Here's Some Boy Scout Facts for Older Folk to Read and Remember

Hammond has 17 Boy Scout troop. The Scouts number between our and Ave hundred. Over a hundred toys have Joined the Boy Scouts and passed their Tenderfoot Test since January 1st. During; the last two years over 625 different bojls liave received scout training In Hammond. During the last five months the toys ef Hammond have rendered ov er 1,000 hears of public service, or in other, words, they have done thing's for the community for that length of time for which they have received no financial compensation. A. record is kept of the public service rendered by scouts injthe different troops. One of the first tests a boy takes is to Vurn in a report of the good turns he has done In the past two weeks. Scout training teaches a boy to be unselfish. LEADERSHIP In charge of Hammond - troops, there are over it volunteer men lead ers. These men are chosen by a committee of mn who are responsible for the welfare of each troop. These scoutmasters give on the average of one night each week the year around for which they receive no financial reward. It would be Impossible to secure leaders who would grive up their time so willing ly if theydid not see the definite good which scouting- does to the boys of the community. More troops can be organized as fast as suitable meeting places and proper leadership are provided. The outdoor program in scouting is the thing that appeals to the boys the most. During the last five months, the over-nig3vt . cabin at Wicker has been used by troops for over thirty different nights, averaging from twelve to fourteen boys per night. On these hikes the boys made their own beds, did their own cooking and did all other work themselves. All of these boys hiked the six miles to and from the cabin. . Iany tests in fire building, cooking, tracking, nature study, and pioneering were passed while at the cabin. No troop is allowed to use the cabin without responsible Jeaderahlp. The cabin Is heated by a flre-placa which will take a six foot log, and by an old fashioned barrel stove. SCOf TS WW BrOHES' PRAISI1 Secretary of State Hughes has per fonally written to the Boy gcouts of America In praise of work of Boy Scouts In connection with the Conference on limitation and Armament. Marines had been station-! ed about the conference chamber j and corridors as guide and aides

and a leading delegate from a foreign country called attention to the Inapproprlateness of armed men at such a conference, and suggested that Boy Scouts, If available, would be the appropriate appointees for uca work. The Idea met with prompt favor en the part of Secretary Hughe and members of the American delegation and the conference. Boy Scouts of "Was&lngten were Invited to furnish members

for this Important work, and thereafter until the close of the conference were familiar and welcome figures to all the delegates and callers trurcmghout the fcesslors. Their work won constant praise and the Secretary of State has written to the Boy Scouts of America saying; "The Boy Scouts rendered valuable assistance during the sessions of the conference on the Limitation Armament arid I take this opportunity of expressing to them ray sincere appreciation of their willingness to help and of the efficient service which they have given.' "SAFETY FIRST" FOR TREES AMD BIRDS. "Safety First" is going to be applied to trees and wild flowers. It used to be our thoughtless custom to stroll across a railroad track, oblivious to an approaching express train, until the "Stop, Look. Listen" signs began to dot the landscape. The same idea will be introduced Into national parks aid everywhere that folks wander for a week-end rest, excepting the seashore. The ocean waves and the sands of the 'beach must look out for themselves. But the trees, the wild flowers, and the birds are to be shielded by the "Safety First" signs from the thoughtless vandalism of the public. The thing la to find a "Safety (First' sign or emblem or a word that will Instantly remind us of our duty to preserve Nature's gift from Injury. "We want to keep Old Mother Nature smiling. Everyone likes her better that way. Why hurt her or make her angry by destroying what she has produced for our pleasure and needs? Naturally, Boy Scouts are giving leadership to this Idea. Something was done about it at the annual meeting of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America which was held at Chicago, March JSth and 30th. But In any case, scouts from all over the country, will sus gest "Safety. First" signs to be put about parks and forests and wher

ever tourists go. Scouts are going in strong for nature study and are determined to do their part In this

protective movement. The gen

eral public Is urged to back up the idea, particularly toy exercising the

self-restraint when roaming thru

the tfields and woods, and keep nature smiling by enjoying her gifts

without Injuring- them.

Mash, saving water for soup, Kemove celery leaves and add milk to desired consistency. Re-heat and add two tablespoons butter, salt, pepper and tablespoon tomato ketchup. Fresh Vegetable Salad In preparing this salad consisting of cabbage, carrots, celery, onions and green peppers, you will find grandmother's wooden chopping bowl and knife better than the modern food chopper. The ingredients, when chopped, are mixed with boiled salad dressing and served on lettuce. Broiled White Fish Select medium sixed white fish. Remove scales by running knife from tail to head. Split fish so it will lie flat. Place in greased broiler. When done, place In hot platter and serve with drawn butter sauce if desired. Garnish. LAUNDRY SUGGESTIONS "If Monday only came twice a

week," sighed the young housewife, "the problem of washing clothes would be so much easier." Doubtless there are many households where two Mondays a week would be an advantage. Possibly you might call this arrangement a week with two half Mondays. The Woman who has hid to assume the burden of doing her own washing or assisting with it finds this a good arrangement, and it is much easier to devote two hours twice a week to this work than four, hours once a week. Then in families where there are small children it is often really necessary to make a fairly limited supply of clothes answer the purpose of perfect cleanliness to wash more often than once a week. Suppose then that you make this arrangement: Have all the bedding changed Saturday or Sunday and have bedding part . of Monday's washing. With this might b towels that can be washed directly after bedding. These things never need any starch, but they do usually want to be boiled and blued. On Monday you might also And time for handkerchiefs, which could follow the bedding and for flannels, which should always be done in a separate water with special attention to the soap used. On Wednesday or Thursday table linen could go to the wash. Being linen these things may be made spotless usually without boiling. But many-persons use a suspicion of starch. Frocks and all colored clothes could be washed on this day, and they, too, may be given a very little starch. If you like, however, you may make your division so that onlyclothes that need no ironing, such as flannels, underclothes, wash cloths and bath towels should be washed on the midweek washday, while clothes needing ironing should be put through on Monday in time for Tuesday s ironing, j
