VOL. VI—NO. 10 EXTRAORDINARY CASE NOW UP FOR TRIAL IN TENNESSEE COURT (Preston News Service) NASHVILLE, Tenn.—A case which some time ago created a deal of excitement in Memphis is again in the courts, and considerable excitement is now extant in connection therewith. The white press of the south calls the position taken by the defense of the Negro accused of attacking a white woman as "revolting." According to the evidence it is claimed that John Cook, the accused man, made a confession in which it is shown that Cooks attentions were not forced on Mrs. T. P. Cooney, but had been solicited. The woman, in a desperate struggle to save herself the usual humiliation of being regarded as having been friendly with a Negro, made a desperate effort to show that Cook had forced his attention on her. She declared that Cook had subjected her to the most cruel treatment, finally swearing to throw her into the Mississippi river over a bluff in Riverside Park. It is said that during her testimony, several discrepancy were found and the counsel for defense shattered her story in several places. However, it is thought that on account of the existent prejudice involved in connection with the case, Cook stands a poor chance of securing justice. Reading between the lines as the case progresses, indications are that this unfortunate relationship between Mrs. Cooney and Cook had existed for some time, and when it was evident that people suspicioned them of their clandestine association, Mrs. Cooney took the only course open to save herself and let Cook bear the brunt of the mutual misconduct. The case will go to the jury late this afternoon or early tomorrow morning, it is thought. Cook's fate will be known later. WHITE MEN TAKE MONSTSSEN, Pa.—When a group of Negroes, who had been working in the mills here, returned from Pittsburgh following a few days off after a pay-day, they found that their shacks had been occupied by some white men. Angered at this, it is thought that the Negroes opened fire on the whites who refused to leave the shanty, resulting in Sam Slocusky, of McKees Rocks, being seriously wounded. The Negroes fled and are being sought by the state police. MORGAN COMMUNITY HOUSE (PRESIDENT NEWS SERVICE) PITTSBURGH, Pa.-The Morgan Community House basketball team, under the coaching of W. P.

MANY NEGROES MIXED UP (Preston News Service) CHICAGO ill.-It seems that Mrs. W. E. D. Stokes has about secured enough evidence to convict four or five Negroes who are alleged to have conspired with Mr. Stokes in an effort to defame her character.

O. in proper fashion, Miss Florence Montgomery stands in a class by herself. According to the police who arrested her and lodged her in jail, charged with disorderly conduct, Miss Montgomery was fighting 15 or more men in a restaurant at $4\frac{1}{2}$ street and Missouri avenue southwest. The officers said that the woman floored each of the men as she came to them in turn. It is said that she issued a defi to the men and said that she could and would clean out the place and immediately proceeded to do so. She is said to be a woman of slight build, but has a deadly wallop as each of the men she floored can testify. The police claim that they found it quite difficult to land her in jail. She is said to have been under the influence of John Barlecorn when arrested. Witnesses in the restaurant claim that when she entered she signified that she had a bad case of the "blues," and felt like doing something desperate. She said that she hated men, because her "honey" had deceived her. SIKI IS MATCHED TO FIGHT NORFOLK IN NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK CITY, Oct. — The much discussed battle between Batting Skii, former light heavyweight champion of the world, and Kid Norfolk, ranked with the leading light heavyweight fighters of the day, will take place in Madison Square Garden on October 19, according to arrangements that are being made by Tex Rickard and his match maker, Frank Folurney. This bout was originally scheduled for October 12, but owing to the fact that the Singular Senegalese became involved in the law, due to boxing an exhibition in the Lafayette theatre, before he had obtained a license, the first date was called off. There is every indication now that the bout will take place on the evening of October 19. Both Norfolk and Skii have signed their contracts and it is very probable that the boxing commission will approve them. Skii, who will receive a license from the commission, will do his training in the gymnasium at Madison Square Garden.

Jones of Phoenix, who spent a brief vacation in camp with her husband. While in town, Mr. and Mrs. Jones and daughters were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Miller at the club house. A very enjoyable evening was spent, but the men folks had to retire to the billiard room, for when Mrs. J. and Mrs. M. got to talking, well, Carrie Nation would have chosen the nearest exit. Mr. John Brown, popular piano tuner, responded to our call through the Phoenix Tribune, and has been in our midst the past several weeks tuning 'em up for the fall frolics.

