SCOUT SAVES COMPANION

On the day of the following rescue,
Harold Beal, thirteen-year-old scout
Of Westerly, N. Y, was in swimming
with five companions when one of the
boys became exhausted while beyond
his depth, and sank beneath the sur.
face. Beal saw his chum's predica-
ment and started to swim towards the
boy, who had come to the top and
gone under the second time. When he
came to the surface Beal grabbed him
by the hair and started to pull him
toward the shore. Another lad of
the party attempted to help Beal but
was pulled under by the struggles of
the half-drowned boy, and Beal had to
complete the rescue alone. When the
rescuer and the rescued reached land
the latter was resuscitated by methods
taught the troop in their life saving
work and soon the lad was able to go
to his home without assistance Scout
Beal is an extremely modest hero and
the story of the rescue would never
have been told were it not for some
of the witnesses who insisted the boys
heroism be made known to his scout
leaders.

Much is found that quickly sells.
Her curios and missions are indeed
so quaint
They inspire the artist with brush
and paint.
There are no bed bugs nor any fleas,
Hence, people may sleep where'er
they please,
Which they mostly do in open air,
When the weather is good and fair.
Where free from the mosquitoes noise
and sting.
Life is made charming in summer
and spring.
Transient clouds in their wondering
flight
Seldom give rain from their lofty
height.
Her many wild animals on cliffs and
caves
Give sport to the hunters and her
native braves.
Chills and fevers are but seldom felt
In regions round her mountain belt.
Her petrified forest and canyon
grand
Are works of nature. heaven planned.
While her atmosphere gives magsc
aid
To weakened lungs that are decayed.
Her cactus plants with bristled arms
Are included in her desert charms.
Her wealth in minerals has oft been
told,
Composed of copper. silver and gold.
This baby state, tho fifth in size,
To summit heights would quickly
rise
If her grandeur were but better
known,
Which dormant lies within her zone.
Redolent in splendor and matchless
in cline,
Where nature thrills and melodies
chime;
She bids to the east and beckons the
west
To come to her borders for haven
and rest.
Cowboys on their bronchos ride
In paltry garb, but stately pride.
Hillsides swarm with cattle herds,
As harvest fields with marauding
birds.
Little or no moisture in the air
Makes breathing a comfort every.
where.
Mild zephyrs in mid-winters blow,
Bewitched, it seems, with wanton
glow
Her warmth in summer quite true is
real,
But a hundred degrees you scarce
can feel;
While way back east such weather
kills,
But nowhere here in Arizona hills

STUDY SCOUTING IN SCHOOLS

The value of the boy scout move
ment in citizenship training has caused
the board of education, Atlanta, Ca,
to embody a course on scouting in the
school curriculum. The work will be
given in the fifth, sixth and seventh
grades in the form of a course in civics
based on the scout movement. Study
of the course will not entitle students

 Chicago authorities wired New Or leans police requesting the couple be arrested and stating that Lee was wanted on a charge of theft of an automobile. Their message also re- quested the arrest of a possible woman companion and the seizure of any automobile Lee might have in his possession.
 Miss Leonard was not implicated in the Chicago telegram as being a party to the alleged automo bile theft.
 When questioned at headquarters Lee denied the charge and declared he was sure he was the victim of a mistake.
 The couple said they would waive extradition and return to Chicago.
 .I am positive the authorities there have made a mistake and that we will be released on our arrival" Lee declared.

KEEPING OF B0ARDERS| IS MENACE TO FAMILY| LIFE, PROFESSOR SAYS

BOSTON, Feb. 18.--The keeping of boarders should be subject to license or permit; it is so much menace ing the practice might be advisable in the opinion of Professor George La sPiana, of Harvard university. In the light of his observations in the crowded tenements of the North End district of the city, he said in an address to workers of the Family Welfare society, the boarder in cer tain types of homes must be regarded as an influence for evil.
 In such cases, under conditions of license or restriction, Dr. La Piana said, boarders would be compelled to leave houses in which their presence constituted moral or hygienic dan ger. The small amount of money lost each week by the family as a result could well be made up by the well fare society, he added.
 .The greater number of families who keep boarders do not do it as business" he said. but merely to homes are very small, having three or four rooms, one set. aside for be arders. As many boarders are kept as beds can be squeezed into that room. The kitchen is usually living room. dining room and kitchen com bined, shared by family and boarders alike. The boarders when they are not working, sit in the kitchen play ing cards, while the children play and the women work around them .

SWEDEN POLICE FORCE IS BEING RE0RGANIZED

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 1S.--A nation wide reorganization of the whole po- lice system in Sweden, and the placing of all policemen under gov ernment direction, has been recom- mended by National Counsellor Sig frid Linner after an investigation of two years which he has conducted at the request of the government. The revolutionary scheme of putting To- cal guardians Cf the peace under the control of the state will, it is eX- pected. guarantee a more efficient personnel and result in direct bene- fits for the policemen themselves.
 Under the proposed new system there will be a commissioner of police in each of the 25 counties of Sweden. This commissioner and the chiefs su- hordinate to him will be employed directly by the government. Patrol men may be ordered to serve any where :n the kingdom, and one com missioner may call upon another for extra police forces for his county, demand which must be granted so long as the levy does not endanger the county. The organization or reor- ganization of local police depart ments must be carried through by the city CT community concerned, but all such plans must be indorsed by the state.
 The chief advantages to the in-~ dividual members of the police forces. will he state pensions and wider opportunities for promotion, since men of ,the best records and great est ability need not be restricted to their efiginal district.

 IF PL0T 0F ETS
Anderson Charges Great At tempt Being Made to Break Down Prohibition Laws
 of Nation

YoNKERs, N. r.. Feb. 1s.-william H. Anderson. state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of New York, charged today In his annual presen- tation at the Central Methodist Epis- copal church, that a plot was afloat to "get him" and the leagues board and reduce the organization to the status of kept" concern.
 He declared that tho wet forces were attempting to effect his re- noval by throwing up a smoke screen" around his alleged financial irregularities to hide tho move.
 q do not intend to be crushed, run out, intimidated or sileneed by any bunch of vets, whether rich or poor, silk stockinged or rough neck, or any set of pseudo-dr who want to do dry work in manner that is acceptable to tho wets," MT. Ander- son said.
 Instigate Charges
 The wet forces, he charged, had selected a critical time in which to instigate the charges against him, made for the purpose of stampeding the league supporters and "the nerve of it's board" He said the move was intended to cause those supporting the league financially to withdraw their support and it was planned to repeal the state dry laws while the league and its forces were in con- fusion.
 ,rh. -.4 5;etz h. eai5 t,ad deliberately misstated the amounts contributed by the Rockefellers to the league. He said that they had never contributed s100.00e as had been stated and said that Raymond Fosdick, legal representative for the Rockefellers, had indicated the "in tention and effort to change the policy of the league and to eliminate him as superintendent" Rockefellers Mentioned
 T do not believe that the Rocke- fellers are responsible for or will approve this vicious assault upon the league board, because the board re- fused to accept dlctation from an employe of wealthy men whose spirit he utterly misrepresented," he continued. IHe bOCkclellcT COltIioutioHS, hc said, had not exceeded 10 per cent of the total league revenues during the current year and asserted that 70 per cent of the total came from sub scriptions from 50,000 people.
 "The Anti-Saloon League serves notice again." he said, that no per son can give 1t cent of money and in consd iteration thereof have any voice whatever in the management of the league"
 The league, he asserted, had gained in power because of the charges made against him; had increased it's num- Der of speakers in churches, and con- tributions from these sources had trebled over year ago.
