SCOUTS
(Conducted by National Council of tho Boy
Hi-out of America.)
WORK OF A SCOUTMASTER
A big work, this being n muster
scout. What manner of man Is needed
to do It?
First of nil, tho scoutmaster" must
bo n real mnn himself, tho kind of u
man boys will naturally follow, admire,
respect, emulate anil obey. No amount
of book knowledge, no degrees In icdu
gogy will nvnll If he doesn't Improsn
the boys us Uio "real stuff."-
His must possess that Indefinable
'(Utility wo cull personality or "person
al magnetism." Ho must be n man of
proved worth of character. He must
stand four-square to the scout princi
ples In practico as well ns precept.
To le a successful boy leuder, a mnn
must know human nature In general
nnd boy nature In particular. He must
be nblo to remember back to his own
boyhood clenrly enough to bo uble to
get tho boy's viewpoint. Ho must be
enough of u boy himself, whatever his
years, to put himself Into a relation
of sympathetic comradeship with boys,
nnd nt the same time be enough of n
man and a muster to keep sufficiently
uloof, so that his boys will recognize
his authority nnd accept It ns final.
Ho must possess tact, Initiative, pow
er of quick decision and action, for nl
most uny emergency railing for the
prnctlco of theso qualities muy urisc
ut nny time in his work with boys.
The scoutmaster Is nlo expected to
get in touch with such experts ns his
community offers, nnd enlist their serv
ices In scout training.
Boys hnvo nn immense respect for
anybody who can "do things." The
wise scoutmaster frankly owns himself
nn nmuteur, nnd n lenrner If ncccs
sury, nt tho sumc time keeping himself
In o fnr ns possible ahead of his boys.
Three hours n week is probably the
minimum tlmo required. Nevertheless
It is true that somo of the best scout
masters nre otherwise the busiest men.
Just because they nre busy men, they
uro npt to be efficient men, men of
power and personality, accustomed to
putting their margins of leisure to
profitable use. Cortnlnly no better u;o
could be found for the spare hours of
it good citizen nnd patriot than to help
In the process of making men, men who
arc to be the hope nnd salvation of our
war rent civilisation.
MINUTE SCOUTS IN THE SOUTH
Birmingham (Ala.) boy scouts have
an organization known us "Minute
Scouts." They ure selected with n
view to service entirely, the rank of

school authorities certify as to wheth

to such a point that he will be excused
ut uny time for scout work.
The organization Is limited to 100.

member wears the gold 100 per cent
duty badge procured from national
headquarters, nnd this Is the only ex
cuse he needs from school when un
emergency cull Is sent In'for uny work
connected with wnrtlmo nctlvltles.
If n member of the first division
fulls down In his studies or in his
homo duties or In his ervlco or In his
troop, ho Is dropped and a member of
tho second division fills his place.
NEED OF SCOUT LEADERS.
Tho special drive for more scout
masters to head troops for tho many
boys who want to Join tho Boy Scouts
of America but cannot has especial
slgnlflcnnco because of tho need of
offsetting tho increase In juvenile
crime.
Massachusetts bus an Increase of 05
per cent in crlmo among tho boys
within the lust twelve months. Detroit
reports un lnereuso of nearly BO per
cent. Newnrk nnd Toledo boys' courts
havo noted n largo access of mischief
due to tho war excitement nnd. tho
luck of proper direction for their nc
tlvltles.

Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain
You reeklem mm aad woaea wko
are pestered th eonm and who bare
at least once a week Invited aa awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are bow told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drcs called freezose, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callous the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callous, root and all, HfU off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment It Is ap
plied, and staply shrivels the corn or
callous without Inflaming or even Ir
ritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A email bottle ot freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, Iiut will positively rid one's
feet of every hard or soft com or
hardened callous. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get It at
any wholesale drug house for you.
