Of the Boy Scouts Of America at the
Hotel Commodore, New York city.

who are devoting time and interest to
boy leadership. Approximately 1900

most significant gathering of volun-
teer workers in behalf of bOyhood ever
brought together in any place in the
world.
The "Get Together" was given IN
der the auspices of the executive
board of the national council through
the courtesy Of John Nee. Bowman.
president Of the Commodore, and in
dividual members of the executive
board, who personally stood the
expense. The gathering was composed

the executive board, the scOutmasters
of every troop, the council members
of the five different bOrOughS, scout
executives, the troop committeeman of
each individual troop, and other vol
unteer workers. 1t was held in the in
terest Of the Greater New York COM
mittee, Of which Hon. Franklin D.
Roosevelt is chairman, and was in the
nature Of an appreciation on the part
of the executive board of the services
that are being rendered by these hun
dreds Of workers in Greater New York.
James E. West, the chief scout exec
utive stated that, LAS a result of this
gathering it was expected that there
would be a new consciousness on the
part of all concerned as to the value of
our program for character building
and citizenship training; further, that
: increased resources may be made avail
able in order that under the leadership
of the five borough councils more boys
may be given the benefits Of our pro-

A SCOUT is HELPFUL

During a ferocious blizzard in Mason
City, Iowa, last winter an old gentle
man was so unfortunate as to lose his
glasses in a gust of wind which carried
them to the street Nearly blinded by
the storm and helpless without the
very equipment he sought, he fumbled
in vain in the snow when boy scout
offered his aid. Seeing that the old
man was suffering from the cold the
boy insisted on his going into build
ing to get warm while he continued
the search. It was nearly an hour be-
fore the scout found the glasses and
when he did he refused the proffered
tip. It was all in the days work for
him.

BASKETBALL, FORT
MCCOY vs.. FAIRFIELD

Fort Mccoy, Dec. 13.-The Fairfield
"Speedsters" speeded their way to
Fort Mccoy last Saturday and met
the school girls of that place in a
game of basketball. These speed
sters" are a speedy bunch all right
but when they struck the Fort Mccoy
team the brakes were applied and
they were slowed down quite consid-
cradle and went back home trailing
the small end of 81 to 20 score.
The game was fast from start to
finish, but Fort Mccoy took the lead,
scoring a field goal in about fifteen
seconds from the toss up and their
lead was never once threatened. The
first quarter ended II to for the
home team.
The team work of Fort Mccoy was
excellent with but very little fumbling.
All members played their positions so
well that it would be hard to pick the
stars, but we must mention the good
throwing of Annie Brinson, who &C
cepted twenty-four chances from the
field, ringing twenty-five of them on
the first shot and some of them from
rather difficult positions. Of the other
two she scored them both one on the
first recovery and the other on the
second, getting all twenty-four and
not losing one. To be sure she was
ably assisted by her running mater,
Dorothy Bogue in the first half and
Elizabeth Farris in the second, the
later scoring three field goals and
two from the foul line.
Both teams played better on the
offensive than on the defense, but the
home teams defense was strong, re-
covering many ball and starting it
back on its way for goal. The two
guards, Rosa Mae Atkinson and
Maxine Teuton, played fast and ag-
gressive game, nipping many of Fair
fields prospective goals. The two
jumping, centers, Amy McRae for
Fort Mccoy and Edna Tongue for
Fairfield, were quite evenly matched
with Miss Tongue having shade the
better of it on the jump, but the team
work of the cetners for the home team
was so superior to that of the visi-
tors that this slight advantage was
useless. Mynella Crowder played side
center for Fort Mccoy and Ruth Hart
and Miss Dent for Fairfield
The main feature of Fairfeld's
playing was the free throwing from
the foul line by Frances Hart. She
missed but one throw in seven. The
other members of the Fairfield team
were Fora FAINT forward and Ida
Nettles and Myrtice Thompson
guards.
Quite a crowd witnessed the game
and all went home well pleased.

Father Love va. Mothers.

Among some fishes the male as
sumes all the care and anxiety of
parenthOod. And this is true of at
least one or two families Of birds.
The male ostrich matches the eggs
and looks after the little ones. The
greatest enemy of the eggs and young
of the stickleback fish Is the mother
herself. She not only has no affec-
ton for them whatever, but would
eat every one of them If she weren't
prevented from doing so by the IA
ther. In very few species of fish do
the females care anything for either
the eggs or the young.
Among fishes, therefore. the in
stinct to save the young is not the
wonderful mother instinct found In
the human or other higher species, but
the father instinct.-DetrOit News.

AT Genoa,

NEW YORK, May 1.-What sort
of dynamite is being manufactured
at the Genoa conference?
What are Hs world dangers?
These questions were put to Ber-
nard M. Baruch, noted financier and
economist, chairman of the War In
'dustries Board during the last year Of
the war, member of the Supreme
Economic Council, economic adviser
for the American peace commission
and American delegate on economic
and reparation clauses of the treaty
of Versailles.
Baruch spoke of the dangerous po-
tentialities in the German-Russian
treaty.
This treaty" he said, sis the logi-
cal sequence of isolation Of two ma
tions made outcasts, first by America
and second by Europe and largely by
themselves.
"And China now is the logical ally
of Germany and Russia. China is
neglected nation whose territory
is beld by Others, by nations China
cannot throw out"
The question was put at to the ma
ture of the German-Russian com
bination and its effect if China join
ed.
$50 far as men and material are
concerned" Baruch said, Germany
and Russia would be as self-contain-
ed as any nation in the. world, with
the possible exception of America.
Russia can produce any amount of
foodstuffs, and possibly cotton. Ger
many can supply manufactured
goods.
"If Russia became Germanized in
a military and commercial way, it
would mean a very dangerous a1li-
ance. With China in, this alliance
would quickly come into conflict
with the Horsepower treaty made at
Washington. There would be Japan

i do not believe. however, that
a Germanization Of Russia amounting
to anything can come until there is
personal initiative again in Russia
that is, system of individual eff
fort opposed TO the communistic idea.
Whether that is near, as has been
reported, | cannot say"
The whole trouble, Barueh points
cut, recalling his own prophetic words
of Is months ago, traces back 20 the
failure to fix the amount of repara.
tions Germany should pay at a reas-
enable sum.
Every thing that has happened
proves it," he said "It proves that
until reparations are fixed sensibly
no world conference can be a sue
cess, that disturbing things like the
German-Russian treaty will crop up.
None of the economic questions
can be settled at Genoa. Lloyd
Georges program for 10-year non
aggression holiday would have to con-
slider this question: What will the
Allies, particularly France, do if Ger
many doesn't pay? For under the
treaty of Versailles France has a
right to move into Germany to en-
force the claimsw
America helped to make outcast
nations of Germany and Russia, in
Baruch's opinion, by Withdrawing
from the League of Nations. Europe
made it worse, he says, by contin-
uing to impose impossible conditions,
thus further isolating Germany.
"The more unreasoning the world
continues to be the worse it will be-"
he said. "Grave world dangers can.
not be avoided until safe ground
of good faith based upon reason is
found. Nothing can be gained when
fear and hatred are the moving caus.
es; we must be governed by reason
and hope"

to consider. Almost anything might
happen then-in spite of the four
power treaty"
The possible Germanization of
Russia and the likelihood of the Ger
man-Russian treaty growing into a
military allowance were put into
questions.
Germany can put Russia to
work." said Baruch. ''That would
make am unbeatable combination,
from both an economic and q mill
tary standpoint. 1t would be d COM
bination Of brains, determination,
man power and materials.