C., Oct.-It has been officially announced that Dr. Charles M. Griffith has been made head of Veterans' Hospital No. 91 at Tuskegee, thereby supplanting Dr. Robert M. Stanley, who resigned and was appointed in New Mexico. Dr. Griffith was first assistant to Stanley. Attention has been called by the Civil Service Commission to the fact that colored applicants for the various positions have not materialized as rapidly as was hoped for. It is pointed out that there are many positions both professional and civil still unfilled and that colored control will be delayed until qualified people have been secured and shown themselves competent to handle the various duties. The Veterans Bureau indicates that the chief issue involved is the best possible care of the patients, but that now the road is clear for colored people to assume the various positions, it is up to the group to produce the applicants for places. Colored physicians and civilians are being urged to apply and stand examination. GOVERNOR PARKER OF LOUISIANA IS AGAIN AFTER KLAN GOVERNOR PARKER OF LOUISIANA IS AGAIN AFTER KLAN (Preston News Service) BATON ROUGE, La., October—Governor Parker received a delegation from Jackson Parish last Tuesday to hear their story regarding the alleged domination of that parish by the Ku Klux Klan. It is said that Governor Parker declares that it is his avowed purpose to put an end to the infamous work of the klan in Louisiana. It was pointed out in the report to the governor that judicial authority had been usurped and that persons known to be opposed to the klan were being "framed" and punished, while those known to be members of the klan, guilty of crimes are let go free. The governor said that if all these allegations are true or even a part of them, the parish of Jackson was in a seething state of anarchy and such a state of affairs must be put down, if constitutional government is to survive. Country Club Opens The Phoenix Country Club, one of the most exclusive and popular resorts in the city, will be formally opened with a Hallowe'en dinner and dance on the evening of October 31.

Washington. 15 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year (The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Oct.—"North ain't South." Joseph Gazine, wealthy Italian of Hammond, Louisiana, found this out in Chicago. Marie Olmstead, a beautiful Colored girl of Louisiana, had been brought in virtual slavery by Grazine. In fact, the Louisianan, according to evidence brought out in the case, had a "special liking" for the girl, who had been in his home, where the wife is an invalid. Tiring of the treatment of Grazine, the girl came to Chicago. Detectives were placed on her trail, as well as members of the Klux. They learned of Miss Olmstead being in Chicago, and asked the authorities for her retention on a charge of taking a $5,000 diamond ring. Grazine came to Chicago, surrounded by a battery of Southern lawyers. Their case came up in Judge David's court. The lawyers, with true southern and Klux standards of justice, proceeded to show a deep point on why the girl should be sent back to the commonwealth of rice fields. One of the attorneys began to use the term "Nigger." He was preemeritorially reprimanded by Judge David, who informed the legal light that in the city of Chicago, all men and women are referred to as "Mr. and Mrs., regardless of nationality," and if any further insult were indulged in, someone would have to pay a fine for contempt. False Charges Trumped The upshot of the whole matter is: It was found that the affair had been trumped up; that a big diamond was practically 100 per cent glass, and that it had been presented to the girl by Grazine. A watch was exhibited with the initials of "M. O." which the girl alleges had been given her by Grazine. The case developed into such a travesty, that the judge advised the prosecutor to drop it, and urged the attorneys for Miss Olmstead to turn tables and bring suit against Grazine, which they proceeded to do in the sum of $30,000. Returns With Bride— Mr. Joseph B. Henderson, for many years an employee of the Arizona Eastern Railway, returned a few days ago from Houston, Texas, where he went to spend his annual vacation.

