 SCOUT MOVEMENT

Miss Florence Turnbull, secretary of the local Girl Scout Council, has received six letters in answer to sev- eral she recently dispatched to wo- men, former members of the Girl Scout organization many years ago, in an effort to discover what they think of the movement at the pres- ent time.
 An excerpt from her summary shows what the opinions are on the outside at the present time. It is as follows: from six women ranging in age from 9 to 27 who have had ex- perience in college, social service work, teaching, business, and the nursing profession, they all agree that the program and contacts in scouting have meant a great deal in their lives. That scouting helped them in school, at home, in college, in business, in their religious life and in their social life, and in the beginning of a successful life in the domestic relations of wife and mo- ther, is seen.

 Romanoff celebrated the 300th year of the Romanoff dynasty in Russia. Coins were issued with his head side by side with that of his ancestor, Mikhail Romanoff. And people began to say, ,"The first and the last Carl" Four years later and Nicholas had ab. dicated.
 Like his cousin, George V of England, Nicholas came to his throne through the untimeiy death of his elder brother. But while George died one of the best-be. loved figures. in British history, Nicholas failed completely and came to a bloody end. Exactly a year and four months after the reinS of power had passed from the provisional government to the bolsheviki, he, his wife, their son, their four daughters, and their little group of faithful servants were murdered in the cellar of the lpatieff house in Ekaterinburg, July l7, 1918.
 Nicholas fell in the hour of Rus- sia's defeat, an hour when incorn. petent generals, corruption, brih. cry, treachery had sealed the doom of the nation in the great war. Twenty years ago Nicholas ceased to be czar of all the Rus.' sians. And today, Russia is, a

own age. And beyond the moving speedboat was the welcome sight of the white yacht, riding pleasantly at anchor.
 As the speedboat nosed into the sand, its occupants were aston- ished at the sight of two bedraggled young women, one with a rife, rushing toward them. One of the young men leaped out with a for- ward line, pulled the light. speed boat further into the sand.
 Hello, therel" he said. what I say, aren't you two from the Chinook? Where's your goodlook- ing skipper?"
 "She's-she's been kidnapped, Melita blurted out.
 The other two debarked then and joined their companion. Hurriedly Melita told the story of the cabin, of their damaged dinghy, and the strange departure of the Chinook. !" The young men exchanged glances in frank doubt. a.a
 You don't have to believe us now" Priscilla said hotly. But you've got to help Us find Kay"
 The driver of the speedboat spoke up We do want to help you. But warn you, if this is 8 prac- tical joke, it'll go hard"
 "Joke?" repeated Melita unbe- lievingly. How can you be so stupid?"
 The young man grinned. Maybe because we're university professors. But we do want to help, really. Let me introduce Tom and MacForrest and I'm Grant Harper. We're do- ing some study of these waters for the university. I warn you, we're poor and honest. The palatial yacht out there is chartered, and the uni- versitly is paying for it." .. T.
 The run along the shore in the speedboat to the beached dinghy was the work of but a few mo- ments. When Grant Harper saw the damaged boat, and the blood stains on the cabin floor, he quick ly dropped his bantering tone.
 He turned to the two brothers. "I'd say this is no time to be chas. ing fauna. There's something mighty strange here" Facing the girls he added, T image you could stand some food and rest. Suppose you go board the 'Mistral' with Tom. Mac and I will make a circle of the island in the speedboat.
 But" Melita protested, shouldn't t we be going after the 'Chinook'?"
 Harper nodded "Yes. But I have hunch we'll find her on the other side of the island. If the man is a murderer he wouldn't want to be hitting for civilization in that boat. And if round of the island proves I'm wrong, we can quickly overtake the Chinook with the Mistral!' What I'm afraid of is that he in- tends to keep your friends right here"
 Too exhausted mentally and physically to offer 8 better plan, Melita and Priscilla agreed. The four went out to the yacht in the speedboat, and the two girls climbed aboard with Tom Forrest.
 When Mac and Grant Harper had put the trio aboard they shot away in the speedboat. As the run- about reached the north end of the island, Harper slowed down and climbed from the drivers seat.

A trapper of the far north had a successful season and was prepared to store away sizeable supply of furs. His problem at the moment was to locate good cache. During his search he carried an axe, strong ring, a hunters knife and a coil of rope. One day he came to the edge of a fairly widestream which had rather fast-fowing water and in the middle of which was a small, wooded island. After looking over the surrounding territory the trapper decide that the island would make an ideal cache. He judged the approximate width of the stream and found his rope to be three times fits width, but too heavy to throw across. Knowing that small boats were frequently left at crossing places by ranges for trapper's use, he soon located one which had ring at the prov and another at the stern. There were no oars, how ever, How could the trapper get across the stream?

