A Medal for American Children.

In recognition of the work done
for the ohHdfen OF Belgium in the
year following the signing OF the
armistice, the Belgian Government

Junior Red Cross were carried on
in cooperation with that commit

Scout McKirrlrnie
Dies in Collapse
Of Theater Roof

The only scout to lose his life in
the Knickerbocker disaster was
Wyatt McKimmie, son Of DR.. and
Mrs. o. A. NJ. McKimmie, of the
Burlington Apartments. He was a
member of Troop 30, OF which DIR.
Edwin Kirk Is Scoutmaster. He
was a straight outstanding Scout.
He believed in Scouting, and ex-
emplified in his own living the vir-
tues it teaches. Having come up
through the ranks himself and ex-
perienced the benefits of Scout
training, he was anxious to pass
on the good to younger fellows.
So he stuck to his troop when
others dropped out; and as soon as
he was old enough. became as
sistant Scoutmaster. He was never
a strong boy: but he gave unre-
servedly of the best that was in
him. An Illustration is the occa-
sion at Camp Roosevelt a year ago
last summer when he was q junior
member of the camp staf. The
chef was obliged to leave for q
time because OF an Infected hand,
and chose Saturday and Sunday
visitors day-to do so, with a big
crowd of Scouts to tie fed. Wyatt
came to the rescue, took charge
in the kitchen, worked unceasing-
ly. early and late, and saved the
situation, not for the three days
only. but for two weeks. until the
chefs hand was back to normal.
None who were present will ever
forget the chicken dinner he helped
to prepare fot Sunday. Thought
fulness for others was the spirit of
his life. His tragic death in the
Knickerbocker disaster Saturday
night was a profound shock to all
who knew him. Ills name deserves
a memorial.

ARGENTINA WOMEN
NOW SPORTS MAD
Take Up Tennis as Substitute
For Vinegar in Fight
Against Fat.

BUENos AIRES. Feb. 11.-Year
by year Argentina's consumption OF
lemon juice and vinegar is growing
smaller. for the girls have discov-
cred that II is easier and more
pleasant to keep themselves 1.-the
and thin through outdoor exercise
than by the former system OF star
walton, doctoring and dieting. There
is more health and less fat. In a
tennis court than in a whole keg
Of vinegar, they have found.
Persons who have lived In Argen-
tina for some years have remarked
on the visible change that has
taken place in the appearance OF
the young people. more especially
in the girls. since the whole country
became sports mad. Formerly, the
girls spent most Of their time in
doors with no prospect except to
continue doing so ana to become
rounder, plumper and less active
with the passing years. Some Of
them rebelled, chose the vinegar
starvation route and ended with
yellow. suRken cheeks and ruined
digestive systems.
Then gradually Argentina seemed
by common consent to change into
country of outdoor sports. First.
the young men and boys took up
football and rowing. then their sis
tiers discovered that they too were
entitled to the freedom that comes
with outdoor games. Principally
they have chosen tennis as the best
game for them, although they also
play golf and row on the "Tigre, !"
where Buenos Aires enjoys its
water sports.

presents the spectacle of thousands

football field or the river. Fully
half OF them are women dressed in
bright sports clothes and many OF
them carrying tennis racquets or
golf clubs Not only have the
women and girls developed a love
for outdoor sports, they have also
developed a surprising aptitude for
them and play their favorite games
hard and well.

RIO DE JANEIRo. Feb. 1.-THE

spirit OF gambling was rife. Rou-

large portion ~of the population.
But now 1t is gone, though the
spirit OF gambling Is still here,
and there are many professors. A
new law has just been passed pro-

Janeiro is not considered as being.
This means that the little ball will
spin and the chips will clink only
in q few of BraziPs seaside and
mountain rendezvous where the
summer fashion displays itself.
There IL some speculation as to
whether the games may not be re-
opened here until the end of this
year, for many clubs have already
paid to the government the tax
sxacted for the entire year. Thus
II the gambling establishments are
all closed Immediately the govern
ment will have some refunding to
do. During the first few days Of
the new year sixteen Of the most
prominent clubs of the city
stopped their gaming tables, and
the rest are rapidly doing like
wise.

do Jogo," 10 at present working
overtime visiting the various clubs
to see that the new law is being
carried out He Is usually greatly
respected by the proprietors, but
sometimes they are reluctant to do
his bidding.
When DR.. Mendes arrived at the
Derby Club. one Of the most Sc
leet establishments in the city,
the doorman OF the club attempted
to prevent his entrance. An army
colonel then interviewed on behalf
Of the porter. and was promptly
arrested for his pains. Once inside,
DR.. Mendes was politely escorted

gambling salon. But half way up,
between floors. something hap
pened to the lift and it came to a
dead stop. Try as he would. the
operator was unable to repair the
damage for almost two hours,
while the irate DR.. .Mendes waited
in suspension When finally the
elevator did continue its ascent to
the salon, the roulette wheels and
baccarat tables had mysteriously
vanished, and there was no longer
gambling in the club.

Real Service Loan Funds.

Practical service through the
establishment OF revolving funds
set UP for relieving the needy but
worthy school children is being per-
formed by children of the Junior
American Red Cross in many parts
of the country. In Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and New York in the
East. and in California and wash
ington on the Pacific Coast, this
work has been carried forward In
a most systematic way. Sums OF
money are set apart from the Junior
Red Cross service fund. out OF
which eyeglasses, shoes, school
books and even scholarships may be
financed Money for these things Is
lent children who would otherwise
be compelled to leave school and
then the money is paid back In
small installments.
In Phila6elphia considerable work
has been done in providing the
scholarships, families being paid
monthly sums equal to what q child
would earn II employed during
school hours, and then. when cir
cumstances will permit, the scholar
ship money so advanced is returned
to the Junior Red Cross treasurer.
The largest single fund for pro-
viding eyeglasses and securing op-
teal treatment for school children

Greater New York. They have pro-
yided a fund Of 5000 which is used
TO aid parents in providing glasses
or in having the eyesight Of the
children corrected. Thus hundreds
OF children have been enabled to

WORK OF SCOUTS
Boys Render Great Service al
Knickerbocker Disaster,
Says General.

The Boy Scouts rendered con-
spicuous service in connection with
the work of rescue at the Knicker-

among the first organizations repre-
sented on the scene of the tragedy.
but they were continuously on the
job until the work was finished.
Scoutmaster K. r. Hall. Of troop
So. was in a store opposite the
theater when the roof crashed. and
set to work at once rescuing those
who could be reached. and then used
his knowledge of first aid to excellent
purpose in caring for the injured at
the Red Cross Station that was soon
established.
Scoutmaster Thomas A. King. Of
troop. 40, was returning from his
troop meeting, and reached the
theater half an hour after the acct
dent happened. He toiled all Sat-
urday night. and all day Sunday,
and most of Sunday night, and was
back on the job again on Monday.
Both Hall and King took occasion
as soon as possible, to call out
the scouts OF their troops, AMI
notify other scoutmasters;- so that
Sunday found as many as $50
scouts on the job. helping the
police to maintain the lines, running
errands, distributing food, and doing
the many things that scouts are
trained to do.
