HOW BOY SCOUTS
HELP RED CROSS
Specially Trained, They Co
operate With Relief Organi
zations Throughout Country
Dr. Ernest s'. Bicknell. director
general of the American Red Cross,
and a member of the executive board
of the Boy Scouts of America, has
been in conference with other offi
cials nt the Boy Scout headquarters
this week, working out definitely the
plans proposed for the co-operation
of the 258,000 scouts and scout of
ficials with the Red Cross in its war
work.
Dr. Bicknell is enthusiastic about
the prospects of efficient aid by the
Boy Scouts of America in various
branches of Red Cross work. In the
tlrst place every Boy Scout receives
in his regular scout training instruc
tion and practice in first aid and life
saving, and many scouts have gained j
such high efficiency in tlrst aid that I
they have obtained the merit badge
which the Scout movement otters.
The second factor making for ef
ficient co-operation with a great re
lief organization like the Red Cross,
is that the Boy Scouts, wherever lo
cated, in big cities or in hamlets, are i
organized in definite groups and are'
under responsible adult leadership, j
This leadership can be quickly
reached with information ati de
structions from national headquar- ,
ters. Thus it is that more than a |
quarter of a million men and boys,
with special training become direct'
partners of the National Red Cross;
in the work it has to do to meet itsj
tremendous and steadily increasing
responsibilities in war time.
Naturally, of course, the service of
local groups of this kind can be
given more effectively in co-opera
tion with the local chapters of the
American Red Cross, and local scout
leaders everywhere will acquaint
themselves immediately with the
local Red Cross needs.
In working out the plan, it has
been discovered that members of the
Boy Scouts of America might be
utilized in assisting surgical dressing
committees, motor committees, by
acting as orderlies in motor ambu
lances or supply trucks, distributing
notices to inhabitants, and other
duties in connection with billeting
and carrying communication on bi
cycles, motorcycles, horseback or on
foot; assisting committees on foods,
by collecting information as to sup
plies, preparing quarters
service, assisting in collecting, pre
paring and serving food and refresh
ments to sick and wounded soldiers,
assisting first aid committees in the
preparation of quarters, as aides in
first aid work, and as assistants at
dispensaries, acting with informa
tion committees, as guides, orderlies,
clerks, collectors of information, as
to public or private hospitals avail
able, buildings available In case of
emergency, location or public tele
phones, listing of automobiles,
trucks, etc.
It will be for the local chapters of

DRY-DOCK ING SHIPS ON
KAILS TO MEET CONGESTION'
With the increasing demand for '
ships, due to the present day sliip
! ping situation. American vessels are i :
| being used to their full capacity. For
the purposes of safety, frequent
! overhauling becomes necessary,
j which because of tlio crowded con
: dition of American shipyards, re
quires dry docking. Limited facilities
for this purpose have led American
shipowners to put into use what is
known as a "railway dry dock" more
extensively than heretofore. Rcono
my of time and expenditure are con
trolling factors in this dry docking
system, which is capable of handling j
even the largest of ships.
The railway dock is built on a
track, resting on tirm foundations
and constructed on an inclipe. When
the vessel has been placed in posi
tion, being held by keel blocks, and |
bilge supports, the operation of dry
docking is accomplished by powerful
hoists, which haul the dock up the I
incline track. The largest of the I
railway docks can accommodate a
ship of 4,000 tons, and docking a,
I vessel is a matter of not more than i
an hour, while it sometimes takes j
live hours in the ordinary basin dock i
1 to lift a ship out of water.—From '

THIS MACHINE PACKS SILAGE
SO THAT LITTLE SPOILS
A machine for pucKtng silage in
a silo has been invented and tried
out by an lowa farmer. This me
chanical packer, described in the
Popular Mechanics Magazine, does
away with the disagTeebale task of
tramping the feed down with the
[ feet, it also does the work much
more satisfactorily for the machine
weighs a ton and is able to pack
the silage close to the wall as thor
oughly as in the center. The loose
ness of the material around the
edges, which often results when
silage is packed by tramping, is a
source of considerable loss because
the air gets into the fodder and
causes it to spoil. This machine Is
equipped with a heavy cone-shaped
roller whose length is about equal
to half the diameter of a silo. It is
driven in a circular course by a
gasoline engine mounted on the sup
porting frame. The packer can be
' quickly knocked down into parts,
