 International Aim
 5.-To become a center of organ ized international friendship and to be directly related to the University Scout clubs in England and other countries, for the promotion of scout brotherhood and the love of the out of doors.
 6.@To serve as a mems of main taining an interest in scouting through the college course. so that the former scout will become leader in boys work or other social ac- tivities in his own community.
 ITO serve as a basis for the re- cruiting of professional lea dership for the boy scout movement. such as scout executives, camp directors, etc., ana men who may go to foreign countries to assist in the organization of scouting there.
 The membership shall be for all those who have been scouts who are interested in out t-doors life and boys.
 The form of the organization is simple "a president and secretary with committees designated for the carrying out of special projects. such as big meetings or publicity or the securing of scout student leaders for the community.
 The relationship of the New Haven Boy Scout council to the club is very close, and the scout executive serves actively in the life of the club.
 The activities and program of the club are simple, limited to such aS- .tiyities as men individually can carry through, either in helping troops or in promotion of the scout ideal.
 During the year few meetings of the club will be to help promote fell lowship and interest.
 It is hoped through this plan to

Hoopla! These Scouts
 To Be Real Red Indians

As preliminary to the Indian pa- geant which Remington Schuyler is to stage in June. New Rochelle Boy Scouts met the other night in the Mayflower School auditorium attired in Indian regalia. brandishing toma- blood curdling yells. The scene be- came a little calmer when Chief Schuyler took charge of the pow wow and explained his plans for making a band of scalping savages overnight out of white Boy Scouts, by means of paint. dye, bristles, etc, plus natural boy instincts.
 Every Indian of worth," said MT. Schuyler, "carried a wampum belt" Then he showed a belt patterned after the Pennsylvania treaty belt. which represented the big fat Quaker with hat, and slender Indian. and went on to explain the symbolism of the belt he held. string of eight beads. seven blue and one white, the seven blue beads each representing one of New Rochelle's seven troops In New Rochelle. MT. Schuyler added and the white bead representing the Rotary club. which is taking such a leading part in promoting scout work that he was going to give a string of these symbolic beads to each scout master and one to a leading Rota- rian. Whereupon he introduced MT. Grant, the well known manu- facturer, to whom he presented the beads he held in his hand. Every boy jumped up and gave three lusty cheers as MT. Grant received the first string for the Rotary club.
 Big Crowd
 One hundred and twenty five boys signified their readiness to take part in the pageant. The costumes ap- bearing at this preliminary meeting were of varied hues and extent. They ranged from the breach clout and

necklace of a warrior to a complete hunting suit as worn here about many years ago. The cost varied from 10 cents to S6. The program opened with "a tableau of eight painted braves sitting in circle with their chief. First the scouts were shown how to prepare a water drum from a nail keg The keg was half filled with water. had a hole bored halfway up in the side and q wet chamois skin tied over the top. It can be heard for miles in the forest. MT. Schuyler did a war dance while his braves played the drums
 Next came introductions of the braves in order of expense and ex- tent of costumes. The first con sisted mainly of a good coat of tan and necklace. The second was the same except that he had large pack basket on his back.
 From No. on they were more completely attired. There were moe bright colors, war bonnets, head dresses, and excellent bead work. At distanceA looked like the real thing. As a matter of fact. they were improved from last winters under wear dyed, Decent feather dusters, inexpensive beads. and pieces of old blankets.
 The most expensive costume was dark blue with fringe of the same color. It consisted Of hunting shirt and long trousers. Many war clubs had been made by the scouts. They looked so realistic that no scout thought his head hard enough to all low it to be whacked As soon as the real studying of the costumes was over, all the Indians entered into a war dance while MT. Schuyler beat the drum. After the war dance, the red men formed a camp during which Mir Schuyler explained how an Indian messenger would enter such a camp on business.
 The meeting closed with cheer for the pageant and MT. Schuyler.