DON'T QUIT DON'T QUIT When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give up, though the pace seems slow— You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man Often the struggle has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup. And he learned too late, when the night slipped down How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out— The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you can never tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit— It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit. THE DUTY OF PARENTS Once more the schools of the city of Phoenix are opened, and the teachers are at their posts in their efforts to teach the youth the essentials of good citizenship. Every possible effort should be put forth by the parents to assist the teachers in doing the work they have in hand, with as little anxiety and trouble as possible. There is a general complaint that the average parent expects too much of the teachers, because they fail to do all that is required of reasonable and thoughtful parents. If the child is properly taught at home, it will make a model scholar at school and the teacher will find great delight in helping to shape its mind in the right direction.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Week Day Sermonette PETER'S MISTAKE Guided by Judas, the most ungrateful and depraved man known to history, the enemies of Jesus have found and arrested Him in Gethsemane. Peter thought the best and only way to show his love and loyalty was to offer physical resistance. Accordingly, he drew his sword and cut off the High Priest's servant's ear. Instead of praising him for his valor and urging the other disciples to get in the fight also, Jesus said, "Peter, put up thy sword." To the surface thinker, Peter, in this case, looks like a hero and Jesus like a coward and weakling. But he who reasons sees that action based solely on impulse is never wise and that Jesus gave Peter the best possible advice. Peter's course would have spoiled the whole plan of salvation, because it was no improvement on the prevalent practice of his day—"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Despite the counsel Jesus gave Peter on that occasion, the world has gone on making Peter's mistake. We could not have done so more consistently if Jesus had said "Unsheath your sword," instead of ocmanding Peter to put it up. The average man carries a chip on his shoulder, with his fist ready to strike anyone who knocks it off. Like Peter, he thinks of manhood in terms of the physical. Many wives have become widows and children orphans because men refused to heed the command of Jesus to Peter, "Put up thy sword." This awful result comes from a mistaken idea of manhood. If we, as individuals, would keep in mind the fact that manhood shows more positively in moral practices and spiritual discernment, we would cease to stress physical manhood to the neglect of the moral and the spiritual. Do not understand me to minimize the importance of having strong, healthy bodies. Ah! no, but we should let our strong, healthy bodies be the medium through which we practice the higher moral and sipiritual virtues. We misuse our bodies and abuse our God-given privileges when they show nothing but physical excellence. If brute strength and the spirit to fight had been most important, God never would have made men. The elephant is strong; the bulldog fights; they can show these qualities to a much greater degree than man. Because God loves universally and wanted some being to reveal that love, He made man. When, in our lives, we show more fight than we do love, we are not meeting the end of our existence. Much can be said on this topic as regards all races, but we shall discuss only the race problem in the United States of America. The white man has surely made, in an emphasized way, Peter's mistake in his dealings with the Negro. Peter had a real grievance against the man whose ear he cut off, because he was a member of the mob that took Jesus. But the Negro is not an offender. He was helpless and could be exploited with ease. Therefore, he has been brutalized and killed in every way conceivable. If Christ said to Peter, "Put up thy sword," surely He says the same to the American white man. He is saying also: "Put up the ROPE with which you hang and the TORCH with which you burn Negroes. Put down the oppressive measures you have used to curb the Negro's aspirations and to prevent his rising." My heart rejoices because the white people of the South are hearing the command of Jesus, with reference to the Negro, as they never have before. If you want evidence of the above, note the increased appropriations in every southern state for Negro education; increased library and recreational advantages; the growing tendency to economic and civic justice; the strong editorials in leading southern dailies and the resolutions of southern white women in nine states, against mob violence. If you need additional evidence, sit in one of the many conferences that are being held by white and black leaders for the purpose of interracial cooperation in everything that tends toward better race relations. Since Jesus uttered the words of the text, Carthage, Rome, Spain and Germany have fallen by the sword. History shows that with nations as with individuals, "The path of power leads but to the grave." This has been true of the past and will be true of the future unless nations, in accord with the command of Jesus to Peter, "Put up thy swords." Put them up not to substitute something more modern or deadly; but put them up to study and practice "War no More." Since fighting has never brought permanent peace, prosperity nor power, all individuals, races and nations, in self-defense and in the interest of world peace and the building of Christ's Kingdom on earth, heed the command of Jesus: "Put up thy sowrd."

