NOTES OFTHEIBOY SCOUTSS TROOP 13 IS NOW VERY BUSY Many Members Have Been Camping at Ixish's Hun Troop 13 has been bsuy these days. The Troop has many fellows out of town and of course that is expected with the cool breese of summer blow ing from mountain to mountain. Troop 13's headquarters is situated in the Boyd Memorial Building and that building every year has a camp.

Christip and Carl Blumen stine, Raymond Connor, Edgar Nies, Stiles Smith, and William Fenste macher. Troop IS was camping- right above our camp and the boys of Camp Boyd made good use of the time they had to spend in the outdoors. The birds were studied and their songs listened i to; also there were chipmunks to run ! after and also rabbits and squirrels, "wlmming was the chief sport and hiking a popular pastime. The fel | lows first hike was to Gerdy's notch and the second to Newport. Both walks were of good distance but that ■ didn't trouble the Scouts. Then there ; are good cherries and we always I looked for the best on top of the I tree. Snakes were abundant, espe | cially copper heads and black snakes. Several fellows brought good snake skin specimens home while others I brought home fossils from fossil I rock h When Bob Lenig blew the bugle to get the fellows out of bed. he was about murdered by shoes and other heavy articles that were thrown. However, he was loved when mess call sounded. At night, we sat around the camp fire telling stories that is some were true and others were Just true lies but just the same the fellows all enjoyed a good ripping Indian story. Mr. Dinsmore came up one night and he certainly made things lively with his jokes and songs. The fel lows had a fine time while it lasted as far as the activities were con cerned. The two weeks soon passed and the I fellows left for home. Donald Mc- Camand and Stile Smith got oft at . Duncannon while the others came to ' Harrisburg. The capital city was at .1 last reached and the fellows hurried j for home. With many other stories of our 1 trip, that can only be told by those who were with us at camp, we re ; main Ever yours, ■ Troop 13. BABIES DYING OF STARVATION Hod Cross Finds Rumanian Children in Poor Condition Borhareat, July 3. The children of Rumania are the special care of the American Red Cross nurses who i are showing Rumanian mothers how to , care properly for them. They are distributing infant's clothing, con denced milk, soap, talcum powder and everything that contributes to a baby's comfort. In this field of re lief work the efforts of the Americans already have shown remarkable re- ITWASTERRIBLE ~ TO SEE HIS AGONY, MRS. JONES SAID j "My Husband and I Are Very Grateful," Declared Plymouth Woman "My husband and I are very gratefel to Natonex for restoring j health and happiness to oor heme," | said Mrs. E. Jones, of 3 4 Walnut | street, Plymouth. "It was terrible ] to see the suffering m.v husband would endure after eating only a ! few mouthfuls of food. The pain | would be so bad it would twist his ' face in agony. "He would just gasp for breath , and he was told he had asthma and j was advised to get away from the i fumes of sulphur, or it would sure jly get him. He had rheumatic I twinges and his nervous system was so out of order that he would go i for days without a wink of sleep i and then it was a strain to keep at I his work. "A friend of mine who saw his I condition advised me to get Natonex. j She said she knew a woman and I had been w'th her when she used ' to be up and down every other day j and Natonex brought her new health and strength. "That is how I learned of Naton ex, and it was wonderful knowledge, for my husband felt relieved from the first. The distress after eating iis only a memory now. The relief j he has received is nothing short of j wonderful. His bowels are regular and his system is rid of gas. "His breathing is so much easier j that he is confident this condition I will disappear altogether. His j nerves are so improved he now gets gtod restful sleep. In fact, he is just getting along splendidly. "On account of the change brought about by Natonex. I think it is only right that I should tell our experience, hoping others may do as we did." ; "So many people say the relief Natonex brings is •wonderful,' but it is not wonderful at all," said the Natonex representative. "Isn't it natural that famous Nature reme dies, known, trusted and proved for fifty years and all noted for a special curatiVfe value, should bring relief as they are intended to? "No one doubts the safe, sensible Natonex Nature remedies. Nothing secret. Pure as air and sunshine. Natonex can be taken without a single misgiving." Natonex is specially introduced only at the Gorgaa drug store, 16 North Third street. Beware of imi tations that have a similar name and are peddled from house to house. Natonex is sold only by the leading druggists in each towr THE OFFICE SCOUT The office Scout was never .more sorry not to be a boy than on Sat urday night at the Peace Bonfire celebration. Of course the Office Scout was there, and saw everything that was to be seen, and everything, almost, that was to be heard. Weren't you surprised at the sire of the crowd? I was, and I'm glad that 1 wasn't one of the men who spoke for I'd have had stage fright. T'm sure that no one heard so many fav orable comments upon Scouts and Scouting as I did that night, wand ering in and out through the crowd. 