SAFETY FACTOR
Boy scout Hss Important Place in Conservation of M0ieru Life Acts as Tranic Cop and Fireman.

Chicago. Feb. S.--The Boy Scout is now an important fsftgr in the con. scr,stion of human fife.
 1 The scout movement, generally as- soriated ptth sn education in wood craft and outdoor Iifs.. and the pris- cirles of right living. has broadened out to include 6 widespread psrtici- [ patton in public service.
 Your modern Boy Scout plays an ! important part in nearly every big city's traffic educational campaigns and safety drives. He is co-opera- ting every day with the National safsty council here and with it's local branches throughout the coun- try.
 Traffic Cop
 In many cities he ac,s as traffic cop. after school hours and in Naca- tions. at corners where regular affi- cers gre not assigned. He teaches hi. schooimates ihe principle of safety in the homo and in play. He is rersed in the .rt Of first sid. fn fact. he has become the right hand man Of the national safety movement.
 The National Safeiy Council con- ducts a year-round educational cam paign on safety in homes. in indus trial plants and in the streets. In the last few ycars it has broadened ifs activities to include safety in- struction in the schools. 1t believes the best way to reform careless America" is through the younger generations. And it is here that the Boy Scout has given invaluable aid. He is the evangelist of safety.

SCOUT MOVEMENT IN
 ITS SIXTEENTH YEAR
But Started in United States Only IA Years Ago Under Dan Beard

Washington, Feb. S.-Organized for the training of boys between F and IS in self-reiance, manhood and good citizenship, the Boy Scout movement was begun in England in 1908 by General Sir Robert s. s. Baden-Pow- .cll.
 Sir Robert was impressed by the fact that 45 per cent of the boys in England were growing up without any knowledge of useful occupations. His idea of organizing these boys at once received popular support, and within awo and one-half years after the movement started, 15o,c0O boys had been enrolled.
 United States Joins
 At this time there were two or ganizatiohs in the United States, both of which were founded for the gen eral purpose of character building among boys. One, founded by Ernest Thompson Seton, was called Wood craft Indians; the other, founded by Dan c. Beard, was named the Sons Of Daniel Boone. In 1910 both merged under the title of Boy Scouts and htTt lIiiS tliys
 The aim of Boy Scouts is to sup plement existing educational agencies and promote the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others. Each scout unit or body is known as a patrol and selects a leader from among its members. Several patrols form troop. which is commanded ly an appointed adult scoutmaster.
 Three Glasses
 Scouts arc divided into three classes: Tcndcrfeet, second class and first class. A first class scout must be able to swim 80 yards, must have at least s2 in n savings bank, must be able to go on foot or row boat well to point seven miles away and re. turn. He has to describe or show tho proper means of saving life in various kinds of accidents. must be able 10 cook various dishes satisfactorily, use an ax and Judge distance, size and anmbors within 25 per cent of error
 His creed is honor, loyalty, unsel- ilshness. friendship, courtesy, kind. ness to animals obedience to parents, gentloness, thrift and hatred of snob- bishness. Such is the Boy Scout.

She walked around the block
one night before going on duty.
The bay was dark with shadows
crowding down like armies from

shimmery path through the water
She watched it; the thought Of
lifelong aloneness became real
like a sentient thing in her
mind.
She had regarded this many
times but never before felt it's

spoken Of it often to her thought
but never with a lucid and inner

all its blasting experience, had
dwelt her young, glowing faith
in life and it's beauty. And its
love.

this feeling. She was glad, in q

done much to tighten memories:
much to keep the heart in her
