Mrs. Penfield turned back into the

profound amazement. Jerry Winston
had risen and was still holding an
attitude of listening, of thoughtful
absorption. She tried In vain to recall

Lorene that could have had signif-

There was sound of running wa

to the living-room. In her right hand
she swung an old agate teakettle.
"She's a peachI" declared Lettie
triumphantly. "She don't leak. Look

The child's gaze followed the direc-

water had percolated through the OBJ

escape. The teakettle had become

BOY SCOUTS AID CITY

With the preparedness that has
gained for them the nations conf
dence, boy scouts have again rendered
significant aid in time of disaster. In
the recent s12,000.000 fire that swept
the business section of Astoria, Ore,
and left $500 people homeless, every
active troop Of boy scouts and every
scout who has been a member of the
organization since 1916, were on duty
throughout the night and assisted In
guard, errand and messenger service.

BOY SCOUT ROUNDUP RESULT

For about three months past, the
Boy Scouts OF America in every part
of the country have been engaged In
what Is known as the Anniversary
Roundup. The main purpose was to
make this program OF scouting, which
stands for character building and
citizenship training, available to more
boys In the country. In fact. a def
mite increase OF twenty-five per cent
net gain was aimed at, which would
bring the membership OF scouts up to
the half million mark, exclusive OF
the 128.0O0 men who are giving serv-
Ice to this cause.
Although the main impetus Of this
drive was supposed to take place
during February to Is, the Thir-
teenth Anniversary Week Of Scouting.
and possibly the termination Of the
specified period then. the following
information is forthcoming from the
National Council office of the Boy
Scouts of America
The report to the National Execu-
tive board Of tho chief scout execu-
tive states:
",rhe Roundup has proven to be the
most progressive and stimulating
thing yet undertaken by the Boy
Scouts Of America. 1t has placed the
scout movement before the general
public perhaps more effectively than
at any other one period In the history
Of the movement. 1t has caused all Of
our membership to think more def
nitely of the necessity Of reaching
more boys AS far as results are
concerned, at this time 1t is impos-
sible to say definitely what the net
results are. AS to how many troops
and how many local councils have
actually earned the award Of the
presidents streamer for going over
the top with 25 per cent increase is
not yet known. From all sources there
is evidence of a keen desire In Sc
curing the full net increase set up as
the original objective, namely 100000
more boys. Although not more than
10000 to $4,000 of this net increase
has actually been reported to the
national office so far, 1t is known,
from reports that have come in and
from personal conferences In the field,
from one end of the country to the
other, that this represents but a por-
ton of the net increase, which viii
eventually be reported to the national
Office"
Therefore, the executive board
unanimously adopted the recommends
ton that the time of the Roundup be
extended until the full 100000 net In
crease has been secured, with the
understanding that the presidents
streamers are to be awarded to all
councils which have already qualified,
and as soon as they qualify, until
period when records show 100, 900 net
increase.
It Is believed that this plan VIII
serve to meet the equitable claims OF
many localities, where because Of sick
ness and other difficulties not I'M
reasonable In depending so largely
upon volunteer leadership, registra-
lions could not be completed by Feb

and at the same time In no way de-
tract from the prestige and honor OF
those who have actually earned the
right Of award with the time origi-
nally specified.

are going without a Doubt

Great Falls and Shelby at Odds

GREAT FALLS, Mont, June 16-
It's just chance that Shelby puts
over the Dempsey Gibbons fight for
the championship on the afternoon
OF July 4. The second installment
Of 500, 900 to the manager Of Jack
Dempsey will be paid this after
noon. Dempsey's manager win not
recede a single inch or a single
nickel.
The folks of Great Falls who APP
pear to have taken over the fight
are not willing to let the mayor
OF Great Falls, Jim Johnson, par
ticipate in the thing in the slightest
way, and there you are. A contract
ID q contract, they say, which 10
entirely 90.
AS Tar as Great Falls IL con-
cerned the town put up the sum OF
$4,000 to see the thing pulled off.
Some mighty good fellows gathered
privileged to get in with any pos
sible profits of the contest They
were merely In on the genearl dis.
tribution of the tickets, which was
pretty bad. They got some tickets
in the thirtieth row and let it go
at that.
After that what happened? The
Great Falls people were asked to
finance the thing to the limit. The
Great Falls people thought they
had done enough and when called
upon to do something more they
insisted upon final management Of
the affair.
They insisted that Mayor John
son, Of Shelby, be declared out, and
all the rest Of them, and IL they
financed the situation that this stu
alton would have to prevail. It il
understood that johnson was the
only one who stood pat and refused
totally to get out of the combination.
The real fellow that they want
to get into the combination is Walter
Ringing, a young man who owns
big sheep ranch up around Boze-
man, OF this part OF the country,
and was some time back quite will
ing to meet the promoters half way
and give them all of the financial
assistance that they needed.
Ringing was brought back into
the proposition when it was stated
that four Of the bankers Of this
town were quite willing to go ahead
with the proposition OF finding the
additional Dempsey money IL Ring
ling would furnish the remainder Of
the money.
Up to late hour last night it was
not known whether Ringing would
do this as his ranch at Bozeman,
about 1875 miles from this place, and
in a rather isolated spot, could not
be reached on the long distance
phone. His name is Walter Ring
ling, and he is a son Of ALI. of the
famous family of circus brothers.

On June Ia, 1922, Harry Wills
posted his forfeit of $4,000 with
the New York boxing commission
and officially challenged Jack
Dempsey for the worlds heavy
weight crown. So far as known,
that forfeit money is still in the
keeping of the commission.
Jack Kearns hurried to New
York, and greatly to the surprise
of the world, signed an agree
ment for a Dempsey Wills bout
under the jurisdiction Of the New
York boxing commission.
Then, though not officially, the
commission, through Chairman
Muldoon, intimated that sanction
for the bout would not be forth
coming, as it was opposed, to
mixed contests. It probably
meant mixed bouts involving the
title, as various such bouts have
continually been staged in New
York, all with the sanction of the
On July FL, 1922, Charlie
White, of Chicago, challenged
Benny Leonard for the light
weight championship, posting the
required check for $4,000 with
his challenge.
Jack Dempsey has yet to be
notified by the New York COM
mission that Harry Wills, by vir-
tue of his posted challenge and
forfeit money, has risen to the
championship.
Benny Leonard has yet to be
declared incompetent to hold the
title. Charlie White has never
been informed officially by the
commission that he is the light
weight titleholder.
Sailor Freedman, of Chicago,
challenged Benny Leonard on
January 3, 1923. He posted his
check for $4,000. He has heard
nothing about it since.
Now comes Lew Tender,
angling for a bout with Leonard
for the lightweight championship
of the world and the commission
says nothing, absolutely. nothing
about the prior challenges of
Charlie White or Sailor Freed
man.
Commission control, that is, the
principle, is excellent for the
proper handling of the game, but
the peculiar methods pursued by
the New York State Commission
are puzzling to those watching
from the outside.
1t all seems to depend.
