Eldred of Rockville Center, L. I., has Just won the distinction of becoming the first eagle' scout among 300,000 of his fel low boy scouts of America. The title of eagle scout Is awarded to the boy who has gone through the three different degrees of scouting, namely, tenderfoot, necond class and third class scout, and who has passed the tests in twenty-one different use ful and fun-giving activities, including firemanship, gardening, woodcraft, cooking, horsemanship and handi craft. When it is considered that the na tional court of honor of the Boy Scouts of America has awarded only 141 merit badges to about fifty boys In the last year, Eldred's honors seem ull the greater. Before he gained his honors, however, he had to undergo a thorough schooling in all the sub jects prescribed for him. Another boy who has gained signal honors among the Moy Scouts Is Vin cent Devlnny, member of the bear pa trol, Olivet Troop No. 3, of St. Faul. He got a medal of honor for saving the life of Harold Hillman, another Boy Scout. Devlnny and Hillman were swimming In Birch lako on August 2. 1911, when Hillman got a cramp and sank for the second time. Devlnny went after him and finally pulled him to shore and resuscitated him by first aid methods. s Killed by Shuck of Fire Ithaca. The shock of the burning of the central school building caused the death of E. Kirk Johnson, secre tary of the board of education. Mr. Johnson; who was seventy-ono, hur ried to the fire and entered tho build ing. He Inhaled smoke and on the way back home was overcome by acute Indigestion. He died at mid night of uraemle poisoning, the vital organs having become paralyzed by shock. Even a left-handed man everything right. may do 2.-1,000,000 AMERICANS NOT CHURCH MEMBERS Pendleton, Ore., May 6, '12. The weakest link in the article which Mr. Robert J. Linden publish ed in the Live Wire on May 3rd, is the statement that the Gravel Bitu lithic Pavement is laid on a loose gravel base. This shows his utter lack of knowledge of Gravel Bitu Uthic construction. As a matter of fact the Gravel base is mixed with Bitumen and placed on the street at a temperature of about 250 degrees Fahrenheit and compressed by roll ing with a heavy steam roller. The surface Is prepared in a similar man ner and the finished street Is a solid monolithic pavement. The statement also reads: "I will not discuss the qualities of this pave ment, nor will I compare it with a pavement resting upon an immov able foundation of concrete.'.' Well, from the above statement I judge that the party knows very lit tle about Gravel Bitulithic and also that it is a good thing not to try to compare the qualities of the two pavements, for one would find him self floundering in deep water to find a scientific argument in favor of the rigid pavement compared to the elas tic resilient pavement. Here are a few missing links In the afore mentioned article. It speaks of contracts awarded in Port land. This I am forced to contra dict, as no such contracts have been awarded and I have certified letters from city officials of Portland to that effect. . It also ay?, "Bitulithic was $2.1u per sq. yard, and 23c per yard ad ditional for five years' mainten.ir.ee." The price, as the fart sta'nds, was $2.00 per sq. yard with no mainten ance charg?. The article states again that Bitu lithic patents are in the hands of the Standard Oil Co. This is absurd as the patent is not on a Bituminous Cement, or the article pertaining to oil, but is on the mineral aggregate mixture, which is the grading and mixing of the rock and sand itself. I wish to state in this connection that the Warren Bros, have manufactured Asphalt and Bituminous Cement for the past thirty years, laid nsphalt pavement for nearly twenty years be fore the Invention of their famous Bitulithic Pavements, and have laid Fltulithic for the past eleven years And when they guarantee to turn a street over at the end of five years' use In a perfect condition, you can be sure they will he here to fulfill their contract and will not have dissolved and- blown to the four winds before the time has expired. The citizens of Pendleton do not have to leave their own city to see a sample of the high class pavement laid by the Warren Brothers Co. Main and Court Streets having been laid for six years are in perfect 'con dition. Therefore in summing up I will say that the chain of thought displayed In the newspaper article under con sideration, contains many very weak links and several links are missing entirely on the grounds of misunder standing of real facts as set forth in the article. T. A. HARROW. Representing Warren Bros. Co. (Paid advertising.) perty. Her husband owned property valued at $1,500, but which was en cumbered with a $750 mortgage. Judge Murasky told Mrs. Bishop the only thing he could do for her would be to give her action and speedy trial and that he believed she could manage to live off her Income in the meantime without any temporary ali mony. He denied the application to have the husband pay $200 to the wife's attorney, declaring the wife was fully able to pay her own counsel fees. It is understood another man to be named for the position. is FEIGNS DEATH AND DIES. SLAVERY IX SOUTH AMERICA. Child Falling Over to Fool Pedes- trians, Hag Xeck Broken. Shenandoah, Pa. Robert Waters, 9 years old, son of T. C. Waters, a well known business man, was found dead on the mountain road north of town. The victim was playing "dead" with a number of companions, and while falling to the ground to make pedestrians believe he was dead, struck his chin against a protuding stone, breaking his neck, causing his death instantly. PASTOR AS POLICE HEAD. Canton, 111. Pastor W. T. Kessin ger of the local United Brethren church has applied to Mayor Fox for the position of chief of police. He says he wants an opportunity to clean up the city and would expect to retain his pulpit if appointed. Mr. Alexander P. Rogers, who late ly made an engineering trip through South America, tells of the barbari ties committed by rubber adventurers to get cheap labJr. They entice pe ons to come from the interior of Bo livia under the promise of high wa ges. As soon as the unsuspecting na tives arrive, they are arrested upon complaint of an agent of these men, who charges that the peons owe him several hundred dollars. They are taken before the Judge, who is also an accomplice and who immediately inds the peons guilty and sentences them to work out the debt on the boats that carry gold and rubber down the rapids. The conspirator, own the boats, of course They forco the victims to work until they dropv from exhaustion or die of fever.

That there ure twenty-five million persons in the United States with no church affilia tions, was declared today in a report of the Board of Home Missions, to tho quadrlennial conference of the Meth odist Episcopal church.
