In District No. 1 under Deputy Commissioner Edwin Bean there are 120 scouts, and 14 officials. In District No, 2 under Deputy Com- missioner Tracy N. Shaw there are 142 scouts and 14 scout officials. Under Deputy Commissioner W. C. Goodwin in District No. 3 there are 142 scouts and 14 officials. Dr. H. L. Harvey {s also a deputy commis. sioner with District 3 and he holds’ the position of medica! director for the council. In the extension work there are nine volunteer leaders and 195 scouts. A scoutmasters’ school was started during the year and achieved grati- fying results, receiving the warr: | praise of Loren Barckley of National headquarters who stated that it of- fered one of the best courses in the | country. On June 27 the government of Cas- .| Per was placed in the hands of the scouts from 2 p. m. until 5 p. m., | and a scout mayor and scout council held a session while a scout judge jadministered judgment in_ police court. Other offices were also fill- ed by the scouts. The summer camp held from Aug ust 12 to August 25 gave a vacation to 204 boys.

FOUSE Seventeenth Avenue Community Church (Methodist Episcopal) Of Denver. DENVER, Colo., Dec. 29.—The most significant thing in the year just closing is the coming to grips of the modernists and fundamental- ists. Few suspect what les behind this open rupture among religion- ists. Fewer, still, can anticipate the outcome of this movement that is manifest in spectacular contro- versies. The fact ts that we are living in a reformation period, as definite, as far reaching as that of the six- teenth century. Life, perrenial from the founda- tion of the universe, then broke its shell of church authority and made | for itself a new domicile. After 500 years the same ever growing life has again pipped its shell of creedal and scriptural authority and is in the process of building for itself an- other better expressing, outward form. Judism: prevatled and Christianity was born. Romanism, with mighty birth pains gave the world Protestantism. Protestantism is now in the throes. None {s wise enough ‘o know what is coming forth. We do know that something {s a-born- ing. That is why the confusing incident to the advent of this new expression of God's life, is signi- ficant and is welcomed by men of good will. The prospective mother rejoices when she feels the first pains of deliverance and suffers gladly while the child is making his way into his larger world. Church infallibity was challenged in 1517. Infallibity of the secrip- tures is challenged in 1923. The absolute inarrancy of the Bible, as a dogma, has had its day. The truth hds been trammelled by the Mmitation of its forth tellers.

IN YEARS ONLY TWICE AS MANY ARRESTED IN DENVER Yes, Casper is wild and wooly, say the boys who spend their time protecting the lives and property of its citizens and consequently curbing its tendency to wild- ness. To illustrate, the Casper police department made during 1923 nearly half as many arrests in thi scity of 30,000 as the Denver police department made in a city of 300,000, and there are 16 times;1923 and would have collected more policemen in Denver than | $331,720 in fines. there are in Casper. “I do not take any credit for the One might play with Casper’s fig- | efficiency of the department during ures and those of Denver forever/the past year,” said Alexander and find an infinite amount of en-| Nisbet, chief of police, last night. lightenment in the process.

TOKIO, Dec, 29.—The Japanose cabinet tonight awaited action by the prince regent on the joint resix- nation tendered by the Yamamoto ministry early today. Today's resignation was the sec- ond tendered by the cabinet within 48 hours, as an expression of humf!- jation at the attempt made by an assassin Thursday upon the life of Japan's ruler. It was reported late today that the joint resignation had been ac- cepted but official cusfirniation ap- parently was lacking. Should the resignations be ac- cepted, it was believed that Premier Yamamoto would be asked to form another cabinet with selection of the same ministers practically certain. The cabinet resignations are con- sidered merely a formality. Au acceptance, should it occur, woull be the same nature, it is believed. ee SCHOOLS FOR'BAKERS. OTTAWA, Ont.—(United Press.)— Canada’s first institute for baking will be opened next year at the Ontario College of Agriculture at Guelph. The Bread and Cake Makers’ association at its recent convention pledged $10,000 to found the school. The old school of ap- Pprenticeship in the baking trade is giving way to specialized training in schools devoted to baking. There are four full time schools for bakers in England and one in Scotland while in the United States there are @ number supported by national baking associations. U. 5.

The two work together in per- fect unison. Police are searching for the pair, with a meager description to follow, believing they may have been connected with a number of robberies, plying their trade in identically the manner Charles Dickens so vividly pictured with the boy Oliver.

With the new year, ‘the Y. W. C.

The board of directors he- lieves that the city is in greater need of a community center such as a Y. W.C. A. can promote than it is in need of food service. It is accordingly hoped that this change may be the beginning of a bigger contribution which may be made to the community by the Y. W. C.

The Young Women's Christian association as well as many other public institutions of Casper, has met the many vicissitudes incident to the handicaps of a city suffering with growing pains. The organ!- zation has not been able to expand as it otherwise would have and its general program is vague to many Y. W. C. A. ACTIVITIES people. To some, it is an employ- ment agency, to others it is # boarding home, a gymnasium, a swimming pool, educational classes, @ cafeteria, since it fosters these and other departments, which con- tribute to the welfare of young Women.