1 wanted to hear what everyone had to say about you fellows and be lieve me, if you had heard every thing I did you'd all look like sol diers on parade. Did you see those pictures of Camp Hacoboscani in the paper the other evening? Weren't they fine? 1 surely do envy those fellows, yes, even Bill German and Bill Bushncll peeling spuds. Some of the fellows of Troop 18 have the right idea. Their Scout master, John German, is taking a CAMP HACOBOSCAM Well, fellows, don't you envy us? Here we are at Camp Hacoboscam, the coolest spot to be found. The water up here is certainly cold, but we must swim, so in we go. On Tuesday afternoon under the direc tion of the camp officials, our Scout master, M. C. Piper, and Mr. Lotz, six of our fellows in Troop 22 stood the 50-yd. swimming test in grand shape. But much to our surprise and delight, three Cubs of Pack 1. which is connected with our Troop, also But Seven Cubs of Pack Two at Supper Hike The supper hike last Thursday wasn't very popular. Only seven Cubs thought it worth while to make the efTort. But the weather wasn't what it should have been. We took a chance though and had a good time —had Wildwood Park all to ourselves. We saw a few men fishing and three automobiles, and nothing more, re minded be of a busy day in Ono. Saturday night we were out in full bloom however, eighteen fellows pre sent out of a possible twenty-five, and three cubs at the Scout camp, we feel that we did our best. The par ade was the best Scout parade ever pulled off in Harrisburg. I have suits. Th£ condition of the chlldrett has been wonderfully improved. The Red Cross workers found the children in all these war-affected towns in a pitiful state of impoverish ment. Many of them were slowly dying of starvation. Others had pell agra and malignant skin diseases. These little ones are now being cared for and given nourishment and fat tening foods, such as bacon, jam, cod-liver oil, etc. They have shown wonderful improvement since the Americans came. War Blighted Lives All these children have been under the stress and strain of war for four years and have really never known twhat childhood is. In common with their parents, they have borne the keenest privations and sufferings. Since Rumania entered the war they have not known what it is to play or to laugh. Hunger has robbed them of • that spirit. The war has blighted their lives. No smiles have come to their faces, no happiness in to their hearts. They are like flowers which have never seen the sunshine. Their wan, pinched little counten ances tell a tragic story. They have had neither proper food, shelter nor clothing. Many of them have lost either one or both parents. The Red Cross gives them Ameri can jam and sweets, the things that youngsters the world over crave for, and their dark eyes, frank and mel ancholy. light up with' a new radi ance. They become children again. The Americans give them clothing, shoes, stockings. They bathe them. The little tots become real human beings. Deatk of Lady Paget Evokes Eulogies From Many British Papers London, July 3.—The death of Lady Paget, wife of General Sir Arthur Paget, evoked eulogies of her in many British papers, which keenly regret the passing of the American woman who gladdened so many lives by her philanthropic work. For nearly forty years Lady Paget was a leader of London society. She made the organizing of entertain ments for charitable purposes almost the main business of her life, raising enormous sums. Her activities along that line were continued throughout the war. Lady Paget was the daughter of Paran Stevens, an American hotel man. She, Lady Randolph Churchill and the Duchess of Manchester, the Manchester Guardian recalls, "were a trio of American beauties who shook the exclusiveness of English society in the early seventies," when they made their aristocratic mar riages and established themselves as social leaders and friends of King Edward and Queen Alexandra. Lady Paget was then described as "a dark, brilliant young beauty with remark able blue-black eyes." Twenty years ago she was crippled by an accident in an elevator, but it made no difference to her social and charitable work. She had four chil dren, a son who died during the war, two who were wounded, and a daughter, Lady Ralph Paget, who made a name for herself In hospital' work for the Serbians. Jap Capitalists Try to Buy Iron Deposit in Mexico Mexico City. July 3.—Japanese cap italists are trying to close deals In volving the purchase of the principal iron deposits in Mexico, according to El Universal, which paper bases Its story on rumors in commercial cir cles. It is said that the deposits in volved are those of Cerro del Mer cado, in Durango, the value of which is increased by the proximity of the coal mines of Coahuila. The paper adds that it is proposed to bring to Mexico thousands of Japanese workers. BXBRISIIURGIMkTEDSOiaPH crowd of them up to Camp Hacobo scam to spend the Fourth.

Wasn't the bonfire some hot, the fellows toward the railroad certainly got the full benefit. Our outfit was composed of sixteen Scouts, eighteen Cubs, and two officers, and we brought home the bacon in the shape of four medals, two bars, and a German helmet. Crego, Adams, and Chas. R.

