This ef fectually Influences the boy's nature and character so as better to pre pare him for that work which the church can best do. The Scout Motto. The motto of the Boy Scouts Is "Be Prepared." This means that the Scout is always In a state of readi ness in mind and body to do bis duty. The Scout Oath. Before he becomes a Scout the boy must make the following promise: On my honor, I will do my best: 1 1. To do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout law: 2. To help other people at all times: 3. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. The Scout Law. 1. A Scout is trustworthy. 2. A Scout Is loyal. 3. A Scout Is helpful. 4.

The above remarks are msde In response to the popular question of "What Is Scouting?" Under the various headings you find the re quirements and such as are lived up to by the boys of the Scout program. The 11121 Summer Camp. Two weeks were spent on the North t'mpqua river In a summer camp which was located approxi mately one mile beyond Bock creek. This was the largest camp ever held In Douglas county under the Scout leadership. There were forty boys In attendance at this camp, and all report a most enjoyahlo time. Many also advanced in rank. The talk is already under way as to this year's camp. All hoys who attend tho 1922 camp must have passed their second class tests In order to be adiuilted to enmp. This means that nil who Intend to attend this camp must lie In Ihe Scout work hy February 15th. All those coming in afler this date will not be admltled to this year's camp. The Scouts will hsve appli cations at the exhibit at the auto show this month and also during an niversary week, which Is from Feb. 8 to 14. Itiisehunt Scouting. Tnvp No. 2 Is again under way and doing somewhat better than last year, under the leadership of Dr. Iiil iard. This troop has been having rather hard link, but It is quite evi dent that they have at lust gotten their stridw and will lead Troop 1 a merry chase before long. Troop No. 1 hns Junt finished a contest in which the Black Bear patrol won the silk flag, just nosing out the third patrol known ss the Flying Eagles. The first patrol had the pleasure of re ceiving tbe cellar position and also the BOOB flag. Troop No. 1 has at the present time fn first class Scouts, four of which are merit badge men. Wallace Perry heads the list with 25 merit badges, with Hall Seely next, having 15 merit badges, and then Paul Qeddes with 14 to his credit. Harold Woodruff has suc ceeded la getting one merit badge thus far. At the present the boys are preparing their exhibit for the auto show. What Are Merit Iladgea? A merit badge Is obtained by studying up on a certain subject such as first aid, personal health, marksmanship, cooking, sewing, swimming, photography, forestry, carpentry, athletics, electricity, busi ness and about 80 others. After thorough study they appear before one who ia well versed in tbe subject and pass the necessary ex amination, such as, for Instance, one lad studies up on first aid he then appears before a physician and takes tho prescribed examination. A Ijook Forward. Our next move Is the exhibit that you will find on the second floor of the armory during the auto show. This exhibit without a doubt will be one of the best exhibits In the build ing, as the boyg are working over time at the present ana nave been for quite a time -getting their vari ous models built. All models that you will see are made by Scouts. One model which will be quite Interesting will be the model of the Evans Park suspension bridge, which Is made hy the Flying Eagle patrol. This exhibit will be well worth your time and just a beginning of this year's work. Tho boys will also be supplied with application blanks for membership and answer any questions along Scouting that you are desirous of knowing. We want your boy. Bring him with you to the auto show and allow him to show and prove to you that Scouting Is a real program for a real boy. I am sure that the ex hlbt that the boys ore putting over will be an eye opener for you. as It is the most elaborate exhibit yet put over by tbe Roseburg Boy Scouts. Following tlie display at the auto show you will have time to think It over and when you hear from us again you will be ready to let Johnnie join the Scouts. Why? Just keep your eyes and ears open and watch for the week In February from the 8th to the 14th, which Is known as the Boy Scouts anniversary week. We will bo 12 years old this year and JuBt old enough to be Scouts. Every lad Joining up at this time will have time to pass the necessary tests to become second class which will permit him to at tend the summer ramp, as only first and second class Scouts will be ad mitted to this year's camp, no ten derfoot being admitted. Stop at our auto show display and look over the pictures taken at last year's camp and be convinced. The boys are now making ready for the anniversary week program end dlHplays. There will he some thing doing for Scouts each day of this week. The following sugges tions give you an Insight ss to what is doing on this week-. Wednesday night a get-toeether of all Scouts; Thursday night is known as home folks day, this evening to he spent at borne with the parents: Friday Is known as troon day. when the varl ous troops gather together: Satur day is outdoor day. with a hike of some kind; Sundav all Scouts attend church, at which time an appeal will bp made for Scoutmasters. Monday being celebrated for Lin coin's birthday gives us nnother out door day for good turns and such; then Tuesdny, the InHt day. Is known as get-a-Sepiitmaster day. There will also he window disnlnvs and first aid