the troop house. The plan is working
nicely and each division has a leader
who has taken the name Of an Indian
chief. One section is led by Chief
Kokomo (Scout Theodore Kalies) and
the other group is headed by Chief Red
Feather (Scout William Langridge).
The chiefs can be addressed in no
other manner than to be called by their
Indian names during the month. The
first meeting under this new plan was
held Friday night at which time the
outing program was conducted. The
large grounds around the troop house
in Breckenridge Park made it possible
10 have a program that was thoroughly
in keeping with the plan and the
Indian pow-wow and the campfire was

A novel idea carried out by the
Scoutmaster of Troop 10 was used at
the first get-together meeting Of the
troop for the new year. Each of the
scouts received an envelope contain
ing n card on which was written this
question: "What will 1 do this year
to show my interest in scouting and
especially TO help Troop 1872, Each
scout was asked to fill out the card
and sign his name and place il back
in the envelope and seal it. Only the
scout and his Scoutmaster know what
is written on the card and it is a sure
thing that some good, work will be
done. Scoutmaster George S. Moore

patrol leader, Leroy Gass and other
officers of the troop are enthusiastic
over the excellent showing that Troop

Scoutmaster Nelson Greeman of

Stories of the Town

He was only q little fellow and it
was his first visit to church so he
really wasn't to blame for what hap
pened. Older folk might have done the
same under circumstances as strange to
them
The services opened as usual and the
little visitors attention was caught at
once. The preacher then began his ser
mon and as he waxed more eloquent
and began to emphasize his remarks be
gesteured considerably, waving both
aims above the pulpit and stressing
the -who SOS" of his text.
What more natural than the interpre-
tGtion put upon his speech and gestures
by the little fellow who saw n nice
man way up there in front, waving at
the people in the church, calling to
them, too, and never getting a response!
Surely it was up to him to encourage.
So the next time the preacher waved his
arms and said "who so" the little fel-
low waved at him and called out:
"Hoo! Hoo"
Then father removed him hurriedly
from the church while the congregation
and the preacher made strenuous efforts
to retain their gravity.

In the home Of the woman receiving
the call are two copies Of a famous
flower painting. one Of them done in
oils and framed, the other a print on

out n year or two ago by a San Anto-
Mo business man whose good taste in
advertising is indicated by the modest
manner in which his name appears in
small letters under the right hand cor
ner of the picture.
The bride admired the copy in oils
and recalled that she once had a picture
like it. She said:s
II Just adore that picture. The artist,

and does his coloring so well. think he
is perfectly wonderful"
Her attention was then called to the
other copy and she examined it closely.

The people who are too artistic

when Andrew jackson and his

a different artistic view from those of
the landscape artists Of today, who
are urging the removal of his eques-
trian statue from Lafayette Square
near the White House grounds" the
resolutions continue.
AT that time the British had
burned the White House and torn
down the American flag. And, as Jack
son was the one who restored the
White House and its flag 70 the
American people. we deem it most APP
propriate that his statue remain in
the place accorded it. by a grateful
nation who erected it in 1858, eight

feeling.
The holy see is fundamentally fav-
orable to such a reconciliation pro-
yided it can be effected in such a
manner as to reaffirm and make
manifest throughout the world the
ence of the vatican. The two "gov-
ernments" seemed 10 be drawing to-
gether. Then difficulties began.
The Fascist are frank to say that
they sought rather to break down
than to turn the difficulties. Conse-
quently, they have begun expressing
their reasons for desiring a pacifica-
ton without wells. 1t appears that
there is a desire for a revival of re-
ligious teaching in the schools be-
cause of the belief that religion is
good for the masses" and makes
them docile. Recently the Fascist
leader Farinacci asserted that, al
though he was an atheist, he favored
Premier MusSolini's vatican program
because it took the wind from the
sails of the popular party and in
creased governmental authority.
Many Catholics are absolutely Op-
posed to any reconciliation and con-
slider the present situation ideal.
Nevertheless the Fascist have grown
more friendly. When Sig. Cremonesi.
the royal commissioner for the city of
Rome, paid a public visit to the
cardinal vicar of Rome all the gov
eminent newspapers began to speak
as though reconciliation had been
realized.
1t is said that the Fascist had plan
ned great Easter celebration in St.
Peters square. The enemies of re-
Cancellation at once asked Suppose,

should enter the vatican to pay a

Rome, March 20.-"Newspapers by
exaggerating or misinterpreting facts
and speeches hope to persuade public
opinion that the Roman question is
henceforth only a historical memory
and do not notice that they are OBJ
timing the opposite results, since by
obliging the holy see to rectify and

Thus runs the conclusion of n
leading article in the Osservatore
Romano. Formally, therefore. the So
called Roman question which has
prevented friendly relations between
the Italian government and the holy
see is back where it was in 1870
and the Fascist government has re-

never concealed their belief that the
