SCOUTS WIN PRAISE

AT the Kansas City convention of
the American Legion a thousand or
more boy scouts from the two Kansas
cities and from Independence, Mo-,
acted as police for the big parade,
which attracted the biggest crowds in
the history of the city, and so splendid
ly did they do the job that the papers
wrote them up almost as enthusiasts
tically as they did the Legion itself,
and the Legion voted them a resolu-
ton Of thanks as we'll as passing a
general resolution indorsing the move
ment and urging Legionnaires to be-
come scout leaders.
Fifty picked scouts from different
troops served as an escort to distin-
guished visitors, staff of aides to
the chief of police and as ushers to
the reviewing stand. Nine of the fifty
were Eagles. Every day of the con-
vention 70 scouts acted as aides,
day acted as traffic aides and had
charge, under their leaders, of parking
thousands of automobiles; so boys
were on duty every day in the various
information booths scattered through
out the city, and carried on a regular
communication service between the
booths.
Another interesting good turn was
the drawing by Eagle Scout James N.
Pickering Of the map of the city, a
hundred thousand of which were
printed and distributed among the WIS.,
itors and delegates.
"All in ALL" says Scout Executive
Wright, in speaking of the event, "the
service" According to others the
service was more than good. 1t was
great.

WHY BE A SCOUT?

"Stew Judkins," first-class scout of
Topeka, Kan, knows why he is scout
and makes no bones Of telling the
world, either The following state
ment appeared In local paper under
his signature:
II am boy scout because like to
be one. The longer I am a scout the
better I like it. A scout learns things
and has a pile of fun learning them
You know how regular guy likes a
good swim, a good hike, fussing
around the woods, -to-goodness
boy games, snagging a few fish and
then eats them until he busts. That's
what you get at boy scout camp, and
you amt going to blame me for liking
to be a boy scout To be regular
guy in this game, you got to play and
live according to the rules. You sure
find out what kind of a guy a kid is,
and if he isn't what he should be, he
either gets mighty lonesome in a gang
Of scouts or comes across. I'll tell
the world I'm glad to be scout, and
know few hundred other guys In
Topeka who will shoot you the same
dope"

Steel Barrels.

If the statements of the makers are
well founded, 1t is probable that steel
barrels will eventually take the place
of wooden ones. The steel barrel is
composed of slaves of that material
locked together by an ingenious de-
vice; the hoops and heads are also
Of steel. 1t Is claimed that the steel
barrel Is more durable and more COM
pact than the wooden one. AS it rs
said to be lighter and cheaper, 1t has
already had favor in various quarters.
About 300.00O,000 barrels are needed
annually in normal times, to supply
the demand in the United States.
Flour mills use about 9O,000OOO, the
sugar industry 100000, and the
cement industry 75,000,0OO Christian

BADGES FOR SCOUTING

The Albany IN. W council reports
that public health and firemanship
are two of the most popular Merit
badges among scouts. Nearly fifty
boys have qualified in public health
since October 1, 1920, and forty have
qualified in firemanship. The author
tiles report that the intelligent inter-
est taken by the boys in these inn
portant branches Of public service has
had marked effect upon the life of
the city. Boys living in the more
congested regions have helped mate
rally in making their homes and
neighborhood cleaner and more sani-
tary and have brought the matter of
sanitation to the attention of their
parents. In the course Of their public
health work the scouts have inspected
the city sewage disposal and filtration
plants and visited the state labOra-
tory, examining the methods of water
testing and other sanitation processes

ture length production, Grand.
mas Boy" In which the noted
comedian demonstrates that he Is
gifted with a fine dramati. sense
and was greeted with enthusiasm
by the friends he has made here
through his work In the short. film
field.
The story, while essentially hu-
morous, permits the logical intro
duction of drama and pathos,
which serve to accentuate the hi
larious fun In which the five reels
abound. .N q,
"Grandma's Boy" was a young
ster of good natural instincts but
a victim of physical cowardice and
the favorite prey Of all the village
bullies, especially of a broad
shouldered one who was his rival
for the favor of "the girl" His
grandmother told him a fantastic
tale of his grandfather's success
full fight against similar coward
ice through the agency Of a lucky
charm. So confident was "the
boy" In it's potency that he went
out single-handed and brought in
a bandit that had held the sheriffs
armed posse at bay. Then he went
to work on the hated rival, lost
the talismhn, found It again and
even when "Grandma" confessed
her duplicity, retained his new:
found valor.
The f. narrative is simple and
Straightforward and affords Lloyd
opportunities OF a nature he has
not heretofore enjoyed and of
which he makes the most. His
supporting cast is led by Mildred
Davis, Noah Young, Dick Suther-
land and Anna Townsend, who,
eighty-four years old, does a ia
cile bit Of work as the grand
mother.
