TROOP 20 "Be Prepared," the motto of the Boy Scouts of America is one which any person or organization may be proud to own.- To t>c prepared for anything at any time and at any place is the object of the entire scouting program. A scout's first step in this direc tion is taken when he promises on his honor to keep himself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. Besides being instructed in how to take care of himself, he must be prepared to save and protect the lives of others. For this reason lie is taught to swim properly; to enter burning buildings in a systematic way; *■ tie knots that will hold, so that people may be let down from burning buildings quickly and with safety; to save people from death by breaking through ice and drown ing; and to save people from being killed by electrical snocK. By hav ing a knowledge of first aid, a scout knows how to treat the victims of such accidents as arc mentioned above, and others. Very few people know how to res cue a drowning person without put ting themselves in a Very danger ous position; or what precautions to take when entering a burning build ing; or what to do when once in side the building. Nor can many people tie a knot which will be sure to hold and yet will not bind the person being lowered. A scout knows how to go about getting a person out of a hole in the ice without putting himself in a dangerous posi tion. He also knows how to handle a person in contact with a live wire. A person is not a hero who swims after a drowning person, who enters a burning building, or who goes out on the ice to pull some one out, or who tries to get a person away from live wires, unless he knowjt the prop er method of getting about each. Better is it by far to keep such an inexperienced, unprepared person away from the one in danger, for in doing what he thinks is a brave and heroic deed, he is putting his own life in great danger and in stead of one person being killed the number is increased to two. ply of white corpuscles (the police men of the Blood) which fight all disease germs, but it also Increases the supply of red corpuscles which I carry life and nourishment to every j part of the hodv. I MAKK THIS TEST AND SAT ISFY" YOURSELF— • Go to H. C. Kennedy or Ge o A. I Gorgas, or any other good druggist, I anil obtain a trial package of Novo San containing 12 days' treatment. Take two tablets i t'mes a dav after ! locals for the full 1? days and if by I this time you d.-, not feel ; ,t least |sb per cent better, if you do not sleep better, if you do not eat hei j ter and if you are not more cheerful, return the empty package to your druggist and obtain your money. Just recently there appeared in the daily papers an account of how a scout, just twelve years old, saved a companion from drowning after he had gone down for the second time. More than this, because he tvas prepared to treat the boy, by artificial respiration he brought the boy back to consciousness and then made him as comfortable as possible until a doctor arrived. Had this scout not been prepared to take the proper care of the victim after he had been gotten to shore, he would surely have died before the doctor could get to the scene of the acci dent. Likewise a scout makes use of I signalling in different ways to save life and property, by day with his arms or flags, by night with lights. ) Suppose that a scout has his leg broken when within sight of camp but too far away to make his voice heardi It is night and he cannot signal by means of flags or his arms. He cannot build a fire to send smoke signals. But he has with him a flash light, and by means of the i wireless code can tell his comrades ; just what has happened so that they can bring with them them necessary equipment, thus saving an extra trip, as would be required if he could not tell his friends the nature of the accident. A scout is at home, in the woods. Ho is prepared to stay out in the , open and knows how to take care of himself while there. He can cook without the ordinary cooking uten sils, make fire without matches, and build a "lean to" or hut to sleep in. i He is prepared to draw a rough ; sketch map of a given territory to 1 scale, and can judge distance, size, ! number, height, and weight with 1 practical accuracy; He can track animals and people and by certain j symbols made by placing sticks, i grass, or stones in different positions | can warn others of danger. He can travel a long distance in ! a short time without becoming fa | tigued and can tell direction hy day i or night without the aid of a com- I pass. He knows how to fell a tree properly and can make it fall in any | direction desired. A scout is able to do all these and i many other things because he is l prepared. The main object of all these re quirements is to make a boy a use ful citizen, one who can think with precision, act with quickness and accuracy, and who can be trusted at all times. A prepared efficient citi j zen—what higher aim could be set > for an organization than the train | ing of such? Is such a citizen not I an asset to his home and his coun try? As vou turn these things oyer in | vour mind; as you realize the op portunities which are presented the ! boy of to-day by this wonderfully efficient organization: would it not I !be to your advantage and the ad- I I vantage of your community if you I were to have for your motto, as do ! the boy scouts, "Be Prepared." Inter-Patrol Meet of Troop 8 Is Won by Eagles; Get 32 Points! Troop Eight's third inter-patrol j meet was successfully pulled off j i last Monday evening. The Eagle j | Patrol won the meet with 32 points. | After a short business meeting that j j evening we adjourned to the base-1 •: ment of the church. We were in- ( | spected by R. H. Lyon, deputy j I scout commissioner of our district, j ! Then we took our seats and the fun | ' commenced. Some of the contests i ; were: First aid match, peanut race. > | crab race, centipede race, three | legged race, bag race, ice cream race j j and the whistle race. The ice cream | j race afforded the most fun. Two Scouts from each patrol were l i blindfolded, given plates of ice i cream and told to feed each other, i The first spoonful went into the j Scouts' mouth, but the remainder of ] ! it went down their necks and over j j *heir clothes. After the races were | i ove lefteshments were served, and ' dur'ng this time the troop was ad- | i dressed by Scout Commissioner! 