FRIDAY EVENING, HABRISBURGM&K& TELEG*OPH , MARCH 21, 1919 Parrots Lay Eggs; One Owner Files Suit Boston, Mass., March 21.—A suit without parallel in the Bay State courts has been iiled by Miss M. Louise Jackson, of Cambridge, against the Norumbega Park Com pany. The issue involved concerns parrot eggs. I-ast summer Lizzie, the park parrot, laid two eggs, af ter being live years in captivity. The park management became so enthu siastic over the affair it offered $5OO to any one who could produce a bird with a better egg record. Miss Jackson's parrot, a captive some twenty years, had produced four eggs. She put in a clnlm for the $5OO. Her claim received no attention. Now she wants not only the $5OO, but $5OO more for her trouble. The suit indicates she in tends to get it. ffiNEWS RN(7 NOTES QFTHE BDY SCOUTS $ jTROOP THIRTEEN I PATROLS MEET I I [ Win High Honors at j! Gathering • j Last Friday evening. Troop Thirteen • | of the Boyd Building held n very suc . ! cessful scout meeting. The Troop has | forty-three scouts enrolled in its or ; ganization and out of that number there i were thlrty-flve present. The meeting ■ was the same as usual and after the j regular business, the awards for the | week were given. Joseph ilagar cap j tured an achievement button and then ; Karl Moesleln who already has a pocket I full of medals was awarded the "ace [ medal." Karl is the first lad to get j an "ace" in the Troop and the scouts I were afraid the Troop was going to be j left in this part of the war program : hut however, tlie Troop was saved at | the last moment. The Patrols of the j Troop are having a contest in merits j and demerits and the chart in the scout j room shows every week the results of ■ these small organizations. The Patrols I are having quite a lot of fun out of this | contest, and the merits of the Troop are as follows although they may not seem strict to other readers: Not using tobacco, not swearing, at- I tending church, attending Sunday school | are each rewarded by two merits while ! attending scout meeting, passing a sec j ond class tVst are worth five merits and I last of them nre the bringing in new | scouts, special duty, and passing of any j first class test are made up by giving each of these fifteen merits. ; Then there are demerits and these are as follows: Not attending meeting j and for being late are awarded by five i demerits each while disorderly conduct I ten demerits each. By these merits and •no report of good turns are worth I demerits, the Patrols are always on I the job and the chart is considered every j scout meeting with a great deal of j interest and the lines indicating the i lieighth of the contest is watched eager jly by the winning and non-winning | teams. j It is often bard to get Patrols to gether and therefore the Patrols of the ! Troop last Friday evening held meetings I by themselves in different parts of the ' building and as a result have started | things going. Of course as is the case ! with some fellows, they don't have any I pep and as a consequence things go j bad with their Patrol but with the { coming yearly election in view, the j scouts of the Patrol are looking around for a suitable Patrol Leader and those who have not been on the job for the | past year will not have a chance as | the fellows are awake to the fact that I a leader with lots of pep must be select | ed. After the Patrols had each held a fine meeting for the length of twenty minutes, the scout meeting was resumed and after other business, the Troop ad journed to the meeting which will be held by Troop Thirteen on the square as a demonstration on Scout Meeting. FENSTEMACHER. Scribe. Cubs of Pack Two Liked Scout Rally; It Was Okeh! Well, how did you like the rally on Tuesday? Okeh, I say. Some gang there, wasn't there? The parade for I the first one of the season was right ' We made a good showing, nearly 100 per cent.—seventeen cubs present out |of an enrolment of eighteen. That's j sticking together. Makes me think of I that song "Any Old Place the Oang ! Goes, I'll Be There." The Cubmaster hasn't found any stars yet, but he'll have some before this time next week. Who will be the first cub to win the stars? In this con nection I might say that a new rule will go into effect to-night. Because we have no badge the cap will be re garded as our badge, and no Cub will be permitted to wear the cap until he has passed the Tenderpad Test. When the One Star test is passed, the star will be placed on the cap to the right of the number, and when the two Star test is passed, the second star will be placed to the left of the number. I saw some Cubs at the Rally in Scout uniform. I don't know how that happened—"No boy under twelve shall wear the Scout Uniform." This was a wise ruling, and I for one am glad it was made. The cubs have their own organization and the scouts have theirs. The uniform Pack Two has adopted, subject of course to the approval of the executive, is the green cap, blue shirt, green nectle. khaki