Boy Scouts played In the memorable en
campment, and pictures of tho loaders
and the scouts In action are shown.
A basketball game reoelvod a serious
setback and uns finally called oft Friday
night because one team of players were
anxious to learn how to become Boy
Scouts Although the game had been
scheduled nnd nil preparations were made
for It, when tho time came for play to
begin the boys decided In favor of being
Initiated Into the knowledgo of scoutcrnft,
and let tho gamo tako care of Itself.
It happened at tho Walnut Street Pres
byterian Church, Walnut street near 33th
streot. The Boys' Club there had sched
uled u basketball game with a nearby
team for that night, and had also ar
ranged a meeting for tho purposo of form
ing a troop of Boy Scouts While the
mooting, which was addressed by Deputy
Scout Commissioner ,Pntton, was In
progress, tho visiting basketball team ar
rived ready to play, Tho game was sot for
another day, and tho church team re
mained until the end of tho meeting. A
number will bo assigned to the newly
formed troop as- soon ns It recelvcs,a com
mission. Tho musto for a Boy Scout song has
Just been presented to Dr. Charles D.
Hart, chnlrman of tho Ezeoutlve Scout
Council, by tho woll-known composer,
Harry Rose Shelley, of New York,
through the kindness of Booth Tarklng
ton, the "HooBler novelist." Mr. Shelley
Is tho composer of several comic operas
and numerous popular songs. His comlo
operas havo hnd successful runs In re
cent years Words are now being put
to the song, which will bo ndded to tho
Boy Scout song book.
Because he wns overburdened with
work, nudyard Kipling declined to write
a song for the Scouts. Tho letter he sent
rend:
"Dear Sir I am much obliged for your
kind latter nnd can only express my re
grot that I am afraid that, owing to press
of work, I cannot see my way to meet
ing your request for n Scout's song.

that cloak rooms are being used for In

III Automobtfe Trade-Mark Hi
The "Triangle on the Radiator" 4s probably the
best-known of all automobile trade-marks.
It stands for more in the estimation of the public
than does any other insignia on a motor-car.
Thousands of buyers ask no other evidence than
the Hudson Triangle.
They know its record for quality, prestige, perfect
automobile satisfaction.
The Car Behind the Trade-Mark
The Triangle has become great because of the ear
behind U.
From the Triangle on the Radiator to the electric
tail light every atom of the car has been through
the crucible of the Hudson Engineering Board.
Only accident or misuse can prevent a Hudson
owner getting 100 pleasure and service from his
car. In the hands of tens of thousands of users,
the world over, its supremacy is demonstrated daily.
The Company Behind the Trade-Mark
Success is the best guarantee of value.
Inferiority always fails. The dazzling white light
of competition reveals every defect, pitilessly tears
the veil from every subterfuge.
The Hudson Motor Uar Company is as lamous as
the Hudson Car. Its marvelous success has come
from giving the public what it wants at the price
it wants.
Every Hudson "owner is a Hudson salesman
because he finds in his car exactly what the Com
pany says is there.
The "Triangle on the Radiator" is the signature
of the Hudson Motor Car Company. Buyers accept
it as a bond guaranteeing in their car everything
needed to make it as good an automobile as the
world's best engineering skill can produce.
Come see the Hudson Six -40 and Sfat-54.
Tha cars that have swept competition aside liira
cobwebs. At $1550 and up these cars with
the famous "Triangle on the Radiator" are out

i Yours is a Home Without a
Piano, Then This is for
You Especially
It's a message of good news to tell you that yours can be a home with a piano and a better home
because of it.
Not only that, but you can better afford RIGHT NOW to make it a home with a piano than at any
other time. !
For now is a time when nearly any sort of piano that you would choose for your home can be
bought in
The World's Greatest Piano Sale .
at a price much less than you would pay at any other time for an instrument as good and upon terms
that involve little drain upon the purse.
Perhaps the purchase of a piano has remained in your category of 'things-to-be-done"
with the long-dreamed-of trip abroad, the diamonds, the furs or a pony
cart for little Billie. i
But the piano does not belong to that Get-Some-Day, it belongs to the other list the list of GET
NOW. J
In the great list of pianos, player-pianos, piano-players and organs we published last Saturday,
there were, as you must have noticed, a large number of duplicates; especially is this true of the splen

A large number of the pianos have been sold, but the variety, the wide range of selection, is
