9NEWS AND NOTES OF THE BOY SCOUTS* To be Guests Tonight at an Illustrated Lecture The territory allotted to Troop 16 for the gathering of books for the American Soldiers and Sailors was fully covered by the troop last Sat urday and a goodly number of books magazines were gathered and Dundled ready to be sent to_ the camps. The scouts of Troop 15 also gathered fifteen hundred pounds of paper and old magazines which were sold and the proceeds added to the camping fund. The members of Troop 20 have kindly invited the members of Troop lo to an illustrated lecture at their headquarters in the Fifth Street -Methodist Church this evening and the fifteeners will turn out in uni form and march in a bodj; to the rooms of Troop 20. The spirit of the fourth Scout Law which is "A scout is friendly" has strongly man ifested itself within the last lew months among the boys, being the direct result of the monthly scout rallies held in the Armory each month at which the members of the different troops become acquainted and engage in friendly contests. Troop 15 is requested to mobilize at their headquarters at 7.00 Friday evening prepared to march to the lecture rooms of Troop 20. An all-day hike is scheduled for Saturday, March 2 3rd, to which all members and friends are invited to attend. Second class tests in sig nalling, using the Morse code, lire building and cooking, pacing and tracking will be given to a number of boys who have been eagerly awaiting the opening of spring so they could get out into the woods. The sc.outs of Troop 15 arc active on the Red postal card thrift stamp proposition and have secured ( j ullP a number of salos. Troop 15 will be in line for the great Thrift Stamp drive on Saturday, March 30th. and have arranged to cover their teni tory thoroughly. Troop joke of the week: \\ill one inform Scout Arthur 75augherty that Christmas is the 25th day ol' December and not Septem ber?" 'Doc* insists that the right month is September. HAROLD SMEDLE\. Scout Scribe. Troop Thirteen Has a Busy Week of Activities About twenty boys of Troop 13, met on Saturday morning, March 16th, at the Boyd Memorial and from there went from house to house col lecting books and magazines for the soldiers and sailors, who are now in the United States service. Scout Maglaughlin loaned two carts in which the books and magazines were put. Not a house-in Troop 13's dis trict was missed, and the books were taken to the headquarters and count ed. Over three hundred books and that many magazines were collected and all the scouts hope not a soldier or sailor will be without literature of some kind after all the scouts of America have collected their share of reading matter. The troop would have collected more bcoks and mag azines, had not Troop'll come into Troop 13's territory. Several Hours on the Road After collecting books and maga zines the troop gathered at the Boyd Mall, for the first hike of tne sea son. The troop took the one-thirty car for the town of New Cumberland and after arriving there, struck off towards the mountains for Marsh Run. After going about four miles, they arrived at the base of the mountain and many of the scouts worked off their second and first class tests. Many of the scouts cook oil their meals while the scouts try ing for the first class badge worked off their signaling tests. Lorne Ha vies and James Bryem received prizes offered by the scoutmaster for the best signaling. The troop hav ing started too late did not try to reach Marsh Run. After the scouts who wanted to work off their tests were through, the troop started hack to Harrisburg for home. Mud! Mud! Mud! Every scout that went along, returned with muddy shoes. The fields were mud dy, tlie roads were muddy and the mountains and hills were muddy. Rut every scout had a fine time and arrived back in Harrisburg on the K.lu street car. The main joke of this occasion was the orange belong ing to Scout Keller. Ask him, he knows. All scouts of Troop 13 are request ed to attend the scout meeting to night. Robert Snyder, Captain of the Troop's first basketball team, will have charge of the meeting and will give a talk on "What sports mean to the Troop." After the meeting, Troop 21, will play the basketball team of Troop 13. WM. FENSTERMACHER, Scribe. THE JINX PURSUES Troop 14 is still pursued by the jinx and lost two of the hardest, fought battles of the season. Both games were played on the Shimmell floor. They lost to the Mixups by a score of 28 to 18. The score at the end of the first half was 20 to 11 in favor of the Mixups, and the Troop came up strong in the second half and held their opponents to two field goals but could not overcome the lead and lost out. The other game was lost to Troop 6 second team. This was a good game, though Troop 6 held the lead all through the game. Xear the end of the game Troop 14 had a chance of tying the score but failed, and the final whistle blew with the score 16 to 13 In favor of Troop 6. The line ups were as follows: , Troop 14 Mixups Dreese, f. Crowl, f. Wonders, f. • Lentz, f. Dunkelberger, c. Strawhecker. c. I'hallenger, g. Zeigler, g. Winks, g. Kinch, g.

