$ NEWS END NOTES OF THEiBOY SCTUTS^ FINE RECORD IS MADE BY SCOUTS Sale of Bonds Wins Many Medals For Khaki-Clad Hustlers A "Gleaners after the reapers"— that was the job assigned to the Boy Scouts In the loan campaign. And they measured up to the dif ficult task with remarkable zeal and energy—s9l,4so in 1,355 separate subscriptions. As one Scout said, "That's going some." That makes the average subscription about $67. It shows that there were very few big subscriptions secured that would swell the total amount. Seventy-one Scouts are the proud winners of the Treasury Department medal for the sale of ten or more bonds. That is three times the num ber of winners In the Third Loan, and it represents at least ten times as much work, for the conditions were more difficult. | Troop 13 leads the city in the number of subscriptions with 22 2, and Troop 11 is second with 218. But Troop 11 leads in the amount $18,050, while Troop 13 comes next with $13,100. Thus these friendly rivals both win in this respect. However, Troop 11 has 14 medal winners, against 13 for Troop 13. Only five troops failed to sell some bonds, but still we can report one hundred per cent. tlon, for every troop responded by trying to sell bonds, or taking some assignment of work, or helping in the publicity parades. That is a good record and one that the Scouts of Harrisburg can well be proud of. The medal winners are as foi -10 T*oop I—Paul1 —Paul A. Kunkel, Jr., Donald Royal.

Scouts of City Help at Emergency Hospital The whole city is proud of the Emergency Hospital, opened by Health Officer Raunick at the new school at Fifth and Seneca streets. Scouts feel proud of having the privilege of assisting in the prepara tion of the building. A squad of Scouts worked for two days clear ing out the desks and tables, set ting up and making beds, and help ing in the thousand and one things that were necessary. Dr. Raunick has voiced his thanks many times. Tells to the World How Tonall Helped Him. Makes a Per sonal Statement. "My system was suffering from a general breakdown due to impover ished blood," says Frank Brenner, well-known iron worker for thirty two years, living at 125 North Ship pen street, Lancaster, Pa. "I broke out with eczema. I could not stop it. It set me nearly crazy. 1 would scratch myself so badly at night until I was raw. "I heard so much about Tonall that I went to Locher's Drug Store and began taking Tonall. Now all my blood rushes are gone. I am free of all feeling of itchiness and my whole system is built up. "I certainly do recommend Tonall as it helped me." This statement was given Sept. 23, 1918. Tonall is sold at Gorgas' Drug Store, Harrisburg; at Hershey's, at Hershey, and Martz' Drug Store.

CHAS. H. MAUK Private Ambulance I'liones I •* FRIDAY EVENING. Save Peachstones Says the Office Scout \ / "Every shovel-full saves a life." That is the motto of Troop 16 in their work as custodians of the peach stone depot at Seventh and Curtin streets. So there were many brave lives spared last Tuesday afternoon when a squad of Troop 14, under Assistant Scoutmasters Mehaffie and Boone "bagged up" over twenty thousand pounds of nut and fruit stones. Seventy-four large sacks, twenty-two small sacks, six boxes and six barrels —that was the total for one afternoon. And now, as soon as they, are loaded, off they will go to make carbon for gas-masks for the boys on the firing line. The Gas Defense Division of the army is continually asking for more masks. Under the slogan "Every Scout to save a soldier" every Scout should get busy and help the work along. Here are the instructions: The necessary material is found in pits of peaches .apricots, plums, cherries (native special,) dates, olives and prunes; walnuts, hickory nuts and butternuts, and the shells of such nuts. It is estimated that 200 peach pits or i pounds of walnuts will produce enough carbon for one gas mask. Millions of gas masks are needed for the defense of our army already in France. Millions more are needed for the equipment of the troops who are yet to go across. The enormous quantity of the raw material required is plain to be seen. The importance and urgency of the task of collecting this material for government use is apparent. Every scout will be glad to give his efforts to this new emergency service which our country has called upon us to perform. Every scout is prepared to help in this great work of war winning. Get your instructions from your scoutmaster. He will get his from the local council or the local Red < ross Society, which has the matter in charge. Have your plan of operation defi nitely worked out in advance. If >ou are to make a house-to-house collection of pits, or are to gather them in quantities from restaurants, bakeries, school houses, etc., have a schedule for day and hour, of col lection. Have your route planned and follow it up carefully. Deliver your collected material to the station of stations designated. These may be banks, school houses, stores, Red Cross Headquarters, or any accessible point selected. Spread the information as to the go\ ernment needs of this raw ma terial as widely as possible. Get the public interested in saving pits. Be able to tell people why and to with an urgent extent the material is needed. A little later, make a nut canvass. Be careful not to trespass. Don't collect nuts at random without due permission.

