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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

score, ten years and fellows, that sure
SCOUTING NOTES I

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.

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.

interestingly tells all sorts of things that merchants want to know. Business problems
salesmanship, baying, accounting, the handling and training of help, credits, delivering
