The Exeter Times, 1923-8-30, Page 7What's a` Boy Scout? A Bey Scout? He enjoys a walls through the woods more than he does the excitements of the city, streets, He learns the facts about the winds, .the stairs, the trees, and all living things; and becomes "master of him- self". :in the open. A Scout can tie a knot that will hold,. he can swim; he can patce a tent, he can mend a tear -in his trousers, he can tell you what weeds •are poison- ous and whatare not. If living near ocean, lake or river, he can reef a sail or pull an oar. A Scout does not run away when an accident occurs. If a person has been cut he uses his first aid knowledge in stopping the flow of blood; if a per- son has been burned he knows just how to alleviate the suffering; if any - e ne should be dragged train the water unconscious a Scout at once sets to work to restore respiration and circu- lation. A Scout is, kind to everything that lives. He prides himself upon doing a "good turn" every day far which he, of course, will not accept a tip. A.,Scout prorieses to do his duty to God and the Bing. To obey the Scout Law, and to help other people at all times. And in practice he does his best to keep himstel' physically strong, mentally awake and 'morally straight. Any :boy twelve years e1 age or over may ,become 'ae Scout by joining troop that has already been started. In case there is no• troop in his neigh- borhood or if for other reasons it is advisable to organize a new troop, this. may be done by the gang or the united effort of eight or more 'boys. Tn all .cases the consent of the parent. or guardian must be shown on the en- rollment blank:. Ariy boy who is in- terested should seek the help of the Scoutmaster of bis neighborhood, or personally apply at the Local Scout Headquarters. Inform yourself fully.

War on .the criminal world goes on unceasingly azul the forces of law and order have valuable aids in the radio and telegraph.. At the recent police convention in New York a Danish delegate, a woman, even offered: -a sys- tem of telegraphing or :cabling the sus- pected person's' fingerprints. Her plan will be in universal use shortly and siatould''do much toward capturing fugi- tives from justice who 'escape the country where their' crimes are corn • ` netted. Still another step forward is the per faction of an, invention by an Italian criminologist, Signor Mersa, by means of which the actual photograph of the man or woman wanted is broadcast by telegraph. The Elllero system, le se simple that the wonder of it rests in the 'fact it: was not thought out years ago. An ordinary; standard. pee `ographdc frame le marked into ninety squarest, each one numbered. Fare shading in the photograph has its humber and the suspected person's features are thus transferred lnto a numerical code. The receiver by means of his index chart can ;thus. reconstruct' the 'actual. picture of the erim1nal by using the numbers in the order in which they are sent. It is easy to see there is no complicated sending process such as is used to the Berlin method of tele- '.ia,phing photographs and that the re- suLtant 'chance: of elver is reduced to a minimum. Nor is it necessary to rely on any chemicals or an hyper- sensitive plates affected by the elec- tric currents• that record the lights end shadows of the photograph. Reports'of the Ellero system of code numbers say that the system le easily learned and that some police officials even have mastered it in one 1dsson.

HANS INSURED FOR $60,000 Mlle. Lenglen takes the greatest pre- cautions to guard from possible .dam- age the hand with which she makes her wonderful drives and volleys. She even shakes hands with her left hand in order that her right may escape the slightest harm. As she le, an amateur she would suf- fer nir finanolal•less if,,by some injury, she were prevented from _playing'ten- nis' agate., otherwise she might foll•pw the •example of other notable people and take out a heavy insurance on the limb which has brought her to the topmost pinnacle of lawn -tennis fame. Famous dancers and instrumnetal- ists are almost invariably protected by some such policy, since` the slight- est : injury to ankle or finger might cause the cancellation of ,a contract and the consequent loss of thousands of pounds. For many years Paderewski paid' $4,000 a year in premiums against in- jury to his hands, which were insured for $60,000. He had separate pol,ieies for his fingers!, thumbs, eyes, and toes, and en one oecasdon, when a damaged finger -nail prevented him from appear- ing at a' concert, he was paid $5,000 compensation, Iiubelik, the great violinist, had his "bow" hand insured for $10,000 against injury, and for $50,000 against per- manent disablement. Boxers Barred. Pavlova is said to have -protected her beautiful limbs by a most nom- prehentsdve insurance policy. The dis- ablement of a single toe of her dainty foot might. -cost the underwrltera no less than $30,000, while, her country- woman, ,MIIe. Napierskowska, insured her feet against accident to the ex- tent -of $62,500. • - Lt might 'appear to be impossible to insure such an intangible 'thing as a voice, but Mme. Patti, wile was one of the pioneers of thisform of protec- tion, was invariably insured for $5,000 a performance. Since then her :ex- ample has been followed by many fa- mous stingers. When Mr. Tom Burke, the cele- brated tenor, was booked for a tour of 100 concerts throughout Canada and the United States, his'impreseario safeguarded himself by insuring the life of the stinger for $500,000. - It is not only those who amuse and entertain the public who insure them- selves. against the loss of their powers. The late Professor Huxley was the first roan on record to insure his: ye slght, and would have received $26,- 000 if he had gone blind; while it is stated that the hands of Sir 'Herbert Barker, the famous manipulative sur- geon, are insured for a large sum against disable'men't. When, however, a certain famous oxer tried to insure his hands against njury, the underwriters refused to note him terms for the risk.

