Scouting aa Applied to ltiNschiirir.
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.

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

Electricity Applied
to the Automobile
By W. It. Brown.
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.

The electrical equipment In the

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,

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.
