Camping

CAMPING is the backbone
of Boy Scouting. Out-of-
doors life offers boys their
greatest appeal. Through
the Boy Scouts of America
nature becomes democ-
-vTacy's most potent ally.
Any community wishing
to reap the greatest bene-
fits from it's investment in
a Boy Scout council must
provide adequate camping
facilities.
Under the efficient direc-
tion of H. S. Bauman, Lick
ing county executive of the
Boy Scouts of America,
camping has developed rap
idly. Licking county is
fortunate in having
two of the most beautiful
locations in the state of
Ohio, the Failing Rock camp
and the one on Charlestown
island, in Buckeye Lake.
The purposes of these
camps is to serve the Scouts
of this area with periodic
and intimate contacts with
nature under the supervi-
sion of adult leaders. They
also serve as summer train
ing camps where boys and
; their leaders may live in the
open for a week or two
weeks at a time and be-
comes a laboratory which
gives them an intensive ex-
perience in Scout ideals, ad-
venture, and troop tech
nique.
More important than ever
looms the benefits which
can be derived through the
vScout movement and the fa-
cilities afforded by these
camps-at a time when all
youth should be trained in
the interest of defense to be
strong in mind and body.
That this goal be reached
assistance and cooperation
of all the friends of Scout
ing in this area must be re-
cruited. Here is an oppor-
tunity we cannot afford to
miss.

not responsible for the change in
the date of these elections, both
boards welcome the change since
the additional time allows a
more thorough discussion of the
needs of the proposed building
programs. If the electors of the
districts approve the bond issues
involved, each district plans a
building program in conjunction
with the United States govern

in which she glided sinuously

deepened.
Suddenly the $1,000 she
owed and didn't have ceased
TO be important. Only Jack

the reason he hadn't sent her

Could it be that he was

ing of the Arabian Nights to
keep from realizing that she
couldn't find it.
She thought of the girl
Scheherazade who told the
young amir story a night
for 1901 nights. She thought
of Gene Bardle. who had
given her the 30 volumes
which contained the Arabian
Tales. She thought Of love,
as told by the story teller in
the book, and then she
thought of it as she herself
had known it.
And that brought her 70
Jack Duvall, her husband for
a week. because the love he
had given her and the love
she had returned to him was
the only love she had ever
known.
That week had been Won

there in the wide. dimly lit
room. She had been so young
and so alive.
She and Jack had speeded
away in Jacks roadster. They
had been married by A justice
Of the peace in a marrying
town. They had gone TO a
hotel high on a mountalnside
for their honeymoon.
They were still there when
Jacks father came and took
him away.
Thrilled and saddened by
the remembrance of those
days together. she thought of
Jack and wondered whether
he thought often of her.
She knew all about him
because she managed TO keep
in touch with his activities.
He had inherited his fathers
business and had made a 20
of it. 1t was furniture, and
its manufacture supported
her home town.
She knew he had never
married. And she l5new that
he thought of her at least
once a year. because he al
ways sent her a little note on
the anniversary of their
wedding.

Ear surgeons with large es-
perience warn against certain
kinds of emergency treatment
of any ear injury.
II is advisable not TO Try To
syringe the external auditory
canal or to put any drops in the
ear under any circumstances
unless, Of course, this is done
by an car surgeon who knows
what he is doing and has some
reason for IL.
Experience teaches that the
greatest cause of infection OF
the middle and internal ear
structures is washing out the
canal or the installation of drops
as a frst-aid treatment in ins
juries or burns Of the car.
Not only may infection be
carried into the middle ear-if
The drum is Kuptured. but If the
injury has been protected by
the formation OF a clot. syring-
ing may wash the clot loose and
expose the middle ear to inva-
sion.
The best emergency treat
ment is to apply a dry dressing
of gauze and cotton over the
ear and ALLOW it to stay there
until the ear is examined and

NEEDS MONEY

But she was asking one to-
night. She was asking her
self:
Where can i get $1,000 TO
keep my night club alive? ."
And she was asking it in
the night club itself as she sat
at r table not far from the
door and watched the bust
ness of the night begin. The
answer TO her question, of
course, was, Nowhere. " be-
cause 5000 dollars do not
grow on trees, and even If they
did there were few trees in
the vicinity of Sues night

Sue was a remarkable girl,
and maybe that was the
reason remarkable tn ings
happened TO her. When she
came to New York from a
small Pennsylvania town, at
the age of II, she was more
beautiful, even, than To-Day.
Her hair was tawny. Her
eyes were blue. Her lips
were sweet with love because,
at that tender age. she had
been a married woman. How
would you say il? She was
an annulled woman.
She had eloped and mar
ried the towns richest boy.
His Mortified parents had
come after him when he
wired home for money and
had taken immediate steps to
wash the marriage up

Sue had come to New York