"Our ability to establish permanent trade relations with the belligerent European nations which have been drained of their resources by war depends upon our willingness to ac cept a program of barter in the ex change of commodities," is the opin ion given to The Associated Press correspondent by Dr. Alfred P. Dennis, United States commercial attache' here. "Italy," he added, "needs such of our raw materials as coal, iron ore, lumber and petroleum products to enable her to start up her industrial processes and begin anew her econ omic convalescence. She cannot go on borrowing the money to pay for our goods. If she is to have them It must be through swapping her com modities for ours." Cab and Cabman In Old School of Paris Disappears rarla, July B.—The people of Paris are watching with regret the gradual disappearance of cab and the cab man of the old school. Automobile taxicab competition had reduced the number of one horse cabs in Paris to a little less than 4,000 before the war. The requisition of all horses fit for any service in the army re duced the number to less than 2,000 in 1915. Now there are only 564 in service. Use McNeil's Pain Exterminator—AcJ TECH TEACHER IS SCOUTMASTER Prof. Meiklc Will Direct the Activities of Youths of Troop 20 The regular meeting of Troop 20 was held last Thursday instead of on Friday because of the Sunday School picnic on Friday. We had with us Prof. Melkle, of the Techni cal High School faculty, who is to he our new Scoutmaster. We want all the Scouts of this troop to co operate with him to make his rela tions with the troop as pleasant as possible. The bicycle squad seems to be a fast bunch. Last Saturday, six min utes after the news of the signing of peace was received, eleven Scouts of the squad had reported to the meet ing place. I,ater in the season we expect to organize a squad with members from every troop in the city, for duty as messengers in parades and on special occasions. Scouts interested In join ing this squad should let me know. After camp is over I expect to visit each troop and pick members for this squad. What did jrou think of the parade and bonfire last Saturday? The Scouts made a splendid impression on the people who witnessed it, that will last for a good while, judging from the remarks made about their ap pearance and behavior. Don't forget the business meeting tonight. Bring your money for camp, if you have it. If you haven't it, get it in in time for next Monday when we leave for camp. Bring your candidates for your first class test your "Recruit." J. Edgar Sellers, Ass't. Scoutmaster. Scouts of Troop 9 Have Fine Entertainment The Scouts of Troop 9 had a splen did entertainment last Friday. We showed many of our friends and par ents what real Scouting is. Among the Scout officials present were Mr. German, Scout Commissioner, and Deputy Commissioner J. P, Scott. A fine program had been worked out, and the room where it was given was beautifully decorated. The of ficers of the Troop who were in stalled are James Armstrong, leader of the Beaver Patrol, Ross Cooper, of the Buffalo Patrol, Elvyne Moore of the Fox Patrol, Harry Cooper, Scribe, and Ross Cooper, Treasurer. After the program was over re freshments were sold. We wish to thank all who helped us. We will hold no meeting on Fri i day. Harry Cooper, JAP POSITION . AT PEACE TABLE Prime Minister Explains Its; Interest in the Pro ceedings Toklo, July 3.—Japan occupied at the Peace Conference a special posi tion—she was disinterested in the problems concerned with the Occident but greatly interested in the ques tions bound up with the Far Bast— Takashi Hara, the Prime Minister, has told the editor of a French maga zine published at Tokio. The Premier said: * . "Japan went to the Peace Confer ence with the desire to take an active part in its work and to participate in all questions that might arise. Why? Because Japan is sincerely attached to the cause of right and Justice! She has proved it by closely co-operating with the Allies and by subscribing without reserve to the fourteen pro positions of President Wilson; she never hesitated to join with the pro moters of the League of Nations. "Like the French, English and American peoples, we wish a perman ent peace, better and more open rela tions between nations, a happier hun manity. And we believe we are in a good position to judge things from the point of view of justice and right because we had fewer interests under discussion than Europe and the United States. Our attiftr.3e> U im partial and our delegates at Paiv showed the good faith, sincerity and openness of our politics. "However, violent criticisms have been addressed to us. Japan has been represented as an ambitious, war loving, aggressive nation. The pro ceeding cabinet suffered the same ac cusations wbich were not merited. 1 can assure you my government is doing its best not to canse discon tent; to disregard proceedings which might be thought to bear a repre hensive character. The Peace Con ference has given us an occasion to show we were not guilty of what had been reproached to us." Syedish-American Foundation Formed Stockholm. July 3. A Swedish- American foundation has been formed to send ten Swedish students to America in exchange for ten Ameri cans sent by the Scandinavian-Am erican foundation in New York, to Sweden.

As an indica tion of how German industries are being stimulated by orders from for eign countries, a business letter re cently said that the crockery fac tories in Thuringen "have enough or ders on file to keep them engaged four years.
