, ' " DOUQLA3 COUNTV")i
To test the ability of the Hoy
Scouts of Host burg to respond to
an emergency call, Mayor tlouck
has writ ton a letter to each scout
master of the city, asking him to
l ave his troop mobilized at a cer
tain time and a certain place.
The scout's motto is "lie Pro
pared." The radio, newspapers
ami magazines give many inci
dents of service rendered by the
Scouts in time ot emerseucy
or calamity. Their service in many
Instances could bo duplicated by
no other organization, and they
stand alone In the peculiar ser
vice they are able to render a com
munity. '
The Roseburg scouts have
reached an average stage of ad
vancement and are prepared, as
individuals, to render service in
auy emergency. However, they
have never be on tried out us troop
units.
While it Is not expected that
Roseburg will be visited with any
calamity necessitating the eaihi-K
of the scoutB into service, yet such
an emergency might arise at any
time, and it Is for the purpose ot
testing out the ability of the troops
to mobilize and orsanize for emer
gency service that the test Is to bo
conducted.
The BcoutmasterH are giving no
information to the moinbers or
their troops, but will suddenly
send out notice for Immediate
mobilization and very soon t here
after it is expected that Scouts
will be seen going at a tuti pau
for the place of assembly.
This mobilization is strictly a
part of the Boy Scout program and
has no relationship to the army or
national guard, which frequently
conduct somewhat similar tests.
Rabbit Industry Brings
Government Help
Experiment Station Opened In
California Meat and Fur
Yields Heavy Revenue.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 8. Neces
sitated by the rapidly expanding
rabbit industry of the west, a new
United States rabbit experiment
station has been opened at Fon
tana, Cal., to develop reliable in
formation concerning the best me
thods of breeding, feeding and
housing rabbits, and to study their
diseases.
- Several slaughterhouses are op
erated In the Los Angeles district
where from 25,000 to 50,000 rab
bits a month are killed, dressed,
anil marketed for hotels, restau
rants and homo tables. More than
$1,000,000 worth of dressed rabbit
meat was mnrketed In Los An
geles alone in 192G.
Rabbit fur Is used 'more cxton-
sively by the fur trade than any
other kind. -More than 100,000,000
rabbit skins are utilized annually,
of which the United States a pres
ent produced less than two per
cent.
Approximator? J25.000.000 worth
of rabbit skins are imported atf
uually from Australia, New Zea
land, lietglum, France and other
foreign countries. About 55,000,
000 dressed and dyed pelts are
made into fur garments and into
trimmings for women's coats, suits
and dresses. The remainder, or
skins not suitable for garmonta.
are used as linings for men's and
boys' gloves and in the manufac
ture of felt, used chiefly for mak
ing hats.

WASHINGTON. Mar. 9. Tips
I to sleeping car porters arcs still

The Interstate Commerce Com
i mission dismissed a complutnt of
the Brotherhood of .Sleupiug ur
Porters against the Pullman com-
pany, which sought to end the
practice of having sleeping car at-
temlants take a portion of their
wage in the gratuities of lue trav-1
cling,. public. t
The petition which the commis
sion turned down sought an order
against the Pullman company
which would have at least hamp
ered the continuance of the tip!
ping custom. j
"Pullman passengers are under
no legal obligation to pay more
than tho scheduled charges," the
decision said. "We are reierreri to,
j no faw which prohibits lipping ot j
ipulliv.an portera."
"Tipping in tho Pullman servlco
was practiced long beforo the con-
gruss began to regulate interstate
carriers and it is reasonable to us
suine that if congress intended
the practice of either giving or re
ceiving tips to bo unlawful, it
would have so declared in ex
press terms." ;!
