possible, with patches of intensively

Boy Scout Organization
Plans New Training Centers


New York, Nov. 19.-The National
Council of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca, carrying out it's program of ex-
pansion, has announced its purpose of
opening four big national centers for
the expert training of scout execu-
tives.
Immediate plans are on foot to es-
tablish the first of these centers near
New York, and the Council is. already
seeking ground for that purpose. It
is hoped to establish other centers,
probably one in the middle West, one
in the far West and one in the South
This headquarters in the field" will
furnish an opportunity to concentrate
OH experimental work as well as fur
nish an excellent training center, es-
pecially for courses in "How to Train
Scoutmasters." II it is not practi-
cable to bring the executives to the
ycntcds for training along these lines,
it will be possible to move the head
faculty TO different parts of the
country.
The scout executive is the salaried
official in a big city or community,
who makes scouting his business, and
directs the volunteer leadership of
the movement. For many years
there have been available in different
parts Of the country, various training
courses for scoutmasters. The scout
master is the volunteer leader who
takes charge of unit called troop.
Mortimer L. Schiff, who has served
as Vice President of the National
Council, has recently been appointed
International Commissioner of the
organization. He will, devote his time
to the international affairs of the Boy
Scouts.
Since the beginning of scouting in
this country over 12 years ago, a
total of Att eagle badges, the high
est rank in scouting,s have been is
sued. OF this number 1,477 have
been allotted since the first of the
present year.
1t is considered remarkable that
such large proportion of these
marks of distinction should have been
given out in;the past 10 months. In
order to attain. this much coveted
eagle badge, the scout begins as a
tenderfoot and climbs up the ladder
one rung at time until he becomes a
second class, and then first class
scout. 1t is at, this point that the
boy begins to do his real climbing
which calls for training along special
lines. After he is first class scout,
he may become life scout, and then
a star scout, and then comes the
highest rank, whichp is Eagle.
Eleven of the merit badges the
scout must obtain to become an
Eagle the specifically in the fields of
first aid, life saving, personal healtht,
public health, cooking. camping, civ
hs. bird study, path finding, pioneer
ing. and athletics or physical develop
ment ~
From now until next February the
scout organization will conduct a
campaign for more members. It is
hoped to increases the enrolment by
100000 scouts, OF 26 per cent of the
present membership.

I1iis, Nov. lS.-The sale of tobacco
u Trance is a government monopoly.
and the right to keep tobacco stores is
granted by the Ministry of the In
tciior at the request of deputies, who
often desire thus to reward some of
their constituents.
Georges Clemenccau was being an
noyed by a deputy who persistently
claimed one Of the largest tobacco
stores in Paris, the manager Of which
belonged to the opposition.
The third visit of the deputy to
the Ministry Of the Interior found the
Tiger in n sarcastic mood. II can't
decide about the tobacco store Just
yct,' Clemenceau said as he escorted
him to the door, "but take this, it is q

And he handed the deputy very
small cigar.

COMPULSORY contribution, are entitled
to free drinks and sandwiches from
the bar Of the chamber. And old rad.
:ca. deputy, elected in 1886, was wont
10 avail himself of the bar privileges
without the slightest reserve. Stand.
ing in front of the bar one day, after
he had absorbed drinks and partaken
of sandwiches to the limit of his ca
pacity, the hungry member of par
lament proceeded to fill the spacious
pockets of his swallow-tail coat
Clemenceau, standing just behind him
was extracting" eacn sandwich from
the pocket Of the deputy as fast as
they were slowed away. Michou, that
was the deputy's name, finally became
aware of the "theft" as the sixth
sandwich failed to show any percepti-
bic increase in the weight of his coat.
Turning around he beheld Clemenceau
In the center of a group, passing
sandwiches about amid great mirth.
Michou vowed there and then he
would avenge himself.
In 1888 Clemenceau was candidate
fo- the position of president Of the
chamber, with M. Meline as his op-
ponent. Michou, although a political
