FRIDAY EVENING,
m?NOTE S OFTHEiBOY SCOUTS .$
BEGINS SECOND
YEAR OF WORK
Many Activities Shown By Ac
tive Members of
Troop 7
Troop 7 registered last week on
its second year's work, with 37
members. Four old members failed
to comply with orders that were is
sued so will be received on condi
tions as new scouts only. There
are several others on the waiting
list. Owing to the removal of As
sistant Scoutmaster Rev. G. T.
Schaum, Roy Stetler will serve the
troop as assistant scoutmaster.
The members of the troop council,
who will represent the troop on the
Local Council, are F. E. Musser, J.
G. Nungessor and Dr. A. Z. Ritzman.
The troop will continue to hold Its
weekly meeting during the month of
February on Wednesday evening to
comply with the ruling of the
church council in regard to the con
servation of fuel. Arrangements are
being completed to hold the troop
anniversary at the Y. M. C. A. Hall
on Tuesday, February 26, from 7.30
to 9 P. M., with a father and son
meeting. The scouts will be ad
dressed by several speakers on the
value of a true scout. A very In
teresting program is being arranged.
Arch Dinsmore of the Boys' De
partment of the Y. M. C. A., will
give the principal address of the
evening. The co-operation of the
fathers is needed to make the work
of the troop more effective in the
home, school and community during
the coming year.
The troop orchestra, under the di
rection and leadership of W. I* Bai
ley. Assistant Scoutmaster, will fur
nish the music at the Father and
Son banquet at the Y. M. C. A. Hall
to-night. The scouts feel highly
honored to be in attendance.
Following up the Father and Son
week, the scouts will assemble in
uniform as far as possible on Sun
day evening at 7.30 at the Harris St.
United Evangelical Church, to hear
Old French
Beauty Secret
Mile. De Lores, the famous French
actress who recently arrived in this
country and who is now in her 65th
vear, has astonished everyone who
has seen her. by her exquisite com
plexion and clear, smooth skin which
is not marred by a single line or
wrinkle. ... . .
When asked to explain how she had
retained her marvelous girlish beauty,
she replied that she had always prac
ticed one of the oldest of French
beauty secrets: a secret which for
years was jealously guarded by the
court ladies of Napoleon the First.
Jt consists of laying a warm cloth on
the face each night before retiring
for about one minute and then when
the cloth is removed, a generous
amount of ordinary am-o-nized cocoa
cream should be applied over the en
tire face and neck, massage it gent
ly Into the skin with the finger tips
for about two minutes, then wipe oft
the surplus with a soft, dry cloth.
Mile. De Lores says that any Ameri
can woman who has wrinkles and
large pores oryflabby, loose skin, can
easily and qnickly overcome these
destrovers of beauty by the use of
this simple yet delightful and natural
Beautifier, which is inexpensive and
can be found at almost any good
druggist's.
The above coming as it does from
such a connoisseur of beauty, should
appeal strongly to every lady who
appreciates what a fair face means
to the gentler sex.
Scouting Notes
By J. H. STINE
How many boys have telegraph
Instruments and would like to join
a class in telegraphy for scouts only?
HQs herewith announces that such
a ela?s will be formed if there are
enough boys who will seriously take
up the work, and providing that a
suitable place itan be secured and
equipment provided. Your scput
master will mention this at your next
meeting, if he has not already done
so, and will give you an opportunity
to express your opinion in the mat
ter. Let us know right away, if
you are interested, so that definite
plans can be shaped up without loss
of time.
Mr. Huntsberger, of "Six," tells
us that when he was In Toledo he
saw some scouts turned out for
actual tire patrol detail. Sixteen
boys were called from their schools
and reported to the local HQs with
in twenty-live minutes after they
were notified, fully equipped with
fire ropes and scout paraphernalia.
They were sent to the tire and aided
in keeping the lire lines, and one
detail arranged with a nearby res
taurant to supply sandwiches and
coffee for the fire laddies, gratis.
Thus does the spirit of scouting pre
vail.
It will soon be' time to turn at
tention ta the question of summer
camps. National HQs states that
minimum requirements will be es
i tabllshed this spring, and no camp
i will be permlttefl to go out as a
t'Bby Scout" camp unless these re
quirements are fulfilled. The re
port setting forth just what these
provisions will be is scheduled for
distribution in the very near future
and all scouts and scoutleaders will
be much interested in seeing what
a sermon to be delivered by Rev. G.
