbatten-went to the world
series game yesterday, ate six ice
cream cones and two bags OF pea
nuts, drank four bottles Of soda
pop and rooted until hoarse for
Babe" Ruth and the Yankees.
The Nominations are democratic.
They gossiped about the game with
q crowd Of young folks in an ad-
joining box and called in q soda
pop boy to explain the game to
them. They stopped the first ice
cream cone vender that came their
way and bought and averaged one
cone and a bottle of pop every
three innings. thereafter.
sAttaboy, sBabe'!"
Az Ruth walked down to first
Lady Mountbatten laughed, alta
boy, Babel"
When the umpire called a strike
on Pipp she said: Rotten" and the
lord joined in the chorus Of Take
him out"
The soda pop boy they called in
forgot all about his wares in look
ing at Lady Mountbatten. Under his
tutelage her ladyship and his lord
ship-who were just miss and mis-
ter to him-learned all the high
points of the game rules. They
soon came to know every one of
the players as they strobe to the
plate and in their positions afield.
They're On Honeymoon.
81 wish," said Lady Mountbatten,
after the game, 1--WE could stay for
the other games. But we're honey
incoming, you know, and we're 60
ing inland a bit. When we come
back east we're going to see some
of the big football games. I hope
they're as good as baseball"

Copyright, 1922, by The August
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 6.-An opera
ton performed by which an open
safety pin was taken from the
stomach of Mac Asbill, Jr., six
months old son OF a well known
Atlanta attorney. was today char
acterized by doctors as one Of the
most remarkable feats in the his
tory Of surgery.
BY means of a wire loop at the
end of rod a foot and a half loIg
the point of the pin, which rested
just at the entrance to the baby's
stomach, was pushed under tie
safety catch and then the pin was
drawn out without injury to the
child. In addition to The wire loop
the doctor used tiny pair OF
pinchers on the end of two long
pieces OF wire and lowered down
the baby's throat a tiny electric
light to enable him to see.
No Anaesthetic Used. a.
The entire operation was per-
formed without anaesthetic and
lasted about Is minutes. The child
had swallowed the pin while il
wed. His mother, hearing him
\ scream, noticed when she went to
him that the safety pin used to
bold down the blanket in which he
Was wrapped was missing. How
ever. as the baby soon stopped cry
Ing she decided that he was all
right. Careful search failing to To-
cate the missing pin the doctor
was called as precautiOn.
The infant was removed to a To-
cal sanatorium and X-ray, taken.

the. entrance to the stomach. Spe-
clAlists who were called said there
was a possibility eventually it
would pass through the stomach
Without injury. Some hours later.
However, the child developed pain
and cried. Another picture
showed that the pin, instead of
working down, had moved upward

He decided against any anaes-

with crying that it gave very little
trouble.
DR.. Buff tied the cord of an cleo

with his right hand he manipulated
the pinchers and wire loop after

PATROL UNIT IN SCOUTING

50 frequently it is stated by scout
executives IN reply 10 the question why
more churches in the community do
not have Boy scout troops, that many
uf the churches are too small TO have
Il troop, writes John Nj. Gore. Scout
Executive, Knoxville, Tenn. They
haven't enough boys of scout age Is
not such reply based upon the con.
cepuon OF troop of from "a 10 80
boys? True, there are many of the
smaller churches which find if hard
to muster that many boys above
twelve years Of age, and because of
this some scout leaders consider such
church as lacking the opportunity
Tor troop organization, many suggest
ing that several such churches combine
ana form troop. The latter plan,
however seldom works out salts
factorlly because the troop lacks the
Identity 1t should have In the church
of which the boy is a member or with
which he is identified
The error in assuming that the
church which cannot supply a Suf-
icient number of boys TO make up
full troop cannot organize for scout
ing is due in part at least TO a failure
TO emphasize the patrol rs the real
unit of organization. A patrol of eight
constitutes Il large enough group to
provide excellent opportunity for good
scouting. In fact, the smaller number
has particular advantages. There *
more likelihood Of success In securing
leader and more chances of an eff
cient program. There are men will
ing and competent 10 lead eight boys
who are not willing and who are not
competent to handle larger number.
With this point Of view can there not
be organized groups of boys in many
churches where they are not now or
ganized and where it has been thought
impossible 10 organize them?
This leads US to declare that in
other ways the patrol has not been
adequately emphasized. troop is
no stronger than the patrols which
compose it, The patrols offer excel
lent opportunities for grading within the
troops They afford the maximum op
pOrtunity for developing older boy
leadership. The patrol leader is
very important factor in the manage
ment Of u troop. We should be more
concerned with his selection and pro
vide special opportunities for his train
nc HttIa nj h,,r
The cultivation and utilization OF the
patrol leader constitutes one of our
largest opportunities for holding the
older boy. The real appeal to the
Older boy is not along the line Of sell
tishneSs through the proffer OF priv.
ileges, but through the appeal to serv-
ice. He Is impressed by being given
responsibilities. He loves to be a lead

leaders training courses. organization
of prospective patrol leaders should re
Ceiye much greater attention than
tley now receive. Here Is a way. at
least in part. TO meet the older boy
problem.
And further, has enough attention
been given 10 the actual program of
the patrols? Here is where we may
learn much from our English scout
friends. Baden-Powell is always re-
ferriug to the patrol its leadership and

Stubborn Fire at
Home Frank Clark

The local fire department was
called out at SIS Friday morning
for q fire at the house owned by
Frank Clark at IA Gannett street,
and occupied downstairs by Mr..
Clark and upstairs by James Nor
man. When discovered the fire had
attained some Roadway and a call
was sent in from box Al to which
the department quickly responded.
The firemen had some difficulty in
locating the flames, which had start
ed in the shed and worked up
through room which had been<used
for storage purposes. 1t was neces-
sary to use water and the shed was
well flooded. The damage to Mr..
Clark's property was estimated at
about $1,000. covered by insurance,
and the damage to the property of
Mr.. Norman was not known.
The fire is understood to have been
caused by hot coal ashes which had
been put in a wooden ash barrel.
The flames spread from the barrel
up through the partition to the store
room above and thence to the attic,
which was used for storage. Because
OF the furniture which was in these
rooms, it was extremely hard for
the firemen to reach the flames, it be-
ing necessary to move some of the
contents Of the room that they might
work.
A hose was strung from a nearby
hydrant and the flames were eXtin-
guished, the damage being mostly
from water and smoke. The all-out
was blown at S.55.