demonstrations and knot tying and the like. Also during this week the boys will be after reerulta with the hope of being able to start at least two more troops of Scouts 111 Itose- burg. Are you as an individual will ing to do your share hy having your boy a Scout or by helping as a Scout master or by being a member of a troop committee? We need you very badly in this eity. What docs your boy do during his spare hours? Let us have him and give him something worth while to do that will help him and be of benefit lo him in later years. If you ore s'lll In doubt Just visit our meetings, oil are' welcome at all times. We .iced your support and we must have It to keep on. The lifgion's lEesolutinn. The American Leclon at Its con vention in Kansas City passed the following resolution for the splendid service rendered thvm by the Boy Scouts: "The convention recommends to post commanders that they co-operate in the Boy Scout movement and encourage lncmliers of the Legion lo render such service as they may be able, especially as organizers and Seoul masters of troops." The Legion ulso passed a resolu tion of appreciation of the local Boy Scouts for their noteworthy and valuable services during the conven tion. Jood Tunis. I do not think It iiicessary to men tion the various sued turns the boys have given the rliy of Itoseliurg, for you well know and even look for them when there is anything doing along the lines of parades and such, for the boys you have always found were .lohnnlo on the spot. It might be of Interest lo you lo know that there Is not one person connected with the Scout priicrain In Koseburg who receives any compensation for the good turns accomplished by the Scout program. - t.enernl. The above Is written with the Idea of enlightening each and every one on the Scout prngism, what It Is and how it works, and the requirements each Scout must pais In order to be ndvaneed. There is no end to Scout ing. When the boy becomes 1 8 he is advanced to assistant scoutmaster, at 21 to Scoutmaster, and ss nblllly In creases he can advance to executive and still higher honors. f 'om-ltiliu. It Is sincerely hoped that you have received some eiilic'ntenmvnt on the subject of Scouting after reading this article, and the !" now ask that you present yourself at the auto show held at the armory and visit our exhibit and ' the real things In Scout Inr. We don't ask that you take our word lor it, but come and BONUS LOANS Within a very few months, the State of Oregon will commence paying its ex-service men thousands of dollars upon mortgage loans. In order to secure such a loan it is essential that you have a clear title to the property offered aa security. -Vr'I' tti g You should have your abstract prepared at once in order that there may be no delay in closing up the loan. Many minor defects in titles can be cleared up without much difficulty but it takes time to secure quit claim deeds, copies of unrecorded patents, affidavits, etc. If you wish to secure quick action in closing your loan be prepared, order your abstract now.

The period of evolution of the au tomobile does not span many years, but. the. evolution has been none tbe less spectacular and complete. From a creation of uncertain behavior it bus become today a well behaved thoroughbred of known habits and perfect reliability. The driver no longer needs to carry war clothes in momentary ex pectation of a cull to the front. He sits in his seat, starts bis motor by pressing a button with his hand or foot, and probably for weeks will not need to do anything more serious than feed his anlinul gas and oil, screw up a few grease cups, or apply tho air hose at a service station. And yet the traveling along this road of reliability and mechanical perfection has not been Busy, and the grades have not been negotiated, or the heights reached, without many trials and failures. The application of the internal combustion engine, the electric motor,- and the storage battery to the development of the modern types of mechanically pro pelled road vehicles has been a far reaching engineering problem com bined with great difficulties. Nevertheless, through tho aid of Ihe best scientific mid mechanical minds In this and other countries, every detail has received the amount of attention to mako it as nearly perfect as possible. ltoud troubles, with the exception of tires have becomes almost negligi ble, and even the Inexperienced novice who knows barely enough to keep Ihe road, ventures oil long tour ing trips without fear of gelling stranded. Astonishing refinements in tho ig nition, lighting and starting systems have lately been effected, thus In creasing the reliability of tho elec trical equipment of the automobile as well us adding greatly to the pleasure In running the car. This together with the extension of the electrical control In the shifting of gears, applying the brakes and other Important functions, has made the electric current assume a position in connection with the auioinohlle sec ond only to tho motor Itself. Altogether as a whole' Ihe auto mobile has become standardized, and unless some unforseen develop ments are brought about, future changes in either tho gas or electric automobile will be merely along the lines of greater refinement of the mechanical and electrical devices used. Notwithstanding the high degree of reliability, automobiles as they ret older will need the attention of the repalrniun. This is particularly true of car, that have become two or three Reasons old. lniHrtalue of Klectl-irily 4111 the Automobile. The electrical equipment In the automobile has constantly Increased In Importance tin 1 1) today It Is the