SCOUTS FOUNDER
COUNSELS SERVICE
Baden Powell, 80, in World
Wide Message, Tells
Boys Their Need.

Celebrating his 8oth birthday an
niversary today, Lord Baden-Powell,
founder of the Boy Scout movement,
told the more than 2,500,000 Scouts
throughout the world that they can
enrich their own lives by rendering
services for the old, the poor and
the inflrm.
The message from Lord Baden
Powell, who has been the chief
Scout Of the world" since 1920, when
he was given that distinction at the
first world Scout jamboree in Eng
land, was transmitted to the head
quarters of Scout organizations in
70 lands from their international
bureau in London.
In his message, he said: Eighty
years may seem to you long time,
but I can't remember a time when
I wasn't busy, and as long as you
are busy. you can't help being cheer
full. If ever you find yourself with
out something to do, remember that
there are always lots of people want
ing help, old people or those poor
or infirm, who would be only toe
glad of a helping hand"
Lord Baden-Powell said he had
found a difference between pleasure
and happiness.
"You get pleasure by amusing your
self. Happiness is another thing. It
is a joy which remains with you al
ways, and 1t comes largely not so
much from amusing yourself as from
doing good turns which help other
people.
Il want you to have as long and
jolly a life as I have had. You can
get it if you keep yourself healthy
and helpful to others. will tell you
my secret for this: I have always
tried to carry out the Scout promise
and the Scout law in all that do.
II you do that, you will make
success of your life and will have
a very happy time even if you live
to eighty"

There, in heat raised to $500 degrees
Fahrenheit, the bottles are melted.
This melted glass is then cooled and
afterward taken to the dump-hidden

That's where the containers of old

where the melted bottles camp for the

them next morning at daybreak,

Once fumes from the empty whisky
bottles perfumed the air over the
Gales street dump. A man with a
good strong sense of smell could then
get mighty cheap jag on. merely by
taking stroll near the final resting
place Of the empties.
That was before the new order

Product of the empty bottles. when

TRIAL Of LAYTON
OPENS TOMORROW
Alleged Victims in Pershing
Bust Promotion Included
Men of Prominence.

Alfred NJ. Layton, alleged swindler
of many of the country's better
known financial and political figures

District Court.
A fugitive for two and half years,
following discovery of reported
scheme to obtain money through sub
scriptions to a fund for purchase OF
q bust of Gen. John j. Pershing,
Layton was arrested July 80 in At
lantic City. He is said to have told
those from whom he solicited con-
tributions that the bust was to be
presented to the National Gallery
| of Art
1t now reposes in that gallery, the
gift of Maj. James A. Purcell, ex-
ecutor of the estate of Maj. Gen.
George o. Squier. Officials say Lay
ton signed Gen. Squier's name to the
| $4,000 letters he sent to wealthy per-
sons asking for contributions.
Gen. Squier knew nothing of the
solicitation and was greatly con-
cerned when he discovered his name
had been used. Knowing his feeling,
his executor purchased the bust out
of the funds of the estate and pre-
sented it to the gallery.
Arrest of Layton, who jumped q
$4,000 bond early in 1884. followed
his recognition in an Atlantic City

fraud. Each of the six counts of the
true bill carries a maximum penalty
of 81 900 fine or five years imprison-
ment or both.
He allegedly obtained about s11. 1.00o

Neil contend Layton wrote many
wealthy and famous persons asking
them to serve on the Gen. John j
Pershing Portrait Bust Committee,
which he said was forming to pur-
chase splendid bust of the A. e. F.
leader. On the bust was to be placed
q plaque bearing the names Of each
committee member. To become q
member Of the committee required q
contribution.
Work Of Dykaar.
The bust was the work of Moses
Dykaar, famous sculptor, who since
has died. It Is said to have been the

ing has placed his approval.

had known that the cubs were up
there. It was all mistake. He WAS

were to have him go. He had waited
that long time Just to make sure that
Mother Bear really had gone. He had
reached the ground and had just
started to walk away when Mother

SALADA TEA HAS FLAVOR OF ITS OWN l
Tea.Time Has Come to Be an Established Function
 Here as in British Isles

'Let's put the kettle on and all have tea" That '- the real symbol of true friendship and hospitality. Tea, the most popular drink in all the world, except plain water, has grown from Q fad--to @ custom to Q necessity. Probably much of the popularity of tea is due to the fact that people are beginning to realize tea is really more than some- thing that comes in Q package sven more than . beverage that tastes good.
 Tea is 0 social event-an occasion, It is not only an opportunity to lose the worries of the day-to for get the fatigue of effort--but best Of alto chat with friends in a congenial sort of way. Tea seems to have that peculiar faculty of help. ing people to get bettre acquainted by bringing them to Q closer and more sympathetic understanding These are only Q few of the things that make tea 80 pleasant and so worthwhile.
 Be correct in the few simple de. tails that go to make up the charm of tea drinking. First of all, make 1t correctly. The recipe Is simple and easy to follow. Just scald out a crockery tea pot, and while 1t IS warm, put in a teaspoonful of tea for every cup required and an ex- tra one for the pot-pour on fresh boiling water (but be sure 1t IS ''bubbling" boillng) and allow 1t to steep for five minutes. These direc.. tons, If quality tea is used, will assure you of perfect tea.
 The real goodness of tea depends upon its flavor. Its flavor depends largely upon two things--the eleVa- ton at which the plant has been grown and the care exercised m manufacture. Experience has shown that the higher the elevation or the tea garden, the richer the lear in fullness of flavor.
 Be discriminating in your choice of tea, for tea, like other foods, varies greatly in quality and flavor, The really successful hostess serves only the finest foods and beverages obteinable. This partially explains why millions of exacting tea drink CTS demand salada tea and cannot be satisfied with any oather. They have learned to appreciate the fiavor-the freshness and the uni- formity of this delightful drink.
