RNP NOTES OF THEIBDY SCOUTS® LOOK FORWARD TO BIG RALLY Hundreds of Scouts Anxious to Participate in Con tests in Fall The hundreds ct Boy Scouts of J the city are eagerly anticipating the j big rally and contest which will , probably be held in September in | the Board of Trade building or I Chestnut street auditorium. The first action on this move was taken this! week at the bimonthly meeting of, the city scoutmasters. The commit- ! tee arranging the rally includes j Garfield McAllister, of Troop 4; Wil liam A. Frantz, of Troop C, and A. , Miller, Troop 7. The rally and contest was first i planned by Scout Executive J. H. Stine to create a closer relationship > between the various city troops. The j idea was heartily agreed upon at the | meeting and the scoutmasters at ( once began to arrange for the event, I which will be the first of its kind for , Harrisburg. Through the courtesy of Robert ' B. Reeves, general secretary of the j Y. M. C. A., another big time is [ scheduled for the scouts when an j open house will be held in the asso- j elation rooms soon after school j starts. The scoutmasters will make | further plans for the big rally at | their next meeting which will be held in the Y. M. C. A. building Au gust 7. More thap fifty local Boy Scouts J have taken advantage of the offer' of Secretary Reeves, of the Harris burg Y. M. C. A., to receive mem bership tickets for the association for the summer months. The scouts receive the tickets at the scout head quarters, in the Calder building, and then have Mr. Reeves, countersign them. These cards give them the privileges of the boys' department j during certain hours of the day and ' certain days of the week. The tickets expire in October, but nevertheless the scouts will have had several months of enjoyment at the associa tion. TROOP 11 FINDS A HORNET S NEST At 10 o'clock the troop members left the city for Little Round Top. They arrived at their destination in time to cook dinner. After dinner some of the boys not thinkinpr they were having enough m < xcitement, in pursuit of some. Scout Gilbert Lyons stepped on a hornets' nest and excitement in plenty soon followed. Mr. Manser was bitten on the inside of his nose and other scouts on all parts of their bodies. Scout Lyons, however, got tho best of the deal, receiving ten stings. Games were played and the troop returned home by a different route. At the meeting on Monday even ing at 7.30, Mr. Manser announced that the scout camp at Craighead will he held during the last two weeks in August. Offers for tents have been received from several firms, but as yet none have been de cided upon. Notice to Scouts of Troop 11 All scouts of the troop arc request ed to attend the last few meetings before we leave for camp as ar rangements have to be made. Charles H. Crist, scribe Troop 11, Market Square Presbyterian Church. First Hike of Troop 17 to Hershey; Fine Outing Members of Troop No. 17 of Im manuel Presbyterian Church went on their first hike to Hershey re cently, starting from the church at Sixteenth and Liberty streets, about 9.30 o'clock.

FRIDAY EVENING, PRESIDENT WILSON COMMENDS SCOUTS WHITE HOUSE Washington ! My dear Mr. Livingstone: Thank you for your letter of the 21st of June.

My thanks also go to the scoutmasters I who directed and assisted the boys. Cordially and sincerely yours, WOODROW WILSON. Mr. Colin H. Livingstone, President, Boy Scouts of America, Washington, D. C. Seven boys from Harrisburg were awarded War Service Emblems for their work in the recent Liberty Bond cam- j paign when the city subscribed more than four millions to to the big war loan. BOY SCOUT L By ARMSTRONG PERRY, in (Boy's Life) I IT was at Margaretville, X. Y., but as Margaret wasn't around the two boys decided to go swim ming. In getting ready to go in— or as we might say, in coming to himself—one of the boys outstripped ! the other. Maybe he took off his shirt on the run. Anyhow, he went j right into the water. He couldn't swim, which was a' great mistake, as he was twelve i years old. He went in over his head i and that was mistake number two ! Besides this there was a strong cur- j j rent, so everything was against him. J The cool, calculating individual I who took time to undress himself! j properly was a Scout. This was for j tunate. The other fellow might have j drifted all the way down to Delaware j | Bay if it hadn't been for the Scout, j j But Herbert Anderson, tenderfoot, | J was right on the job. He swam after | | his imperilled friend, broke a wrist ! ; hold, secured a proper grip, reached | shore and straightened out the whole { j situat.on. All he knew about life I | saving his scoutmaster taught him, CUT-RATE MEDICINES -==- | RINGLEADERS FOR SATURDAY ONLY(%)j Saturday Sale of Saturday Sale of Saturday Sale of Tooth Powders f %x Toilet Creams /MT\ Talcum Powders / I ( Pierce's \ "v Uterine ) - { ki„ slo f 7Sc \ I I I „ ' I /. , I Mary r * ar l en Grcascless Cream 75c i CastOria I Palm Olive Talcum Powder lie / Green S \ Prrh 1 n!7 V *** J Mnrvo.ou, CI.l Mo \ / Hlgli Jinks Talrnm Powd<\ u, I August \ I \ -n? / T \ / Umlaut's Marvelous Cold Croam Tube. ...

