BOY SCOUT, HEALTH WORKER

A garbage can became the unusual theme for special appreciation of the scout spirit in a recent account by the New York Mail, of scout good turn.
 A lady of the tenements, relating the incident, says: "Yestiddy morning the bell rang an when I answered there stood a little fellow in brown suit with colored handkerchief round his neck. Say he says, you got a garbage pail out on the curb that's stopping over, without cover on 1t. You ought to have a larger one.' We'll, I told the kid that we didn't have any too much money, and what we did have didn't go to buy garbage pails every time some fresh kid wanted us to. But, you see,' he says, I'm boy scout and I'm trying to win Merit badge in public health. Now that pail of yours is open, so the flies can get into it; then they fly straight into your house and walk all over the stuff you eat with their dirty feet. Besides, it's against the law
 ".I'm sorry I says, but I have no money to get one.' He looked at me minute without saying a word and then went off. I forgot about 1t en- tirely. This morning the bell rang again, and there stood the kid holding that new pail in his hand. Here he says, showing 1t at me, the fellows in my troop want me to give this to you. We all clipped in and got it. Then he got all red in the face, saluted and ran away.
 "God bless the kid. If all them boy scouts Is like that, they're all right"

 Scouts of America.)
NEW BOY SCOUT BADGE

Blind. crippled and otherwise phy- sically handicapped boy scouts who have not been eligible to work for Merit badges because of their dis abilities prevented them from fulfill ing the requirements for second class rank and for first class rank, whence the scout is permitted to enter the fascinating Merit badge field, will be heartened in their advance in scout craft by the recent decision of the executive board of the national coun- ell to create an Achievement badge for physically handicapped scouts in recognition of certain requirements. The badge will permit them to take up with modification any of the 63 Merit badge subjects, which range from aviation to zoology and include such other subjects of boy interest as radio. wood craft, electricity, tracking, trailing, swimming, pacing, etc.
 The present decision nowise moder- ates or lowers the regularly prescribed standards of scouting; 1t rather repre- sents means by which physically disabled scouts may be encouraged to maximum achievement.
 To qualify for the Achievement badge, the scout will proceed as for second and first class rank, except that he shall also present a written application signed by a registered physician. addressed to the local court of honor, explaining the apparent physical disability which makes 1t im- possible for him to meet the prescribed requirements.
 It is further recommended that scouts making application for the new Achievement badge be encouraged to exercise their own initiative and judgment in devising and passing some test within their physical ca pacity as evidence of their scout spirit and their eagerness to develop to the fullest their abilities.
 The Achievement badge is to be in both metal and cloth. The cloth badge is to be worn on the sleeve with any Merit badge subsequently awarded.
 Because of the many appealing cases of deserving and efficient scouts, displaying in their daily lives highest ideals of scouting, but who because of physical handicaps have been hindered in official advancement in rank, the organization after special and sympathetic consideration has ar rived at the foregoing decision.

SCOUT GOOD TURNS NUMEROUS

Each boy scout Is pledged to do a good deed daily, and a half million good deeds in unison may reverberate to the very portals of St. Peters gate. Half million youngsters who can perform an act of spontaneous kind ness without thought of forthcom- ing tip would be worth a great deal, if there were nothing more. The ea- gerness with which youngsters join the boy scout organization and the loy- atty with which they uphold the scout banner, are testimony to one of the remarkable social achievements of re- cent years."-Port Townsend (Wash) Leader.

 Opportunity fools a man about as often as he takes 1t in.

 Men are not necessarily big guns because they happen to be big bores.
 The man who hasn't g. friend In the world has no one but himself to blame
 The man who insists on talking about himself soon wears out his audi ence.
 No man can be happy who has more time and money than he knows how to use.
 Don't antagonize man with a cool million, he is in a position to make 1t hot for you.
 Don't make the mistake of giving a man advice which doesn't conform to his own opinion.
 We have no use for conceit, but there's many thing every man ought to be too proud to do.

MUSIC MASTER NOW
 BECOMES COMPOSER
Conductor Of GeWandhaus Or, cheStIa Writing a Symphony

LeipSic. Dec. 12,--Will Wilhelm Furtwaenglrr, director of the Gc- wandhaus Orchestra. go down in history as another Beethoven or will his fame be limited to that Of worthy successor to Arthur Nikisch, the late conductor of the Lepslc orchestra?
 Musical circles all over Europe are debating this question ip view of FurtWaengler's decision to limit greatly the number Of concerts he will direct outside of 1.eipsic. II is an open secret that he is busy com posing, and that musical literature is to be enriched by his first s.l- phony before the concert season ur 1924-25is over
 IL took much urging on the part of his friends to persuade Furt- waengler to take this step. He is Of q modest, retiring disposition, diff dent about his own abilities and hes. liant to produce himself as a con- poser. But those who have seen two minor efforts of his a '''Tc Dcum" and string quartet, believe that he has the stuff in him to rank by the side of Beethoven, Brahms anu Strauss.
 FurtWaengler already enjoys the reputation of being one of the most able orchestra conductors in Eu- rope. When he took over the posi- ton left vacant blythe untimely death Of Arthur Nikisch in 1921. everybody was exceedingly critical Of him. Nikischs place was regard cd as one that could not be filled. After three years as director of tho LcipSiC orchestra, however, FUrt- Taenglcr has established the reputa. ton of being in every way d worthy successor to Nlkisch,
 Musical critics point out that great composers have been usually notori- ously poor conductors, and that suc- cessful conductors rarely find time to do much composing, The musical world is now waiting 10 see whether FurtWaengler will prove one of those rare gGninscs
