The Brigade game Is to bo Rugby football, the schedule of which Is yet to be arranired and the frame tauerht to the boys. This game, say the officers of the Brigade. Is different from tho American football. Insomuch as those who nartlclDate need not be heavy' weights, thereby glilng all the boys a chance to Indulge In this sport. This rame is being; played at Stanford Unl verslty. and Is said to eliminate the dancer of physical Injury which exists In the American football. Six Companies Formed. There are six companies formed In the Brigade, representing; In all about 150 boys, wltk II. C. Krura as Division Commander. The main object Is to cui. tlvate In the boys self reliance and re son reef ulness and an ability to help others: to promote'the habits of obedi ence, reverence, discipline and self-re- roect. A religions organisation In military form Is really what the Boys Brlgade Is. but the Boy Scouts Is non-sectarian. Of the latter. General Sir R- 8. Baden- Powell says: "There Is no military meaning; at tached to the name scouting." Peace scouting; comprises the attrlbntes of colonial frontiersmen In the way of re eoarcefulnees and self-reliance and ths many other qualities which make them men among; men. There g no Intention of making; the lads Into soldiers, or of teaching; them blood-thlrst'ness. But under patriotism, they will be taught that a citizen must be taught to take his fair share anion his fellows In de fenae of the homeland aa-ainst aggres- elon In return fr the safety and free dom enjoyed aa an Inhabitant. He who leaves this duty to others to do for h Ira is neither playing; a plucky nor fair Dart- Scoutcraft consists of first-aid. life- saving-, tracking;, signaling, cycling;, na ture study, seamanship and other in traction. The Instruction la accom plished by grames and team play which Is not work for the boys, but pleasure. Tnlforms to Be Rem red. As yet the local companies are not equipped with uniforms and rifles, but these are to he obtained aa soon as sufficient money has been subscribed for the purpose. Many boys of the city are taking; active interest In the or ganization, and it Is anticipated that the coming; year will wltnesa a large Increase in membership. The T. M. C A. is planning; to form a wireless corps In the Brigade, when a detail of boys will be assigned to this line of work. Two transmitters and recelvera will be taken out Into the field and signals riven. They also take up other flag; signaling.

Confessing to Tetectlres Day and Ilrde that ho stole $roo from the Steel UrMjt grocery, a week ago. Lindsay Williams. 19 years old. employed by the grocer aa a delivery boy. told the officers yesterday how he committed the theft. Being familiar with the surroundings, 'Williams had no diffi culty In gaining entrance to the store, where be looted the till and started out the way be had entered, but could not succeed Ho then started to re move a pane of giass by taking; away the putty, when he chanced to think of some keys In his pocket, and with one of them picked tho lock of tho dour. A woman of the neighborhood saw the man clambering over the fence, when Williams was maklnr his en trance, and called a police oflcer. Tho patrolman made a search of the prem ises, but found nothing.

In The Oregonlan . of this morning; I read the statement of W. G. McPherson concerning Mr. Bailin g sug gestions In ths plana, specifications and construction ot Sullivan's Gulch bridge across Grand avenue. Is It not a' fact, Mr. McPherson. that while yon wars chairman of the Bridge Committee of the Executive Board, during Mayor Lane's administration, that ths specifications for the con struction ot that bridge called for a gravel ft:L level with the railroad irackT and Is It not a fact that there 1 but one concern In ths City of Portland that could mace that fill, and la not that concern the Paclflo Bridge Company? Is It not also true that It would require an undeterminable quantity of gravel to make the fill which was to be directly under ths bridge, and would coat at least. $10. 000, and might have gone as high as I20.000T Is it not true that the piling that was finally driven In the gulch npon which the piers were built, waa driven to a depth of more than 100 feet Into the mire? Did not tho first plans and specifications for that bridge call tor said gravel fill T After tho fill was made, were excavations made for the driving of the piles and building of the piers? And did not said specif 1 catlona call for wood block paving; on the roadway and deck of bridge, and wooden sidewalks on each side? Now. Mr. McPherson. Is it not true that FTed A. Ballln. engineer, called your attention to the fact that said fill was Impractlcbt and unnecessary, and a waste of the city's money? Is It not true that yon acted on the sug gestions of Mr. Ballln regarding ths elimination of -Jd expensive and un necessary fill, and immediately brought said matter to the attention of Mayor Lane? Were not all bids on that mat ter then rejected by tho Executive Committee and new plans and specifi cations ordered, which conformed to the suggestions of Mr. Ballln In re gard to said useless fill and his sug gestion to substitute concrete for the sidewalk and asphalt for the roadway on said bridge? Was not tho bridge built with these changes at a cost of nearly 120.000 less than the lowest bid made on the first plans and specifica tions? Is It not true that the Union Avenua bridge and ths Twelfth Street bridge have since been constructed minus fills, but with a similar eape reconstruction. as suggested by Mr. Ballln for th Grand Avenue bridge, and has the city not profited because of the suggestions made by Mr. Ballln concerning tho proper construction of the Grand Ave nua bridge? Probably Mr. Swlgert'a company lost an opportunity to sell to the city forty to fifty thousand dollars worth of gravel on these three bridges. Do you think that Is ths reason some body is sore on Mr. Ballln? ARTHUR LANOGCTE MOTHER'S CIRCLE FORMS COXGRKSS ORGANIZES NEW BRAXCH AT IRY1XGTOX. Mrs. II. L. Walter Elected President.

Too often the offorta of boaevoiont man and social moth ers axe Dot auccaasful bocauae they begin too late. The theachtlaeanMa, th Sgnoranoe ef par ents Is appalling. To raise the standard of home life means more tbaa the learning of bow to proriae xor ana keep a bouse in e nat munw; It m uis the living of a Ufa of morality, of love, of tanderneaa and kind s'; It means refinement and culture: It means the endeavor to attain, happiness that greater than pleasure: it moans an en larged consciousness; It means discharging of jour obligations to your fellows. In th growing standard ef home life, selfishness. tear, arger and vanity should find, no place of permanency.

CURE ANY COUGH THAT IS CURABLE Get from the drugstore, and mix together In a large bottle, 2 ounces of glycerine, 8 ounces of pure whisky and ounce of virgin oil of pine. Shake well, and take a teaspoonful every four hours. It will quickly heal any Irritation of the mucous surface in throat and bronchial organs. ' This formula was used and recommended for many years by the late Dr. W. A. Leach, who claimed it would break up a cold In twenty four hours and cure any curable cough. The well-known healing proper ties of pine, in Its action on the respiratory organs, are present in the genuine virgin oil of pine. This, combined with its absolute freedom from opiates and narcotic drugs of any description, makes it an Invalu able remedy for the family medicine chest. In the case of young children, a dropvof the pine on a little sugar provides a pleasant, as well as effective remedy for coughs and colds. Oil of pine Is also frequently used in this way by preachers and public speakers, to relieve hoarseness and other affections of the vocal organs. Its effect Is almost instantaneous. The genuine virgin oil of pine Is put up in half-ounce vials for dispensing through druggists, and prepared only in the laboratories of the Leach Chemical Co, Cincinnati, O.. who guarantee its freshness and purity.