T. Schaum, who served as assistant
scoutmaster last year, and whose
great interest in the troop made
their camping trip a great success.
As Rev. Schaum joon leaves for a
new field of work, every scout
should show their great appreciation
by attending this special service for
the scouts by being present.
The good wishes of every scout
and go with him to his new field of
work.
At a meeting of the orchesti-a held
"Wednesday night at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Eli Golstein. 1934 N. 3rd
street, Joseph Goldstein was elected
assistant leader and Herbert Lam
bert, assistant pianist. Refresh
ments were served by Mrs. Gold
stein and the evening was much en
joyed by all present.
George Relnoehl, Troop Scribe.
TROOP TO ATTEND EVENING
CITVRCH SERVICE IN A BODY
All members of Troop 20. who
were present at the last meeting
took examinations on points 4, 6, 9
and 10 of the Second Class require
ments. Scout Edward Schreadley,
who attended the lecture on "Mound
Builders," by Dr. Schmucker last
week, gave an Interesting talk on
the life and habits of ants. Scout
Edward Schreadley was also elected
as Troop chaplain. An important
drill will be held in preparation for
Sunday, when the troop will attend
the evening church service in a
body and take an active part in the
service.

HXRRISBURG TELEGRAPH
the "camp experts" demand as the
minimum standard.
The weather that we have had
the last few days suggests strongly
the coming of baseball season. Why
not have a scout league?' Every
tioop can find a diamond and need
not be handicapped for lack of play
ing fields as in basketball. If every
troop has a team there will sure be
some scout baseball league this
spring.
Scouts! Watch for notices regard
ing Rallies! The "Heatless Mon
days" are off, and we can get back
into the Armory. Things ought to
shape up so that wc can hold a rally
in about a week from this coming
Monday. Watch the daily papers,
and keep in touch with your scout
master.
HQs is inviting every troop in
Harrisburg to "stand a trick," as the
sailors sometimes say, at the local
office. Each troop will detail live
boys a day for one week to report
to HQs for assignments of one kind
and another about town. Each boy
will serve about two hours, and
will have occasion to meet some of
the business and professional men of
Harrisburg. Troops 11, 6, and 15
are taking the first three weeks of
this work. •
Basketball Schedule Is
Taking Attention of
Athletes in Troop 19
J. H. Stine, scout executive of Dau
phin county, addressed the members
of Troop 19, Boy Scouts of America,
at their meeting in the Grace Meth
odist Church. During his talk Mr.
Stine mentioned the rapid increase in
membership in the troop, which was
organized only a few months ngo.
Mr. Stine further mentioned the fact
that Troop 19 had done her,"bit" in
the distribution of 'the literature
sent out by the United States Gov
ernment concerning her reasons for
entering the war. Mr. Stine wished
the scouts the best of luck in their
athletic ventures, telling them al
ways to play hard but fair. He also
advocated teamwork and signal-1
work.
After Mr. Stlne's talk, the scout
master introduced a system of points
which will determine the standing
of each patrol every month. So
many points are to be taken off for
untidiness, and so on. This system
is advocated by all scout authorities
and great ''friendly" rivalry exists
between the patrols.
The triangular basketball patrol
league of Troop 19 got under way
last Saturday afternoon, when the
Red team defeated the Blues. The
game was in doubt several times and
was only decided after Koch and
Daly registered field goals in succes
sion near the close of the game. The
league promises some good games
and the Reds are scheduled to meet
the Whites and the Whites the Blues
next Saturday afternoon.
The varsity of Troop 19's basket
ball players will meet the strong
Sleelton Juniors from Steelton. As
both teams have been traveling at a
fast rate, a good, exciting game is
expected. Troop 19 is handicapped
in the fact that they are unable to
get together any time during the
week and practice. They go into the
game with no practice whatever and
generally manage to hold their own.
The lineup for Saturday's game will
bo : Koch and Daly (Essie), for
wards; Hummel, center, and Hamer
and HofTman. guards. The score for
the Red and Blue patrol game was
as follows:
Blue. Red
Welsh, f. Koch, f.

