The Scout law referred to In the oath embraces 13 requirements, and he promises to be trustworthy, loyal, help Lcheerful. thrifty, brave, dean and rev- ful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient. erent, arid to a boy this means no lying or cheating, doing one good turn to somebody every day, helping women.

Her occupation while In Turkey, together with her natural interest In that country have fully equipped her to say what its future might be.

What Scoutcraft Teaches. But' all this doesn't sound as if boys would be likely to fall over themselves trying to be Boy Scouts., Boys don't just naturally fall In with the idea of washing the back off of their knuckles in winter time, tending the baby when there Is a ball game somewhere and being strictly truthful when there is something they wish to do very, very much and their parents do not wish them to do, unless there is a reward tucked away somewhere to sort of sugar coat the bitter pill of duty and discipline. And It is just here that campcraft saves the situation, for campcraft means learning to build a fire by the friction of two pieces of wood, where matches are not available; cooking food without utensils of any GOOD ROADS PLANS; RALLY IS POSTPONED Convention Will Be Held Some ' Time Earl Next Month, According to Decision. In order to assure a more, represen tative attendance from all sections of the v stats, the statewide legislative good roads committee has decided to defer until some time early next month the good roads convention originally scheduled to be held in Portland next Saturday. "This decision was reached by the committee In view of the tremendous interest in the good roads, bond bill that is being manifested in every county In the state," said Bruce Den nis, executive secretary of the com mittee, yesterday.

And it means tying knots. In fact. a,boy has to know how to tie 12 knots before he can obtain a merit badge for pioneering. They must be good knots, too, that can be tied quickly and untied quiqUy, but which must not slip while they are in use. He must be able to go f nto the woods and sustain life- without any equipment or provision If necessary; to know by the stars where he is, by night, and to tell the cardinal points by day In noting that the moss grows j on the north side of the trees. J Si Baden-Powell started the move ment In England, following his- experi ence in the Boer war, where hie found the children of those hardy Dutchmen better able to take care of themselves when removed from the pale of civili zation than 'were his own trained sol diers. While the war was in progress he wrote a pamphlet, 'calling it "Boy Scouting," and upon his return to Eng land was gratified to find that It had so impressed educators with the need of rjeginmng with the child if you wish tbe man to be self reliant, that the pamph let was UBed as a textbook in the schools, girls being taught the funda mentals the same as boys. Coming to this country soon after that he wrote a book on scouting for boys, which was distinctly military in character, although embracing the ideas of self Help, reliance n.nd resourceful ness. America, at that time was at peace with the world and hoped always tire work Is being done towards In forming the voters and explaining the real purpose of the road bond bill and Its provisions. By postponing the con vention or rally until early in May sufficient time will be given to en able the various communities to per fect their organizations and select del egates to the state wide meeting."

Civio Bodies Active: Numerous requests are also being; received from various civio bodies and other organizations throughout the state for speakers to present argu ments In favor of the bond bill. The demands are very generally for one of the hlgoway commissioners, but other speakers are enlisting and will be supplied' when the members of the commission are otherwise engaged Governor Wtthycombe has accepted an Invitation to be one of the speakers at a meeting to be held at North Bend April 19 under the auspices of the North Bend Chamber of Commerce.

Scout Aid la War. But now, with war clouds hovering so closely that it seems Inevitable, the Importance of the large body of trained and training defenders cstanot be over estimated, and the following bulletins are now out stating what the Boy Scouts can do in case of war: "Scouts are prepared to render first aid to sick or injured and can assist at hospitals. "Scouts know how to send and re ceive messages by semaphore or Mors code, and If the telephone and tele graph lines should be out of commis sion, they can mafhtaln communication to any point within signaling; distance. Many Scout troops hare efficient -wireless outfits. "Scouts know the publie boSdlnes, location of fire alarm boxes, hospitals, police stations, and they can assist the police and firemen as requested. "Scouts' pace enables them to cover distance quickly on foot when there are no conveyances. "With knife, hatchet and cooking kits. Scouts can help to shelter and feed persons temporarily homeless. "Long hikes, with careful observa tions, written reports and maps, have prepared Scouts to gather important information. "Thousands of Scouts have bicycles and can., carry messages and supplies. "Boys of Scout age are not wanted in the army or navy, but Scouts of man age are always among the first to of fer themselves, when needed, for mili tary or civic service whichever they are best qualified to perform. "Boy SCouta everywhere will do their duty to God and their country. Every boy who becomes a Scout pledges him self to do this:" Locally the Boy Scouts are making the most of the preparedness propa ganda, and are enthusiastically taking 10 weeks' course In first aid work ; from Dr. Lloscomb. who rave first aid training to the forest reserve patrol recently, one of the boys successfully passing a written examination which he took as an experiment April 7, officially known as "waste paper day," will be a busy one for Portland Scouts, as they are planning to put some of their thrift principles Into action on that occasion and will distribute 5000 small banks to the j children who can begin saving on that day in the little banks and afterward In larger ones. It Is expected that they will also contribute some of their "waste paper money for the relief of Belgian children. The spring hike of the Boy Scouts will start Saturday at 2:30, for a three days' outing on the Columbia, although there has never been any long period of inactivity In the organization, some phases of the work are going on all toe time. - SUITS Pressed, 35c Suits French dry cleaned or steam cleaned $1.00.
