Get this straight! This picture

The story takes the audience to
London, Paris, the Alps, Algeria and
other parts of the globe, and intro
duces the star as the daughter of a
poor, but aristocratic English fam
lily, who is married off by the folks
to an elderly millionaire from the
colonies. Of course the marriage is
loveless one. On the honeymoon
the girl is rescued from a ledge to
which she has fallen while mountain
climbing, by an attractive nobleman.
It's love at first sight. The rest of
the story is taken up with the lords
efforts to possess the fair heroine
for his own. These efforts take one
through maze of passionate scenes
with the opera in London, the noun
atins in Switzerland, the gardens at

SCOUT NEWS

Troop No. have changed their
meeting night from Mondays to Fri
day nights in order that Troop No. 2
may use the Little Nursery building
on Monday nights for their meets.
Troop No. met Friday night with
a very interesting meet, Assistant
Scout Master Geo. R. Black presid-
ing. Many discussions were made,
among which was an address from
President Geo. r. Hilty. Two new
scouts were received and became real
Boy Scouts of America from that of
pribly scouts, they being Lamar G.
Warren and j. Walter Mitchell Nc
Mahan, having become of the reouir-
ed age in accordance with the rules
and regulations of national headouar-
tiers. Hurrah for you, boys. We are
glad to see two more boys added to
the great scout organization, as well
as our president to look down upon
you each with honor, pride and re-
spect.
Another interesting feature was
the organization of a scout football
team composed of the following
scouts of Troop No. /: Everett J.
Hilty, Buster Rogers, Harry de Mont
mollin, Jack Hedgers, Charles
Stumpe, Milton Comick, Nathan
Harris, Kennith Dingee, Albert Wal

tive that all scouts must attend their
meets unless prevented through sick
ness or other vital reasons of par
ents. So, scouts, turn out next Fri
day night full and strong. President
Hilty and his committees are arrang-
ing to accomplish much for you.
There will be November celebra-
ton, and in the meantime it has been
suggested that we have another pic