nioM Important auxiliary on Ihe au toinolille. Electricity now cranks tho motor, ignites the cas, sounds the born, liKhts the car. the road ahead, and see for yourself. As you know, "See ing Is believing." C01110 and let us prove it to you. We are expecting to nee you at the armory on one of these da)S, Jan uary 1i. 20-21. THE BOY SCOI TS OF AMERICA, Uuscburg, Oregon. stores up Its own energy for future j service. Even in their present highly per fected state, the electrical equip ment still constitutes the weakest element among the motor auxiliaries, in fact It Is subjected to more fre quent defections than any other single element of the cur's construc tion. This Is not to bo taken as Imply ing that It la defective in any sense; it is quite the contrary. Ignition, lighting and self-starting systems have been developed to a degree of reliability far beyond the dreams of a few years ago, but owing to their nature are more susceptible to de rangements. Consequently a sub stantial proportion of the minor troubles of the auto's operation that still survive to worry Ihe mo torist, arise from some failure of tho electric system. Many of these are due to tho Inexperienco and Ig norance of the motorist himself. Knowledge of Necessary Principles. To acquire a good practical work ing knowledge of electricity as ap plied to the automobile of today, It Is essential not only to find out how things are done, by watching the other fellow do them, but why cer tain things are done and why they are carried out In Just such a way. In other words, the man whose knowledgo Is based upon technical training and principal applies know ingly the cause to produce tho effect and is certain that the desired effoct will be produced. On the other hnnd, the man who goes aimlessly about working only with his hands, trust ing cheerfully to luck to accomplish two things. One of these Is to strike upon the remedy for the trouble, the cause of which Is Bought, and the oilier is to deceive the spectator usually the owner of tho car Into believing that the "fumbler" really knows hlfl business. There are accordingly Iwo distinct classes as regards the elecirleal equipment of automobiles, one that Is picked tip by note, an Iscolnted point at a time and applied In the snine manner, and the other which Is based upon a clear Insight Into the underlying reasons for tho various actions and reactions that make up tho different electrical phenomena Involved. If we want to know what Is wrong with an electric motor or generator, It Is essential we should know what makes an electric motor or genera tor operate, when everything Is right. In tho s.11110 way It would be groping in tho dark to attempt to investigate the reasons fur the fail ure of a generator lo generate cur rent or a storage battery to give up Its ehnrgo If we had no knowledgo of why a generator when driven by me chanical energy, normally produces an eleclrlc current, or why nil ac cumulation literally gives back Its charge when lis current has been closed afler charging. A thorough understanding of these principles Is necessary to enable 0110 to remedy the various Ills that affect this apparatus and to recognize at once thoHo of a nature serious enough to bo beyond the first nld the best equipped garage is capable of giving. It Is worse than a waste of time to hunt for a ground or sborl circuit aa the cause of failure of the self starter to crunk the inolnr, when the owner's neglect of the storage bat tery has permitted tho plates to sulphate badly they ' practi cally worthless. Contempt of "technical training" is not wholly a tiling of the past, and many men consider themselves "practical" In Insisting upon learn ing how lo do things with their hands alone. Tbe trained man. however, is he who can Instruct others how things, should be done; he uses his head to acquire a knowledge of the theory upon which practice Is based and then employs his hands to much bet ter effect by letting his brain guide thorn. In conclusion, the fallowing "Don'ts" may be of aome value to the motorist: Don't expect your storage battery, each morning, to respond to the press of your foot, by spinning tho motor, as your storage battery pro duces electrical energy and not me chanical energy. Don't, on Ihe other hand, expect your self-starter to produce mechani cal motion when your storage bat tery Is dead. Don't continue to use your self starter when your motor fails to start, but apply it intermittently, let your storage battery get its wind. Don't expect to draw energy indefinitely from your storage bat tery without putting energy back Into It. Storage batteries eat elec tric current and drink pure distilled water. Battery hospitals and board ing houses are numerous. They sail electric current but give them free drinks. Don't throw up your hands in de spair when your electrical system fails "there's a reason." Reason able care and attention Is Impera tive. Don't fall to have an Inspection made occasionally. Don't overload your storage bat tery with unnecessary electrical ac cessories. Don't forget to notice your "dash" ammeter occasionally; It Is .the watch dog of your storage battery. Don't forget that your generator will fail to charge the battery when the brushes are worn out. Don't run your car with the stor age battery disconnected; you may ruin your generator. 1-ast but not least, don't fall to keep In mind that your storage bat tery Is tho nerve center of your car's electrical system, high strung, sensi tive, and through the derangement of any of Its system it is liable to a nervous breakdown, rendering your motor car useless at a time when Its service is badly needed.
