Perhaps it is no longer news to
say that health can be bought. said
DIR. Evans, ''but when it is possible
to state how everyone can buy it, the
information becomes Of general inter
est.
"The purchase of Christmas Seals, -
he continued "gives everyone an OPP
pcrtunity to buy health, not only for
himself but for his neighbor, and If
each individual will take as many as
possible, the accumulated interest will
enable the Washington tuberculosis
Association and it's affiliated local
leagues to continue their effective
fight against tuberculosis. These organ
izations represent an important part Of
the army which is winning against the
disease, which not so long ago was
known as the "White Scourge."
"From the vital statistics said
Dr. Evans in conclusion, it is possible
to show beyond any question of doubt
that the tide. of battle is turning in
favor of those fighting the disease, as
tuberculosis is declining year by year,
but the fight must go on and funds
forthcoming to continue until the en-
envy, tuberculosis is routed.'
The sale begins November 25, clos
ing Christmas Eve.

ization which has penetrated every
state in the union and has told part
of its story in the citizenship Of
nearly 100000 men and boys.
The story reflects the ageless
search for an organization which
would function with and for boys,
to serve both youth and the COM
munity. 1t unfolds with touches
sometimes dramatic, sometimes pro-
sale, not unlike the evolution of
other ideas which have become in
tegral instruments of modern civ
ilization. 1t began with primitive
man who developed ritual for the
training of his youth. It found en-
couragement in the ancient Greek
and his games, and it enjoyed adult
patronage as boy groups in England
under Charles I. Many years passed
before an unusual mixture was
evolved-a leader of men schooled
in the business Of destroying man
kind romanticized military training
in an effort to make better citizens
of his soldiers.
Robert S. S. Baden-Powen !
That officer was Robert S. s.
Baden Powell, in charge of the
South African Constabulary. He rec
ognized that his men lacked char
acter values; they knew nothing CT
pioneering, of the outdoors, of the
things he believed essential for the
full life. Ordinary processes Of mil
itary. training did not fit them fol
life in South Africa. To improve
them as individuals and as mem
bers of society, he developed q
scheme of group activity with en-
phasis on the outdoor life.
Strangely, England's youth assim-
Hated his views as he expressed
them In booklets. Possibly, the at
traction was beca:----s Of youths in
herent love for uniform. Never
theless, he revised his program tt
suit boys and incorporated in II
the somewhat similar views Of
American youth leaders. The Boy
Scouts was therefore established.
One Of Baden-Powell's early
Scouts was on the alert when al
American business man, William D
Boyce, found himself lost in Lon
don fog. He aided the visitor, but
instead Of accepting gratuity, he
explained that he was a Boy Scout
and could not take a tip. He had

Tin Shortage
 Affects Japanese Fish Canneries

The Japanese government IS cutting down the amount of tin plate available for fish canning in that country to tWo-third of the former allotment, according to the American consulate at Nagasaki, Japan.
 As a result, owners of fish can neries in Nagasaki Prefecture have arranged a consolidation of the IS canneries in that area into one joint-stock corporation in or der to simplify the allotmen of tin plate and to eliminate less efficient canneries by diverting materials only to the better equipped plants.
 Nagasaki Prefecture is the lar gest producing area in Japan in canned fish output. Last season the catch in ths prefecture was valued at 22,896,0OO yen, or ap- proximately $5,500,000.
 The eighteen canneries affect ed by the consolidation pack half the national Japanese output of sardines in tomato sauce and also pack a large quantity of tuna. Practically the entire output, ex- cept that reserved for military use is shipped abroad to export markets.
 Allotments of tin plate are re tricted to canning of fish for military and export use. Only rejects unsuitable for the export trade or for which export mar kets cannot be found are re- leased for consumption within Japan.

Three Hundred Forty-fwo Boats, Seven Packers,
 Delivering Fish

SITKA, Alaska, July 13-Trolling boats in the port of Sitka remained tied up since yesterday afternoon as the result of the action taken by the United Trollers of Alaska and Alaska Trollers Association unions at mass meeting yesterday fore noon.

