SCOUTS
{CoBdooted by National Council of the Bof
Scouts of America.) ^
MAKE GOOD SEA SCOUTS
Ship ahoy! The boy scout move
ment has extended its activities to the
sea. It is not only navigating blind
trails through the deep woods but also
navigating the trailless deep of the
ocean itself. Instead of studying the
use of an ax, the scouts are learning
what a marlln-splke is and how to han
dle It with the deftness of an old-time
salt water tar; instead of overnight
hikes, they are planning overnight
cruises in boats loaned for the purpose
by the United States Navy department.
The seascouting department of the
Boy Scouts of America is fast getting
to be an important and a most pictur
esque phase of the work which is
more and more attracting the spirit
of adventure whicii is in all boys.
To be eligible for this organization,
boys have to be a little older and a
little heavier than for the land work.
They must be fifteen years or over
and must weigii at least 112 pounds.
There are three national sea scout
camp.9 in the United States: Marion,
Mass.. Chicago, 111., and Portland, Ore.
The largest camp, that at Marion,
Mass., on the grounds of Tabor
academy on Buzzards bay, accom
modates 100 boys. Here, as in the
other camps, the scouts will be given
an intensive drill of from two to four
weeks, with cruises along shore in
various kinds of boats, thorough train
ing in every kind of swimming and
life saving, and other forms of “real
salt water stuff.” Acting chief seascout
of the Boy Scouts of AmericiT Capt.
W. Huston Llllard, will be in personal
charge. j
The tliree national sea scout camps ,
are under the' management and
superA’ision of the national sea scout i
committee, of which Gen. George W.
Goethals is chairman, and Admiral
William S. Sims, Messrs. Charles M.
Schwab, Arthur H. Wood, and Com
modore W. E. I^ngfellow are mem
bers and James A. Wilder, chief sea
scout Is secretary. The camps will
bave the hearty co-operation of the
chief scout executive, .Tames E. West,
the director of the department of
camping, L. L. McDonald, the director
of the department of education, L.
W. Barclay, as well as all of the other
riflicials of the Boy Scouts of America.

MILWAUKEE SCOUT'S GOOD TURN
Here is a Milwaukee scout’s report
of a recent good turn: “While going
to school I saw a crowd gather. I
ran to the place and saw a bulldog
had been run over by a automobile.
The dog's eyes bulged from hi*! head
and his muscles were stiftening with
coming death. He was lying on his
back. I kneeled over him, forced
open his mouth, pulled out his tongue,
placed a pencil across his month and
let his jaws close. This kept his
tongue from falling back into his
throat and kept his mouth open. I
then applied the Schaeffer method of
resuscitation. After 15 minutes of
artificial respiration the dog began to
show signs of life. The eyes no long
er bulged and his heart beat normal
ly. About 15 minutes later I stopped
and again the dog breathed alone, but
seemed unable to rise. After exami
nation I found the backbone out of
place. With the aid of another boy
I snapped the vertebrae back into
place. W* then carried the dog to the
basement of a nearby store and cov
ered him up. After school I stopped
in and found he would recover. I had
been 25 minutes late for school.”

SCOUTING TAMES WILD LADS
One scout troop lists among its good
turns “Tinning three wild lads.”
Tiiis tiijop made assets of three boys
of widely dilTerent types who had
proved liabilities to themselves and
scKJUting. Here is the story:
“Boy Number One—was said to be
ijbsolutely untam^able. His parents
liad lost control. He was slack, un-
;rutiiful, rebellious and downright
mean. Twice he drew suspensions
from the trooi) for escapades. We allow
tliree chunces. He took the third. We
'aid goodfby. After watching the troop
from the outside for tiiiree months, he
applied for reinstatement. His ap-
niiciition was referred to the boys.
They ^greed to admit Kim on trial.
l^K‘i*e has been such a groiit improve
ment in his general conduct and out
look on life, that he is often pointed
out as an example of good scouting.
“Boy Number Two—came from a
prosperous home. He becamfv a patrol
leader. At a critical age he began
indtiiting older boys of doubtful
iiabits, and started drifting. With a
totally unexpected bang he was re
duced to the ranks. The next night
his entire patrol formed a committee
to walk two miles to the S. M.'s home
and plead his case. He was ‘paroled’
to them. After two weeks the S. M.
hnrkened to persistent persuasion and
made the boy acting P. L. imder
(»hserv’ation. Four months have
passed and it looks as though this P.
L, is to be our next senior patrol
leader. He’s cured of wildness.
“Boy Number Three—is still in the
scout hospital, but is sure to recover.
He was a spoiled darling. Anytliing
his little heart desired, lie got—but
there was no discipline in his life.
Our uniform attracted him; our hai'd
work repelled him. He was as dt^-
structive as a boy could be, and ther«»
was no laziness in him when it came
to rascality. School teachers found
him hopeless; so did we and he was
deprived of his scout badge. This was p.
novel experience and somewhat shock
ing to him. He swaggered around and
sjiid he didn’t c^re—but he did. Thei:
he reached t*ie surprising (to him)
conclusion tfiHt he was on the wrons
track. He has applied three times for
i-einstatement but the boys feel he will
stand a little more treatment. Cer
tainly he has lost his former ambition
to destroy everything breakable; ho
has acquired some courtesy; he says
he is willing to work. Probably in
three or four months the boys will
take him in again, thoroughly tamed."

