By Bill Sikes

MT. Sikes, when a boy sets to wearing billed shirts and making dates with girls, he is not worth fig As Scout any more" said one of our troop recently. 'It boy goes to looking after girls poor scouting has to suffer"
 This trip we have figured on mak- ing our cabin more beautiful and are putting in some jack bean vines and other climbing stuff so that we can have shade as well as beauty All our rock has been piled cut ready for the chimney. and our hard work Is out of the way. But We are going to put it all over the other scouts, for we have our radio set made and the wire on hand for our attennae so that we will get 1t up and be ready to listen In on the concerts. But the main thing we want our set for is to enable us to wire in for more grub. We have about i2 boys with sets in the city that we can reach. for we have made us a sending out- fit with a spark coil that looks as if il will work Is miles and one of the boys has a good storage battery.
 Listening Far
 Even if We cannot get our sending pQAl1N ib carry that We IdH li& uP so we can listen In on Pittsburg as well as Birmingham. When we get everything hooked we are going to invite Mir. Roland Shine, executive. over 10 concert and show him how we can shine. II Is too pad that we cannot send out our concerts, for we would have some of these great artists green with envy if they could hear our harmonica selections. We are training us a quartet and chorus so that we will be way up in q in the musical line. Only trouble with Us Is that we have our concerts right after the evening meal and we are generally rather full for utteranee after having put in hard days grind of work and play.
 Likes Democracy
 like the democratic spirit that runs through this camp Some of our boys were born with silver spoons in thelr mouths, but that does not prevent them from fraternizing with the hoys from Pratt City, which troop Is mostly made up of boys whose fathers are wage earners and cannot give their boys everything. IL Is bad idea for a boy 10 have too much, anyhow-but a purse proud chap would surely be out of luck on society hiuRe. we nau a NlSltor one day who was opening up about what he had. and so on, when one Of our boys cut in on him with this: We do not give a dog gone for what you have; 1t is what you are that counts with this bunch"
 These boys have read rather more than the average youngsters, and 1t seems that 1t has been well selected. Then, too, they pick up a lot of things by listening to what they hear. Here is one boys definition of a secretary
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-05-12

Greetings to the Birmingham m scouts from the Bessemer Boy Scouts. We wish you well. We hail from Bessemer, the young in scout ing. We are striving to reach the goal to be big scouts some day scouts Bessemer will be proud to have.
 We want to say few words about our scout camp, camp Chip pawa, located Is miles from Besse- mer.
 One of Best
 Camp Chippawa is going to be one of the best boy scout camps in the state in few years. This will make our second year at camp. We really have a scout camp.
 If you don't believe it come to Camp chippawa and see for your self. We had a grand time down there last year.
 We wander good many times back to those good old days-good times in swimming. games every day and in all we just enjoyed our selves having worlds of good times.
 Cabins Too
 Yes, we have cabins. No tents. No sir, we have the regular log cab ins. made. by the boy scouts of Bes- scmer. We have nearly eight cab ins. first class mess hall, good spring, dandy place to play ball. and all kinds of games.
 Last week the boy scouts went to Camp Chippawa to spend the week -end and we sure had a good time Brought back memories of last years camp.

Church and Scout

It will undoubtedly surprise many people to learn how the Boy Scout moven ent has won to its support the religious bodies in the United States Practically all great religi- ous groups sit around tho birthday table of the Boy Scouts of America at it's yearly anniversary.
 The twelfth Scout law reads "A Scout is reverent; reverent toward God He is faithful in his religious duties, and respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion" This law largely explains why men of all religious faiths can cooperate in the character building and citizenship training program of tfis organization.
 The movement Is only 12 years old. and yet already has received the official indorsement of the leading religious examinations. More troops are organized in connection with churches than any other insti- tuition and if is beliSved that al- most every seoutmaster is definite ly affiliated with enc or another re- lisious organization.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-05-12

