T- BOY • SCOUTS (Conduoled by National Council of th* Hot Scow!■ of America.) SCOUTS CHEER DYING LAD — “Somewhere on Long Island, N. Y« a autail boy, three and one-half year* old, with an enlarged heart and a short existence before him—unless miraclesstill do happen- la clinging to life be I cause <>f the boy a- onta.” say* the Long Island Press In an account of a good I turn by local ficout*. "Were It not for the inspiration and the example probably the short life would hat* been shorter, and a home emptier than It la now. "The lad Is the son of Mrs, M J. Stockdale, 12 Van Wyck avenue. Rich mend Hill,” continues the story. "It Is the verdict of a number of doctors that he cannot lied to grow up he- Suae of an enlarged heart, and other complications which have since set in. The tragic tale became known throngh a letter written by Mrs Stockdale to ; a Now York newspaper, in which she asked that a delegation of hoy acoiita come to visit hdr boy. ‘•The letter was passed on to Chief ; Scout Executive James F. Went, and in time reached thj desk <>f C. A. Ivorden. scout executive of Queens Ror- , ough, L. I. The matter wag turned 1 over to Scoutmaster Arthur D. Oliver, i Troop IS, Jamaica, L. I. “The affair was attended to In the : usual boy scout wav, and after Scoutmaster Oliver had made hl. Investlga 1 tlons of the matter, the aconte begun 1 to come to make life more hearable for the little lad who may never, except I tn his Imagination, don a Scout unlI form. “ 'I don't know what we would have ' -lone without the hoy scouts.' said | Mrs. Stockdale, who Is the nmther of • two other boys besides little Robert, ‘ who Is generally called 'Sonny.' They I have come aga'n and again, and they ' brighten my hoy’s life up so mneh. | They brought him a hoy smut hand--1 book, and every night he sleeps with -It under b.ls plliow. They cmne to | lunch one day and T had a cake for them and everything. They are such fine boys. “•One of the scout*, whose name la Michael, stops In every time he passeg, and he brings things with him same J times—a box of candy and other I thing®. Seven doctors have said that ;my Utile boy cannot ever grow up. I but 1 am hoping that some other doc- ! tor or surgeon may hear of ft and come ' to sulk him for us.' "if nie glories of boy acoutdoan. jamborees nnd camping," concludes the Press, •‘are ever the portion of the little Ind, much of the credit will be duo to the hoys of Troop 15. Jamaica I’-oy Scouts of Ameri- a. Should the grim I renper win the victory, It I* probable ' that little Sonny's last thought will be a visual last ion of the scout badge and uniform and the dally good turn d-'tm him by hl* young friends.” SCOUTMASTER SCORES HIGH A prize of a S2OU gold watch and a compliment to the scout way nf doing things were the results of the entry of Scoutmaster George B Dunn of Seattle, Wash.. In the gI.UUU amateur men cook*' contest recently conducted by the Seattle Time*. Scoutmaster Dunn, who four years ago when he entered scouting "didn't know bow to boll water," competed in the contest with timber cruisers mountaineers, prospectors, huntsmen, fishermen, and other out-of doors men, for the best cgtiip dinner. Hl* score was per cent. ' The menu c.mststed of thicken, sweet corn an-l potatoes, cooked according to the Hawaiian • Kmn" atyle. which method haa been carefully retained and taught In *out circles everywhere; the second part of the mealapple amice, blaeulta and coffee wa* prepared by means of a refle<-tor oven.