The buyers were also told that until the demanded price is paid, no fish will be delivered to the Sitka dock after the noon hour on Sunday, July IA.

Fit'y Thousand Mi|ifiamen Are 10 Be Called Up
 for Defense

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Presi- dent Roosevelt's proposal to put 3D. GOO militiamen into active service brought the controversial subject of National Guard mobilization back for decision.
 The recommendation for calling out almost a quarter of the National Guardsmen of the United States was reached yesterday by President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Stimson.
 Congress, now recesSing for the Democratic National Convention, must give approval to the proposal, however.
 When President Roosevelt, in a special message last May 31, asked for authorization to mobilize the Ma tional Guard as a defense emer- gency measure, it received a bar rage of criticism.
 The Presidents present plan is to call out four of the eighteen divi- sions of the National Guard, seven anti-aircraft regiments and an in definite number of coast defense units.

 He founded, in 1904, The Bing- hamton Press, housing the paper in the city's first skyscraper, as a mem- orial to his father.
 Tn early life, he had charge of the advertising of the proprietary medi- cine firm operated by his father, Jonas M. Kilmer. A fortune was made in manufacturing an old-time medicinal product known as Swamp root.
 Was American Born

 The German High Command says today the sea war on G:eat Britain has been marked by the capture of number of merchant vessels with valuable cargoes, food stuffs and also war material. It is also claimed that ships totalling 24,000 tons were sent down yesterday by U-boats.
 Worst To Come
 Louis Lochner. Associated Press correspondent, one of the American newsmen closest to Fuehrer Hitler. says in dispatch from Berlin that the Germans describe the present war against Great Britain by air and sea as ''only child's play" in compari- son as to what is coming.
 Lochner says the Germans are so confident of 'leveiling Great Bri- tain" in an annhilation campaign and so convinced that victory is cer- tain, that thousands of soldiers are eastward away from the Seigfried Line, where they are no longer needed, to the east, ready for use if necessary.

HE RODE INTO POLITICS

It's only a stones throw from the spot in Rock Creek Park where Stimson actually galloped into poll tics. Elihu Root and President Ted dy Roosevelt were out for an early morning horseback ride. Root saw Stinison riding across the creek and remarked to the President that he probably would be a good man for the post of District Attorney in New York. The President said, Call him over" Root hailed Stim- son and the latter, disregarding the steep bank, dashed into the creek at breakneck place caught up his horse as he stumbled in mid-stream and brought him lathering and rearing up the near bank.
 T.R. cried Magnificent horse manship! Magnificent" and with out further ceremony asked him to take the New York Federal Prosecuting Attorney job.
 Stimson probably is the only Secretary of War Che also held the post under TafDs graduated from the Army War College.
 Before that. however, in the World War as colonel, he was appointed to the judge advocates division. Then, although over 50. he was assigned to command in the 31st field artillery where he served for the duration and got decorations from both Britain and

APPOINTED TO
 DEMOCRATIC OFFICE
 NOT NEW TO STIM50N
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Being appointed to high office by execu- tives of the Democratic party IS nothing new to Republican Henry Lewis Stimson.
 He has been honored by every President from Roosevelt to Roose- welt. Only in President Harding s administration did he not hold high office and even then he was mentioned for cabinet and legal posts.
 The appointment of Stimson as Secretary of War isn't even the first time that F.D.R has recog- nized the talents of the man who had nothing to do with politics until he was 40 years old. In 1888, Roosevelt named h i'm to the Hague Court and, on another oc- casion, asked him to be one of two men on an important treaty mission to South America.
 So certain must Stimson have been that he would come back to Washington some day, that he never relinquished ownership of historic Woodley, lovely old house on 16-acre estate at 300C Cathedral Avenue. The rambling old mansion of pre-Civil War con- struction, was bought by Stimson when he was Secretary of State under President Hoover. It used to be the summer White House oi President Cleveland
