Great OutpOuring Expected At
The JambOree In Washing
ton Next Summer
SCOUT AWARDED MEDAL
FOR MERITORIOUS WORK

Invitations sent to Boy Scout or
CARNATIONS of 70 different lands have
already brought assurances that the
thousands of American boys at the
National Scout Jamboree in Washing
ton next June 80 to July will be
hosts to foreign contingents.
Great Britain plans to send so
Scouts and several leaders. Rouman-
ia will send a picked patrol of eight
Scouts; Poland will be represented by
"a Scouts, and Canada and Mexico
each plan to send full Troop of thir
ty-three boys. Other countries plan
ming to send contingents are Vene-
zuela, Chile, Colombia, Bermuda, Pol
and, Denmark, Switzerland, Hungary,
Luxembourg, India and Ceylon.
Boys who become Eagle Scouts, the
highest rank in their organization
have better chance of securing good
positions in the business world, if a
letter received by the Scout Executive
at Appleton, Wis, from a large in
surance company, can be taken as an
indication in that direction.
The letter requested list of young
men who became Eagle Scouts be-
tween 1921 and 1929, to be consider
ed for a high position now open in
that company.
It said in part, "Our purpose in
asking for this list is one Of increas-
ing our personnel and we do so for
the reason that we know Eagle Scouts
are held in high esteem and should
furnish the caliber of individual that
we wish to have working in our or
ganization."

Barre, Pa, has been awarded gold
medal by the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Forests and Waters for his
meritorious service in fire protection
work in the Lackawanna State For

George Writ, veteran head of the
states Division of Forest Protection
said that Kaufman's work represented
some of the finest individual effort
that has ever come to his attention.

Joseph's coat of many colors had
nothing on the cabin of the Ocean
City, N. j., Boy Scouts.
The Scouts conceived the novel idea
of saving money by shingling their
cabin with old automobile license tags.
They started with 3,499 tags and have
700 left over in case they build an an
mex.
The license plates, dating back as
far as 1911, are from eight states.
They were collected by the Scouts who
secured through the garages and at
tics of their friends and found plates
saved for no apparent reason over a
long period of years. The shingles
after being placed over heavy tar
paper have been painted to prevent
rust.

Cain, Lawrence WEIGH, R. Buck,
and Edison Wood. They won this
championship from Mr.. and Mrs.
Culbertson's team by the mar
rowest margin in history, one
quarter of match.
The Play.
Mr.. Cain was declarer. West
opened the king of diamonds and
then shifted to heart, which de-
clarer won with tbs nine spot. A
small diamond was ruffed with
the ten of hearts.
Declarer returned to MS hand
by playing club and winning
with the ace. The ten of dia-
monds was ruffed with the king
of hearts.
Now, declarer had the choice
of two plays. He could hope for
a club break by playing the king
of clubs and following with a small
club. This would establish dunn
my's jack of clubs, upon which
the losing spade could be dis
carded.
Or, declarer could play the ace
and 10 Of spades, hoping to find
East with the king jack.
Mr.. Cain, however, decided on
the club break and, if this failed.
he could always resort TO the
spade finesse. This line of play
worked and of course, the contract
was made without taking either tht
club or spade finesse.

my imagination run away with me.
I'm developing into horrid, suspi-
cious wife Not the kind of wife for
a doctor to have. Every physician
in the world goes out in all kinds
of weather, at all hours, to see pa
tients. Perhaps it never occurred
to Scott that I'd be interested"
But the unhappiness remained.
There had been something just
family familiar in the voice over
the telephone. Some foreign quail
ity. Surely, Dana had heard that
voice before. Where?
Suddenly the answer came. 1t
was Charlotte - Paula's house
keeper.
In the darkness Dana breaShed
quickly. She could feel the rush of
blood to her face. She didn't want
to believe it was Charlotte, yet she
vas almost certain about it.
Dana went to the telephone and
oialed Paula's number with fingers
that shook slightly. A woman's
voice, the same womans voice, an
swered.
Dana, controlling her voice with
an effort, asked, Are you expecting
DR.. Stanley?"

though the person at the other end

of the connection was hesitating.
Then came the reply, Eyes"
Dana said, in low tone, "I
wanted to tell you he's on his
way"
She hung up the receiver, put her
face down in her hands. Sneaking,
spying on Scott. Yes, of course.
But, greater than the humiliation
and loss of self-respect, was the
torturing question, What power has
Paula over Scott that she can drag
him from his bed on a night like
this?"
Dana was shivering. She pulled
the cover closer around her, but the
shaking continued. Her face was
burning and her hands and feet felt
like ice
ITHARLOTTE had told Scott:
- Miss Paula's going crazy with
pain. She has taken that prescrip-
ton you gave her, but it hasn't
helped. You must come. She said
you would"
When Scott hesitated, Charlotte
had continued, tits awful the way
she's suffering. I think you should
see her, Doctor"
Yes, Scott thought, he should see
Paula in one of these seizures. He'd
know better, then, what was causing
them. AS it was he had his sus-
picions, but he was only guessing.
He stood for moment, trying TO
decide what to tell Dana. Months
before he wouldn't have hesitated to
tell her where he was going, but that
scene the night he had played
bridge at Paula's stayed in his
memory. Dana, through some sixth
sense women seem to have, had hit
upon the truth. Paula was roman
| tic about him.
| If he told Dana where he was 60
ing, she would worry about it. 1t
would be best to wait until he came
back and then make clean breast
of the whole story. Dara could be
trusted to keep Paula's secret, if it
developed that Paula really was
taking narcotic.
| He found he had accepted the
theory that Paula was doing that
nellish thing. If this was true he'd
have to persuade her to go away
some where and fight the furies in
diligently in some sanitarium.
Charlotte met him at the door OF
the apartment and then went out
of the room. Miss Paula, she said
was feeling little better.

dreadful holes in the toes with so

remained awake. In the darkness
the lightning was revealed more
terrifyingly, and Dana had

her long lashes swept her cheeks

Preparing for
Dances Should
Be Easy Task
BY ALICIA HART

please tell me exactly how to
groom my face for very formal,
important dance" writes a young
matron. "Ordinarily, l don't spend
much time on beauty routines, but,
this once, I'll spend hours if you
say So"
First of all, want to say that
a girl who gives her skin a rea-
sonable amount of attention day
in and day out, year after year,
doesn't have to devote half day
before party to making herself
attractive. If she always keeps her
skin smooth and clear, hair healthy
and nails neat, preparations for a
dance should be little more trouble
than getting ready to go to the of
flee or on shopping trip.
However, if you haven't time for
regular mask treatments and the
like, allow about two hours to get
ready for formal party.
First, Clean the Face
First of all, clean face and neck
and pat with tonic. Then apply a
layer of rich tissue cream and leave
1T on while you battle, assemble I'M
derwear and brush your teeth. Then
remove the cream, pat again with
tonic to remove every trace of oil
and smooth on a mask, either a
commercially prepared variety or
one you have made from egg or
oatmeal. Lie down for twenty min
utes or until the mask is dry.
When you get up remove the
mask with tepid water, use more
tonic, then put foundation on
shoulders and arms as we'll as face
and neck. The rest of your cos
metics 60 on in the usual manner.
If you have a bottle of LIQUID DOW
der, do not put foundation on arms
and back. Use the liquid and moth
ing else.
