FRIDAY EVENING,
$ NEWS ENDNOTES OF THE BOY SttlUTSffi
chaplain of the American Expedl-j
tionary Forces. The best wishes qf
every Scout of the troop go with
him.
Last Friday evening the Scout
Executive, J. Frederik Virgin vis
ited the troop. A very interesting
talk was given regarding the value
of the various tests to the Scouts.
The necessity of every Scout's be
ing proficient In First Aid work was
emphasized by some very interest
ing daily occurrences of accidents,
and how they were treated by ama
teurs. We are always glad to see
the Scout Executive when he visits
us, because it acts as a stimulant and
a boost for better work among the
Scouts.
W. L. Bailey and Roy Steiler, as
sistant scoutmaster of the troop did
not get enough of outdoor life at the
annual camp, so they are spending
several weeks at Stone Glen, looking
at the stones and trees, and occasion
ally catching a small fish that swims
past their camp.
. Owing to many of the Scouts be
ing on vacations, the regular meet
ing, usually held on Friday even
ing, will t be posponed until Sep
tember.

Careless Use of Soap
Spoils the Hair
Soap should be used very care
fully, If you wilnt to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsifled cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and
Is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in. It makes an abun
dance of rich, creamy lather, which
rinses out easily, removing every par
ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months. —Adv.

SCOUTING NOTES
By Scout Executive J. Frederik Virgin
"Be Prepared" ifl the Scout Motto,
and in accordance with that, we
should now be preparing for the
Winter's work. This applies to
every Scout and Scout official.
Since it is almost certain that a
change in the draft law will bo made
so as to include all men between the
ages of 18 and 45, we should not be
taking steps to insure the continu
ance of every troop and to provide
for the establishment of new troops.
This can be done, if our scout of
ficials will immediately give definite
attention to discovering men of char
acter to servo as Scoutmasters and
assistant scoutmasters in the place
of those who will be called to the
colors by the new draft law.
Plan Now For Future Leadership
It is the opportunity as well as
the duty of every scout official who
is within the ages of 18 and 45 who
may, by any possible interpreta
tion come within the provisions of
the new law, to begin to plan to
leave his troop with strong leader
ship in case he may be called.
Help Troops Other Titan Your Own
Every man who can continue his
activity should be willing not only
to do as he has before, but also
to help in providing leadership to
other troops or in strengthening the
work of the local council in such, way
as may be within his power.
Scouts Have Increased Since War
In spite of the fact that from our
scoutmasters and other scout offi
cials a large percentage have volun
teered for active service immediately
following the declaration of war. and
another mrge percentage was called
to the colors by the first draft law,
the records show that to-day the
Boy Scouts of America have 43 per
cent, more scout officials than it had
the day war was declared and 66 per
cent, more scouts than it had on
the day war was declared. With the
due concern and proper planning,
we can stand the strain which will
naturally come from the new draft
law, and indeed be proud to furnish
our portion of the men who are
needed to make as short as possible
the effective job on the other side.
This can only bo done, however,
by each person meeting his respon
sibility, as heavy as it may be.
We should not be content with

To-day We have 4 4,890 men and boys

have at least 714,000 men and boys

TROOP TWENTY IS
BACK FROM CAMP
Husky, Sunburned Lads En
joyed Every Minute of #
Life in the Open
It was a husky, sunburned bunch
of twenty-seven Scouts from Troop
20, of Fifth Street Methodist Church,
that rode into town on a big truck
last Tuesday from the Scout camp
along the Conodoguinet. Scout
moster Swope and Assistant Scout
master Weaver, tired, but thorough
ly satisfied with their experience, ac-
the boys.
Troop 20 went to camp on the
10th, and immediately things began
to happen. A camp schedule was
posted and adhered to throughout
the entire stay. The schedule fol
lows:
5.45 First call.
6.00 Reveille. a
6.05 Assembly and to the cofors.
6.15 Setting-up exercises and dip.
7.00 Mess call.
8.00 Inspection of'camp.
9.00 Morning; program of the lay.
12.00 Mess call. \
1.00 Attention to orders and after
noon program of the day.
5.45 Retreat (parade) and to the
colors.
6.00 Mess call.
7.30 Campfire.
8.45 First call.
9.00 Taps.
Troop 20 ran into the only bad
spell of weather that the Scouts
incurred this summer. The entire
first week it. rained, and rained hard
every day. On the seventh day one
of the Scouts, while in swimming,
found a cow's skull floating down
stream. He secured it and brought
it into can>p. Immediately a big
pow-wow was held, and it was de
cided to bury the bad weather. So a
procession was formed with a grave
digger at the head, and with muf
fled drums end tom-toms beating
the Scouts buried the bad weather.
In a little while the sun looked
through the clouds and for the rest
of their stay the weather was pro-'
pitious. Scoutmaster Swope is sure
! that the finding of a horseshoe, and
I the nailing of it to the camp bulletin
board also helped.
The troop had one other experi
ence of bad luck. The first cook en
gaged failed to materialize, and
Scoutmaster Swope had to act as
chef. None of the boys fared badly
though; at least so the Scouts say.
A good cook was secured for the
next week and the boys lived up to
their reputations.
One long hike was indulged In —
to the top of the tower at SterreFs
i Gap. It was a good sixteen-mile
; hike, and one that the Scouts will
not forget for a long time.
At least twelve boys perfected
themselves in swimming to what is
the equivalent of the first class exr
amination, and about five boys who
had not leariied before, mastered the
art while in camp. Almost every day
there was some drilling in tracking
and Scout pace; and many of the
boy c showed their ability to build
a fire in the open using not more
than two matches.
Thursday was visitors' day and
they came with a vengeance. A total
of eight auto loads visited the camp,
and of course none of the fond par
ents camo without bringing some
thing good to eat. The boys com
plained that there was only one vis
itor's day in their Whole camping
period.
Among other activities, the troop
built a good wharf at the swimming
hole, and also cleared up the brush
from the entire pasture.
A great pow-wow was
the last night in camp. It started
with a huge campfire, the .telling of
stories, and finally an Indian war
dance to the tune of a tom-tom
orchestra. Before bed time
ant Scoutmaster Weaver served lem
onade and sandwiches.
Every boy vowed that he was no'
going to sleep that last night, bu*.
the scoutmaster had difficulty in
finding one awake an hour after taps
had sounded.
The entire troop voted the camp a
perfect success, and all wish their
stay had been longer.
Safe in France
JOSEPH O. LIDDICK
Joseph G. Ldddlck, son of Mrs. John
H. Rlddlck, of Duncannon, has arriv
ed safely in France. He is with Bat-
L tery D. Three Hundred and Twelfth

Bicycle Squad to Aid by
Carrying Light Articles
The bicycle squad of Troop 12 has
been called upon to do some impor
tant work on Saturday, August 24.
They will ride to the scout camp,
carrying light articles, such as blan
kets, etc. Scputmaster Orr is going
to take some luggage to the camp In
his machine In the morning. The
troop will save trouble and money
by the squad riding up to the camp
on their wheels.
The rules, regulations and pro
grams for the days were arranged
and given out to the scouts at the
last meetfng, August 16.
Many of the scouts are planning
to pass the preliminary examinations
for second class at camp.
The scouts of Troop 12 are urg
ently requested to' be on hand at the
next meeting of the troop to get
their final Instructions from the
scoutmaster.
