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 a local paper under
his signature:
II am boy scout because i like to
be one. The longer / am scout the
better like 1t. A scout learns things
and has a pile Of fun learning them.
You know how a regular guy likes
good swim, good hike. fussing
around the woods, honest-to-goodness
boy games. snagging 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 guy kid Is,
and IL he isn't what he should be, he
either gets mighty lonesome in gang
If scouts or comes across. I'll tell
the world I'm glad to be a scout, and
I know few hundred other guys In
Topeka who will shoot you the same
dope"

BOY
SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council Of the Boy
Scouts OF America-)
SCOUTS WIN PRAISE

At the Kansas City convention Of
the American Legion 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 resolu-
don Of Thanks as well 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

day acted as traffic aides and had

thousands Of automobiles: so boys
were on duty every day in the various
information booths scattered through
out the city. and carried on 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, 1.-THE
boy scouts rendered good piece Of
service" According to others the
service was more than good. 1t was
great.

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 i'm
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
neighberhood 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 iabora-
tory, examining the methods Of water
testing and other sanitation processes.

Unemployment Bureau Making
Investigation Of Recurrence
of Industrial Depression.
SITUATION IS NOW SERIOUS
City and Town Administrations Can
Help In Present Crisis by Speed
ing UP Public Works-Every-
ono Can Help.
BY COLONEL ARTHUR WOODS,

by COLON6I An Nun W0SOop
Chairman, Committee on Civic and Emer-
gency Measures. Presidents Conference
on Unemployment
Does the new year bring pros
pect Of better times to the average
American worker? Are there to be
more names ON the shops pay roll In
1922 than In 1921? VIII there be
work for more hands on the farm?
Has the nationwide spread of unem-
ployment been checked? What are
we doing about this critical situation,
both In industry and agriculture. any
where?
We all know that early In October
last, President Harding called con-
ference on unemployment. Speeches
were made. reports were read, and
committees appointed. Then this
significant gathering Of men and
women from all over the country took
IN adjournment. What has been done
since them I think l can answer
this question, and some other queries
over this disturbing state of affairs.
Briefly, as a starter, let me say that
this recent conference has not been
like some other conferences, which
have met, discussed the subject, passed
resolutions, and then gone home, leav-
Ing as the only net result of the pro-
cedure printed report. Our con-
ference is following up the conclusions
to which 1t came when 1t met in
Washington and 1t will continue to
Aeep on the Job until real results
are achieved. ~
But In the final result the last word
must be spoken by the American people
themselves-you and 1.
To Ward of Bad Times.
The unemployment situation has
two distinct features. One is that
wherever period Of Industrial de-
preston comes around and lot of
people are thrown out Of work, people
puzzle over why In the world It all
happens, and wonder what can be
done to prevent 1t from happening
again. AS soon as things ease up again,
however, they stop puzzling and the re-
suit is that when the cycle comes
around again down drops business
activity the same as before, and out
into the class Of those out Of work
drop hundreds Of thousands of our
fellow citizens.
1t Is important, therefore. to try
this time to see II something cannot
be worked out to ward of these bad
times. The standing committee of tho
conference Is engaged on study Of

