The regular meeting of troop 3
was held Thursday evening, with nine
scouts present Executive Bartlett
attended the meeting and told the
boys of the plan for collecting old
tires and also spoke on the program
adopted for summer camp this. year.
The boys who are planning to at
tend camp were urged to have their
application at Scout headquarters as
soon as possible, as 1S applications
have already been received from
scouts throughout the county and it
is expected the quota for the first
two weeks period will be reached by
the end Of the month. Scoutmaster
Nichols organized the scouts to take
part in the tire collection, appoint
ing teams and selecting places where
the boys might bring their tires so
that they could be taken to the In
ternational laundry where they will
be stored until taken to Bisbee.

DALLAS WOMAN
PRESIDENT OF
NATIONAL Y. W.
(B, Dispatch A p. wlre)

MILWAUKEE,, April 26.-Mrs. John
NJ. Hanna, Dallas, Texas, was elected
president of the national Y. w. G. A.
for the coming two years, the audit
ing committee announced late today
at the convention in session here.
Other officers elected are:
Mrs. Charles w. Gilkey, Chicago,
first vice president; Mrs. Edward
Dunham, Trenton, N. j., second vice
president; Mrs. Hazel Butterfield,
Beatrice, Neb., and Miss Elsie West,
Summit, N. J., secretaries.
Attempts to limit the electorate to
members of the Protestant Evange-
lical churches failed today when the
convention refused with only 144 dis
senting votes, to accept the substi-
tute amendment that would have re-
quired voting members to profess
Jesus Christ as their savior. The ac-
tion Saturday requiring only a pledge
from, voting members that they de-
sire to enter the Christian fellowship
of the association" therefore stands
as an alternate plan for local asso-
Citations.

So If you're wise you'll give me ear.

And get repute for being wise.

With showers of bullets MADE of lead,

CRIME NEWS


When Bertram the burglar walked

And removed all the occupants had

That detectives were out on his

He buried his pelf and sequestered

Thus avoiding a season in Jail.
Which proves that the newspaper

By printing the news was encourag-

plan of finance
Was clothed with bewitching al
lure,
Went south for his health with some
millions of wealth
He had got from the credulous
But little he fancied the arm, of the
Would ever come reaching his way,
Till the news Of his deed he was
troubled to read
When he ran through the papers
next day.
The fact that he fled the next day
to Hong Kong
Proves that printing of crime news
is totally wrong.
No guile can be found in the crimi-
nal mind
Quite despite it's addiction to loot,
These gun-toting chaps when from
virtue they lapse
Entertain not fear of pursuit.
They would stay where they are till

With >their consciences wholly at

If they did not peruse every morn

And haste to escape the police.