"It's a good job!" he commented. "You couldn't tell it five feet off!" "They've made a cross-cut!" This time it was Anita's voice, plainly angry in spite of its whispering tones. "No wonder they had such a wonderful strike," came scathingly. "That other stope down there—" "Ain't nothing but a salted proposition," said Harry. "They've cemented up the top of it with the real stuff and every once in a while they blow a lot of it out and cement it up again to make it look like that's the real vein." "And they're working our mine!" Red spots of anger were fashing before Fairchild's eyes. "You've said it! That's why they were so anxious to buy us out. And A "We've Got to Follow." that's why they started this two-million-dollar stock proposition when they found they couldn't do it. They knew if we ever 'it that vein it wouldn't be any time until they'd be caught on the job. That's why they're ready to pull out—with somebody else's million. They're getting at the end of their rope. Another thing; that explains them working at night." Anita gritted her teeth. "I see it now—I can get the reason. They've been telephoning Denver and holding conferences and all that sort of thing. And they planned to leave these two men behind here to take all the blame." "They'll get enough of it!" added Harry grimly. "They're miners. They could see that they were making a straight cross-cut tunnel on to our vein. They ain't no children, Blindeye and Taylor Bill. And 'ere's where they start getting their trouble." He pulled at the door and it yielded grudgingly. The three slipped past, following along the line of the tram track in the darkness, Harry's pick handle swinging beside him as they sneaked along. Rods that seemed miles; at last lights appeared in the distance. Harry stopped to peer ahead. Then he tossed aside his weapon. "There's only two of 'em—Blindeye and Taylor Bill. I could whip 'em both myself, but I'll take the big 'un. You—" he turned to Fairchild—"you get Blindeye." "I'll get him." Anita stopped and groped about for a stone. "Til be ready with something in case of accident," came with determination. "I've got a quarter of a million in this, myself!" They went on, fifty yards, a hundred. Creeping now, they already were within the zone of light, but before them the two men, double-jacking at a "swimmer," had their backs turned. Onward—until Harry and Fairchild were within ten feet of the "high-jackers," while Anita walted, stone in hand, in the background. Came a yell, high-pitched, flendish, racking, as Harry leaped forward. And before the two "high-jackers" could concentrate enough to use their sledge and drill as weapons, they were whirled about, battered against the hanging wall, and swirling in a daze of blows which seemed to come from everywhere at once. Wildly Harry yelled as he blow_after blow into the face of his ancient enemy. High went Fairchild's voice as he knocked Blindeye Bozeman staggering for the third time against the hanging wall, only to see him rise and to knock him down once more. Dizzily the sandy-haired man swung about in his tracks, sagged, then fel, unconscious. Fairchild leaped upon him, calling at the same time to the girl: "Find me a rope! I'll truss his hands while he's knocked out!" Antta leaped into action, to kneel at Fairchild's side a moment later with a hempen strand, as he tied the man's hands behind his back. There was no need to worry about Harry. Glancing out of a corner of his eye, Fairchild saw now that the big Cornishman had Taylor Bill flat on his back and was putting on the finishing touches. And then suddenly the exultant yells changed to ones of command. "Talk English! Talk English, you bloody blighter! Talk English! 'Ear me—I'll knock the bloody 'ell out of you if you don't. Talk English—like this: 'Throw up your 'ands!' 'Ear me!" Anita swerved swiftly and went to her feet. Harry looked up at her wildly, his mustache bristling like the spines of a porcupine. "Did you 'ear 'im sye it?" he asked. "Give it again!" THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING THE CROSS CUT (Continued from last issue) A figure showed in the darkness, on horseback. An electric flashlight suddenly flared against the gleam of the carbide. An exclamation, an excited command to the horse, and the rider wheeled, rushing down the mountain side, urging his mount to dangerous leaps, sending him plunging through drifts where a misstep might mean death, fleeing for the main road again. Anita Richmond screamed: "That's Maurice! I got a glimpse of his face! He's gotten away—go after him somebody—go after him!" But it was useless. The horseman had made the road and was speeding down it. Rushing ahead of the others, Fairchild gained a point of vantage where he could watch the fading black smudge of the horse and rider as it went on and on along the rocky road, finally to reach the main thoroughfare and turn swiftly. Then he went back to join the others. "He's taken the Center City road!" came his announcement. "Is there a turn-off on it anywhere?" "No." Anita gave the answer. "It goes straight through—but he'll have a hard time making it there in this blizzard. If we only had horses!" "They wouldn't do us much good now! Olimb on my back. You can handle these two men alone?" This to his partner. The Cornishman grunted. "Yes. They won't start anything. Why?" "I'm going to take Miss Richmond and hurry ahead to the sheriff's office. He might not believe me. But he'll take her word—and that'll be sufficient until you get there with the prisoners I've got