poLLAR,s FIRST VOYAGE

From The Nations Business.
 Idlers along the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal saw curious craft shove off from shore. Closer scrutiny disclosed that the vessel was wash tub and that she had been forced into a marine career by the one small boy who made up her crew. Being true Scot, the idlers surveyed the scene without visible emotion.
 The sailor had stick for an oar. No matter how hard he worked 1t he could only make the sub go round and round. This rotary form of pros ress confused him, and presently the small boy set up a lusty yell Tor help. It was answered by his father who rowed out from nearby lumber yard and effected a rescue. Immedi- ate1y after landing, the boy was pad dled In an earnest and thorough Scotch manner. Some of the witnesses went so far as to maintain that the punishment was applied with the stick that had served as oar.
 This painful scene happened some 70 years ago. It was the first voyage of Robert Dollar, who was destined to become one of the worlds great ship owners And many tree has been cut through the Dollar sawmills to serve an unintentonai revenge on the christening stick.
 MT. Dollar has been called the most interesting business man in the United States. In spite of his 7S years he is still an active executive in a shipping and lumber business that circles the world. Steamers with the Dollar mark on their tunnels carry timbers with similar marks into ports that have strange and stirring names. The story of his life has this univer- sal appeal-he was a poor boy with little schooling who emigr2ted to America and by hard work rose ta great wealth and influence, and. like late Andrew Carnegie, he came to Eealize that wealth imposes obliga- tions-both moral and financial.

 After the general path, the boys climb that hill like squirrels to sur round the big tables in the mess hall where they conduct battle against food and delicious pies, and win out. Very properly, after this skirmish. the fellows repair to their tents and hunks, where they drift off to sweet sunderland if their pals give them chance.

 Unexpected Action
 There was sickening ssb-r-r-r7r.s long drawn out, and then some scout volunteered;

 He was in a group that was get ting ready to have its picture made when the accident happened and de- layed operations. When MT. Baird, Age Herald photographer, got all set again there was 9 mighty yell that the youth come back and take his place. But loud protests and vociferous negatives came from the interested victim. who flatly refused to see himself in print under such circumstances.
 But what scout would worry about little thing like that! scout is taught to take all misfortunes calm ly. even humorously.

The Prevention OF Pneumonia

(By Henry I. Chickering, VI. D.
|. Pneumnia causes much sickness
tad many deaths.
Many peple dreaod consumption or
tuberculosis, and much is being done
to fight the disease. And yet almost
as many people die each year from
pneumonia as from consumption.
Pneumonia is so serious that one per-
son out Of every five who gets the
disease dies. In the United States
and Canada about 100000 persons
die each year from pneumonia, and
this means that about 100000 have
1T e9ch year. A person who gets pnc
umonia is usually unable to work
fer several weeks. Pneumonia oftei.
leaves people who recover with weak
hearts and lungs. 1t is a dangerous
disease. This leaflet is written so
that you mty learn to avoid it.
z. what is Pneumonia?
Pneumonia is an inflammation of
The lungs. 1t is caused by spccia.
kinds of germs. These germs are
present in the discharges from tnc
thloa and noses Of most people.
The germs from people sick with this
disease ere mere likely to cause pneu
monia than are the germs from the
mouths of well people. But there is
danger from any Of these germs,
especially since they at tires alsr
cause colds and bronchitis. 1t is well
to tc careful not to spread these
germs at .ny time or to any person..
3. How is Pneumonia spread?
Pneumonia is spread from one prr
son to another, especially from peo-
pie who have the disease, by cough
ing, succzing, splitting, or>by handling
al ticlcs such as hanukerchiefs,
spoons, knives and forks which hav.
been soiled by discharges from the
threat and nose. When these ger als
get upon carpets, articles Of furni-
ture or clothing, and are kept in Il
dark room, they live for long time

ever reach the mouths or noses OF
people handling these articles.

A. How does Pneumonix start?
Hickory daily record., 1922-01-20

Pneumonia comes when person

In addition to neglecting a "cold, .
here are other things which help to
