BOY SCOUTS ADD
AIR" DIVISION
NEW PROGRAM DESIGNED TO PUT
MORE SPEED IN NATIONS
FLIGHT TRAINING

Boy Scouts OF America, sin step with
Americas dramatic air age" have ere
ated an air scout division to speed up
the nations flight training.
DR.. E. K Fretweil, director Of the
air scout program said the program is
concerned only with sound schooling
and will not embrace actual pilot
training. Fretwell and other scout lead
ers were attending the 32d annual
meeting Of the Boy Scout national
council.
"All flight Is under government sup
ervision and licensing" Fretwen said
Although stopping short Of actual
flying instruction. he said. the program
leads directly to civilian pilot train
ing or other government flight instrtlc-
tions or 70 more intensive training for
ground service as desired"
The program is divided in two parts.
The air scout candidate program, open
to scouts of any age. provides an op-
portunity for boys TO follow their spe-
cial interest in aviation" FTetwell said.
BY meeting simple requirements and
earning merit badges In such fields as
airplane structure, weather, airplane
design and radio. any scout may be-
come an air scout candidate"
A more intensive program Is contem-
plated for scouts more than Is years
old. They will be given advanced
ground schooling in airplane design,
navigation, aerodynamics. airplane en-
gines and theory Of flight.
To achieve the highest rank-air
scout ace-the candidate must be IA
miliar with purpose and underlying
principles Of aviation instruments, be
able TO compute ceilings and visibility,
understand airplane controls and be
versed in the theory. II not the actual
ity Of flight.

one died from the treatment he re-
ceived from the authorities, and the
other was sentenced to be killed. One
of the men Smith left at San Gabriel
was sent to San Diego, and there i'm
prisoned. but was finally released, and
permitted to Join Smith, who had gone
north with directions to leave Mexican
territory within two months, and with
the route he must follow clearly laid
down
Forbidden to increase his company,
which consisted Of but 20 men, he was
told to cross the Sacramento. But
when he arrived there the water was
too high to ford. Commands TO the
contrary, Smith decided to follow up
its main fork, and take his time about
it, trapping as he proceeded. Ever
since then this fork has been known
as American fork Of the Sacramento.
All winter he remained on the Sac
ramento. In the spring, having reached
the coast, he started north. On the
Umpquah river, when Smith was abb
sent from camp TO seek his road, his
men were attacked by the Rogue River
Indians, is killed and their flrs and
provisions stolen. The three men who
escaped, did not wait for Smith, but
made haste TO leave that dangerous
region.
welcomed by Mclaughlin
Alone, and impoverished, Smith
managed 10 reach Vancouver. where
he. although q competitor, received q
cordial welcome from that grand char
acter, DR.. Mclaughlin, who, on hearing
the story Of Smiths loss, at once or
ganized a company, and sent 1t under
command Of his stepson, Thomas Nc
Kay, to recover the furs. This was
readily done, as all OF the tribes had
been taught to have q wholesome re-
spect for the British company. Then
DR.. Mclaughlin showed still greater
magnanimity, by himself purchasing
the ftns for his company, at the regu-
lar market rate. Smith was enabled 70
leave Fort Vancouver with nothing
heavier than a London draft for near
" $4,000.
Recognizing the generosity Of Dr
Mclaughlin, Smith agreed that his
company would confine itself to the
east side Of the Rockies, leaving to the
Hudson's Bay company the trapping
grounds on the west side. This contract
of Smiths did not meet the hearty
approval Of his partners, but 1t Is not
at all certain that they felt obliged TO
be held by it, although it is said they
reluctantly consented" On April 80,
1880, Smith was hunting with Jim
Bridger, in the Powder river country,

MIX NOLU Used
As Preventive of
Lead POISONING

Results of a recent research in the
prevention Of lead poisoning indicate
the importance of consuming adequate
quantities of milk, according 70 an
editorial In a recent issue Of the Jour-
nal Of the American Medical associa-
ton. THE deposition Of lead in the
bones appears TO take place in inverse
ratio to that Of calcium" states the
article.
This" declares the National Dairy
council, makes clear the reason why
some industrialists have found 1t Is
important to protect their workers by
encouraging them to drink milk" Ade-
quate quantities Of milk and its prod
ucts are the most reliable sources OF
calcium In the diet. Many Industrial
lists. recognizing this fact. urge the
regular use Of milk at mealtime ana
have milk served TO employees during
morning and afternoon rest periods.
Lead poisoning Is considered one OF
the chief hazards TO the health Of in
dustriaI workers. In plants where lead
is used, even the dust Is found 70 con-
tain quantities OF this metal. In the
manufacture Of paint pigments, stor-
age batteries, tetraethyI lead for motor
fuels, and spray materials TO be used
ON fruits and vegetables, small amounts
Of Lead are swallowed from time 70
time by the workers and accumulate
In the body until lead poisoning may
occur.
It Is especially important just now
for everyone to produce ct maximum
efficiency. Adequate quantities Of milk
and its productc win help prevent time