Of board of trade Tt is mostly n man whose ideas seem to be to issue all the bonds you can and leave them for us to pay" Now I wonder wha | my friend Charles Harold would say to that definition? A great many of them have read Fenimore Cooper's tales and especially the 'Deerslayer' and the Last of the Mohlcans." I really believe that If John Perryman should ever reach heaven and not find a good book of fiction there that he will want to Kick out and come back to camp even if he does have dishes to wash
 Fine View
 l doubt if there is finer natural scenery in all the country to surpass what We have out here. The creek winds under the bluff a good bit like the Tennessee river does under Look out mountain. and in the distance one can see the mountains rolling over each other, and hoy, you know. can people those woods with deer and Indians Some of them have reeounted reeolleetions of how their forbears had to gather in Columbus. Ga, back in 1S36 when the Indians under the leadership of Jim Boy, a half breed, drove the people out O fRusscl1 coun- tv, Some of them had forbears aboard the Hyperion" when 1t was fired upon by the Indians, and others had ancestors with General Scott when he cleaned tip the uchees and Hichitoes and drove them out of Tuskegee, making the federal road safe for stage coach travel from Macon, Ga, to Montgomery,
 4 Poet
 We were watching Dame Nature take her brush and paint in the glow ing canvas of the sky one of her beautiful sun sets. The sun was dropping down behind the mountains in a blaze of glory and [ was filled with the beauty of fl when I heard some one saying In an undertone ap- parently forgetful of surroundings and everything save the hush and beauty of the sunset.
 "The splendor falls on castle walls
 and widowed turrets old and
 hoary.'
 and then heard him follow it up And I would that my tongue could
 utter
 The thoughts that arise in me"
 turned and found my hoy back of me apparently lost to everything save the painting nature was setting before his eye. l knew then that the chances were he would never be a money maker and shine in the busi- ness world as gainer of dollars, but somehow it thrilled me to see that he could be filled with noble thoughts, for we recall that Shake- speare said My mind to me king dom lsn and that is eeerlastingly true of the boys in our bunch. Let us stop this craze for money getting and teach our boys that there are higher things than dollars, useful as they are. is the wish of Bill Sikes.

ems story of Bleak House. He. s well as MT. Shine, brought tears to the eyes of those present Lamar Branseomb, president of troop th-ee, which was having the ceremtny, made the speech of introduction. fol- lowing which scout Jim Mason gave talk about first-aid tests. Four bandaged-up scouts came in to show how scouting teaches boys how 10 serve one another in case of accident.  The bandaged-up scouts were Lawr- ence Weller. Wilbur Kelly, Jesse Yates, Quincy Peters.
 Tribute to Leaders.
 Mir. shine paid high tribute to scout master Tram Sessions Of the troop and H. Rosser Angel. assistant scout master, both of whom are working overtime to make their troop efficient. There was singing by the choir. Mrs. T. l.. Bissell, soprano; Mrs. r. J. Smith, contralto; owen Gillespie, tenor; T. L. Bissell. base.
 Several selections on the organ were beautifully rendered by Mrs. Sata' Hunt Vann
 It was a wonderful revelation 10 everybody present how those young scouts did not mince words. but spoke right out in meeting. The scout editor was proud of them. One of the finest questions during the evening was this. from MT. Shine:
 Parents. do you know that your boy travels with clean crowd scouting teaches him manliness and cleanliness.
 The scouts who assisted in the in- vestiture ceremonies were chaps from the magnificent troop. of which Mir. F. G. Burchf!el of Woodlawn is scout master. This Is troop l4.
 It was announced that troop three scouts during April had passed 4j7 tests. This was more than the num- Der of tests passed by any scout troop In BirmlnEham.

huestiture Ceremony
 Is Inspiring uent

very beautiful investiture cere- mony. in which many chaps received Merit badges. showing their earnest endeavors in scout work. was held last Sunday night at the South High lands Presbyterian church.
 Long before the hour set for the unfurlIng of the United States flag, the audience began 10 come, and G. l. Mcdonald, district commissioner. arrived--tp set up the candlestieks that were to burn so brightly while and repeated for the audience the 12 scout oaths. MT. Mcdonald gave this ceremony beautifully.
 The church was filled with people, who heard Roland L. Shine. scout executive. tell a beautiful story of a scout who had gone wrong.
 The scout was one of his old troop members in Texas. He is now a man. A few days ago he wrote MT. Shine of a terrible deed he had committed and the miserable life he has been leading.
 Wired Him.
 "Chief," he wired, T am disgusted and ashamed of myself. I want to go straight again. Will you not pledge me to that old, old scout oath, as you used to do when l was boy?'
 And Mr. Shine finished his story with:
 T went down to the telegraph off, flee and wired him. On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and obey the scout law
 This was the dramatic ending to the magnificent speech Mir. Shine had made. in which he had told the nf ,,,d fo and mothers of non scouts, what it meant to have their boys trained along these high and noble lines.
 Dr. w. R Hendrix, pastor of the church, followed the address with a masterfM re-telling of Charles Dick

