BOY SCOUTS PLAN | 10 EXTEND SCOPE Patrol Leaders and Scontmasters’| School—More Troops Planned Considerable interest is being shown among boy scouts and scoutmasters in the city concerning the movement on foot to take up scouting as a serious study, not only among the boys, but also among the scoutmasters them- selves. % At the meeting Wednesday night, 28 boys enrolled to take up a course in patrol leaders. This is only a start towards improving scouting in New Britain. At the meeting last Wednesday the boys who expect to become « patrol leaders discussed the principles of the agout movement and how they are at- tained ,as well as the advantages of the movement. At the next meeting, Wednesday evening of next week, they will learn the general qualifications of a patrol leader, how he is chosen and what his duties consist of. Yesterday afternoon boys‘of Troop 2, who expect to become first-class scouts this winter met with theis scoutmaster, Frederick L. Fay to take up the study of first-class scouting. Their first lesson is signaling. The three systems of signalling will be used. The flag system was taken up first, whereby the boys will learn to transmit messages by wig-wagging, using the regulation red and white CONPLETE CURE - OF INDIGESTION Ooe Box of *Frakt Liver *FRUIT-A-TIVES” or Tablets” Brought Relief WILLIAM GALE SHEPHERD | 01d Chatham, Columbia Co.,N.

At dealers or from FRUIT-A-TIVES Limited, OGDENSBURG, N, ¥, By Marian Hale. New York, Oct. 20.—We hear a lot about the slip-on dress—it has been a popular fashion for some time. Now comes the slip-off! Evening gowns are showing a de- cided sliding effect when it comes to falling off the shoulder. An attractive evening gown of flesh pussy willow and satin, rchly em- broidered combines rare oriental suggestions with New York suggestivenass. Of course, when one has beautiful shoulders nothing could be more commanding than this gown. The skirt girdled with crystal beads is draped in graceful oriental folds. The gown falls off only one shoulder —fortunately. The gown on the right leaves the shoulders exposed. It is of indestruc- tible chiffon veile and velvet stripes. The sleeves are flowing and are caught merely at-the shoulder and elbow. flags. Following will be the Morse code systtm whereby the boys will learn sinalling in the six different ways the Morse code is used, such as the flag, the buzzer, the telegraph, the heliograph or mirror, the flashlight of blanket and fire, and the wireless. It is thought that during thegmore ad- vanced stages of the lesson: Mr. Fay will take his boys out into the woods some night and give them some prac- tical lessons in distance signalling. The blanket and fire method, popular among scout troops camping, is said o have been a favorite method under somewhat different circumstances and under their own.code with the In- dians. Next January, Mr. Fay, who in ad- dition to his work here, is conducting a school for scoutmasters of which he was the founder, in Boston, will com- plete his school there and open a sim- ilar one in New Britain under the local scout council. Plani Fo- Play. Plans are progressing rapidly to- wards the scout play, which. will be held in this city some timeiin the near future. The purpose of the play is to raise New Britain’s quota of -$25 to- ward§ keeping scouting alive in Pueb- 1p, Colorado, following the recent flood in that city which practically ruined the business men financially. No defi- nité date has been announced as vet for the play, but it is understood it will be some time in November. The cast, it is expected, will be of scouts who will demonstrate some of the more ¢ifficult and important phases ot scout work, showing parents and friends who are not familiar with the work the importance of life-saving, first aid, health maintenance, useful- ness and many other things empha- sized by tha scout rule book. Scout Executive Walter O. Cook is planning to change his policy some- what during the coming winter and branch out for more troops. There are 15 troops in the city now and Mr. Cook thinks there should be eight or 10 more. Prior to this winter it has been his policy to expand intensively instead of-extensively, in '6ther words he *has used his efforts to improve the standing of the troops and their stan- dards, rather than form more troops. This has been done to such an extent that every troop now has a large num- ber of first-class scouts. The enroll- ment of 28 boys who wish to become patrol leaders and through this to the higher office of scoutmaster, has led to a contemplated move towards organiz- ing additional troops. The scoutmas- ters’ school, to be opened next Janu- ary, offers opportunities to the aver- age man, not only how to handle boys and to train boy scouts, but also to make himself a more useful citizen, and will brovide leaders for the pro- posed new troops. | CITY ITEMS Victrolas and Pianos.

In the closing argument for the state, Solicitor Joseph R.,Tate argued that Ruth Gussman, Stephenson’s daughter, ws 18 years old and, there- fore, had the right to choose her re- I'gion for herself. He maintained that had the priest had hold of the de- fendants suspenders at the time of the shooting, as contended by the defense, they would have been so near each other that there would .have been powder burns on Father Coyle. Counsel for the defense said that “no man has the right to invade the home of another in an attempt to in- duce any member of that household to accept a new religion.” He con- tended that the mintster had labored under “an uncontrollable impulse,” and shot the priest, while temporarily insane.

LONDON HAS BEST | REGULATED TRAFFIC Paris Also Regarde& as Worst| in Exrope Cleveland, O., Oct. 22.—London is he best regulated city in Europe from a traffic standpoint and Paris probably is the worst, Edward May, police in- spector of Cleveland, reported upon his return from a trip through Euro- pean cities to inspect traffic condi- tions. Obedience of the English popu- lace to the police and the traffic rules and lack of obedience or regard by the French populace accounts for the dif- ference, he said Inspector May recommends abolish- ment of the present yearly automobile license plate and substitution there- fore of a perpetual license and urges much more stringent examinations for taxicab drivers. He also advocates raised safety zones in the middle of the streets, such as, used in many European cities, to protect the pedes- trian from automobiles. Under the system of abolishing the issuance of new license tags, Inspec- tor May said millions of dollars would be saved yearly. License fees would be collected annually as at present, but the license would be valid as long as the car is' used. An excellent system of licensing tax- ‘cab drivers is used in London, he said. Most of the drivers are mddle-aged The examinations for licenses are stringent and when a man gets one he is cautious to keep it. Few of the hauffeurs are mixed up in crimes. At one examination at which the in- spector attend=: = =aid one man ap- pered for the forty-ninth time and failed again. Men rarely pass the test the first time, he declared. Applicants for licenses in Manches- ter, England, must be almost athletes with a character next to perfect. ASSESSMENT MAPS NEARLY COMPLETED Started Four Years Ago and Wil!

The cost of compiling them will be in excess of $20,000. They were started about 4 years ago when George Quigley was mayor and num- ber 144.