Troop 15 Not Discouraged
By Basketball Defeat
While the basketball team of
Troop 15, met defeat at the hands
of Troop 19, the game had at least
one good result, and the scouts of
Troop 15 are not discouraged for
they now mean to get down to work
and master the rules governing bas
ketball. More practice and one or
two changes in the lineup will put
the team into better shape for the
next game. At the troop meeting
last Friday night election of patrol
leaders and assistant patrol leaders
was held with the following results:
Egle Patrol: Leader, Lester Si
mons. Assistant: Joseph Good
year.
Bob-white Patrol: Leader, Law
rence Evans. Assistant: Geo. Dett
ling.
Wolf Patrol. Leader: Harold
Horst. Assistant: Arthur Daugh
erty.
The following applicants were
elected members of the troop: John
Shuman, Charles Long, Walter Eley,
Robt. Enders, Jr., and transfers
from other troops into troop 15 were
presented by Marlin Bird and James
Lytle, who were admitted ds mem
bers.
Troop 15 Is arranging for an
"Open Night" to be held Friday
evening, February 22nd, and every
member is polishing up in all lines
of scouting. The purpose of this
meeting is to have the parents and
friends of the boys attend and gain
a better' knowledge of scout work
and training.
The troop attended the evening
service last Sunday at the Sixth St.
United Brethren Church, and Rev.
Jos. Daugherty preached a special
"Scouting" sermon in their behalf.
Members of the troop appeared in
uniform.

LIEUT. DANFORTK
VISITED TROOP 4
Soldier Lad From Camp Han
cock Tells of Scout Work
Benefiting Him
At the monthly business meeting
of Troop 4, Lieut. Danforth, U. S.
N„ was present and gave the scouts
a line talk on the U. S. Navy. He
explained many of the details of
war ships, which the scouts had not
known before. He also gave the his
tory of our Navy. After the talk
he showed the scouts how to tie
many new knots. Many of the old
scouts of Troop 4, who are now in
the Army are thankful for the train
ing which they received while in
the troop. As proof of this, here is
a letter which one of the older
scouts of Troop 4 has written to the
scoutmaster:
"Dear Mr. McAllister: As you have
r.o doubt heard, the old Governor's
Troop has been transferred to ar
tillery, and artillery is practically
a little army of its own. They do
their own engineering, ow'n signal
ing, and can become cavalry if ne
cessity requires. They have their
own aviation section. So you see,
artillery is no easy branch of the
service. And speaking of signaling,
it comes in very, very handy to mo
now, that is, the semaphore code
which I learned while in Troop 4,
because 1 am on the battery com
mander's detail, which has charge
of all communications and is used
to locate position of the enemy.
"Also, practically every little de
tail in scouting which I have learned
from you and other sources has
stood me in very good stead down
here. You know we go out to the
artillery range about ten miles from
Hancock, where we * have target
practice.
"We live in little dog tents about
7x5x3, that is for two of us, and
believe me, we don't have summer
weather down here. "Dick" Ogeisoy
(he is my "bunkie") and I sort of
fooled ole mail weather: we dug a
hole the size of the tent, and about
four feet deep, lined it with three-
Inch pine saplings and filled it half
full of hay and straw. We also had
a iireplace in our tent built out of
rocks we got out of a lake just at
the foot of the battery street. We
put up our pup tent for a roo'f and
believe me, we slept as snug as bugs
in a rug.
"I suppose you are still interest
ed in scout work, dear Mac, that is
why I write this as it may interest
you to know that all the time you
spent on Troop 4 is not lost, and 1
am sure the rest of the old scouts
will tell you the same. Please let
the boys know that we are with them
as much as they are with us, and
that if the time ever comes when
Uncle Sam needs them, the things
that they learn in scouting will not
come amiss, and they can take that
from one who knows. Please tell
the 'boys that they have my best
wishes, although I know only a few

Every American Is alive to the necessity for unselfish, efficient
service to the nation.
V
Where men once co-operated in the running ot a machine or
a business, whole communities and sections of the country
are now developing team-play on a big scale.
I In so vital a national agency as telephone communication,
the necessity for co-operation is quite as positive. If the un
precedented private demand and tremendous Government
requirements are to be successfully met, the public must
recognize the part it should play.
The Bell Telephone operating force can be counted on.
And the fullest enjoyment of the service will be realized if
the public will remember always that each operator is en
titled to the same consideration and plain courtesy that she
would be accorded if she were addressed face to face.