HEROES IN THEIR TEENS

HEROES IN THEIR TEENS
 There are over 500 boys in the United States who have received medals for saving life at the risk of their own.
 1t did not require a Boy Scout movement to make boys heroic. But it did seem to require that movement to teach boys to be prepared to meet emergencies in which heroism would count for little without knowledge of what to do Give a thought to what the scout movement Is doing for our boys. How many of us know what splendid record scouts have as life- savers, and in meeting emergencies that threaten life and property?
 The truth Is, it has become such a matter fact thing to expect scouts 10 help fight epidemics, floods. fires. panics, that we forget that they are boys who are doing these things. Tn 12 years, boyhood in

him in framing up some advertising calculated to make every southerner lie awake nights wondering whether after all he had not built himself a veritable hot-house in which to re- side
 Following the first ad, Bob had calls from six separate southerners who pledged for houses if they could be made as satisfactory as the ad- vertisement read, and more than a hundred other interested persons dropped by the office. Thc whole campaign was a bowling success.
 More Cnsh
 A little later Bob was in a position to borrow more money. He had sold a great many lots and prospects on certain other pieces of property he had acquired cheaply put him in position to obtain upwards of s1e0,000 He got the money and began with the loveliest residences that he had ever constructed. The third of these he chose for his own home.
 One extremely beautiful plan would suss est something even more attractive so him until by the time his second year was out, he was get ting some fat fees from Birming ham leading citizens who were hay ing their own houses revampe along colonial and southern angles.
 Very early Bob decided there should be no sarteness in any house nor sho lid hi towns suggest mo- notony.
 It was one lovely day In the very early spring of his twenty-first year that he was invited to join the .Ju- nior Chamber of Commtrce.

The reason Is, we've all about decided to build ourselves colo nia- homes and we think if we can get you to join the organization you will give us discount"
 Bob met the sally with proper gusto, and had just turned to say that he would be present at the next meeting when he felt his l.ees give way.
 ihS Ieu-hedueu ETH was coming down the street
 He was afraid the older man might note his agitation. He wheeled, and. turning rapidly, murmured a hurried good-by and fled in the opposite di- rection from the way in which the young woman was coming.
 What did he have to say to her? How could he approach the topic quickly? How could he make her remember him?
 He rushed into corner drug store, an came out by the sNle entrance.
 She was almost there.
 Bob advanced slowly and was lust about to raise his hat. He lifted his eyes again, and the woman to whom he was about to speak was his own mother.
 The red-haired girl was not in sight.
 Bob stamme cd. hesitated, apolo gzed, and finally ended by rushing his mother into the drug store and ordering ice cream for her.

When scouts grow up. lots of them will probably follow in the footsteps of these yodng chaps, who covered themselves with glory the other night m the play Fanny and the Servant Problem" put on by the Howard college players.
 Every scout has a desire to go to college and some of its delights al- ways include beina in amateur theat- ricals.
 These chaps are top: B. R. Justice. who took the role of the family but Ter in the play. and bottom: Herman Thomas, who played the part of the family physician.
 The play was set in lords castle where the young lady. who married the -aristocrat finds out that all of the servants in the place are akin to her. She married her husband with eut knowing he was a high flier.

America has been trained to give or- ganized. intelligent. efficient service in combating some of the worst foes to public safety.
 The national court of honor of the Boy Scouts of America. awards special medals to scouts who risk their lives trying to save others. In the 12 years of Boy ScoutvAistory, 543 such honor med als have been awarded. and many letters of commendation in addition for heroic acts involving lesser risk. These are individual heroes. The list of calamites in which whole troops of scouts have given heroic service in aiding the authorities to relieve suffering and prevent the spread of danger. is a long one. The Toms river explosion. the Pueblo and the San Antonio floods, the influenza epidemic of 1918, are merely exam pies
