FOR LACK OF "A BOY SCOUT

The papers recently gave consider able publicity to the fact that a cer- tain physician lost himself in the woods while Un a hunting expedition and was found two weeks later, nearly starved with d raw partridge ID his hand, because he had no matches To start fire. It is interesting to notice how frequently In commenting upon this Incident the newspapers have pointed out that "the doctor should have had boy scout along, to show him how to make q fire by friction and tnd his direction by sun and stars
 By reason of the scout movement the next generation will be. better pre- pared for such emergencies" observes the Salt Lake City News. ''IO say the man suffered for lack of match is to misstate his case. He suffered almost to death for lacl of fire, and he lacked fire because We have come 10 depend so much on matches. What he needed, In the absence of matches, was knowledge of some earlier way of mak- ing fire" Some knowledge of the arts of primitive man are desirable for all who would seek the primitive wIlds. This Is one of the great ideas of the boy scout organization. The finished scout left in the woods, could make fire by rubbing sticks, could make wigwam or hut. and. could estimate the general direction by his watch with the aid of the sun. The boy scout or. gunizers did not discover these things. but they discovered that they could stlll be used in. an age of great aru- fiClal progress"

A special election has just been held in the 37th New York congressional distric, to choose a successor to A. B. Hougaton. who was made ambas- sador 10 Germany.

This threw the sup port of the prohibition and religious elements to the Republican nominee. Lewis Henry. He was elected-but the majority was SD much reduced from 1920 that the result IS hailed by the vets" as a sign that the country IS turning against prohibit Exchange.

OMAHA SCOUTS PREVENT WRECK

Two boy scouts, James Caldwell and Clarence SwIugholm of Omaha, re- gently prevented serious train wnsck by prompt action and presence of mind. Coming home from hike they discovered that a large tree had fallen directly across the track of the Omaha Chicago passenger train which was already whistling around the bend only few hundred yards away. Tearing of the red sweater of one Ot the boys they ran along the track, waving the danger signal franticaIIy. The train was halted and doubtless many lives were saved. Nothing tO it." said Scout Swingholm when peo- ple tried 10 overwhelm the lads with praise. "We just did a good turn and that's what boy scouts are for" The tree was one which some bee hunters had evidently felled and ran away from In dlsmay when they saw II hud fallen in so preCariOus a place. The contrast between the conduct Of the boys and that of the men speaks for itself. Once again, 'We can't help being proud of 'em."

 The methodical man, whose home was about a half-mne from the sub urban railroad station, had never been known to hurry for his morning Jrain. While other commuters rushed along with hurried glunces at their watches and al the clock in the tower Of the station he managed to get to his desu- nation just as the whistle sounded from the crossing above. His fellow travel CTS generally arrived too soon.
 "AIy method Is really very simple he explained. "All do is watch the length of the cigar that I'm smoking, Irs an unfaiIing habit of mine to get up at exactly the same time each morn ing, eat breakfast and then light cigar of a standard brand and always of the same size. Then look through inc news of the duy and start for the station. If I'm late I can tell by the degree to which the cigar has burned. If its still early there will be an inch or so left. l throw the butt away Just as reach the station"

Boston, Sept. 1.-THE Chicago rail
strike settlement will have no effect
on the position Of the Boston &;
Maine Railroad, j. H. Hustis, presi-
dent of the line, announced in a
statement tonight.
1.-The places of the men, comprising
practically the entire motive power
and car repair forces, who left our
service on July l, last, have been
generally filed" the statement said
1.-The work is being performed by
men who had our assurance that they
would be protected in their employ
ment, provided their work was sat-
isfactory. This assurance stands.
What has been accomplished by
these men and by the supervisory
forces and volunteers, was beyond
our expectations. The evidence of
this is that service, both passenger
and freight, has been performed in
full measure and of a quality that
has commended itself to our patrons.
1--WE are conscious of the difficult
ties of the present situation, due to
the probable demands on transporta =
ton as a result of the settlement Of
the coal strike and the expected bust
ness revival during the fall months.
However, the new men are gaining
experience daily, and competent
workmen continue to apply for work
and are being employed where there
are vacancies.
"The delivery Of the new locomo-
tives and the new passenger train
cars has commenced as had the de-
livery from outside shops of locomo-
tives, freight and passenger cars
which We're sent to those shops for
repairs after July l, all Of which
tend to improve conditions. We be-
lieve the situation is well in hand and
that the course we have taken and
will continue to follow will meet the
situation"

ST. Lawrence.
PROJECT ATTACKED
AT PORTLAND meet

Portland. Me. Sept 1.-THE ST.
Lawrence and Great Lakes ship canal
project was attacked at the session Of
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways AS
ISOLATION this afternoon by Peter G..
Ten Eyck Of Albany, N. Y. former
member of Congress, and Henry w.
Hill, president of the New York
State Waterways Association. Both
urged the adoption of resolutions
condemning the proposed construc-
ton and such action by the conven-
, ton tomorrow is looked for by the
delegates.
Mr.. Ten Eyck declared the pro-
ducers and consumers in New York
state are not ready to join in a prop
osition which will cost over billion
dollars and nine -tenths of which will
be in foreign territory. He pointed
out that the barge canal route is only
500 miles against the 1350-mile st.
Lawrence route.
President Hill said it would cost
Chicago $200,000,000 to construct
terminals and waterways so that
ocean going ships could dock there.
He condemned the proposal Of the
international joint commission that
the United States pay in proportion
to the tonnage passing through the
canal, making the cost to this country
two thirds instead of one half. He
asserted that Ontario is the only
Canadian province in favor Of the
project.
In addition to declaring against the
st. Lawrence canal, the resolutions
committee is expected to recommend
tomorrow denunciation Of the prac-
tice Of polluting bays and harbors by
vessels entering ports, an issue that
was raised by Mayor William F.
Broening, of Baltimore, this after
noon.
Resolutions calling for the COM
pletion of the inter-coastal water
way from Maine to Florida and
thence to the Gulf of Mexico, for eX
penditures by Congress only upon
waterways lying wholly within this
country, and for the speeding up of
action on the Cape Cod canal pur-
chase act are scheduled for recon-
mendation.
The reelection Of Mayor j. Hamp-
ton Moore, of Philadelphia, as presi-
dent, and Wilfred H. Schoff, as sec
rotary trea surer of the association is
forecast.