The early fur traders, as a rule,
did not seem overly moral or pious.
The marked exceptions were APP
parentIy DIR. Mclaughlin. David
Harmon, and notably, Jedediah s.
Smith. The latter was but q
boy Of rs, when he left his New
York home for st. Louis, where, i'm
1928. he enlisted In the company OF
Ashley and Henry, and entered the
fur trade. He was at an impress
sionabIe age, and It Is remarkable
that he was able to Withstand the
demOraIizlng influences Of the
rough men with whom he was as
ISOLATED, and amongst whom were
many fugitives from Justice.
Like the first Protestant minister OF
Montana, he was a Methodist, and It
Is said his constant companions were
his bible and his gun. Or. Wagner says
Of these companions of Smiths, that
"the peaceful teachings of the one
never diminished in any way the vigoT
with which he used the other" And
this, be it remarked, Is not strange
as the peaceful teachings OF the bible,
or any of its higher precepts, have gen.
orally been forgotten when the occasion
apparently demanded It,
Attacked by Aricaras
It will be remembered that the Ash
ley expedition was attacked by the
Aricaras when on It's way up the Mis-
souri,, and was forced to retreat. Gen.
eral Ashley sent for troops 10 aid him,
and while awaiting them, intrenched
himself on an island in the Missouri.
His partner, Henry, was then on the
Yellowstone, and word must be dis
patched TO him Of his partners pre-
dicament. But who would be willing to
act as messenger through a country
swarming with hostile Indians? To
Ashley's surprise, it was the boy,
Smith, who volunteered. Ashley let
him go, but with an experienced
Frenchman as companion and guide.
Henry, who had been attacked by
the Blackfeet, or eros Ventres. and
defeated, was then at the mouth Of
the Yellowstone. Smith and his COM
panion managed to reach him there,
although they had many narrow es-
capes. Leaving 20 men at the mouth of
the Yellowstone, the remainder with
Henry and Smith, descended the Mis-
souri, Joining Ashley near the mouth
of the Cheyenne On the arrival Of the
soldiers under General Atkinson, Ash
ley formed his trappers into a COM
pany, with Smith as captain. Previous
to the coming of the soldiers, Smith
had been sent to st. Louis with the
furs the expedition had taken, and
there he met General Atkinson. IN
doubtedly his trustworthiness as a
messenger gained Smith his appoint
ment; and he proved himself worthy
of it, by his conduct during the en-
suing battle, In which the Indians were
routed.
The spring of the next year, Smith
tourneyed to the upper Snake country,
and while there, or on the way, man
aged to secure all of the furs from a
small company of Hudson's Bay men,
whom he met. These men were under

at the transaction, but confessed that

Slim Women

Material

NEW YORK, Dec. 4-(P)-
The New York Dress Institute,
seeking new ways to conserve
the material used in dresses, dis
closed today that the American
woman has already done her
part toward conservation of fab
RIGS by pairing down her figure
several sizes.
Sixty per cent of the misses
dresses sold today are size l2's,'
Maurice Rentner, member of the
Dress Institutes conservation
committee, said.
Ten years ago, sixty per cent
of the misses dresses sold were
size 16's, and there were plenty
of stylish stouts sizes AZ and

1--WE didn't even have size 10,
then" he said. Nov we sell as
many size los as we used to sell
16's, and the stylish stout bust
ness had diminished almost to
nothing. >.
1T is strictly up to us design
ers to figure out how to use less
material. The little woman has
done her part by making herself

Some New York designers
are a little puzzled as to just
where to subtract from Milady's
frock next.
I'VE have eliminated pockets,
pleats, tucks and hens, and cut
dresses about as short as they
ought to be-" said Sophie, Ut

committee can think of new
tricks, III be glad to use them.

of Attorney Charles O. Mat
tingly, Al, her one time protege.
Special Judge Charles B.
Staff granted a defense motion
to defer sentence. The convic-
ton carries term of two to
81 years in the State prison for
women. She was charged with
first degree murder in the slay-
ing of Mattingly, an attorney
examiner for the Indiana Pub
lie Service Commission.
Mattingly was shot to death
on the night of July S, 1941, as
he sat with his bride in the
home of friend here. The State
charged Mrs. Payne killed him
because of jealousy over his
marriage. The defense contend
ed she had become temporarily
deranged and one of the con-
tributing causes was because
Mattingly had left her and mar

Hockey Loses
80 Men to Var
R Features

N) Features
Hockey has gone to war along
with all branches of athletics
but it is doubtful that any other
sport has lost such alarge per-
centage of men as the ice game.
About 80 out of $50 men playing
in the National Hockey League
last year are now serving in the
armed forces of United States
or Canada.
The puck chasers have been
given the word from Washing
ton and Ottawa to carry on. 1t
is particularly important in
Canada that the game be played,
and in certain cities in the
United States the winter sport
provides entertainment for the
many thousands engaged in de-
Tense work.
The rule regarding the num-
Der of players to be dressed for
game has already been cut to
IA, and may be reduced to IL. AS
every club has 10 or more mar
ried players with families, they
will carry on. Some critics be-
lieve better, at least a more
scientific brand of hockey will
result from the smaller squads
because players will remain on
the ice longer and the better
players will take advantage of
this added time.
