Ardor Not Dampened In Meeting Says the Scout Scribe Ross Clad only In the uniforms which Nature supplied them, Troop 5, Boy Scouts of America, held a real back-to-naturo meeting Monday afternoon, In the swimming pool at the Y. M. C. A. It was a most unusual meeting in many ways. Standing neck deep in the water Scoutmaster Wilson called the meeting to order. The minutes were read by the troop scribe and en the motion for their adoption all in favor were directed to "duck." Two seconds later, the entiro troop, including the scoutmaster, had disappeared under the wa

ter. They reappeared presently,

puffing and blowing. From that time on there was not a dull minute in the entire meeting. Scoutmaster Wilson had but recently returned from Lake Geneva, where he took a course in life-saving in the water, and he proceeded to share his knowledge with the members of the troop. The boys were shown tho best methods of breaking various holds of drowning persons and of supporting them in the water until help arrives, or of towing them to land. The Scouts took great interest in these demonstrations and spent the greater part of an hour practicing them upon each other. All of the members can swim, some of them very well. Scoutmaster Wilson is a regular merman. He came frorr Australia some six

years ago and since the demonstration in the pool Monday, some of the boys are wondering if he didn't swim to America. The latter part of the meeting was spent in water games. Scout Scribe, J. Ronald Ross.

BYRON BOND MAKES SKETCH OF RELATIVE OF INDIANA AUTHOR

Down underneath Niagara Falls the day after the man tried to go go over them in a barrel, was Byron Bond, who lives at 211 North Eighth street, and who has just returned from an extended automobile trip in various interesting places in New York and northern Indiana and Ohio. This trip furnished Byron with several ideas for sketches. There are pictures of the great falls themselves, which he is going to copy, and pictures representing old Indian legends which are told" about Niagara river and Niagara Falls. Sketched Grand-daughter of WellKnown Authoress. While camping for a week at Rome City, Indiana, Byron and his brother Findlay became acquainted with Jeannette Monroe, the little

right-year-old granddaughter of the well known and well-liked authoress. Gene Stratton Porter. While she was in the Bond cottage one day, Byron sketched her. The sketch is in the rough, now, but is soon to be completed. Besides drawing cartoons and sketching with pen and ink and pastels, Byron is interested in modeling. He has done some modeling of vases in brown clay, and has now secured some gray river clay which he i3 getting in workable condition. He is planning to model hi brother's head in the clay, providing Finlay will sit still long enough. Have a "Chem. Lab." in the Attic If you want to find out some things about chemistry, go to the laboratory of Bond and Surrendorf. The way to it, is "up a winding stair." A light and conveniently fitted out laboratory has been installed by Byron, and Charles Surrendorf, in one Corner of the attic of the Bond home. Chlorine gas is only one of the dangerous things that has been made in this laboratory. The boys expect to set up an extended wireless outfit in their yard in the near future.

CHARLES KLUS TELLS STORY OF HIS HOME CITY, BREST, FRANCE

Muncie, Ind., Aug. 1, 1920. My dear Aunt Polly: 1 am writing a letter to tell you how I am. I am well bow and I hope you are the same. 1 am working up at tho Emlngray glass factory and I am working at night. I am making f 17 a week . That's pretty good. I am going to tell you a story of my own town, over in Brest, Franco. History of Brest, France. Brest, a fortified town of 90,540 inhabitants. The exact beginning of the city and origin of its name have not been discovered. The Romans established a military post and a fortress, they know; the tower existed in the IV century and belonged to tho counts of Leon. One of them, named Even, dispersed the Saxon pirates who came to pillage another man named Marvan, who Btarted the first chateau. The town did not begin to play an important role till the thirteenth century. Spaniards Besiege in Vain. In 1342, the King of England, Edward III, took Brest, and garrisoned it. Bugestchlin tried in vain to deliver the town, which was not given back to France till a half century later, in 1397. During Uie wars Brittainy waged for indeendence, the Duchess Anne called the English to assist the buffer

army of the king. The king held Brest and only by the marriage of Anne and the King, Charles XIII, on December 19, M91, did the war end. During the wars, the Spaniards besieged Brest without success. In 1531, Richelieu commenced the serious development of the port and arsenal. Colbert and Duquesne and their assistant, Vauban, after having repulsed an attack made by 92 British and Dutch vessels, erected new fortifications. During the fourteenth century, Brest continued to develop and to strengthen her defences. The inventor, Dayot, worked them and planned at the same time the promenade that bears his name. The city adopted these with ardor. Revolutionary ideas and administrators of new departments came in 1790. Finistere was forced to maintain with depleted forces a fleet strong enough to hold the sea. The viceadmiral, Villaret, engaged in combat, the English fleet, in which battle the "Vengeance" distinguished herself by heroic action. But at the same time, Brest was witnessing a tribunal of blood operating within her walls. The 20 administrators of Finistere, who were of the Girondist party, were executed on the same day as suspects. Excuse ray writing. Good-bye. Yours very truly, CHARLES L. KLUS.
