A FIRST-CLASS TROOP

Troop ] of WestbOro, Mass, has
none but first-class scouts in its men,
berShip of % boys. Five Of these are
also Star scouts. The troop had the
honor of being awarded the silver cup
conferred by the Algonquin council
for all-round efficiency in scouting and
has been granted permission by the
governors of the local country club
to establish within the limits of the
club property bird life sanctuary and
haven for wild life generally. The
territory included covers about 80
acres. The sanctuary project has the
sanction of the state department of
conservation under the direction of
which it will be carried out. This troop
is also one of the successful pagers"
having recently been successful in find
ing young man, who, temporarily
insane, had wandered away from home
and baffled the efforts of the police t.
locate him.

SCOUT TRACKS OWN BICYCLE

Bruce E. Cox, thirteen-year-old
boy scout of Detroit, woke up one
morning to find his beloved bicycle
missing A scout knows how to track
and trail," and having first notified
the police of the theft, young Cox set
out to recover the property. He found
the track of the wheel in the moist
earth near the garage. Found also a
man's-sized footprints. The footprints
disappeared in the alley. Deduction
No. 2: At this point the man-sized
person began to ride the wheel. For
two blocks the amateur Sherlock
Holmes traced the bicycle tracks. At
the door of the private garage the
tracks stopped. Inquiry of the owner: !:
Anyone put bicycle in your ga
rage?" "Why, yes" was the answer
Yesterday d. Z. w. workman asked
If he could store some tools here and
today he left bicycle" 1t was easy
enough to prove the real owners claim
to the wheel. They are stiTl looking
for the thief, but Bruce doesn't care
whether they find him or not. He has
the bicycle, thanks TO his own keen
mother wit and scout training.

CALIFORNIA GOOD TURNS

A scout on duty at the California
Industries exposition, noticed that
some temporary wiring in the Civic
auditorium looked hot. Touching 1t
gingerly he found it was quite as hot
as 1t looked. he reported the matter
and an examination proved that the
wires were overloaded. The trouble
was repaired and damage avoided.
Two San Francisco scouts put out a
fire in an apartment house. In the
same city lady driving up a steep
bill discovering that the car had en-
glne trouble got out to investigate,
~he car began to roll down hill. A
passing scout jumped in. put on the
brakes and stopped the machine.

II you are one OF those persons

hair every week. wash II in luke

shampoo with hot water weakens

tract actively. then the oil over
flows. and you have excessively
oily hair for several inches from
the scalp. and then dry and brittle

open pores and make the hair