to persuade him to telephone to Center City and head off the Rodettes." CHAPTER XIX He stooped and Anita, laughing at her posture, clambered upon his back, her arms about his neck. Fairchild found himself wishing that he could carry her forever, and that the road to the sheriff's office were twenty miles away instead of two. But her voice cut in on his wishes. "I can walk now. We can get along so much faster!" came her plea. "Till hold on to you—and you can help me along." Fairchild released her and she seized his arm. Once, as they foundered through a knee-high mass, Fairchild's arm went quickly about her waist and he lifted her against him as he literally carried her through. When they reached the other side, the arm still held its place—and she did not resist. Some way, after that, the stretch of road faded swiftly. Almost before he realized it, they were at the outskirts of the city. Gruddigingly he gave up his hold upon her, as they hurried for the sidewalks and for the sheriff's office. There Fairchild did not attempt to talk—he left it all to Anita, and Bardwell, the sheriff, listened. Taylor Bill had confessed to the robbery at the Old Times dance and to his attempt to so arrange the evidence that the blame would fall on Harry. Taylor Bill and Blindeye Bozeman had been caught at work in a cross-cut tunnel which led to the property of the Blue Poppy mine, and one of them, at least, had admitted that the sole output of the Silver Queen had come from this thieving encroachment. Then Anita completed the rectal—of the plans of the Rodaines to leave and of their departure for Center City. At last, Fairchild spoke, and told the happenings which he had encountered in the ramshackle house occupied by Crazy Laura. It was sufficient. The sheriff reached for the telephone. "No need for harry," he announced. "Young Rodaine can't possibly make that trip in less than two hours. We've got plenty of time—hello—Central! Long distance, please. What's that? Yeh—Long Distance. Want to put in a call for Center City." A long wait, while a metallic voice streamed over the wire into the sheriff's ear. He hung up the receiver. "Blocked," he said shortly. "The wire down." "But there's the telegraph!" "It'd take half an hour to get the operator out of bed—office is closed. Nope. We'll take the short cut. And we'll beat him there by a half-hour!" Anita started, "You mean the Argonaut tunnel?" "Yes. Call up there and tell them to get a motor ready for us to shoot straight through. We can make it at thirty miles an hour, and the skip in the Reunion mine will get us to the surface in five minutes. The tunnel ends sixteen hundred feet underground, about a thousand feet from Center City," he explained, as he noted Fairchild's wondering gaze. "You stay here. I'll be getting my car warmed up to take us to the tunnel." A thumping sound came from without. Harry entered with his two charges, followed shortly by Bardwell, the sheriff, while just beneath the office window a motor roared in the process of "warming up." A moment more and a steel door clanged upon the two men, while the officer led the way to his motor car. There he looked quizzically at Anita Richmond, piling without hesitation into the front seat. "You going too?" "I certainly am," and she covered her intensity with a laugh, "there are a number of things that I want to say to Mr. Maurice Rodaine—and I haven't the patience to wait!" Bardwell chuckled. The doors of the car slammed and the engine roared louder than ever. Soon they were churning along through the driving snow toward the great buildings of the Argonaut Tunnel company, far at the other end of town. There men awaited them, and a tram motor, together with its operator. The four UT "Throw up your 'ands!" came the answer of the beaten man on the ground. Anita ran forward. "It's a good deal like it," she answered. "But the tone was higher." "Raise your tone!" commanded Harry, while Fairchild, finishing his job of tying his defeated opponent, rose, staring in wonderment. Then the answer came: "That's it—that's it. It sounded just like it!" And Fairchild remembered too—the English accent of the highwayman on the night of the Old Times dance. Harry seemed to bounce on the prostate form of his ancient enemy. "Bill," he shouted, "I've got you on your back. And I've got a right to kill you. 'Onest I'ave. And I'll do it too—unless you start talking. I might as well kill you as not. It's t penentitary offense to 'it a man underground unless there's a good reason. So I'm ready to go the 'ole route. So tell it—tell it and be quick about it. Tell it—wasn't you him?" "Him—who?" the voice was weak, frightened. "You know 'oo—the night of the Old Times dance! Didn't you pull that 'old-up?' There was a long silence. Finally: "Where's Rodalne?" "In Center City." It was Anita who spoke. "He's getting ready to run away and leave you two to stand the brunt of all this trouble." Again a silence. And again Harry's voice: "Tell it. Wasn't you the man?" Once more a long wait. Finally: "What do I get for it?" Fairchild moved to the man's side. "My promise and my partner's promise that if you tell the whole truth, we'll do what we can to get you lenency. So tell the truth; weren't you the man who held up the Old Times dance?" Taylor Bill's breath traveled slowly past his bruised lips. "Rodaine gave me a hundred dollars to pull it," came finally. "And you stole the horse and everything—" "And cached the stuff by the Blue Poppy, so's I'd get the blame?" Harry wiggled his mustache fiercely. "Tell it or