Co-operate with the local Red Cross Society in making this cam paign thorough and effective. Leave nothing undone which you can do to help. The nation needs your services. I September 12, 1918. To the Boy Scouts of America: The splendid record of accom plishment in the Boy Scouts of America program of war work ac tivities is well known to the offi cials of the War Department. The effectiveness of your efforts to help win the war is, as Presidnt Wilson says, "a convincing testimonial to the value of organized boyhood." Your membership of 442,000 care'- fully selected men and specially trained boys covering practically every part of the United States, of fers an asset for an immediate piece of worth while service of great value to the nation at this critical hour in the world's history. The materials needed for the man ufacture of gas masks are available through the ordinary sources of supply, in sufficieht quantities to keep pace with the rapidly increas ing strength of our armed forces across the sea. It is the purpose of the War Department to give to each of our men, as well as to the men of our allied forces, every pos sible advantage of physical equip ment to aid in preserving life. The gas masks which are being manufactured in this country for the men of the American Army are giv ing the fullest protection to the men wearing them. The Boy Scouts have an opportunity to assist in the con tinuation of this high degree of efficiency. With the co-operation of your ex ecutive officers a plan has been de veloped whereby each of you may have a definite part in this import ant piece of service. These plans will doubtless be explained in detail by your Chief Scout Executive. An effort has been made to make it pos sible for every scout and scout offi cial to participate in this war ac tivity, so that as in other campaigns your troop records will show one hundred per cent, participation. What an inspiring thing it is for the nation to realize that it has as a definite asset this large group of earnest scouts under efficient leader ship, all anxious to have a definite part in winning the war for freedom, democracy, liberty, and justice. Cordially yours, BENEDICT CROWELL, Acting Secretary of War. TENDERFOOT SCOUT DIES Troop 11 lost a good Scout this week through pneumonia. Mark J. Patrick, tenderfoot, died Saturday, October 19, and was buried October 24. Six Scouts from the troop acted as pallbearers. HXHRISBURG TEXEGRXPH SCOUTS DO WORK IN SHELL FIRE Value of Organized Boyhood Demonstrated in Big Eliza beth Explosion Recently The value of organized boyhood in an emergency was fully demonstrat ed in the cities in New Jersey to which the refugees flocked from South Amboy, New Jersey, after the explosion in the Gillespie shell-load ing plant. At Elizabeth no call was issued for the boys, but many responded of their own volition and worked as hard as they'could, doing everything and anything asked. In the after noon the scout commissioner and some of the scoutmasters were able to go to the Armory and direct the scouts in their efforts. The scout of ficials, realizing the necessity for in stant action, as the refugees were coming in quickly, soon had the boys organized for effective work. Some of the scouts were dispatch ed to ride with the drivers of con veyances which were ringing the people from Amboy. They helped the refugees into the cars, carrying babies, bundles and family pets, and making things comfortable on the ride to Elizabeth. Others acted as messengers in the Armory, carried cots and blankets, swept the floors, waited on the canteen workers, passed out refreshments, entertain ed the children byplaying gameswith them, and, in fact, fifty boys could be seen at all times busy as bees, running to and fro at the commands from the heads of the different re lief committees. Senior Patrol Leaders George O'Neill, of Toop No. 8, and Carl ton Reed, of Troop No. 20, stayed hi the Armory continuously from Sat urday until Monday morning, sleep ing only a few hours on Sunday aft ernoon. These boys were among the first of the scouts to arrive at the Armory on, Saturday morning. Even the scouts who stayed in the Ar mory from 11 to 12 o'clock at night were on the job again in the morn OPEN A CHARGrSSxTAT 1 WE CLOTHE THE FAMILY STORE OPEN UNTIL 6.30 P. M. THIS SATURDAY 36 N. Second St., Cor. Walnut St. f _ A Lost—Ace Medal Richard Johnston, Troop 11, is, or rather was, the proud pos sessor of an Ace Medal with two palms'untll the night of the rally at the Capitol. That evening it somehow became loose and dis appeared. Apy Scout, finding it, or seeing anyone wearing it will please report at once to Head quarters. V , ing anywhere from 7 to 9 o'clock. Some of the tasks given to the boys were not at all agreeable, but not one of the scouts was observed to disobey any command and all gave their services cheerfully. In Ridgefleld Park, N. J., where the scout organization is especially active, Scout Commissioner Alberque learned that the authorities were ex pecting a terrific explosion of 80,000 pounds of trinitrotoluol at the Gil lespie plant, and, despite sickness at his home, immediately informed the scoutmasters. It is a tribute to the value of the Boy Scout organization that they covered practically every home in the town within a half hour. That the explosion did not oc cur is fortunate, but all appreciated the quick action of the scouts just the same. The Boy Scouts of New Bruns wick, N. J., have been in continuous service at South Amboy, N. J„ since the explosion at the Gillespie shell loading plant. These boys were mo bilized Saturday, and were detailed to canteen service at the New Bruns wick relief station in South Amboy, also the Scout Ambulance Corps to the Medical Division. ' There were from thirty-five to fifty scouts on duty day and night during the past week at the various sta tions where needed. In many cases these boys were assigned to relief duty, carrying food and hot drinks to the guards throughout the city and plant. They erected a tem porary field kitchen in front of the Methodist Church in South Amboy, and there prepared about 300 pounds of coffee, besides cocoa, soup and other hot foods. About as many boys in New Brunswick gave assistance at the canteen where foods were prepared and collected. These boys had many exciting and thrilling experi ences during the past week. The South Amboy scouts were on duty under their leaders from the time of the explosion. They did ex cellent service. Perth Amboy sent over representatives of the local scout organization, although their city was badly shaken. Troop Six Mourns Death of Senior Patrol Leader Troop 6 has felt the effects of the Spanish influenza in the death of Senior Patrol Leader llarry A. Car son, who passed away last Friday. Scout Carson was one of the origi nal members of the troop. When the troop was organized he was made senior patrol leader of the troop, which position he held at his death. He was an energetic and enthusi astic Scout. By his untiring efforts he became first class Scout in the troop. Carson was also a topnotch er among the signallers and was one of the crack first aid team of Troop 6. Aside from this he was a mem ber of the baseball, basketball and track teams and manager of the first two. Harry was very mucicai an<} became the leader of the troop or chestra.
