Boy Scouts of Oakland.

Last Friday night at the home of
/. Ned Tower the beginning of Scout
Troop was formed. The boys present
were most enthusiastic over the pro-
ject as Scoutmaster Torrey unfolded
the scheme and made plans for hikes
and many good times ahead. The
Troop charter will be kept open until
December 9Th to enable any boy in
Oakland between the ages of II and
16 years to join. For the present the
troop will be limited to "a boys. The
following boys registered their names
for the troop: Ned Tower, Mitchell
Franklin, Richard Stemple, Robert
Stemple, Edwin Hamill, William Buzz
zard, Bernard Gender, James Lee,
Thomas Gender, George Altstetter.
Ned Tower was appointed acting assis-
tant scoutmaster. At this meeting
the boys were taught the scout oath,
the scout sign and the scout grip, and
the general tests for tenderfoot scout
was made known to them. In the
very near future a troop hike for test
work will be given. The next meet
ing of the troop will take place on
Friday night next at 1880 sharp, at
the home of Ned Tower. Any boy de-
string to join had better hurry and
get his name in before the list is
closed. Remember, Scouting does not
make molly coddles, but men-future
red-blooded citizens and officials in
public life.

FOREIGN BORN ARE
DRY Law VIOLATORS

Kansas City.-Fifty-fve per cent
Of the men and women arrested in
Kansas City, Kan, in the last four
years for violations of state and ma
tional prohibition laws were foreign
born, according to statistics complet-
ed on the night Of January % by
Frank Strickland, city chemist.
About 10 per cent of the population
Of the city is foreign born.
Strickland gathered his data from
the records of arrest accompanying
liquor submitted to him by the police
department for analysis. These rec
ords include the nativity Of the per-
son arrested.
There have been approximately
1000 samples submitted for analysis
during the last four years, Strick-
land said. The majority, in the last
two years, has been of home manu-
facture.
"The records show that of the for
eign, born, those from central Eu-
ropean states are the most frequent
violators of our liquor laws" Strick-
land said.
