If the boys you meet around Nor-
waik Feb. 8 seem to be raising more
of a rumpus than usual.
celebration of an event very import-
ant to Young America.
The Boy Scout movement was in—
corporated and officially launched in
our country Feb. 8. 1910. two years
after Sir Robert S. S. Baden—Powell
started the organization in England. E
The general purpose . of the Boy
Scouts is to train lads in good citizen-
ship. manhood and selffeliance. Its
founders displaying considerable
knowledge of psychology. assured its
success by adopting uniforms for the
members.
Man or bov. let him wear a form .
and he'll do almost anything. Some
of our big national movements that;
{all might be sucrssi‘ul if an attractive
uniform went with membership. May-
S
be that‘s the way to enforce prohibl—i
flow—officially permit abstainers to
wear something like a red cost.
Did it ever occur f; you that the
uniform is the first image that comes
to your mind at mention of Boy
Scouts?
Few of us have an accurate idea
of the values the young generation
get from the Boy Scouts. A scout
starts as a tender-loot and then works
up. by merit and ability, to second~
class scout. finally to first-class.
To be a. first-Class scout. a. boy has
to be able to swim 50 yards. lie
must have at least $2 in a savings
bank.
I
to administer first-aid in case of ac-
cidents such as severed arteries and
drowning. He must know how to
read maps and make them, handle an
ax. judge distance and be able to cook
for campers.
The Boy Scout pledges obedience-
to parents. kindness to animals. and
courtesy to all. He has instilled into
him a high code of honor and prac-
tical applications of the Golden Rule
and Good Samaritanism. '
The best thing done by the Boy
Scouts is that it takes its membars
back to nature. The closer we keep
to nature. the better for our nation.
There is-slways hope for a civilization
whose boys are prowling in the woods,
hiking cross-country. studying birds
and flowers and breathing fresh air.
In our half mad swarming in cities.
we have given the boy a raw deal,
stripped him of his rightful play-
grounds, caged him up like an animal
and handicapped him with unhealth-
fui environment. ‘
For all this. the Boy Scouts move-
ment is in the nature of an antidote.
This would be a whole lot better
country to live in if the grown-ups
started a. similar organization to de-
velop the same ideals oi! brotherhood
and get us out into the open country
occasionally. away from filth. poison-
ous air. maddening racket and nervous
tension.
We need an organization of Men
Scouts and Women Scouts. It would
b. a. good thing for the Norwalks.

Americans increased their bank sav-

One of the big Chicago mail order
houses issues its financial statwuent.
showing that it sold $160.648.162
worth of goods in 1922. and made a
profit of $5,435,168.
That is doing business on a slender
margin—a profit of less than four
cents on a dollar.
In 1921 the company showed an
operating loss of 816.435.4683
