SCOUTS AND THE TIGER"

Frances "T1ger" is for the boy

At n time when Cemenceau was
passing through AIsace he came across
q group of couts on q hike. The ex-
premier stopped the sturdy lads and
after a few words Of praise on the
work they were doing for ia Patrie"
and future citizenship. inquired, do
you know who it Is that Is talking to
you?"
One lad stepped forward and with 4
salute said, Eyes sir, You're the Tiger
and we're the Tiger Patrol"
Said ~Clemenceau, I've always want
ed to be a boy scout. Perhaps there
is an opening here7"
When the tiger patrols throughout
France heard OF this they clamored for
the illustrious member. also. and now
the veteran statesman is enrolled In
every patrol bearing this name.

Attribute Their Success to
Newspaper Advertising

In an Interview today. Mr.. Warren
Wright, President of the Calumet
Baking Powder Company, strongly adj
vocated the use of newspaper adver
Using. and points to Calumet's sue
cess as proof of his statement.
Calumet sales are pa times as
much as any other brand" stated Mr..
Wright, land we attribute this to our
lavish use of newspaper space. We
believe that the newspaper is the most
direct medium we can use In getting
u message across TO the housewife,
and we know from u experience GOV
ering thirty years that the housewife
will respond to newspaper advertis-
ing quicker than she viii to any other
form of advertising.
1.-The housewives have confidence In
newspaper advertisements because
they know that the newspapers set up
high standards for their advertisers.
1t is for that reason that the house
wife looks to the newspaper for in
on products in which she
is Interested"

SCOUTS
FATHER AND SON ARE SCOUTS

The story of q father who In his
big-souled way formed a partnership
with his scout son, ITO work together
In scouting" and who both recently
received the highest award of rank,
the Eagle badge. at a court of honor In
Salt Lake City. Is a remarkable testi-
mony of the spirit of comradeship
that the work me play of scouting
develop between a boy and his
dad.
"One day." says this father, "my boy
said TO me In a joking way. Dad. why
don't you try and get some merit
badges IL they look so easy to your
told him l could get as many as he.
so we started out. He would go to
one examiner and l to another for the
same merit badge, and for a while IL
was nip and tuck between us. but the
new school Of learning was getting
the better Of the old way with which |
was familiar. One day we made up
our minds to work together. We did
not always agree on the same subject
1--WE would lot have been father and
son IL we had), but In the end we got
our badges.
I'm addition 1 have found q son
that likes to let me know he thinks his
dad Is the only man In scouting. and |
think my boy will grow up to be a real
scout-one that can be depended upon.
l have found the fountain of youth
since becoming a scout, because a man
never grows old II he mixes with
younger boys. l believe there is no
greater religion than to be of service
to the boys. God bless the man
who thought of scouting, and God
bless the men who keep 1t up"