'Herman, and Deputy Commissioners' I Lyons and Scott. i Mr. German then presented Scout- j 'master Jenkins and Assistant Scout masters Koehler and Keller with! gold Scout pins on behalf of the! troop. These were given as a token j of the troop's appreciation of the j good services which the scoutmas- j ter and his assistants have rendered j the troop. Mr. Jenkins then presented the i Eagle patrol with their prize which j consisted of an aluminum cup for each of its members. The Commission and his depu- j ties declared that this was the most i pleasant evening that they had everj ; spent with a troop of Boy Scouts. I SPOTZ, Scribe. ! Troop 28 Enjoys Novel Hike to Bellevue Park Troop 28 enjoyed a novel and ex citing Scout hike last Friday night, j ; It was more in the nature of a trail- i 'ing game through the woods from | Bellevue Park to Penbrook and j return. Xo highways were traveled! at all. A line along fences and! j streams of watei was followed the! whole distance. Fifteen Scouts made] | the trip with Scoutmaster Irvinj Martin in the lead. Several times! .during the evening the Scouts sep- j ! arated from one another and fol-1 ! lowed a trail of broken grass and ! , bent twigs and in other places mere ! lootmaks, but all succeeded in ar- J riving at the goal, having followed ' their leader the whole distance. So great has been the interest' shown in this type of after supper! j amusement, that another hike of like! | nature is scheduled for next week. Troop Seven Holds Scout Service in Rainstorm A scout's reverence was tried to j i its fullest measure orj Sunday when ! ; forty scoutfj of Troops 7 and 16 as- j | sembled in spite of a down pour of I rain at the Harris Street Evangel!- i cal church for a special scout serv- ] ice. An excellent solo by Mr. Bailey, Assistant Scoutmaster Bailey, en- ! ! titled "Be a Hero," was the keynote I lof a good meeting. The address by 1 i our energetic scout executive, J. F. ! ! Virgin, was thoroughly enjoyed by j j all. We believe it was seed sown ' i on good ground, so watch for re- I j stilts. Mr. Flexer concluded the! ' services with an express'on of the ; i very gratifying results that are now | being shown by the Boy Scouts of ! America. I The following scouts have been ! named to serve on camp committee: 1 Lloyd Got wait. John Bogar. James . Hav, William Bodmer, and Rudolph j : Miller. KUDOLPR MILLER, TROOP TWENTY HAD 43 SCOUTS Eighteen New Scouts Enrolled During Past Year; Good Financial Report Since the organization of Troop 20 on Juno 4, 1917, forty-three dif ferent boys have been connected with the troop. Of the original or ganization, fourteen scouts are still active members. Since last June, eighteen applica tions for membership were accepted, but only eleven took the Tenderfoot Tests; three scouts resigned and two scouts were dismissed. During the year the troop has met for scouting instruction, rallies religious services, parades, and for special duly, sixty-seven times. Six hikes were taken by an average of ten scouts, covering an average ot nine miles per hike. Twenty promotions were made, and a member of our troop had the honor of being appointed the first official scout bugler in the. city. One hundred and ten visitors have been to see us in the past twelve months. The troop had several un ion meetings at which time up-town troops were our guests. One hundred and thirteen scouts from other troops were present at one of these meetings. A successful ten-day camp was run last August with an attendance of twenty-six boys at a cost dally of fifty-eight cents per boy. There were no accidents. Under the supervision of Assistant Scoutmaster Weaver, members of tho troop made and erected sign-posts in Wildwood Park for the use of all the scouts in the city,, marking off 100 feet, 100 yards, one-quarter, one half, three-quarters, and one mile. The 100 foot stretch was intended to be used to find the length of a reout's pace: the 100 yard stretch for I races, and the remaining distances for races and for practicing scout pace. The troop helped in all public dem onstrations where scouts were asked to serve, such as the Inauguration of the Governor, in which the scouts acted as aides; on the day the armis tice was signed, when they took charge of traffic; in the Memorial Day parade when scouts assisted the Civil War veterans in many ways; and on last July 4 when they fur nished ice-water to the paradem and assisted the police in keeping the side streets open. The troop always had a large representation on hand when asked to respond to this kind of service. The financial report summaries for the year ending June 4, 1919, shows total assests of $96.65, of which $15.84 is cash in bank. ———— I I, , —— "Harrisburg's Dependable Store" "My son they're good clothes, for I have been deal- / Sfes ' Sr'VvF ing with Wm, Strouse for twenty-five years and I have always Q found his suits dependable".