Brewer. The following boyhood r experience was related to me by my father: A few years ago I' got the job of driving a grocery wagon around in a town that was unfamiliar tonne. Con- sequently, I"did not know the streets where I was to make deliveries. "Oh, that's all right," said the boss, You'll soon learn the route," "But you are going with me the first time, aren't you," I asked. "Nope, you can depend upon the. horse." And so I went off, wondering wheth- er this. mysterious horse was really a man and the wagon a jinrikisha. No, the horse was a horse, and a beautiful ne. ; Ile started off, went on for a lock two,then cdrew up to the curb rid stopped in front of a house. "What is he stopping for?"

The Smallest Fish. Probably the smallest fish in the world are to be found in the moun- tain lake Buhl, on the island of Luzon, Philippines. This fish, which the na- tives call, the emarapan, is the <inost. minute vertebrate animal known to science. It weighs only half a grain, and half an inch is its maximum length.' This appeared in a daily paper, and as the item was interest- ing, if true, we took the trouble to consult Dr. Lucas, dda'ector of the American Museum of National IIis- tory, and he not only seid the item was correct, but gave some additional informatilon and compared the minute fish with a whale. He writes as fol- lows: "Mist'ichthys luzonensds; one weighs• 1.9866 grains, 14,000,000 weigh one ton and 840,000,000 weigh sixty tons—blue whale." SYMPTOMS TOMIJ ' �: ANAEMIA An Inherited Tendency to Some people have a tendency to be wine thin -blooded just as others have an inherited tendency to rheumatism, or to nervous disorders .The condi- tion 1n wihdch the blood becomes so thin that tdie whole body suffers comes on: so gradualiy and stealthily that anyone with a natural disposition in' that direction should' watch the symp- toms carefully. Bloodlessness, or anaemia, as the medical term is, can be corrected much more easily inthe earlier stages than later. It begins with a tired feeling that rest does not overcome, the complexion becomes pare, and breathlessness on elight ex- ertion, such as going up stairs, is no- ticed.

"Put your trust in the Lord, my men, and keep your powder dry" w'as the advice of Oliver Cromwell to his troops. ;The; moral of that great Geri eral's exhortation is "The Lord helps' those that help themselves." Is there anything more valuable than human life? Is there an asset to any home greater than the new- born baby? If sickness visits a home is the best service too good? Year niter year all or this tinent, various medical, hospital veandconnursing associations have been grappling with an all-important question, viz.: the better caring for the sick and the pro- viding of the very best facilities to I relieve suffering humanity. The bet iter the service the greater the cost; and generally speaking, the greater the monetary burden upon the sick or afflicted. This question of provid- ing a hospital service for the people of any province in Canada might be solved by the establishment of Muni- cipal hospitals; ; whereby ways and means could be provided for the peo- ple to help themselves and bring to within reasonable access the maximum of hospital service at the minimum of i'cost. I There is an old saying "In time of ,peace prepare for war,' but so far, as health activities of this kind are concerned, there is another. slogan, "In time of health prepare for sickness." The usefulness of the municipal hos- pitals is especially apparent in the early development of new parts of a province where medical and nursing facilities are few and: far between. Pioneers must necessarily endure hardships and inconveniences; but, as development proceeds, population in- creases. Then,. the lessons of the past should result in a resolve on the part of the people to guard against the bit- ter experience of those who have "broken the trail," This problem of providing medical and nursing servicesto the great sparsely settled expanses of our pro- vince, is becoming increasingly im- portant.' In some case;; families live ne many as fifty miles from the near- est physician and have little or no means at their disposal to cope with any sickness or accident that may occur. '...

Stomach troubles cholera Mien - tum and diarrhoea carry oft thousands of little ones •every summer, in most cases becaus.e::the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets relieve these troubles, or if given occasional- ly to the well child will prevent their owning on.

Seasi irness, or dread of it, keeps many a person from traveling abroad, but the prevention of this temporary dis;tresss seems at hand in the anti rolling devices used on the newest German liner, the Albert Bailin.' The system is the development of the old time bilge keel, or "rolling chock," as sailors called the original idea. But, instead of the side fins to keep the step steady, the German deeioe,,aails for two long tanks, just below- the water line rnd• about midshlps.

In the last address the writer heard him de- liver, Mr. Tomlin referred to singing from the play standpoint. He said, "Play is an important part of life. The man who has never played is stiff and angular, not to say crabbed. "Nature uses the joy -relaxations of play to assemble certain parts and powers in ue, . to blend them in unity and then deploy them to advantage. Thus we are made fit for the activities of work a_day lite. The boys play their arms and legs in football, the lit- tle girls play Mothering : their :dolls, and all of them play their minds in story books. "But as we::grow up we turn too ex- clusively to physical play; .to feats of strength and agility—things. in which we are excelled by the lower animals: Whereas there is equal and even great- er content. in the play of our higher powers. "Song, in a way, is this kind' of playa By means of song all our powers. may be brought into .use, First, the soul by means of the breath, unifies the body, mind and heart powers and joins' them to itself.
