stFor such a beautiful girl as you

Lynn darling, say nothing until
you have thought. You haven't had
time to think. And you are natural
ly prejudiced at the moment, even
though you are so magnanimous and
don't admit it. "A greater magma

note to Mrs. Harding saying you
have accepted my invitation to stay

Lynn. "Aunty would blow up. She

"Just a moment, sir. This oc-
ours to me. Is Rundhia exactly in
good standing?"
"No. Confidentially, speaking off
the record, took a recent occasion
to warn him that one more indiscre-
ton might endanger his succession
to the throne"
81 suppose" said Norwood, sit
would be great deal easier, and
would cause a lot less trouble, to
veto him now than to have to de-
pose him later on, after he had
come to the throne?"
"Why, yes, certainly. Even the
right Of veto isn't anything we like
to exercise. To depose a ruling
prince, after once having recognized
his right to the throne-well, it has
been done. But it isn't good policy,
if it can be avoided. You see, the
alternative to Rundhia is Jodha, who
is an invalid and likely to be child
less. We might be accused of de-
posing Rundhia in order to grab
Kadur. No. If Rundhia should sue
coed to the throne, his position
would be fairly secure"

Anglo Egyptian Sudan

The Anglo Egyptian Sudan IS
south Of the Sahara Desert. There
are tall palm trees, each covered
with dates Mud villages dot the
valley. Women grind the grain
between two fiat stones. Donkeys
plod along, nearly hidden by their
heavy loads. Men and boys work
beside the river, raising the water
and pouring it into bitches which
carry it to their field. The rail
road IS useful in this region.
In the peninsula on the west,
bounded by the Nile, we see goats,
camels, and sheep feeding in the
fields. The government is trying
to improve agriculture and home
conditions Of the people.
Khartum is the capital and the
most important city in the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan. From here many
products are shipped away. Among
these products is gum arabic. We
use thousands of tons of this vel
low-white substance in medicines.
We also use it to give strength
and luster to cloth. Gum arabic
comes from the trees which grow
in the Sudan, in part of eastern
Africa, in Arabia and in some
other regions. The natives tap the
tree and collect the sticky sap
which hardens when exposed to
the air.
This country is noted also for its
ivory expeditions.
Britain is only a protector to
this large, rich, productive coun-
try.

Monday and Tuesday next, March
20 and 21 is the Declaration of
Independence" a technicolor pic
ture acclaimed everywhere it is
shown. Produced lavishly, it has
much of interest to Delaware as 1t

The film opens with delegates ar
irving at the Continental Congress
to discuss whether the colonies
should declare themselves free and
independent of England. The
meeting adjourns in stormy ses-
sion with Thomas jefferson, Benja-
min Franklin and John Adams as
signed to draw up a declaration OF
independence. Delegate Caesar
Rodney of Delaware leaves for his
home at Dover, leaving instruc-
tions that he be summoned immed-

house of Tories who learns in the
meantime, that his vote is needed

SCOUTS AT
WORLDS FAIR
Will Have Opportunity To
Take Part in Camp Life
and Aid Fair
MANY OTHER DUTIES

Any qualified member of the
Boy Scouts of America may apply
for an opportunity to take part in
a unique demonstration and ser
vice camp at the New York
Worlds Fair, DR.. James E. West,
Chief Scout Executive of the Ma
tional Council, Boy Scouts of
America, has announced. The plan
for Scout camp of approximate
ly 159 different Scouts and leaders
each week, on a tWo-acre site
within the Fair grounds from April
80 to october 81, was approved by
formal action of the managers of
the Worlds Fair Corporation and
the National Council, Boy Scouts
of America.
The camp, to be located immed-
lately adjacent to the Federal
Building, will accommodate four
Troops of 80 Scouts and four lead
ers, who will provide service ap-
portunities for 5000 Scouts from
all parts of the Nation. Each site
will be equipped with tents of var
ious colors and designs. There will
be a large tent for displays Of
Scouting, including Woodcraft,
handicraft and campcraft. Troops
that have produced outstanding
articles Of handicraft and camp
craft may have them shown there
and the exhibit will represent the
finest craftsmanship 50 far devel-
oped by the Scouts Of the country.
Near the exhibits tent there will
be an open area for flag ceremon-
ies, together with a rustic camp
fire amphitheatre for dramatics
and other spectacular demonstra-
tions. a dining hall and kitchen
with full equipment will be part
Of the camp.
The gateway is to be imposing,
with a 40 foot totem pole. The
camp headquarters building will
serve as the administration center
and a stockade will surround the
entire area. In line with the SYM
phony Of colors Of the Worlds
Fair the Scout camp will be most
colorful with the flying flags Of all
Scout nations waving aloft, q SYM
Dol Of world brotherhood and a
friendly greeting to visitors from

