These six alone have the right to continuously wea i the khaki uniform. This fact is not, generally known, j The Boy scouts movement had passed the experimental stage and the organization had proved its worth before congress passed the law mentioned above. The act of con gress,appro,ved by the president of the United States, officially confirms We are Still Selling Gasoline at Per Gallon Might go up any day, Monty's Tire Shop .

Kay any time I cease to be a scout, I wltl ' turn over' to the .scoutmaster my membership certificate, badges, uni form and" other scout insign'a." The Importance of tnis fvrm of application Is found in the fact, ai stated In previous articles. tLut the Boy scout is one that ha .ilJa- tarily consented to the scout patn and law and that boys are not al lowed to keep the scout badges and uniform and insignia if th-y il j not continue actively as scouts or rcfusj to abide by the obligations that they have thus assumed. Parent Certificate i - In addition to the appl'cV.Icn of the boy and on the same form ther is an accompanying certilicate of tL.y parent or guardian of the applicant showing that the oblJgaUorc to )S assumed are now- familiaar to the parent (or guardian), that the ap plication is made by his consent and that, he pledges cooperation in seeing that the boy fulfills his ob ligations. Here then Is spread the trail of the scout as to the organization un der which he works. It has been carefully mapped out in Us present form as the result of year of ex perimental process.

' LEXINGTON GOOD IS SEEN V IN RUSSIANS People Arc Victims of Des- potic Rule pf Former Czar, Says Employer r "Keep your eye on Russia." said an employer In Salem yesterday, who claims to have intimate knowledge of that strife-torn land and to 1U teething mass of. millions of people. "I have no fault to find with many of the individual Russians," said he. "They are as industrious, enerour and kind-hearted as the people of other races. But, as a clae?, they are cursed with the blight of ignor ance. The laws In Russia wero en acted by the favored few and en forced rigidly against the great mass of people. Government in Russia for centuries, was despotic : In the extreme. "This rule of iron developed a spir it of law evasion among the people. It was considered quite honorable even a mark of shrewdness to be able to violate the law and escape discovery. In other words, the typi cal Russian was quietly and insid iously schooled to be a law-Lreak-er. ; "Now. that is whr we have so trouble with many of the rank and file of Russians who come to this country.' Their mental attitude la against any and all forms of law. In their ignorance they do not seem to be able to distinguish, between the beneficial laws under which they live here and the oppressive laws under which they were brought up in Russia. . "That is why so many of these people are among the most trouble some of onr foreign population. They are willing recruits to the ranks 01 bootlegger, moonshiners, Bolshev icks and all sorts of anti-laW and anti-American propaganda. "Deporting the leaders Is', all rlzht. but this way of handling the red menace that hai come to us from Russia wilt not alone hold these peo ple in check.- They must be taught to distinguish between the helping hand of Uncle Sam and the. Iron fist of the former czar. Their children, educated In 'out schools, will, of course, become good citizens. It is the Illiterate grown-ups who are coming here right from Russian soil that will continue to give us trou ble." ; - -"'ft; M AS rr Will That great ttrcrh f nunJ ml iy. tr.at cxhaustlets mercy, that IHON WILL, that nuke a.frr.oas acrchact out of a hus-.l-i clerk, as nuliionsirs cut of a je.irajcjs in migrant, a Lincoln out of a woodchoj-pcr oltctj cose from red blocAi rich La ire a. - -Do yom lack power of dedsion. crerrr. asi rtamira?