I'll pound your 'ead into a jelly!" "That's about the size of it." But Fairchild was fishing in his pockets for pencil and paper, finally to bring them forth. "Not that we doubt your sincerity, Bill," he said sarcastically, "but I think things would be a bit easier if you'd just write it out. Let him up, Harry." The big Cornishman obeyed grudgingly, "Make hit fulsome, Bill—tell just 'ow you did it!" And Taylor Bill, bloody, eyes black, lips bruised, obeyed. Fairchild took the bescrawled paper and wrote his name as a witness, then handed it to Harry and Anita for their signatures. At last, he placed it in his pocket and faced the dolorous high-jacker. "What else do you know, Bill?" "About what? Rodalne? Nothing—except that we were in cahoots on this cross-cut. There isn't any use denying it"—there had come to the surface the inherent honor that is in every metal miner, a stalwartness that may lie dormant, but that, sooner or later, must rise. There is something about taking wealth from the earth that is clean. There is something about it which seems honest in its very nature, something that builds big men in stature and in ruggedness, and it builds an honor which fights against any attempt to thwart it. Taylor Bill was finding that honor now. He seemed to straighten. His teeth bit at his swollen, bruised lips. He turned and faced the three persons before him. "Take me down to the sheriff's office," he commanded. "Till tell everything. I don't know so awful much— VAN MICHEL "That's Maurice! I Got a Gilmpe of Hie Face!" because I ain't tried to learn anything more than I could help. But I'll give up everything I've got." "And how about him?" Fairchild pointed to Blindeye, just regaining consciousness. Taylor Bill nodded. "He'll tell—he'll have to." They trussed the big miner then, and dragging Bozeman to his feet, started out of the cross-cut with them, Harry's carbide pointing the way through the blind door and into the main tunnel. Then they halted to bundle themselves tighter against the cold blast that was coming from without. On—to the mouth of the mine. Then they stopped—short.

Out of this last number there are over 1,000 troops that are in places so small that ier do not even have 8, post office oF railroad station, What does this mean? Tt means that, unlike what is usual- | ly supposed by many people, the scout- ing program of great outdoor activi- tles, through which the heart of the boy is reached in helping to develop character and citizenship training, is just as applicable to the rural boy as it 1s to the urban chap, ‘Wherever one good, red-blooded man of high moral character takes hold of & group of ten or more boys and ap- piles the fascinating scouting program, the work brings the desired result, What is this program? A boy learns the scout oath and ‘law, how to tie a few knots, the his- ‘tory of the American flag and the form ‘of respect that 's due to it, history of ‘the scout badge and what it stands for, and then he is sworn into this great world-wide brotherhood of scout- ing as a tenderfoot. ‘Then he starts climbing the most fascinating ladder ot boyhood activities that have ever been presented, up the ladder to be- come a second class, then a first class ‘scout. He learns things about nature. ‘the birds, the trees, the flowers, the stars and the animals that he has “never known before. He learns how to be more resourceful and take care of himself in the great outdoors, how to cook and to tramp and cook in the open. He learns how to signal scout “messages through the alr in many dif- ferent forms. He learns how to take care of Immediate expenses and how to be of the most service in his com- ‘munity. The one slogan which guides his actions of every-day is to do at least one good turn daily. He stands by the scout motto of “Be Prepared.” This means to be prepared for any emergency of life and to render serv- ice to others, At the present time there is taking place in every part of the country what is known as anniversary round- up. ‘This means that there Is an at- tempt being made to recruit a net in- crease of 100,000 scouts by the thir- teenth anniversary of this movement in America, which takes place Febru- ary 8. Many elty troops are increas- Ing and there is great field for in- crease in rural troops. ONE SCOUT’S GOOD TURN When Mrs, Lilltan’ W. White ot Union Hill, N. J., noticed a boy scout performing his “daily good turn,” she decided to write ft up and enter it in a contest on “What Did You See Today?” that is being conducted by the New York Evening World. Mrs, White won an auto as a result. Here 1s her prize story as it appeared in the World: “Three boy scouts walked past a store on Bergenline fivenue, in front of which a baby, left outside while its mother did some shopping, was crying lustily. One of the scouts found the baby’s rattle and shook it vigorously with little effect. He tickled the baby’s cheek. The infant became interested. ‘Then the kindly boy scout made some queer and rather humorous faces. The erles died out. The baby regarded him solemnly a moment, then a sunshine ‘of smiles spread over the infant’s face and a tiny hand reached out to grasp the lad’s finger. The boy scout did not seem the least embarrassed, nor did he even turn around to see if any- one was looking at him. His “good turn” that day was to pacify that baby. And he qid,-and when the mother came back to the smiling infant, the boy scout smiled, touched his hat and re Joined his waiting companions.” | THE MAIN THING Ethel: “So Stellai s @ society re- porter.