CHAPTER x

Not until the cruiser Chinook was out of sight did Melita and Priscilla come to the full realization that Kay Dearborn was really leaV- ing them marooned on the island. Knowing Kay, they were certain she had good reason, and the footprints fin the sand made them suspect what that reason was. That poor Kay was the prisoner of murderer they had little doubt.
 Yet this scarcely alleviated their own situation. Except for the small rifle, they were helpless. And there was no way of knowing whether or not the islands only danger was embodied in the unknown man aboard the disappearing Chinook. :" However, their concern for Kay helped to keep their minds from their own troubles.
 We can't stay here on the open beach," Melita said. Lets get away from that cabin and do some eXplor ing. Maybe-maybe we'll find some. thing else on this island"
 n
 "That's just what I'm afraid Of, " admitted Priscillo. From now on I'll expect anything. Where do you expect that fellow is taking Kay?"
 q wish we knew" Melita was trying hard to keep her voice steady, 'But.-we can be sure that Kay can take care of herself if anyone can"
 Summing the dreaded cabin, the two girls started up the lonely beach. As they walked they kept their eyes on the thick wood, hard ly knowing what to expect. For more than an hour they trudged over the sand and pebbles of the beach. Gradually, with the weari- ness of tramping. their fears sub sided-and something more terrible took their place. This was thirst and hunger. Neither mentioned her longing for water and food, yet each began to realize that the passing of a few more hours would see their needs serious, indeed.
 When the sun was high over- head, they stopped of one accord. "We're just wearing ourselves out, Me!ita had to admit. Wed better sit down and think this over"
 Finding a sheltered spot at the edge of the wood, the two dropped to the ground exhausted. Do you suppose there'd be spring creek soi1ievhere in the woods?" Priscilla ventured.
 T don't know. But we've got tc find out. The only alternative is to return to that cabin. l didn't see any food there-but there must be water"
 Another hours walking convinced them that they must accept the alternative. Dread 1t as they would they must return 10 that mysterious cabin where all their troubles hao begun. What they would find there this. time they could only guess. Ane their fevered brains conjured UT many things.
 Melita looked at Priscilla fear fully. wen have to go back. Il we go into the woods now were liable to get lost, or run into some thing worse than anything at the cabin. Let's follow the shoreline back"
 They had returned only a few hundred yards when they were startled to see a sleek mahogany speedboat putting into the beach ahead Nervously Melita clutchee at her rifle, and then Prilla broke put with joyful cry.
 Look! There's the man Wht helped us in Fairweather Cove! The one from the white yacht"

NOT IN THE BOX SCORE:

a T LEAST ten ballplayers who
\ performed on Cuban teams
last winter could make good in such
leagues as the International or the
American Association. Two or three
others would have excellent chances
of holding jobs in the majors. They
do not get a chance because organ
lied baseball is almost as prudish,
as unenlightened and as selfish as
Joe Louis in the matter of drawing
color lines. Horsemen who win
tered in California say that Santa
Anita has the country's best-con-
Quoted race meeting and that next
winter the minimum purse will be
81 200. Lou Chiozza's worst field
ing trouble is that he tries to
straighten up and aim before throw
ing. When he gets the ball away
quickly from any old stance, his
control is better and he looks more
like Giant third baseman.
When the indoor season ends box

ally heads the list in gross revenue
with st. Nicks and the Hippodrome

IT SEEMS that Charlie Ebbets,
L while in attendance at the 1906
A. b. C. tournament at Louisville,
KY, was so impressed with the tour.
nament that il was his intention
to have the event awarded to New
York City. He said at the time that
If it was ever taken east OF the
Allegheny mountains, it would never
be returned to the Mid-Western
states.
This display of enthusiasm was
misinterpreted by the bowlers OF
the Western and Mid-Western states
and, as a result, the tournament
never was permitted to 60 east OF
Buffalo until the 1885 event was
held at Syracuse.
The Eastern bowlers made re-
markable showing in organization
work, in patronizing the Syracuse
tournament, and living up to their
promise to return the tournament
to the West the next year many of
the leaders from the Western cities
supported New York City in its cam
paign to obtain the tournament for
this year.
The entry of 4,017 teams in this
years tournament must prove con-
clusively to all skeptics that the
Eastern seaboard is capable of en-
listing such an entry as to make any
future tournaments in the East at
tractive to the bowlers of the United
States and Canada.
We entered in this years tour
nament approximately $4,000 in
dividual bowlers some coming from
points as far as $500 miles away.
The great majority of these were
accompanied by their wives; many
by their entire families. The aver
age stay was four or five days, but
some remained in the city for two
weeks or more and, as result, we
have been told that the American
Bowling Congress tournament and
convention is the most valuable of
all conventions and gatherings mas
much as there was consistent flow
of business into the tournament city
over a period of weeks.
A. B. C.. Makes "Hot Shot"

The Ely miner., 1937-04-29
A. B. C.. Makes ''Hot Shot"
lust Another Bowler

The A. B. c. tournament alleys
level off all participants. One who
might have very fine average on
his home alleys becomes just an
other bowler. There are only small
number of the country's outstanding
boWlers who continue to maintain
an average nearly approximating
their averages at their home alleys.
Quite a number of the so-called eX-
hibition bowlers must have partic-
ular alley finish upon which to do
their stuff. When these individuals
are permitted to practice a certain
number of games in order to find
the particular spot on which to
start their ball on each alley, they
can then make creditable show
ing, but in an A. B. G. tournament
they must begin to count immediate
ly after a game starts, no practice
being allowed except one ball on
each alley without pins being set
up.
Quite a number of the so-called
"hOt-shots" are practically scared
to death when they appear at the
A. B. C.. tournament each year SIM
ply because they realize that they
have no advantage. They do not
know the "run' of the alleys, but
must go in cold and proceed to
knock down the brand new ten pins
which are spotted for each team.
Although alleys are resurfaced
each twelve months and all alleys
on which sanctioned league d
tournament games are bowled are
certified as to being strictly regula-
ton so far as the specifications
are concerned, some bowling alley
proprietors, alley mechanics, resur-
facers and so-called sharpshooters
insist upon having alleys finished in
such a manner as to enable them to
bowl a hook ball that has terrific
power, and brings about excessive
or unnatural high scores that in the
end cause these particular individ-
uals to look ridiculous when they
bowl on alleys that are strictly fiat;
carry the proper amount of shellac
and are correctly rolished in accord
ance with the written rules and in
tent thereof.
This practice can he compared
with a golfer who has been playing
on a SO-called crOquet course, and
then attempts to display his prof.
cheney on a championship golf
course.
