SCOUTS
(Conducted by Nat.un.i eouncll of the Boy
Scours of Ai' j,
WHAT SCOUTING REALLY IS
Scouting Is the process of making
real moa out if ronl boys, by a rul
program which works.
Scouting is a huppy, wholesome,
worthwhile, outdoor school.
Scouting is a huge, spteinliilly or
ganlzotl game, a progressive game. It
gets somen here.
Scouting is more than a game. It
tenches signaling ami first aid and
fire fighting and outdoor cookery and
a host of other useful nud Important
things. It tenches also self-reliance
and holpfulness, courage and courtesy,
loyalty and reverence, patriotism and
honor.
Scouting Is nonsectarlan, though its
Ideals are lu accord with those of the
modern church and it is based upon a
pledged allegiance to the sen-Ice of
God, the brotherhood of man.
Scouting is not organized for war
service, not yet exclusively for peace
service. It Is organized for service, all
service, any service, high or humble,
big or little Just service.
Scouting inculcates a patriotism
which holds itself ready to serve coun
try In whatever form the need and the
call tuny come. Preparedness is the
scout platform.
Scouting is democratic. It alms not
to run every boy into one groove, but
to help each to develop into the fullest
manhood of which he Is capable.
Scouting also knows no bounds of
class, or creed or Tace. It speaks the
universal language of world boyhood.
The end and uim of scouting is good
citizenship, to make men "physically
strong, mentally awake, morally
straight."
SCOUTS LARGEST WORLD BODY.
Do people generally know that the
Boy Scouts of America is the greutest
single volunteer organization In the
world? It was the largest organization
taking part in the two campaigns for
the Liberty loan. There are millions
of scouts all over the world, In every
country.
Since America went to war the
things that have happened to the I!oy
Scouts of America and the part that
boy scouts all over the globe have
been culled upon to play in pressing
forward the activities that will win
this war have made an epoch In the
boy life of this land and of the world.
Wnr conditions demand nn Increase
In numbers and elluleticy. There
should be 2.UO0,XX) I5oy Scouts of
America in the country. There would
lie that number if men who may not r
to the front would undertake at h
this work of practical patriotism. 'i';;o
boys who are not yet scouts are just
as anxious to serve the nation as the
boy scouts who are.
The president of the United States
lms given scouting a definite place in
the national affairs.

MAKES FAEIS LAUGH
German Papers Give Lurid Tales
of Bombardment.
City Is Serena and No One Pays Any
Attention to Long-Range
Gun.
Tarls, Franco. The itamuga causvj
In the 1'rtrls district by shells from tbo
long rune German canuou has been
Insignificant In pivinirtiou to the mii tli
prookctl by Uermau newspaper re
ports giving lurid accounts of tha
damage, panic aud consternation lu
the French capital since the bombard
lucut began."
One German paper says great num
bers of dead are buried at night ; that
the people of I'uris take their break
fast and luncheon in their cellars ami
that all those who can leave tho
stricken city are hastening to a safo
distance. Another says that tu the high
tension of nerves resulting from the
havoc the common people, "who aro
unable U leave the city" are bringing
about trouble that amounts to riots
after each unfavorable comtnuulijuo
from the lighting front.
The situation in l'arla has been de
scribed fully by ruble. No disorder of
any kind lias occurred apd Instead of
consternation there reigns and has
reigned from the begluiuug perfect
tranquility. No one pays further at
tention to the long ratine guns than to
speculate nfter each explosion as to
where the shell fell. Most of tbo
shells fall in the soft earth of the
couniry districts.
The few shells that have reached
(Settled portions of "the Intrenched
camp of l'arls" have doue astonish
ingly little harm. Kven the shell that
went Into a church on Good Friday
killed no one, the casualties resulting
from the cnvlng In of the arcl es. Had
the shell not happened to strike a pil
lar supporting the celling few If auy
of the congregation would have beeu
hurt. Shells have fallen within ten to
thirty feet of buildings w ithout doing
more damage than breaking windows.
'WHO'S LOONEY NOW?'
Mystery at Psychiatric Unit at
Great Lakes.
Blocks and Puzzles Appear and Disap
pear by Magic When Rookie
It Examined.
Great Lnlas, Til. "Who's loonoy
now?"
This Is the big question over at the
psychiatric unit at the naval training
Kta! ign.
. few days ago Enslcn John Shnrpo
b nvered tin ex-Klelhl-ofdiand per
fortaer nmoiiR the recruits in deten
tion. Mr. Sharpe ncized t'le opportun
ity fur Home fun. He called tlu
psychiatric unit, asked for Chief Yeo
man Itoilds and suid :
"I have u loon I am fruiiiK to Bend
over. He is as crazy as a bat, ko
watch out for htm."
Then turidtiK to the delKlit-of-han.I
mun lie remarked : "Go over and nhosv
them a Rood time."
Vhen the "loon" appenred at the
unit, Iodils showed him to a Bent,
brought out the various Mocks and
puzzles and started to find out wheth
er his patient was born crazy or at
t n I n . ' It later.
"Take these blocks" Dodds boKan.
I'.ut the blocks had disappeared, ltusl
ness of searching high and low, but
no blin ks.
Itmlds registered consternation, ex
citement, perplexity but atlll no
Mocks,
"I think you will find them In your
rlKht coat pocket," said the man be
iii examined. And nitre enough, there
they were.
rnl!s tried again :
"Nuw here Is a picture, look nt li
ten seconds anil ti ll mo about It."
"When' Is the picture? This la only
n piece of paper," said the mystery
man.
Hodds replied, "I gave you a pic
ture." "Here Is what you gnve tne, sir."
The picture was gone, Iiodds whs
certain he handed it to the alelght-of-luinil
man.
"Did you look In the chair, sir?"
asked the "loon."
Iaalds found he was pitting on the
very picture he had Just banded the
actor.
Several tilings disappeared In llk.
manner until It was suggested that
aoine one certainly did need an ex
amination but not necessarily the
sleight-of-hnnd man.
When he left Do'ds was counting
blocks.
