NEW BRANCHES OF SCOUTING.
Thirteen Rome (N. V.) scouts
recently organized themselves Into an
Archery club, making bows and ar
rows for themselves. I hie of the most
striking scout displays in connection
with a sportsman show in New York
was an archery demonstration given
by a Manhattan troop, with old
English yew bows. Archery is a fas
cinating recreation and Is Incidentally
splendid training In accuracy, observa
tion and co-ordination of mind, eye and
muscle.
In Breeadus, Mont., twenty ■ eight
boys have handed together as mounted
Boy outs. All of them tune horses
Troop 12 of Wllkesbarre. Pa. ■
has become so interested in forestry
through the forest guide movement
that it is making a special stud)
of the subject under the guidance of
an expert forester. Twenty-five of the
troop are forest guides, dedicated to
wild life conservation and the preven
tion of forest fires, by active personal
service and by propaganda.
HARDING PRAISES BOY SCOUTS
This is what President Harding has
to say about the scout movement:
"i am with the scout movement
heart and soul. It Is an organization
teaching the spirit of our democracy,
because in It standing is won only
by taking the equal opportunities
given all Individuals to show their
own merit, capacity and worth. 1
wish every boy In our America could
have the advantage and the honor of
(►emu In the boy scout organisation
and of learning therein that co-opera
tion, justice, the customs of fair play
und the gentleness of good manner
make for peace and growth, as dis
ttngulshed from ihe results of disor
ganization and selfishness and coward
ice which lead to contentions and con
flict.

SCOUT INSIGNIA IN MEMORIAL
WINDOW.
The memorial window unveiled for
Rev. Dr. ('buries Townsend. for
nearly twenty years pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Orange,
N. J., is believed to lie unique in scout
lag annals, as It is the first to have the
hoy scout Insignia wrought Into its
design. Doctor Townsend was the
founder of the troop organization in
the church, ami the window is the :
gift of the scouts in loving memory
of their leader lie died in 1914. Tin
window portrays the incident of '
Christ feeding th.- multitude and re- !
ceiving the loaves and fishes from the
hand of the boy whom Andrew, the
disciple, brings to the master, a theme
unci- treated by Doctor Townsend In a
scout anniversary sermon,
UNIVERSITY ADOPTS SCOUTING
Two boy scout troops have 1,,.,.. in
stalled hi the Minimum department of
I'll University of Notre Dame. Indiana!
Lev James Burhs, president of (he
university, has this to say;
"After Investigating the boy scout
movement under Catholic leadership
and realizing the good it is accomplish
ing among our boys throughout the
United States by inculcating such vir
tues as kindness, obedience and rever
ence, I;take great pleasure in giving
my Indorsement to this praiseworthy
work and will do all 1 can in a prac

She had a mother and a father, a

Now, Willie had been asked to re

was thrilled to think that she would

friends of all the pupils and the par

picked out the funnies! piece she
could find.
She told those who were arranging
the entertainment to put down on the
program that there would he a reci
tation by Willie Reed. She would
simply call It a recitation.
They would soon hear how extreme
ly clever and funny a piece it was.
How her father would laugh! Her
father loved funny pieces, ami her sis
ter, Jessie, would be sure to remem
ber most of It and laugh about It aft

"Yes, they WOUid chuckle over it
indeed. And so would all those In the
audience.
In fact the whole audience would be
in tils of laughter, as the saying was.
They would I"', without a doubt, hold

It was easy for Willie to learn the
piece by heart, she learned it in no
'line at all and sin recited it aloud in
her room until she was sure, without
a doubt, that she would remember It
"ii the day of the entertainment.
The great day at last came, and nil
of the relations and parents and
friends assembled together. Willies
mother and father, her two brothers
and her twin Bister, Jessie, were all
there.

She tried to slop laughing, but she

It was impossible to stop laughing

THE DISABLED ARE FAVORED j
Director of the Government Veterans'
Bureau Aims to Give the Doubt
to Claimants.
Gen. Led Tape, merciless foe of the '
disabled man, has been almost en-
tirely eliminated
through efforts of
the American Le
gion, in its suc
cessful campaign
for the passage
of the Sweet bill
— and the efforts
of Charles R.
Forbes, director
of the govern
ment veterans' bu
reau.
Himself a vet
eran and a Le-
gionnaire, Mr. Forbes has adopted a
policy of seeking out the disabled man,
instead of letting the disabled man's I
claim find its way into a pigeon hole
via the route of red tape.
The government put an end to di
vided authority in Its dealing with ex
service men with the appointment of
Mr. Forbes as bend of the veterans' i
bureau. This bureau dispenses the
insurance, lodes after hospital ca**» »**''
the difficult task of restoring disabled
men to their former earning capacity,
or creating them anew through voca
tional training.
Mr. Forbes' policy in dealing with
compensation claims of disabled men
and women gives the doubt to the
claimant. "No claim," says Mr. j
Forbes, "shall be disallowed unless the
disallowance is imperative, and doubt- j
are to be decided in favor of the dis
abled man or woman."
HOW TO CURE UNEMPLOYMENT j
Secretary of Labor, Writing in Legion
Weekly, Tells How Situation
May Be Relieved.
Writing In the American Legion !
Weekly on "Seeking the Cure for Un
employment," James J. Davis, secre
tary Of labor, sums up the cure in a
single paragraph as follows:
"Wage earners can help by giving
up unreasonable demands, so that em- j
plovers can afford to start their mills
again, or so that buildings can be
built —houses, schools, factories,:
stores. Merchants ran help by giving ;
up . wimble profits, bo that more
people can afford to buy cloth I
fundi food and general supplies ;
The landlord can help by lowering uu- |
reasonable rents, so that workmen can j
afford to accept ft wage that shall be- I
come n living wage as rents arc
lowered.' 1