KENNEDY'S 32MV1ARKBTSTJ he says. Whether he knew much or little, it worked, and that's the ob ject. Bronze medal? Sure! S SEVEN miles from ' Laurens, S. C., there is a body of water J known as Holmer Pond. One; j bank is steep and two feet from! ! shore the water is nine feet deep. | j On the other side tbe bottom slopes! j gradually. j Two boys started to take a third, 5 j who could not swim, from the deep j | sid<? to the shallow side. He placed j j a hand on the shoulder of each! swimmer. It was a risky piece of | business and resulted as might have j teen expected. The swimmers sepa-J i rated and the other boy was left | without support. Frantically he' I threw his arms about the neck of the | I nearest boy. Both went down. I Harry McAllister, a patrol leader! j in Troop I, saw the trouble from a! | distance and promptly did his duty, j I Although he was sixteen and well' known, he was taking chances in HARRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH I I | trying to handle two persons In deep ' water. He managed it by treading and | working his way toward shore. Most of the time he was under water, but [ he held the others up. The bronze medal which the Na- J tional Court of Honor awarded to ! him was well deserved. THE movies have nothing on real life when it comes to thrills, es- I pecially in Virginia. A physician in New Castle, seeing | a drunken chauffeur driving, at reck j less speed, a car containing a young J lady, watching foj an opportunity j and took charge of the car himself, j The chauffeur objected and draw ! Ine a revolver, threatened the physi ! cian's life. The doctor's wife witnessed the ! scene and called for help. Scout Ce ! cil Edward Wright of Troop I, heard j her cry and went to the rescue. Ho wrenched the revolver from the hand of the intoxicated chauffeur and in all probability saved the life of the ! man who had given protection to the ! young lady. The National Court of Honor sent the Scout a letter of commendation. SCOUTMASTER GEORGE H. STAPLES, of Troop 4, Worces ter, Mass., prevented a suicide I one Sunday afternoon last winter. There is a dentist's office in the ! building where he is an engineer and ; to this office he traced the smell of ! escaping gas. The door was double I locked. Mr. Staples quickly secured I keys and entered. He found the den- I tist lying on the floor with a rubber tube in his mouth. The tube con- 1 209~VfALNUT ~S*f.

The atmosphere was heavily charged and dangerous. The scoutmaster shut off the gas, secured help, removed the uncon scious man to another room and placed him beside an open window. Then he called an ambulance and the patient was removed to a hos pital where he revived. The cool, resourceful work of the scoutmaster was recognized in a let ter, of commendation from the Na tional Court of Honor. ANTHONY FADER, attenderfoott t Scout in Troop 7, of New Or-' leans, La., would have received an honor medal if the regulations of j the National Court of Honor had 1 permitted the granting of a medal to a Scout who had saved a life with- J out risking his own. With his father he was returning from a hunt when a man in the dis-1 tance frantically waved his arms at! them. They stopped and when he; came up he told them that another, hunter had been wounded in the foot and was lying in a swamp, about; three hundreds yards away, groan-' ing. The Scout went to the wounded l man. Thanks to his training in first! Aid, he was able to apply a tourni-j quet and stop the the loss of blood, i which had become dangerous. With j guns and coats he improvised ai stretcher. Right at this point he might easily | have made a serious mistake, but he; did exactly the right thing. He let j otjiers carry the stretcher while he, held the stick which controlled thej tourniquet. As the patient was car- > ried two and a half miles, fatal con-1 sequences might have resulted if the tourniquet had been too tight or too] loose or the pressure too continuous. In other words it had to be done right. The methods which he used arei common knowledge among Scout 3, but to the people who surrounded the ambulance when the patient was brought to it they were entirely new. The crowd marvelled that a boy of fourteen should know so much. Troop Four Plans Outing to Conodoguinet Creek Troop 4 will take a pleasure trip to-morrow afternoon.
