The Lincoln is car Of extreme accuracy.
In its manufacture there are more than
5000 mechanical operations in which the
deviation from mean standard is not per-
mitted to exceed one one-thousandth of an
inch! There are more than 1000 in which
| it is not permitted to exceed one-half of one
one-thousandth! And there are more than
! 800 not to exceed quarter of one one
thousandth! Eight parts receive opera
tions on which even this fine limit is re-
| duced Such mechanical accuracy is not to
be found IN dasy other motor car.
Lincoln owners will tell you, to man,
| that their cars have not only met every ex-
pectation but that they have exceeded them.
Punishment equivalent to ten years of hard
service in the hands of owners was meted
out to the Lincoln models before the car was
placed in the hands of the public.
There is but one way for you to -appre-
ciate the Lincoln. See it, study it carefully,

GERMAN BOY SCOUTS

1t is reported that the German scout
organization, hitherto known as Der
Pfadfnderbund, has applied for afliia-
tion with the International scout body
which will convene for the second con-
ference in Paris next July. The only
question involved will be whether or
not the German organization is will
ing to follow genuine scout lines as
practiced in the British empire, United
States and elsewhere rather than the
militaristic type which 1t originally
adopted. Lord Hampton, assistant
chief commissioner of the British

MOST POPULAR SCOUT BADGES

For the past five years the most pop
ular merit badges among scouts have
been those In public and personal
health, swimming fremunship and first
aid, though sometimes one and some
times another leads the list. During
1921, public health was the most popu-
lar 7,4Gj scouts qualifying in that sub
ject In the one year, whereas 1895
qualified in personal health. 7,141 In
firemanship, 6,620 In swimming and s.
S37 in first aid. 1t Is noteworthy that
every one of these five popular badges
are those on subjects which constitute
marked steps in the making of Il
healthy, responsible and helpful citi-
zenry.
In spite of the greater stringency Of
demands made by the national court
OF honor In the cases Of llfe-savlng ap-
plications, the number Of medals
awarded during 1921 for conspicuous
service was greater than ever before,
t0tallng 147, against % of the past
year and 55 Of the year before. Three
gold medals were awarded as follows:
Thomas ii. Robinson, Camden, N. j.;
Howard Rate Of Vineland, n. j.. and
Henry A. Skilton of Wilmington, Del.
Scout Robinson lost his life in saving
that of his friend.
Henceforth there will be only one
type Of medal awarded by the national
court Of honor in place of the three
grades Of gold, silver and bronze hith.

will be worked out in gold, was de-

that territory was in possession OF
Spain. AT the beginning of the Nine
teenth century they had about 20
towns. How many Seminoles there
were cannot be said with certainty.
They possibly numbered4,000 The Sem
inoles were accused Of depredations on
the Georgia border and of receiving
slaves from Georgia and.the Caroinas.
Spain paid no attention to complaints
from Americans.
During the War of 1872 the British
built a fort on the Appalachicola
river. They then abandoned II to the
Indians and negroes. 1t became known
as "Negro Fort Gen. Il. Z. Gaines
found pretext for attacking 1t and
blowing 1t to pieces, killing or wound
ing all of its defenders. This led to
massacres by the Indians by way of
reprisal.
In 1918 Gen. Andrew Jackson head
ed an expedition into the Seminole
country, attacking all Indians, whether
or not under arms. He put to death
two British leaders. Arbuthnot and Am
brister, whom he charged with incit-
Ing and aiding the Indians. He took
Pensacola and deposed the Spanish
government. A treaty was made with
Spain, under which, in 1921, Florida
was purchased for S5,000,000.
Conflicts with the Semlnoles per-
sisted, however. In 1884 a treaty was
made by which the Seminoles agreed
TO move west of the Mississippi. Later
the Seminoles claimed that they had
been tricked and refused to move to
the lands allotted to them.
Osceola, one of the Seminole chiefs,
began the second Seminole war in
1885. A month later Maj f. L. Dade |

One cannot help wonder If there Is
truth In the claims of some historians
and psychologists that the Seminoles
are descendants of q race whose roots
go back to the beginning of history.
Here lies the real interest in the Sem
mole Indian.
1t Is without doubt long flight
from the palmetto-thatched wigwam
of the Seminole Indian In the Ever
glades of Florida to the tents Of early
Palestine or the temples of ancient
Egypt. But far-fetched as the idea
may be, and long the flight, 1t is easily
made If one is gifted with an mag
nation. 1t requires little search to
enable one to find clues that some
writers declare are good ones, TO en-
able one to trace the lineage of the
barefoot Indian that strolls the streets
of Miami to the halls of the Monte
yuma of Mexico and thence to Egypt
or Palestine.
There IS much about the Seminole
that differs from the redskin of the
West. There Is much that savors of
the Hebrew in the days when the book
of Levitcus laid down the rules of
health for his guidance. The Seminole
might have copied from the Mosaic
laws, according TO those who know
him best, so much alike are his rules
concerning these things.
Archeologlsts, delving into the ruins
of ancient Mexican temples and explor-
ing its pyramids, have found many
things similar to others found in the
ruined temples of Egypt and the pyra-
mids of that land, and have asso-
ciated the Seminoles with both.
We are told that when Cortez con-
quered Mexico certain tribes left that
land, and for years wandered along
the gulf coast and finally made their
appearance in Alabama, where they
were given the name Creek.
The Creeks finally worked their way
into Georgia and after many years the
Seminoles separated from them and
moved into Florida to escape the op-
preston of the whites.
In their march along the gulf coast,
the Mexican tribes were joined by and
with other tribes native
10 the country through which they
passed. 1t is therefore presumed by
some historians that the Semin0les,
who severed relations with the other
indians were the original wanderers;
he name Seminole Is said to mean
yanderer.
Some writer's point to the fact that
here are in Mexico many pyramids,
md that the only other country In
which pyramids are found is Egypt.
his, they think, indicates that the
Iztecs and Egyptianss had the same
0mmon origin.
If the assertions of these writers
re founded on fact, the Seminole In.
