In .the course of, his Journey, . when he. was keeping “men- tally. awake” Jobserving.everything that was .of :interest, he perceived 8. cow ironping:, frantically 3o down. a ‘field, some 80_rods to tize. right of his _path._He “climbed . three fences: to "reach .the distressed anlmal_and on arrival discovered a_calf drowning. in the .stream Just below _the pasture at the foot of a steep l.umk The scout plunged down the bank! got the calt into shallow water, beyond danger of drowning. Then he ran to the farm house nearby where he found the own- er of the cattle and helped him get the calf up the bank and into the barn. In the same town, scouts discov- ered, within 30 minutes, a lost child for whom the police had searched in vain for five hours, The speedy dis- covery was due to the fact that a scout had observed a child answering the description and remembered pre- cisely where he had seen the child.

Hart, principal of the Lewls and Clark High school of Spo- kane, Wash,, recently jssued the fol- lowing statement: “Boy scouts who come to the high school exhibit three predominating characteristics as a group: Ready pre- ception, a sense of courtésy and will- ingness to assume the responsibility of student leadership, The Lewis and Clark boys who have had traloing in scoutdom exhibit a freeness, fearless- ness_and frankness that make for them friends. I am highly impressed with the value of this work for boys.” WIVES COME INTO GAME Scout mother clubs are becoming nu- merous and effective throughout the country. From Germantown, Pa., comes the report of a new association whose membership is made up of the wives of scoutmasters, assistant scoutmas- ters and ofticials of the district. The object of the auxillary will be to fur- ther the Interests of the newcomer in every possible way fhroughout the dis- trict. DOINGS OF SCOUTS A curlous case s reported from Kan- pas City, where Harry Saloman, a blacksmith ~ arrested for abusing hiy wife while under the influence of drink, was paroled to his own son, a fourteen- year-old boy scout. Fort Worth sea scouts are building their own ‘sail- boats, each of which will be capable of carrying ten pas- sengers and 27 feet of canvas. The keel of the first vessel, the Merrimac, _has already been luld, and that of her sgister ship, the Pirate, will soon follow. _Bubscribe “gus XRe _Laly _Floneer WHEW RERDIN T w&ans, LAND OF DARK SUPERSTITION Guided by Strange, Sometimes Most -Savage Beliefs. One of the first things a traveler no- tices in a .Moorish town are the “hands,” painted. or drawn, on the walls of many houses and buildings. These are to avert the “evil spirit”; five, the number of fingers, Is con- sidered a sacred number. These hands are also worn in the form of orna- ments, and serve to keep off the “evil one” As in Europe, the horseshoe is frequently seen over doorways. A Moor considers it a great sin to cut bread with a knife, declaring fhat our hands were given us to break it. The same idea accounts for the say- ing that “to tread on corn is to tread on angels.” Offerings of food, hair and other small articles are often placed in the trunks of certain trees, and have a quaint significance. As the makers of these offerings are poor Moors with large families, they firmly believe that Allah_wlll be, pleased and will give them means to support thelr familles. Some Moors declare that, after this’ oftering, their children eat less, nnd, therefore, cost less to keep. At another spiked balls are thrown into the air and allowed to fall on the throwers’ heads. The man who appears the most injured and ferocious Is con- sldered the most truly religlous. Moorish marriages are performed at. midnight, and the bride is confined to her room for several days after the ceremony. No Moorish woman who 18 truly religious Is seen in the streets at, any time, except in cases of absolute necessity. Life Is indeed different from that In Europe. Peculiar Indian Custom. 1t is an Inviolable covenant within the Navajo Indian nation that after the marriage a son-in-law must never set eyes on his mother-in-law, and vice: versa, a mother-in-law must never see her son-in-law. The daughters-in-law are not mentioned. According to Navajo traditions, & Navajo girl Is considered the property of her parents until she marries. Prior; to her marriage a contract is made be< tween the father of the girl and the destined bridegroom. When a Navajo woman marries she becomes free and may leave her husband for suficient cause. A warrlor of one clan must marry a malden of one of the 51 oth- ers, and vice versa. The descent of the clans is passed along by the fe- male line. @reatest Collection of Americana. A wonderful new library is about | being built in connection with the Unl- versity of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and when it is finished 1t will house tle | greatest collection of Amerlcana in the world. The collection and library are the gift of Willlam C. Clements, a member of the board of regents of the university. The best part of his life and a great part of his fortune was spent in the collection of rare books of American history. The volumes alone are said to be valued at $300,000. 1 The Witch!
