PROBE WET MILDLY STORY
President Harding AS Well AS Naval
officials, Is Greatly Concerned.

The report that number OF Naval
Academy midshipmen became intoxicated
after the army-navy football game in
Philadelphia, November %, has caused
grave concern on the part of Secretary
of the Navy fenby and Admiral Wilson,
superintendent of the Academy. A wash
ington dispatch of November % says
that President Harding is also giving the
matter spe ial attention.
officials emphasized the fact that tho
Navy Department would take every pos
sible hep to correct whatever weakness
Their, VAS in the control of the midship-
moh which resulted in the drinking of
the 'ntoxicants as described in the Of
fi,ial statement to Secretary DENLY.
Tho concern of the administration as a
whole, it was said, was more particular
W II the enforcement of the Prohibition
laWs.
That task was viewed as one of many
difficulties but the President, admins
tration officials said, is determined that
the Prohibition law shall be enforced.
The fact that midshipmen could obtain
liquor in Philadelphia reveals laxity
in Prohibition enforcement in that Sec
ton that is deplorable and the situation
calls for drastic treatment.

lasted many years. In 1865 the great

'In 1887 public drunkenness was made
an offense, but the law was ineffective
Alcoholic consumption continued to in

drinking over 10 litres of distilled al

''Ihe first Prohibitive law was voted
unanimously by both branches of the
legislature in September, 1896. 1t
prohibited absinthe. From 1903 to 1912
alcohol taxes increased, and the Pro-

amongst the public, reducing the annual

but the committee of socialists and phys

that other spirits might be drunk in

I'm August, 1919, such a law was

Germany bids fair to become the first

TO ORGANIZE BOY
RANGERS HERE
F. A. Swingle Wants Names of
All Boys who Wish to
Become Rangers

In 1918 Scout Commissioners
Gray of Montclair, NJ j., invited
Emerson Brooks, now Chief GUIDE
of the Boy Rangers and member
of the National Council, to visit a
group of younger boys, which had
been holding weekly meetings und-
er the leadership of one of the To-
cal teachers. Stories were read,
told, and they marched, drilled and
played games. !.
As Scout Master and Member of
the National Council, Mr.. Brooks
belief, like many others had al
ways been, that twelve years was
the age to begin character develop
ment. Studying the situation as
developed by several visits to the
youngsters, he became more and
more convinced that the old belief
that the twelve-year age was all
wrong and that the finest founda-
ton work could be started earlier,
provided a plan could be evolved
and worked out which would at
tract and hold the interest of the
boy. Deciding that nothing could
compare with Indian Lore and at
mosphere, he resolved to adopt
this form of organization.
The Boy Ranger movement was
actually launched in January 1914
in Montclair, N. j., with total
Of six boys, their average age be
ing eight years. At this time III
Montclair alone, they now have an
enrolment Of over six hundred and
already forty-four of the states
have Ranger organizations, with a
membership of several thousand.
Rangers when twelve years Of age
are expected to become Scouts.
F. A. Swingle has accepted the
appointment as Guide and is now
receiving the names of those be-
tween eight and twelve who wish
to become Rangers. After the or
ginization is completed, the Rang
ers will be divided into tribes, such
as Sioux, Craw, Blackfoot, Paw
nee, etc, with Sachem, Chief Medi-
cine Man, Wampufn Keeper, In
dian Runner, Flag Bearers, etc.,
Will Suluc lOI SdCH IiipC wiz
will be elected by the Council.
The meeting of the tribes will be
held weekly when they will enjoy
hikes, football, basket ball and 9TH
er games, having a good time gen.
orally, but underneath this whole
movement is the effort to create
the right kind of principles govern
ing the lives Of the boys so that
when they become Scouts, it will
be continuation of the kind Of
character training to which they
have become accustomed.
The Constitution Of the Rangers
is founded on the twelve Scout
Laws, but does not duplicate them
nor do any invade the Scout field,
