quick survey shows that the khaki
clad youngsters sold Liberty Bonds

lives, delivered half a million
Thanksgiving baskets to needy fam

solicit money for anyone.
Between good turns, Scouts keep
fit by practice and competition in
first aid, signaling and simple en-
cheering, by extensive hiking and
camping, and by constant adherence
to the fundamentals of American
ism.
Typical of the spectacular side of
Scout work is the record Of the 1898
New England hurricane. Almost
without exception, every damaged
community praised the work of the
khaki-clad youngsters. They helped
clear streets, carried messages for
the police and fire departments,
rescued half dozen marooned per-
sons, collected clothes for those left
homeless, and, when unable to COM
plete resuces themselves, guided bet
ter-equipped adults to the scene.
Similar stories have been told
repeatedly from every part of the
country. Tornadoes in the South,
floods in the Mississippi Valley,
billiards. in the mountain states, and
forest fires in the west have been
the occasion for brilliant rescue work
by Boy Scouts, whose long training
had prepared them for emergency
service.
Far less dangerous, but no less
useful, was the work done by Scout
Troops in collecting clothes, furni-
ture, food and supplies for needy
families during the depression. The
job was begun in 1884 in response
to a suggestion from President
Roosevelt. and 1t continued for sew
eral years.

COMFORTS OF HOME
ARE LACKING
It may be said that the road was
built in 1888 and early 1899 and the
work Of improving 1t, widening it
and shortening it has gone on I'M
ceasingly ever since. At one time
there were nearly one million la
borers engaged on the road, and the
Yunnan-Burma Highway bureau
sctill employs some $4,000 men for
repair, maintenance and reconstruc-
ton duties.
In making the journey from Ran
good to Running (Yunnan one can
travel by rail for $50 miles from the
Burma capital to Lashio. This takes
a couple of days. Lasfio is not ac-
tually on the border though it is
commonly regarded as the frontier
town.
1t is some 100 miles from China
the actual frontier post being al
Wangting, where the traveller must
undergo passport and customs rout-
inc for himself, his car and his bag
gage. Lashio is, of course, the i'm
portant center for the through traf-
fic and any day now one can en-
counter in that town a cosmopolitan
crowd of Burmese, Chinese, Indians
and a few Americans and English
men.
The journey up to the frontier is
not without its excitements, but the

Relieves him of feeling a sap

How it does help the setting

Of guests feeling their way

Lets go to Sloppy Joe's for cocktails
Where Bacardis are work OF art
And what an institution,

Like so many bees in hive.
A great little life-saver, the cocktail,
Sometimes costing a pretty penny,
Perfectly harmless after all,
Until you take one too many.

Rep. Kennedy Battles
To Gain Jeffra Shot
Al Feather Title
Would Have Archibald
Meet SeoIzo, Winner
To Take on Harry

Representative Ambrose J. Ken
nedy Of Baltimore today rolled up
his sleeves and plunged anew into
the herculean task of unknottine
the tangled featherweight situation.
Mr.. Kennedy's battle cry was the
same record he played throughout
the autumn, Il want an investiga-
tion."
Then the legislator insisted that
Joey Archibald. reigning champion,
give Harry Jeffra a return match
after the memorable and malodor-
GUS decision OF the great Griffth
Stadium squabble. Now he wants
Archibald to box Petey Scalzo. the
winner to meet either Jef1ra or
Jimmy Perrin. Under his plan
Kennedy hastens to point out, Jeffra
eventually will get a "shot" at the
eventual champ.
The idea smacks strongly Of Ma
tional Boxing Association propa-
ganda and Kennedy freely quotes
the N. B. A. throughout his two
page release. Just how he suddenly
got frothy about the injustice done
Jef1ra last summer and just as sud-
denly has become all worked up
over Scalzo is perplexing. Also it
is perplexing to Promoter Joe
Turner, who was dipping his pen
in ink preparatory to closing out
