“ | | (Conducted by.National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.) w | SCOUT LAWS IN CAMP, e P \ 2 " Every boy scout attending the Whita ‘Plains Council camp this summer, i8 given a little folder. on the application of the scout law in camp. Here are a few of the paragraphs discussing the different laws: A Scout ls Trustworthy.—A scout’s honor Is'trusted in damp as well as - elsewhere. The things’ you brought to camp belong to you and what the other ‘campers brought” I)elong to them. Do'not take anything that does .not belong to you without asking per- mission of the owner.’ If he loans you anything, you are trusted with it and | are expected to return it in as good & condition as when taken to the place -or person from whom borrowed. You are responsible for amy camp tools or ‘equipment you may use which ‘are the property of the camp. Be careful with them and return them to their proper “ .place, When on-a hike with other scouts or alone, you are on your honor and expected to behave as a scout. A Scout ls Cheerful.—Smile, smile, smile. No long face in camp, It will cheer you up and also the\ol.her el Jow. Do youy work cheerfully and ‘don’t grumble at. hardships nor shirk your duty. The;a' gre dutles to be done In camp; go at them with a smile and you will work better and quicker. Time is saved by doing your task the best it can be done. Don't consider it done until it i3 done in the very best way. (N bt | A Scout 1s Thrifty—~The camp .equipment "has cost a great deal of money. It belgngs to the scouts. How long it lasts, depends a great deal on “how you use it. A scout does not de- stroy any property whether it belongs .to himself or to another, Respect the rights of others by using their things in the right way. Make good use of your time {n camp by learning some- thing that will be of use to you. It isn’t necessary to spend all your To save it ‘money because it has been given you * .or you have earned it. from belng lost or recklessly spent _the camp bank is.operated; Deposit it there, . —_— BROTHER SCOUTS, | Chief Manabozho “(Mohawk) and ,8cout Charles H_olly (Manhattan) at Lake Kanohwahke (Boy Scout Camp, i 8pencer, N .Y.) | 13 BOY. §COUT. WORK IN ALBANIA. The first troop of boy scouts to be rorganized in' Albania has recently been istarted in Tirana by an American Red |Ofoss woman., The boys are deeply |interested, and are quite ‘as eager to do their daily good turn as their Amer- fcan brothers, They wear a uniform ,|stmilar to our {wn, but their cap is a picturesque affalr of black felt, with |a tartan band.of réd end black, the Albanian natfonal colors, around the edge and hanging down ' the back. {Most of the boys are Musselmans and {must wear a brimless hat, so that their faces' may never be concealed from Allah, . 3 THE ISLANDBEAUTIFUL, W —_— Davenport (Ia.) boy scouts are de- favorite camping - point, the most beautiful 18land on the Mississippi.

WORKED BENEATH THE EARTH Discovery in Jerunle/m 8olves Much pf Mystery Connected With King Solomon’s Temple, How often great discoveries spring from trifiing incidents! The trite re- flection comes to mind mnaturally on hearing how the quarries of King Sol- omon wepe found. ., Dr. Allen Moore, for 17 years a resident of Palestine, tells the curious tale. / | | For many many years, says ‘Doctor (g Moore, travelers and archeologists were puzzled to know where the enor- mous blocks of stone still standing in salem were quarried. One day a lit- tle dog Chased a lizard down a hole among -the debris.” The next instant| the dog also disappeared. His master, coming to the opening, peered down in vain. He called, and to his amazemént his voice came back | ag from great depths. He summoned assistance, and a passage was opened into immense subterranean quarries. There were found huge masses of stone almost ready to be hoisted above ground.” 2 = “And don’t you remember,” asks Doctor Moore, “that we are told in our Bibles that the temple was built without sound of saw or of hammer? The fact that the fiuarrymnn worked | _underground partly ‘explains that.” Upon some- of the stones were found | Inseriptions that perplexed ‘the explor- ers until one scholar pronounced them Phoenician, The stones were wrought | by some of that army of workmen sent | By King Hiram of Tyré to ald King Solomon in his task.—Youth’s Com- panion. > GROUSE LIVES LIKE ESKIMl)i In Cold Weather the Bird Finds a 8afe and Warm Retreat “in Snow House. - In the temperate months the grouse has an excellent choice of food con- sisting of a great variety of berries, | small frult, seeds, buds, clover, beech- nuts, grasshoppers and a multitude of | young, tender leaves. In the winteér one wonders at their survival; for | now the fall flight of the robins com- pletely exhausts the berries, which ‘were wont to-linger and ripen well into Yvimer, compelling the grouse to depend largely upon yellow birch buds, with°-many a forced meal on an evergreeq. Fortunately, whenever the tempera- ture is. far below zero the sky is usu- ally clear and the grouse are active and unconcerned, but if the days and nights are dark and cold or’the air filled with merciless pellets, they have the habit of plunging inté deep snow- drifts, where a foot below the surface the heat and weight of the body form a globula® retréat, in which they re- /main comfortably until. the storm clears or hunger forces an exit, - - Sometimes in winter or the early spring there may come a rain or a warm day that melts the surface snow followed by severe weather, gnd then thousands of grouse are imprisoned and the herefofose safe retreat be- comes their tomb, should weeks pass by before the seal is broken.—Na- tional. Geographic Mpgazine, Who Made the Alphabet? If it takes a genius to make great words, it was also a genius who made the alphabet which makes the words. The pedijree of our alphabet can be traced continuously for nearly 3,000 years, and then comes a hiatus, says.a recent writer, ’.!'he\genes(s of writing must “naturall be’sought in pictures. Caveman, when he painted his women or beasts on rock walls, or carved elke and elephants on antlers and tusks, was laying the-foundations .of one of the great human inventions. Behind all this apt artistic effort we must see some esoteric motive, for it was not due merely to the striving of the crea- tive soul after expression. Doubtless, adds our authority, when caveman held an exhibition of his works, his friends praised the ingenuity and beauty of his pictures, but there is something more than the desire of simple repro- ductlon hiddeh in his handiwork, Down on the Farm. * A young man spending a vacation was walking about the country lanes in an endeavor to hide from himself entirely all town, life or anything which reminded him of town life. Chancing across a country postman, he stopped him and asked what time it was. Pulling out hfy watch, the postman deliberately replied: * “It’s four o'clock in the afternoon by the railway time.” “By railway time!” ejaculated the | young man., “I should say that you country folk, living in the open air, in the heart of the country, as’you do, would take your time from the sun.” | “What for?” asked the rural post- “Bean't we much closer-to the | rallway—even if it be 12 miles—than | we be to the sun?"—Rehoboth Sunday Herald, / Wye{lsland Home.