WAR SERVICE MEDALS War service medals for the scouts who sold ten or more Liberty Bonds in the Second Liberty Loan-Cam paign have been' received at Scout Headquarters and will be awarded at a meeting to be arranged immedi ately preceding the opening of the third campaign. Those who will re ceive the medals are: Donald Royal, Troop 1; Howard Selsam, Troop 10; Edward Hawes, Looker. Troop 11: Arthur Swanson. Troop 12; Ernest Crerie, Lome Bayles. Win. Maglauchlin and James Byrem, Troop 13 FRIDAY EVENING Books For I.ettprsjfrom soldiers in the camps \ and trenches, appeal for reading matter. Siagazines, books and news papers are needed by the lighting men. In the spare moments, these men want to know what is being done at home, in the lield of science and of religion. They want to learn about their friends, and they want to keep abreast with the times. 1 am tired of hearing the same sort of sermon every Sifnday." says one soldier. "We are sick of hearing vis iting ministers tell us that Christ is with us in the battle, or likening the soldier and this war to Christ and the crucifixion. WE WANT TO FORGET ABOUT WAR WHEN WE GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY. We want to forget about it during our hours of recrea- j tion and rest, and read." The soldiers call for the books, to I Scouting Notes By J. H. STINE Congratulations to the scouts of Harrisburg on the work done in col lecting "Books for Soldiers." The results are intensely pleasing. On the whole the work was well organ ized and smoothly executed. Only one or two troops failed to thor oughly cover the districts assigned them, and headquarters have been busv answering calls from people in these districts who expected scouts to come for their books. The work of Troop Seventeen is worthy of special mention. Their scoutmaster was out of town and could not meet with them prior to the canvass, so they held their own meeting and worked out the details of their district so well that they brought in 4SO books from the fringe of the hill district. The older and larger troops did line, too. Troop Seven leading with 1100 books, anil Troop Eleven coming a close sec ond, and still going. Troop Four, also without a scoutmaster turned out three patrols and handled their work in splendid fashion. Troop Fifteen not only scoured their end of town, but bundled up all of the books and magazines in neat pack ages for convenient handling. Four teen came strong in the business part of town and piled up a raft of reading matter in the Palace Barber shop. Thirteen was on the job ear ly and had the work so well planned that they were through before noon. Troops One, Three, Five, Eight. Nine, Twelve, Sixteen, Eighteen, Twenty and Twenty-one were all on the joo and some of them are still scouting for books. Sea Scoutsl Have you fellows read of the new organization at National Headquar ters to promote sea scouting'.' Can't go into it here, but it's great stuff, and why not have a troop of sea scouts in Harrisburg? There's the river, you know, and while it would if't'be practical to sail a barkentine upon the waters of the Susquehanna, there is nothing to prevent building a nice little fleet of "skip-jacks" and perhaps some dories and learning the fundamentals of navigation. Thrift Stamp Day is nearly here. •A week from to-morrow we want to see every sco\it on the streets -of Har risburg plugging for Uncle Sam, and putting over the actual sales, too. We don't want any slackers in the scouts of this neighborhood and Headquarters expects every scout to do his duty. Come on and show the old town what organized boy hood can do, and that will prepare I the way for LIBERTY LOAN' NUMBER THREE—and if any of you fel lows haven't seen the dope on the scout part In the next Liberty Loan you want to jump right into Head quarters and talk it over. There I were nine scouts who won War Ser-| vice Medals in the last campaign. | I.isten, we ought to have fifty in the next. YOU, Mr. Boy Scout, who are reading this line, should ligure'right | now *how you are going to help the: scouts of Harrisburg put this big job across. Some of the Scout Scribes are de linquent in sending tlieir monthly reports in. Sometimes "A word to the wise is sufficient." Red Post Cards are for use the year around. Don't forget to keep up the good work from day to day. { SCOUT TRAINING PAYS In a letter to local Scout' Head- j quarters John H. Keller, formerly Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop Eighteen. Eagle Scout, and now in Army Service at Ellington Field, writes of the practical advantages of the scout program in training for efficiency. He says: "Due to my scout training I. was given charge j of a gang of tnen surveying. I was! made an acting Corporal until T am transferred into the radio detach-' ment, which will be soon now. It : won't be long until I get on a key. | Scout training was the means of get- j ting me a good job. I was the only | one out of four hundred men that] could signal and run the transit." j Mr. Keller was a student at La fayette College until early this spring. | when he enlisted. He was one of j the first scouts in Harrisburg. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE Scoutmaster Mr. Manser of Troop 11, one of the oldest scoutmasters of Harrisburg, will be present with us at our next meeting, Monday. Marcn 25th. On April Ist every I scout is to bring his father. A spt cial entertainment will be prepared. JESS MEADATH, Scribe. SORE THROAT CaldM.f'ouichii, Croup nnd Catarrh Relieved In Two .Mlnuten Is your throat sore? Breathe* H.vomei. Have you catarrh?. Breathe Hyomei. Have you a cough? Breathe Hyomei. Have you a cold? Breathe Hyomei. Hyomei is the one treatment for all nose, throat and lung troubles. It does not contain any cocaine or mor phine and all that is necessary is t6 breathe it through the little pocket inhaler that comes with each outfit. A complete outfit costs hut little at druggists everywhere and at H. C. Kennedy's and Hyomei is guaranteed to banish catarrh, croup. coughs, eulds, sore throat and bronchitis or money back. A Hyomei inhaler lasts a lifetime and extra bottles of Hyo mei can be obtained from druggists. —Advertisement. DR. JOHN F. CULP Has again resumed the Practice of Medicine f OFFICE 410 N. THIRD ST. while away time, and to forget this war. In order to help them. Boy Scouts of the country in co-opera tion with the American Library As sociation, are now collecting books and magazines for the soldiers. The scouts have been visiting the homes of Harrisburg during this past week. They have secured substantial dona tions, but Harrisburg is able to give more. A total of 7,000 books from a city of 90,000 souls, seems a paltry gift for those who are fighting and dying on the battlefield. The campaign for books closes to morrow evening. Let your patriot ism be shown. If your old books are treasured possessions (for books are one's best friends), go out to the nearest bookstore, buy some books I and call Boy Scout Headquarters. 3631 . A scout in khaki will call I for your contribution. The Honor Roll Scouts on the Honor Roll at Scout Headquarters for the week are: Frank Fishman, G. Rifkin, Ed ward Fishman, Hyman Levin; S. Isaacman, Israel Iverson, A. Lipman, Ben Levi, 1. Furman, M. Marcus. Eleven Hundred Books Are Collected by Troop Seven Of the 1,100 books gathered by Troop 7, for the sailors and soldiers only twenty were of no practical use. Some very good books are in the col lection. Kermit Smith and George Sellers were the real workers of the Troop, as t>oo were credited to their account with other magazines. Alfred Minnich, Paul Strine, How ard Kilgore, Ray Garber, Edward Astrich, Sheldon .Maddux, Harold Diffenderfer, Richard Goetz, Ru dolph Miller and William and Her man Goldstein, were among the other hustlers engaged in doing their "bit." More books are expected to be turn ed in. The troop will be the guests of Troop 20 at an entertainment and lecture given by O. P. Beckley at the Fifth St. Methodist Church on Fri day evening. The scouts will attend in uniform and parade from Susque hanna and Harris streets, to the church. The orchestra will furnish special music for the occasion. Much stress is given to the pre paration of the sale of Thrift Stamps on March 30tli. Troop 7, will endeavor to be in the front ranks in salesmanship. W. L. Bailey, assistant Scout master has gone on a three weeks' trip through the west. His absence is felt in the orchestra. GEORGE REINOEHL. Scout Scribe. TO RAISE POl'l/TRY Every scout was present at the meeting Monday evening. We gath ered nearly 500 books for soldiers. Every scout of Troop 12 gave at least five good turns. Some of the scouts are going to raise poultry. Re-or ganization of Patrols: Ist, Fox Pa trol, Leader, John Smith; 2nd Fly ing Eagle Patrol, Leader William Hawthorne: 3rd.

Last Sunday eve ning the troop had charge of the Epworth League. It.was a very good meeting. The scoutmaster outlined the scout plan to the people. The boys'sang a few songs. A very in teresting feature of this meeting was two trombone solos, by Meredith Germer. Most of the boys stayed for church. The troop Is still alive and well. Last Saturday the boys collected about 750 books and maga-. zines for the soldiers. This Satur day they sell War Savings Stamps. There will be an interesting meet ing to-night at 7.30 o'clock. An in door baseball team will be formed. The bees are still buzzing, but they are too interested in baseball to buzz much. ULENN BOYLES, Scribe. War Saving Stamps Are to be Sold in Fine Style The members of Troop Six, are taking to the W. S. S. Campaign in true scout style. Twenty scouts have pledged themselves to win achiev ment buttons and many are going to try to win the ace medal offered by the goveriment. . Constant changes are necessary to keep the patrols in smooth working order. Many scouts work at night and this prevents their appearance at troop meetings. William Diener, former leader of the Wolf, has been made chief scout signaler and at tached to the Scout Master's staff. Zimmerman, former assistant of the Kagle, has been made leader of the Wolf. Scout Black, succeeds Zim merman. Bowers, former leader of the Silver Fox, has been advanced to the Wolf and I.eeds, has been pro moted from assistant, to leader, to take the place of Bowers. Scout Fox will act as assistant to Patrol Leader Leeds, Following is the cast of "DP WhipperwiU" the play to be produced soon by members of the troop and the Camp Fire Girls. In the modern story, Mrs. V. La. Huntsberger, ap pears as Virginia Byrd, and Roy Reel, as Robert Taliaferro, with the support of Bertha Adams as Aunt Judy. Sarah Colsher, as Helen Dandridge and Edith Holbert, as Mary Dandridge. In the story of 1863, the cast is as follows: Vir ginia Byrd, Martha Shartzer, Hallie Byrd, Jean K. Bowman, Sallie Col burn.

Our track squad will soon be out doors training for events which we hope will win this season. With the material on hand, we onght to have a crack track and field team. Troop Six will also have a baseball team this summer and hopes that other troops will have the same, as we would like to meet other troops in this sport. ROY REEL. • j Scribe.
