Boy Scout News

Through the necessity of being
closer to his business in Philadel-
phia, William Jenkins, Scoutmaster
of the New Hope Troop, has re-
signed the post. His moving has
left a gap in the troop that will
be hard to fill, according to Mr..
Livermore, the District Director. As
a leader of boys, with his high ideals
of fair play and doing good turn
every day, "Pop," as Mr.. Jenkins
was called by the boys, will be
sadly missed. However, he promises
to be with them next summer at
Camp Pahaquarra. Harrison Hart,
assistant scoutmaster, is in charge
until new scoutmaster can be
secured.

fined to his home with illness, and

WHICH ONLY GOES TO PROVE
THAT PRESENT PR0HIBI-
TION is A FAILURE

You will note DR.. Mayo said that
prohibition is "an experiment lead
ing to the institution of an establish
ed means of governmental control.
And that is just what is needed.
General Andrews, Director of Prohi-
bition Enforcement, said last week,
"Ninety per cent of all the alco-
hol which finds market under the
label of "booze' is reclaimed de-
natured alcohol"
And it is this poison booze which
is killing hundreds of people. This
Is one of the reasons why there
shosld be governmental control which
will modify the Volstead regulations
and at the same time eliminate the
poison booze which is flooding the
country.
Also DIR. Mayo says that a change
is bound to come from the present
state of prohibition and adds that
the "change must first take place In
the hearts of the people" And that
is right. This paper has consistently
contended that what we need most
of all is education and enlighten-
ment to produce real moderation.
Legislation cannot take the taste
from peoples mouths. THERE MUST
BE CHANGES IN THEIR HEARTS.
And until that change has taken
place in the hearts of the people,
prohibition will continue to be
failure.

that are somewhat Of mystery.
These are large egg shaped hollow
stones, filled with perfectly fine,
white, sand, very dry, showing they
were air tight. The shells are about
y of an inch in thickness and Of a
black color and resembling iron ore
in texture, any number Of them and
all filled with sand, showing they
had been subjected to a tremendous
heat at some time and must have
been made by the Indians at some
E period long ago, or originated from
some volcanic eruption. These were
found in Southern Oklahoma, abou
