SCOUTI

PROGRAM CHEEREi Boy-Scout in lf thp bis Ihfmo thesp ys in East Chicngo. Last nijsht at the Lyric theatre, a crowded house, compoeed of adult only, sftt for two hours in a Boy SV.uit j-n-.-jriiru. hi-h wai roundly cheered. This program consisted rf several fr'nger talks by C. H Tru.'. chairman rf the industrial section: II. I". Jnokon, president of the oouivil: Kov. Elmer Jones, pastor of the Methodist church, Indiana Harbor: Mayor Hod&es r' Gary: Mayor McCormaok of East Chicacro and others. These talks werinterspersed with stunts furnished by the boys from tror.j-s in Hammond under the command of Scout Commiseion lr. Shanklin and Scout Ex ecu t!ve, Harris. Then Field Commissioner Weston showed a number of slides Illustrating some Boy Scout activities in which he participated In Madison, M'iconsiti. Then came the movie, "The Boy h fried Wolf." One. of the stunts which the Ham mond hoys pulled off was that of kivinT first aid to a lad who slipped on .1 banana peel and sprained or broke his ankle. These boys p'tch a camp, talk with each other by wift-wag signals, build fires without matches and do a hundred other thinsrs exciting ttoo man as well as to the boy. It probably may be said that every boy, every camper, every normal man has l is moments when he would give all i t clvillaation and lta wondem to be back in the woods and the wilds for a day. a sinele happy day and when he cherishes bacVt in his sout ths un.ittained ambition erf mak'.r.y a fire, Indian fashion, as these boys are able to do. rurln the evenlne the thought was thought was brought out that ScoutIns aims to break down every imaginary barrier of sect and caste and eve,ry opposition that has been based tr. the mistaken notion that the movement had to do with military training of the yoimg". As Field Commissioner Weston said. "It is something much broader and bigger than that. It is petting at the boy on his own ground, setting him to do the things he ardently wants to do. but in our cities with their twisted serial conditions, he doesn't know to do. "Eve" boy has In him a little savage ana a potential good citizen. The question is which is to get the upper grip; upon that depends what kind c f a man he is going to be He would rather be good than bad. ail thinrgs beig even But they are not even Give im the street and the gutter for a playground, rob him of his play, and he Joins the gang and learns the lessons that do not lead to respect for authority or property. Yet in the gang he will yield to that respect to the boy whi Is bolder and abler than the rest, who is flt to lead. The savage has come uppermost, and he lives the law -rf the Jungle. Put before him the other alternative, and he will adopt the Pout law to be dutiful, obedient, helpful, clean, with the same enthusiasm. They really start from the same point; it ia the way they wbrk out that makes the difference. Is he to kill wans or vultures when he is a man? Everything depends on the guide-post where the roads fork" The promoters of the movement In East Chicago this morning expressed themselves as very grateful to the mayor of Gary and to the men and boys from Hammond who so kindly and generously helped last evening to make the program a success. Everyone not present missed a golden opportunity. SOLDIER KILLED War Department Gives Information Regarding Another Hero. Among the casualties reported by the war department is Ptizo Tsrapros, Indiana Harbor, but so far inquiry has failed to ftnd his address oX obtain any information as to the whereabouts of his nearest frrlends or relatives. There is a restauranteur in East Chicago named Tsarious for whose name :t was thought the decedent's name might have been mistaken but Mr. Tsarious says he has no knowledge of the matter. NEW ENTERTAINMENT IT ARROW HESO INN Colosimo's Arrow Head Inn at Burnham has gone in for Rigolletto. Don Pasquale, II Quaraney and Madam Butterfly in addition to "When the Cows Come Heme" and "Kattie."

HURT East Chicago Fire Wagon Has Accident While Returning from Rescue. An accident that might have proved much more disastrous than it was occurred last night in East Chicago when

Captain Ivter Stirling of the police department and Walter Kmiec of the fire department were returning to the city hall from the scene of the drowning on ICilst street at the ranal. The officers were in the fire chief's red runabout and Just as they turned the corner off of 151st street onto Forsyth avenue the automobile turned turtle, spilling the o.-eufnnts to the ground and pinning Kmiec under the broken car. Captain Stirling was thrown clear of the wreckage and though bruised and shaken up was uble to help Kmiec x-trieat-? himself Horn his painful position. The car was badly broken and will be out of scrice until rebuilt. Kmiec was badly bruised about the head nnd face but both men ar? on duty today.

,0! SWIMS. IS DROWNED BODY FOUND Another drowning fatality saddens a ( heme in East Chicago today. Yesterday afternoon, while a group of boys were swimming in the canal Just south of the loli-t street bridge. Joe Csalrios, twelve years of age. son of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Oaldos, 5004 Alexander aunup, where they run a f-rr.all grocery and market. In some way lost his footing, slipped under the dark waters and disappeared from the sight of his playmates. The lads were panto sfrlcken nnd wr.tched intently with bated breath for their comrade to reappear. In a few minutes, one of the party saw his arm thrown out wild'y Just above the surface about twenty feet north of the bridge where the current had evidently carried him. Then the water again closed above their victim. The police were immediately notified and the boys were there in a twinkling. Bt:t they had no equipment, no boat, no adequate grappling hocks, nothing practically to give quick service in this dire emergency. They hurried after a boat, got together such implements as they could find and began the gruesome search. Darkness came and the body had not been found. Is not our city, with its wealth of business blocks, valuable realty and large manufacturing establishments, able to furnish the police department with equipment for first aid service of this kind? Not a summer passes but that fatalities of this nature are sure to occur. Less than a year ago, a lungmotor was purchased. But is this all that is needed by a city surrounded by water on every hand? IATER The body was recovered fiofi feet north of the llst street bridge near the I. I.. R. plant about ten o'clock this morning.

The company was working on the decks of a hie f rieghter in San P;ego harbor, and as the action calls for a double identity situation, the director purposely kept the man's back to the camera. A small bo.t had been dispatched for a second player and the actor in question got. the idea that his wco-lc was not satisfactory and that a substitute had been sent for. When, in the development of the story the idea was revealed, a much relieved player conf.ded to Mr M'lls hl.i fear thdt he was Using out, when in an entire morning' i oi k, he had not been permitted to show his fae to the foreground.