HERO MEDAL FOR' LIFE-SAVINC
Because of trainiiig In swimmin
and life-saving, Robert Bennet o
Kalamazoo, Mich., was able in spite of
desperate odds, to save William Ou'l
iiig from drowning in White lake lH^■
summer. Bennet succeeded in brim-,
ing Oudlng’s body to the surface. bi;i
the drowning boy locked his ann^
around the rescuer and both won
down. At the bottom Bennet bro’-
the other’s hold and returned to t]
surface. Diving a second time 1 •
obtained the proper hold, returned t<
the surface with Ouding, safely In hi -
arms and swam single-handed to tht^
shore. A heio’s me(!al. authorized \k

By WILLIAM A. RADFORD
Itr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertalnins to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
Is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subject!. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie

Merchants tell us that there are two
types of buyers. The “basement buy
er” who makes his purchases on a
price appeal only and the “upstairs
buyer” who is less Influenced by price
than he is by quality.
Home builders, too, seem to classify
in much the same manner. There are
many who recVor r- -' . or; t^e-
termining factor in t le kind of home
they wish to build. And there Is an-
otlier large market which is more con
cerned with quality and who are con
vinced that quality constraction Is the
best answer to the price questii/n.
Those whc wish to build a hv -ae of
better than average durability and of
jn'onoun.ed pleasing appearance will
be immediately Interes.-d in the de
sign i'hown here. Its style is that
i:no\vp as the Dutch ColorWl, one of
the best knowm and most favored
types of architecture In current prac-
he. The element of econom.v in the
square or rectangular shaped house Is
vveil known. It costs less to build a
D^u'.se of that general layout than of
ioi\ fancifully conceived floor plans.
' Sru<’co, or concrete, la the main wail
;n.U!»riaI. The advantages which the
haHder enjoys with tlie use of this
nmterlal are, chiefly “long life, free-
d;*m from exces-slve and freouently
recurring repair bills, proof against
n> '!§ture and proof against fro*5t.”
These features are Individually im
portant and collectively constitute an
impressive case for this type of ctto-
struction. Of, course the initial invest
ment is greater, but reckonef' over 7i
torni cf ;.-ea.’J? It Ip cheaper as well as
b#»tter to vse durable constnic*»’oji.
Among the interesting exterio*’ feat-
aw« aie tli* roof ahn seCi>nd-stofy
window treatroent which Is character
istic of Dutch Colonial types, the en
trance and the open sun porch. Lat
ticework adds a touch of delicacy to-
entrance and porch and relieves the-
rather massive lines and any severity
associated with the major materials
used.
.Tust a glance through the l&terlor
will increase admiration for this home.
It is roomy, well planned and suitable
for every need that a home should
meet. The usual combination of living
room, dining room and kitchen occupie.<i
the first floor. The living room Is
notable for its size, th6 dimensions
being 13 by 23 feet, A fireplace adds
that homy touch. It opens onto the
sun porch which Is of generous size
and well located at the side of the
house.
All of the sleeping ftccommodationa
are above stairs. There are thr«e bed
rooms, one of unusually great
size and which has the added ad
vantage of a comfy alcove. All of the
bedrooms have handy closets and are
well located In relation to the bath
room.
While local conditloits vary and def
inite estimates should be had from
your dealer, it is generally true that
thiii design may be followed without
excessive cost.

morring .a Ka a rdf port, iour miles
north of Btckiieli, and left on a motor
excu’>-i«;n fo* the “government locks’*
near ilount Cunnel, on the Wabash,
not one of the happy party thought
about hesitating on account of. the
number. However, before the day was
over ^very member of the party figured
that Charles Adams was No. 13.
They had a fine tln'e on the banka
of thp Wabash. P«>i Iiaps the most
amusing thing occurre:i at noon whea
they were preparing eat. The flies
and chickens were of a familiar na
ture, and it became necessary to ap
point guard to keep the hun^y flock
from iiiaking a mess of things.
Mr. Adams is an accommodating fel
low and immediately assumed the du
ties of chief. With a club in each
hand he stoinl op guard. Charley’s
legs were spread as far apart as he
could get them,'and a foot (a big foot,
too) was on each side o^ the spread.
While his mouth was ^aterin^ and
his eyes looking everywhere at once,
he failed to see an old jrooster
himself to a dellclons i|Iece of pie.
Charley did sto, one big ^ foot
went right after that ol^ emblem of
the Democratic party and it wer a
little too fdr. for Charley Immediately
became overbahficed and sat down