them get little pay. that they wouldn't
otherwise have got, and SO add to
the purchasing power Of the country.
Many cities have carried on sustained
"spruce-up" campaigns with the re-
suit that the old town never looked
so well-groomed and spick and span,
and that many people who were In
hard luck were helped out of very
distressing situation.
Everyone Can Help.
And you and /, what can we dol
We can help out someone who Is
in hard luck, who can't get chance
to earn a living that he Is capable
of earning. and who would give his
eye teeth If he could get the oppor-
tunity of earning. We can help him
out, perhaps with clothes, perhaps
with a place to live in for himself
and his family, perhaps with some
regular meals, even IL we haven't any
extra cash that we could devote to
the purpose. The American workman
Is a pretty self-reliant individual.
When he loses his job he will take
care Of himself as long as he can.
economizing, doing odd jobs, living on
his savings. When he can't last any
longer this way he will take from
people from whom he has a right to
ask it, because they are relatives or
real friends, because he has helped
them before when they have been out
Of luck or because they know that
II the conditions were reversed he
would help them. He gets help too, per-
haps, from his church, his lodge, from
groups to which he belongs. This sort
of thing enables him to hang on a
while longer in the class Of those
who make their own way, and the
American sticks in this class just as
long as he can manage to. 1t is only
when he has exhausted every resource
and knows not where to turn that he
finally drops into the class of those
dependent upon the public. The men
and women of America who have jobs
can help those who haven't to keep in
the class Of the self-sustaining and
keep out Of the class Of those who
have to throw themselves on the pub
lie for help.
And we can help also. you and I. by
having work done now that we other
wise might not have done until next
spring. The only cure for unem-
ployment Is, Of course. employment.
and each in his little way can help
to bring this about. We live in big
country, and IL most of the people in
It help, even In a little way, We can
move mountains.

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney OF bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrits-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see what
Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam
pie size bottle by Parcel Post. You can
purchase medium and large size bottles At
all drug stores.-7Advertisement.

Neighbors Glad as
Boys Pet Disappears

Middletown, N. Y.-Ten-year-
old Wade williams. who lives in
Montgomery, Is looking for his
pet skunk, Blackie.
Recently. while walking In a
cemetery near his home, Wade
found Blackie sleeping on the
windward side of a headstone.
He carried him home and, In
spite Of the protests of friends
and his family, he built house
for the animal In the back yard
of his home. Every time that he
went on an errand Blackie went
with him at the end Of string.
The protests of neighbors and
others finally resulted In the call
Ing Of a conference In the Willis
! home, and the next morning
Blackie was gone. Wade's
queries obtained him no definite
information. The fur dealer who
got the skunk promised not to
lead him around on q leash.

Seeks Remedy
for Bad Times

this subject, and expects to put In
enough time on 1t to learn all 1t can
and to be able to put into effect, so
far as its powers go, the measures
necessary to prevent or alleviate these
recurring depressions. One way that
has been much talked about Is through
public works. II the various kinds Of
public works which city, state and ma
ton are going ahead with all the time
could be done little less during
periods when private industry is BOOM
ing and little more in times when
private industry has slowed up, this
procedure might tend at any rate to
make the cycle Of depression when 1t
comes little less severe than 1t
otherwise would have been. People
who have studied the situation estimate
that plan of this kind could be
worked out which would not involve
the postponement of any puDlic work
which 1t was important to do soon,
yet would serve to make period Of
Industrial depression at least 80 per
cent less severe than 1t would other
wise have been. A measure like this
Is well worth while looking into very
carefully and trying to bring about
IL 1t can have this sort of good re-
suits.
Help Needed Now.
The other feature Of periods Of I'M
employment is the immediate emer-
gency, and the fact that hundreds Of
thousands Of our fellow citizens need
work and, through no fault of their
own but because Of an Industrial situa-
ton beyond their CONTROL can't get
1t. The unemployable we have always
with us, the man who would rather
do most anything else than work, and
we are tempted to think Of all people
out Of work as being like him. In
times like these, however, we must not
forget that there are enormous num-
bers of capable workmen, eager to
work at anything that will enable them
to maintain themselves and their
families, yet unable to find job.
This Is everybody's business. Al
though the situation is worse In some
parts Of the country than in others,
It is countrywide condition, and
can be met adequately only by coun-
try-wide action. Everyone can help.

lions can help. They can speed up
public works which have got to be done
soon anyway and which, IL people get
little busy, can be done now rather
than later. Public employment
bureaus can be started and operated
skillfully and vigorously, so as to
find all the Jobs there are and to al
into them people who are qualified
to do the work. The United States