all over the world.
Guided tours of the Worlds Fair
exhibits will be available to Scouts
in small groups under leadership,
during approximately one-third of
the day. This represents an extra
ordinary opportunity for Scouts to
receive educational values from the
Fair and it is recognized by school
authorities that a visit to the Fair
will be a most desirable and worth
while educational project.
To be eligible to participate a
Scout must have been an active
member of the Boy Scouts of
America since May 1, 1888, must
have had satisfactory comping ex-
perience and be able to take care
of himself in the open. He must
be in good health and present a
medical certification of physical
fitness and successful smallpox
vaccination.
He must also have had sufficient
experience in voluntary civic ser
vice activities to assure his serving
creditably when called upon as a
member of an organized service
Patrol and Troop at the Fair.
There will be many occasions on
which he will be expected to par
ticipate as a member of a Guard
of Honor at ceremonies and public
events and for distinguished
guests, in addition to possible SER
vice as an orderly, guide for aged
and handicapped persons and as
sistant to non-commercial exhibit
ors and in the children's recrea-
tionaI center. With these respon-
sibilities, it will be apparent that
participation in the camp must be
limited to well trained and exper-
fenced Scouts.
Preference will be given to char
tered and provisional Troops and
Ships organized by Local Councils,
either from within their own ter
ritory or neighboring Councils,
provided Scouts and Scounters in
each instance meet the prescribed
general qualifications. This will
not close the door to the consider
alton of applications for Patrols
under adequate leadership if there
are vacancies available.
A Scouts required uniform and
personal equipment for the Worlds
Fair camp will be practically the
same as that he uses at his home
Scout Camp and similar to the
popular uniform worn by thou
sands of Scouts at the First Ma
tional Jamboree at Washington, D.
O.. in 1887 Leaders will wear the
same style uniform as Scouts, and
Sea Scouts will wear the official
Sea Scout uniform.

have produced outstanding articles
of handicraft and camPcraft to have
them shown in this tent at the
Worlds Fair and the exhibit will
represent the finest craftsmanship SO
far developed by Scouts.
Near this tent there will be an
open area for flag ceremonies, to-
eether with a rustic campfire amPhi-
theatre for dramatics and other spec
tacular demonstrations and dining
iall with full equipment.
Totem Pole at Gateway
The gateway is to be an imposing
one with a 40 foot totem pole. The
headquarters building will serve as
the administration center for the
camp, and a stockade will surround
the entire camp area. In line with the
symphony of colors of the Worlds
Fair the Scout camp will be most
colorful with the flying flags of all
Scout nations waving aloft, symbol
Of world brotherhood and friendly
greeting to visitors from all over

our government.
Under these conditions each per-
son is under obligation to society
to use his years in school to pre-
pare himself to be as competent
a citizen as he possibly can. If
you think that you have no obliga-
ton to society, remember that
your community builds the schools,
employs teachers and supplies the
books for your benefit. 1t costs
about $3.50 to put student thru
four years of high school and the
people, the taxpayers, in support
ing the schools for you are think
ing not only of your welfare, but
that of their community, state and
nation. The chools are supported
in order that the community and
country may be a better place to
live in. This is called "the in
vestment theory of education" "
The public invests in the schools in
order to draw greater dividends for
the country. If we really wish to
make these investments pay divid-
ends we must be willing to serve
the American ideals and learn to
understand what is required of US
as citizens Of a democracy.

The "Junior Radio Club"

AT the beginning of this year
1899, the Junior Radio Club was
reorganized because of the lack Of
cooperation and the absence of
several members. The new offic-
ers elected were as follows: Presi-
dent, Lloyd Jones; Vice President,
Layton Mabrey; Secretary, Helen
Shahan; Treasurer, Harry Cloud.
Each week the president calls
the meeting to order and there is
a discussion Of old and new bust
ness. The secretary calls the roll
and no more than three members
are allowed to be excused. The
treasurer then collects the dues,
adding two cents to the dues
which have not been paid weekly.
Several Of the members, headed
BY Ethel Leager, are now working

Radio Club Contest which ended
about month ago These plays
were written by Clarence Garis

Contacts with Officials


Service projects will be an impor-
tant part of Scouts program dur
ing four or five hours each day. This
will put Scouts in touch with the
MANAGEMENT of the enterprise, and
they will have many occasions to
meet the distinguished persons in
volved in the Fair.
There will be accommodations
for only 5000 of the 1,271,o00
present registered Scout membership,
most of whom, judging from re-
quests already on hand, would like
to avail themselves of this privilege.
The opportunity will be open to
Scouts in any part of the United
States who meet the standards pre-
scribed by the National Council,
and preference will be given to aP-
pIications in the order of their
receipt.
All camp reservations must be
made through local Scout Councils
and not directly with the National