shirts, and black stockings and shoes. It isn't expensive, and if ever a national cub uniform comes into use the shirt and pants can easily he used for play. It isn't a great expense any way you take it 1 believe about ten fellows have uni forms. Bet's get busy. No hike this Saturday, but keep your eye on the ball, <>ne is coming soon. To-night we arc going to get busy on One Star work so come prepared for lots of hard work and little play. Only two caps left, get one soon. If you have any friends who want to join Pack Two, bring them around soon. We have room for only six more Cubs. See you later. CUB HUSTON. Scribe. TROOP 22's SIKICTIXG Monday evening Troop 22 held a meeting to elect new officers. They then took their oath of office and we hope to have a successful term. We were at the Rally too on Wednesday, and so were our younger brothers, the Wolf Cubs. We have tlirce active patrols and every one was represented at the Rally. The Scout Executive called us babies and thought we were just young, hut in a year we will make him "eat" his words. The Wolf Cubs said they had to go along to find out just what Scouts did. The Scout Executive made them stand on their chairs. Serves them right. We learned a lot of valuable informa tion from Mr. Wirt about trees and forests, and we think that we can do something to help in the conservation of them. You will hear from us again in the course of a week or two. So long. SWEIGART. Scribe. CHANGE PATROLS. The regular meeting which was held on Friday evening March 11. at 7:30. At the meeting the patrols were changed, also elections of Patrol Reader and assistants were as follows: Reon Reisch, Patrol Reader of the Rion Patrol and Robert Miller. Assistant rutrol Reader; Weston Smith was elected Patrol Read er of the Flying Eagle and John Martin Assistant Patrol Reader. Patrol Read ers for the other Patrols will be elected In the near future. Two new candidates were Ernest Cook and Charles Harbolt. At the close of the business session the Troop was drilled by Frank ReVan a former corporal in the United States Army. JACOB MATTER. Scribe. The Wigwam j The buffalo skin hangs over the door Jof Red Cloud's wigwam to-day, and j the birds bop around it curiously won ! dering what has become of their "big | brother." You know, don't you. Scouts, i 1 tliink I do. He has responded to the ! call of spring and gone forth to follow j ids old trails. In a few days lie will ■ return, full of vim and vigor, and will again delight us with his tales. To-day "old reliable (Troop 13) have something to tel! us. When you read j the stories of Fenstemachcr and Hagar I you may he inclined to think what the l Office Scout thought upon reading them —"Well, if they haven't spring fever I'd like to know who has." But we all have it—even the Scout Executive. While the Office Scout is pounding away on the typewriter wish ing five o'clock would soon come, the man who is usually on the lert and doing something every minute, is idly turning the pages of—a new seed cat alog. Only about two months more I of school and then for summer, camp, swimming n'everything. NATURE, Perhaps the above should be listed as "our nature" because at first sight, it may give the reader the impression of that which pertains to the curiosities of the earth but the nature of you and I and the other fellows is still more interesting than the former nature. As we travel up and down the smooth and rough roads of life, we can not help noticing the nature, or in other words the disposition of other people. Of course, if we were all to be sad and dreary, what a world it would be and then if we were all to be jolly and . happy, the world would be unbalanced I and would run right. Although money the factor that helps us along in life, riches is not required to make us joy ful. In fact, there are not many of ! those who are wealthy who have the common sense that the "most of us" have. Our time in life numbers about three score, ten years and fellows, that sure SCOUTING NOTES I J. Fredrik Virgin Tlio Rally i Yes, there were 393 Scouts out, and every Scout is sure that the neighborhood believes that it was a crowd of Bolsheviki lo&se at | Grace Methodist Church. Scoutmas i ter Jenkins, who acted as Chief [ Bolsheviki, or cheer leader, said he | never heard better singing and ! cheering. It was the biggest group of Roy Scouts under cover that Harrisburg has ever seen. But it was only the first of a series of three or four that are going to he held this spring. The next one will be on the hill. Date will be an nounced later. George Wirt, of the State Forestry Department, is cer tainly a good speaker and we hope to have him again some day in the near future, lie tells me that he or some of his colleagues are al ways ready to give any troop special Instruction about forests and how to take care of and appreciate them. Soout Ixxlge Every Scout voiced his sentiments in most approved fashion when the announcement was made that Miss I Anne McCormick has offered