STORY OF INDIAN | S5ocer e, LIONS REVEALED 'l:'ransplanting of African £ Years Ago Of Unruly Eggs Explosion of Antiquated Variety Prevented by : Beasts New Device. Changed Species. Y Correspondence of The Star and New York : World. LONDON, December 10.—Despite the general idea that a sense of humor is lacking north of the Tweed, it has been left to a Scotsman to invent the ideal egg-opener. Regls- tered in the latest Patents Journal is the device of James Dallas of Cor- noustie, ¥orfarshire, which prevents a messy breakfast table. The invention comprises an “aper- tired piate, forming a guide for a nife, and having on one side an in- ned wing adapted to direct the ife downwardly on to the egg, and the other side an extension bent over to form a stop which arrests the | knife without damaging its edge. On the crown of this gadget “is pivoted a pin adapted to pierce the top of the egg and retain the portion cut oft.” James Dalias isn't taking any risks about egg-eaters steallng his brain for he has patented it all ways. So if you want to eat an egg tidily, get the Dallas contrivance, fit the ring swer the top of the egg, insert knife, the gulde and saw off the top without mess or “damaging the edge” ) the knife. if the cgg i tentfons, call nother ure th: he “pivoted pin™ n position to prevent the top com- | nx off too soon and disclosing the| contents Chreespondence of The Star and New York World.

DECEMBER I BOY SCOUTS l Gold honor medals for life saving. the highest award in the power of the Boy Scout movement to bestow, were recently granted by the national court of honor to seven scouts, who, at the peril of their own lives, suc- ceeded in rescuing others; or, as in ore case, died in the attempt. This medal & bestowed only after careful investigation and only for excep- tional courage and self-sacrifice. Those who recelved it were Markle Hougendobler and Lawrence Drum, both of Milton, Pa.; John J. Schoff of Dayton, Ohio; Joseph Link of Free- port, Ohlo; Cheater Meister (deceased) and George Griffith, both of Chicago, 111, and Stewart Melgs of Santa Bar- bara, Calif. Chester Meister lost his life in the attompt he and George Griffith made to rescue three boys who had dis- regarded instructions and broken through thin ice In the forest pre- serve near Chicago. Grifith saved two of the lads and the third was able to save himself. Melster broke through in trying to reach the struggling boys and never came up. To develop an early “air” sense among British boys, states a London news dispatch, it is planned to form an Air Boy Scouts organization. The Scouts are to handle and look after the machines on the ground, listen to ctical lectures by experts and be associated with the fiyers. Advancement iIn scouting Is more rapid now than at any time previ- ously this year, and probably than ever before in the history of the Washington Council. An investiture eervice for all who pass from tender- foot to second class, or from second class to first between December 1 and anniversary meeting at Central High School in February is now be ing planned. It receive grade. The Community Center organization has asked for the co-operation of Scouts for the ceremony in connac- tion with the turning on of the lights of the national community Christm: tree, to be held just south of the Treasury on Christmas eve. President Coolidge will come from the White House to the tree to turn the switch that will flluminate it, and Scouts will form a line through which he will march, and will also circle the tree to credit for an advance in keep back the crowds that are expected. | Upward of a hundred older Scouts Monday, December 29, assist census of the num- of automobiles that pass certain cnated corners in Two periods of one hour each will be used, from 10 to 11 In the morn- ing. and from 3 to 4 in the afternoon At a meeting of the Council of Sachems of the Camp Roosevelt Hon- be last weck Scoutmaster John | ected permanent chair- uncil also nominated 12 nd-degree C.

Most interesting of the events was the horse-and-rider contest between Richard Sargent and Willam Biggs of Troop 44 and John B. Richardson | and John McCain of Troop 42. Thel team from 44 won after a hard strug- gle. Three other events included a “shooting-gallery” contest, won by Troop 44; “capturing the trench,” in which Troop 42 was victor, and a tug-of-war, in which so much strength was exerted that the rope broke and the event was called a draw. Deputy Commissioner E. L. Mattice and Assistant Deputy Com- | mizsioner F. E. Matthes were among | the judges. Troop 20, of Epworth M. E. Church, entertained parents and friends of the Scouts with an investiture ceremony | and an excellent Scout play, directed | by Scoutmaster Worth E. Shoults, last Friday evening. Scouts Gilbert Wilde and Edmund Fakes gave several! violin selections, assisted by Miss | Julia Cauthen of Scout headquarters at the piano. | Troop 63, of the Calvary Baptist Church, also held an investiture cere- | mony, in the presence of a large number of friends of the troop. After | the ceremony Scoutmaster J. W. Talley gave & lantern talk, using slides {llustrating various activities and adventures of the troop during the past year. Especially interesting were some of the: experiences of the | troop at the Wilson Reservation and | while camping at Black Pond.