Graveyard Experiences For Troop 17 Members Well, Scouts, I have to tell you about the Initiation that all the mem bers of Troop Seventeen had given to them by the Scoutmaster and his assistant. First, he had us march at double quick time until we came to his home. There he got a bottle, a cup and spoon and a big piece of rope. Next he blindfolded us and then had us to get hold of the rope, by which ho led us along. Well sir, >ve thought we were going over ditches, plowed ground and everything else. Then we were fed some of the best tasting stuff that you could ever think of. We were led on for a little while longet - , and then somebody let loose some of the sweetest smelling chemical that you ever heard of. By this time it was dark so we were led into what seemed a very large field, still blindfolded, and sep arated from one another. After each one was standing alone and quite a distance from the rest we heard the command to assemble at double quick. Boy, that was some double quick. One of the seoats while still blind ed, reached out his hand and felt a nice big cold tombstone. We were next led into an old eaved-in church, and made stand in there very quiet while there was some very queer noises going on, and some of the Scouts saw spooks, ghosts and everything else. Well, taking all in all, we had a very splendid time, but we certainly did feel better after we were out of that graveyard. Scout scribe, RALPH B. WIIISLER. WORLD'S STORMIEST PLACE The stormiest place In all tlc world is said to be Cape Prince of Wales, which is the westernmost point in Alaska. It is marked hy a considerable mountain 2,210 feet high, and fierce winds blow there perpetually. Storms from the Arc tic Ocean assail this inhospitable re gion all the year round. On the south side of the moun tain are Eskimo dwellings—"igloos" dttg underground and walled and roofed with timbers. Xo trees grow in that region, but the natives of for Northern Alaska have always a plentiful supply of driftwood, car ried from the Yukon river hy an ocean current that skirts the coast. The underground igloes (construct ed to escape the storm and wind) are so built as to form connecting rooms, with communicating doors that are mere holes through which the occupants are obliged to' crawl on hands and knees. The only ven tilation is afforded by the vertebra of a whale (which serves as an air tube), thrust up through the roof. On the north (or Arctic) side of the cape is one of the most pros perous of native villages, whose in habitants keep and breed reindeer, and sell the meat at a good price to passing ships.—Detroit News. Dr. John Fager Addresses Members of Troop No. 2 A very interesting meeting was held by the scouts of Troop 2 this week.

Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair In I good condition, be careful what you j wash it with. ! Most soaps and prepared shampoos j contain too much alkali. This dries i the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and jis very harmful. Mulsifled cocoanut j oil shampoo (which is pure and en j tirely greaseless), is much better i than anything else you can use for : shampooing, as this can't possibly in | jure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with wa iter and rub it in. One or two tea | spoonfuls will make an abundance of ! rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the i hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather i rinses out easily, anil removes every ) particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and | excessive oil. The hair dries quickly I and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man ; age. You can get Mulsifled cocoanut oil I shampoo at most any drug store. It is ; very cheap, and a few ounces is i enough to last everyone in the fam i ily for months.