the ' McCormick Lodge on the top of Blue Mountain at Lamb's Gap for the use of the Scouts on overnight hikes. Miss McCormick was cheered until the rafters shook, and many scoutmasters made reservations for the use of the lodge at the close of the meeting. There will he simple rules to govern the use of the lodge. No troop may use it without re ceiving written permission from headquarters and only then if the scoutmaster or assistant scoutmas ter is in charge of the visiting body. Drive For Clothes niul Books I was very glad at the response of the Scouts to tho appeal for a house-to-house drive for clothing for the people of destitute Europe, and for books for the soldiers in nearby camps. The directions for this drive are as follows: Every troop will cover its own district in a houee-to house canvass and collect as much clothing as possible, taking it to the Troop Headquarters at the next meeting and then notifying head quarters so that trucks may be sent to bring it to the central deppt. The same rule applies to the collection of books, except that in this case. Scouts are expected to keep up the drive until further notice. Visit of Ration Powell Chief Scout Executive James E. West recently made the announce ment that Sir Robert Baden Powell, chief of the English Boy Scouts, and founder of the movement in F.ngland. will visit America some l time this year. It is the intention to have Sir Baden Powell come to Harrisburg if he can possibly be se cured. and this will be interesting news to all Scouts. Troop 8 Scouts Attend Rally; Have Secured Hut About twenty-five scouts of Troop 8 attended the Scout Rally on Tuesday j evening and were pleased with the sur- | prise. AVe have secured the cottage • for May 29 and 30. Last Monday evening E. A. Heffel finger, a prominent man in Christ Lu thern Church, donated five dollars to wards wiring the meeting-room of the troop, and when the question came he fore the church council they agreed that we might have the place wired. This will be done as soon as possible. This is one of the immediate results of otir demonstration on March 10. We have received the congratulations of many people, and believe that we will SHOE POLISHES qp—w— rcwm\ ww ■■■■■■>■■■———■—— i*|i] B i/-%mi3cMi V is a short time.

Won't It be nice to sit around a camp fire this summer at night and listen to the stories of the wars of past years. What is it that makes the camp or over night hike cheerful? It's the eats and the campfire. If you have read your Scout Manual, you will find that it says that there is nothing like a campfire. I don't mean a great big fire but just a fire that -will throw a light several feet around It. The Scout Manual will also tell you that a camp Is not a camp without a story teller. What kind of stories does a Scout like to hear? Something like "Jesse James Midnight Rail, or the Battle of Bloody Gulch" or some real good American stories. Ghost stories generally bring up the end of the evening, when the embers are glow ing and the corn begins to pop. and it Is just the time to roast the apples and potatoes. Every body tries to find a companion before the story begins, and lie looks back over his shoulder into the darkness, hut he sees nothing. He listens and he hears the crickets calling and the foxes yelping and then he crawls closer to the fire. After the corn Is popped, and each one gets his share, the story begins. It is not about some ghost in the town but about the place where their carrip is situated, and in the days of the Indians. Just at the climax, the' fellows take another little peep over their shoulders, but all Is still darkness, and nothing has come to harm them yet. About this time, every one should be In bed, so they can be full of pep the next day. So off to the hay they hike.

It was a short one in order to hold examinations afterward. Ex aminations were held in all classes. First class signaling was taken with the" new telegraph outfits which the Troop purchased lately.

Mr. Wirt Lectures to Scouts on "Trees" Troop 4 had an Interesting meeting on Monday night. Business was dis posed of quickly including the levying MERCHANTS: If yon are a grocer, druggist, hardware dealer, tobacconist, clothier, furnisher, jeweler ana kind of a storekeeper—you shouldn't wait another day before subscribing to the Retail Public Ledger—the new twice-a-month periodical for merchants only. Subscribers say they havo been waiting for it for years. Not n trade-paper, but an inspiring news-magazine that interestingly tells all sorts of things that merchants want to know. Business problems salesmanship, baying, accounting, the handling and training of help, credits, delivering advertising, collections—the Retail Public Ledger tells how they are all being solved in sucl cessful stores. Entertaining fiction dealing with the sentiment and drama of storekeeping, anecdotes, verse, photographs, news of big movements for merchants' benefit—three pleas ant hoarseorenterulning, helpful reading in every issue.
