THE UNKNOWN SCOUT "- At the recent annual meeting of the Boy Scouts of America, in Washington, a. bronze buf- falo medal was awarded to “The Unknown Scout.” The inspiration of this award was an unknown Boy Scout in London, who may be living today. This, briefly, is the story: 3 Some years ago, William D. Boyce,’ a Chicggo publisher, lost his way in a London fog. A young lad, noting his embarrassment, approached him and briskly saluting said: ‘May I be of service to you,” Mr. Boyce iquired the way to his destination and the lad showed him the way.- Reaching the place, Mr. Beyce offered the boy a shilling for his service, but the boy said: “I am a Scout; and Scouts do not accept tips for courtesies.” Mr, Boyce was interested and impressed. He asked about the Scouts. His young friend took him to the offiee of Sir Robert Baden-Powell, | founder of the movement, and as a result when Mr. Boyce later sailed for home he brought a trunk full of literature pertaining to scouting. Then he started the Boy Scout movement in America, with the aid of others who recognised the value of such training ag it affords. The medal awarded to “The Unknown’ Scout,” |- who befriended Mr. Boyce and thus caused the spread of scouting to America, was presented to the International Scout Bureau in London, ‘where it will be kept as a permanent memorial. _it is in- scribed as follows: “To the Unknown Scout, whose faithfulness in the performance of the Daily Good Turn brought the Scout movement to the United States of America.” Perhaps never has a simple act of kindness. ‘brought forth greater: or more beneficial results than that performed by this unknown London Boy Scout. ACHIEVEMENTS OF AGES Prqbably the developments of recent years have far exceeded the forecasts that the prophets of 50 to 100 years ago used to nifke. They could hardly have believed that we would now have a population rising far above the hundred million mark, or that one of our cities would greatly ex- ceed the population of the entire country at that time, or that boundless regions once tenanted only by Indians and wild animals, would now be -pop- ulous and prosperous states fully equipped with the machinery of modern civilization. é They would never have dreamed of. our scientific achievement, and how modern technical skill would create self propelled machines by which the average family could transport itself about, the country at a high rate! ofiapeed, oT j taillio) . of letters would be ea Across | iy acts mt’ monthly by mail services operating int the air. So now as we look ahead and make glowing predictions of America’s future, we probably have little idea of the triumphs in the field of me- chanical progress, and still more remarkable as re- spects social and educational conditions and hu- man welfare. The people of those times will no “| doubt look back to our boasted civilization, and consider it a crude and meager form of develop- ment, and they will be thankful they were not here in these primitive times. 4 p HOME WORK SWINDLERS Last week the Post Office Department issued a fraud order barring from the mails all matter addressed to or coming from~ jseveral concerns which advertise for persons to address envelopes and mail circulars at home. A sample advertise- ment of one of these swindling concerns is as fol- lows: “Ladies wanting home work, any kind, spare, time, write, inclose stamp. Eller Company, V-296, Broadway, New York.” 2 ; Those who replied to such advertisements were usually required to pay certain sums, from 50 cents to $3, for “directories,” “outfits,” or some similar equipment, before starting to work, Then the conditions under which the work was to be done were found to be such that few made any further | effort to engage in it. The swindlers made their money from the | small sums sent for the “outfits,” and from orders | for worthless jewelry and the like. Hundreds of women in need of employment made sacrifices to send these small amounts, only to suffer disap- | pointment through losing theit money and failing | to secure the remunerative work which they had been led to expect. It is hard to imagine a more contemptible or heartless swindling scheme than this, as it preys | entirely upon the poor and unfortunate who can least afford to lose the money thus fraudulently secured from them. Some are too cowardly to pull up the anchor and face the open sea. You ¢an't make progress when you drag the anchor. The flukes will hold somewhere and you'll rock idly in a placid haven. Storm or no storm, turn toward the boundiess deep. That's infinitely better than the esaseless and uv changing harbor. With all his versatility, the Prince of Wale hasn't sung in a single eisteddfod this year. eecesseoe WASHINGTON“ /42 LETTER P’x4 BY CHARLES P.

Republican majority in the house of representatives is large enough to permit considerable losses and still remain a majority, but in the Senate it can be very easily wiped out, The present session of Congress opened with 56 Republican senators, 39.
