The heart of him who truly has God in himself, for God is Boy Scout Week - A birthday which will involve more than a million boys and men throughout America will be celebrated in Provo this week. It is the 28th anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scout movement, which is beginning it! new year with an all-time record of 1,129,827 actiye members, and with more than 7,500,000 former Ixfys and men as participants since its organization February $, 1910. The week was ushered in around here yesterday with the observance of Scout Sunday, when programs dedicated to the Boy Scout cause were generally given in all the ward chapels and denominational churches. Many of the Scouts attended church in uniform to give visual evidence of their practice of the twelfth law, "A Scout is Reverent." The climax of the week will be Tuesday, when scouts will participate in the recommittal ceremony to be broadcast over station KSL. beginning at 8:30 p. m. The scouts will rededicate themselves to the Scout promise and scout law which is the guiding principle of scout living. The theme for the week, "Building a Stronger Generation," Gener-ation," will be given meaning each day of Boy Scout week as scouts carry the story of the things they know and do to interested church, civic and social groups in their own com- ! munity. Youth vs. Syphilis The fight against syphilis is the fight of youth against a disease, for Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, recently told an audience in Des Moines that 78 per cent of syphilis cases were contracted con-tracted by persons under the age of 30. It will take year-- yet to bring the disease and the word into the common, matter-of-fact class of other infections, but the first step has been taken and so much has been done that there is hope of reducing almost immediately the half mi: i : j minion new ca&es wmcn appear every year. i College students, persuaded by the United States De-' partment of Public Health and by campaigns of dailv news- i papers, are voluntarily appearing before clinics and taking I tests for svphilis.

Fair Warning Japan has issued a warning to all neutrals in of 100.000 square miles in central China. "We will attack that district next. We do not wish to harm neutrals, but if they remain in the battle area they are very liable to be injured therefore we urge that they withdraw." That, ir. effect, is what Japan says. Such a warning is extremely unusual for any warring nation to issue. On its face it would indicate that Japan is anxious not to embroil other countries in her present war in Oiina. Any neutrals who remain in this designated area after that warning will endanger their lives and their nations' peace.

LITTLE MEN, WHAT NOW ? 1 At least fifty of the little business busi-ness men who flocked to Wash.'.ni?-ton Wash.'.ni?-ton last week took credit for giving giv-ing Roosevelt the idea for calling the conference- They had written to him, they said, and the president presi-dent obviously had followed their advice. Whoever was actuallv responsible responsi-ble for the conference, however, pulled a boner. The meeting was the most futile and disorderly stampede Washington has seen since the ill-fated Bonus Army besieged Hoover in 1932. Before the first day was over many dele-cates dele-cates were wondering whv thev had soent good cash to participate partici-pate n a mad-house The whole thine was a sad com-mentarv com-mentarv unon (1) the lack of coordination co-ordination between the Department Depart-ment of Commerce and business; 2) the lack of coordination be-twTi be-twTi business mm themsHvos. The whole show illustrated the difficulty of getting business together, to-gether, and would have been n-diculous n-diculous had it not been for the bathetic attitude of the bonafide "little fellows" men with one or two employees, shabily clothed, diffident, unused to talking in Tnihlr vainlv seeking some solution solu-tion to a problem too big for them.

United CRANIUM CRACKERS The body of Claude Bayard was found floating in Long Island Sound near a private beach. A post-mortem examination of his body showed that he had been knocked unconscious and then had drowned. However, the police soon announced that he had not met his death in Long Island Sound, and pursued their investigations investi-gations over in New York City. There they learned that a band of professional gamblers had decided de-cided to have Bayard, also a gambler, gam-bler, put out of the way. Bayard had "squealed'' to the police about some gambling case; in retaliation, retalia-tion, the other gamblers had hired Oss '3 Fliegel, a professional gangland gang-land free lanoe executioner, to kill him. Following this lead, the police were able to show that Fliegel broke into Bayards' apartment, knocked the sleeping gangster unconscious un-conscious and then put his victim ito the bathtub and drowned him. Later he took the body down the service elevator, put it in his car, and then dumped it into Long Island Sound. THE KEY POINT IN THE INVESTIGATION IN-VESTIGATION HAD BEEN THE DISCOVERY THAT BAYARD HAD NOT DROWNED IN THE SOUND. HOW DID THE POLICE KNOW THAT?

CHAPTER IV TpOR a moment, Jack, looking like some blond young Viking, and Sylvia, her wet hair falling back from her white face, were outlined in the doorway. "Somebody get some brandy, quick," Jack commanded. "And a blanket to put around hex." Mrs. Wentworth moed about mechanically, giving orders to the servants. Barry had brought the brandy and stooped to hold it to Sylvia's lips. But Jack took it from Barry's hand. "Drink a little of this," he said gently, as though oblivious of the others grouped about the room. "There, that's fine." Color was coming back to Sylvia's Syl-via's cheeks. She glanced won-deringly won-deringly up into Jack's face. "I was wondering what you would look like," she said. "You were the gamest " "You were pretty swell, yourself," your-self," came Sylvia's weak voice. "I was on my way here," Jack explained to the others, "driving fairly close to shore. I heard her call for help. The boat had capsized cap-sized and she was trying to swim in. Lucky she wasn't far from shore." "It seemed a long distance when you were swimming in with me," Sylvia said. Tears stung Mrs. Wentworth's eyes. It wasn't fair for Jack to meet Sylvia in the role of ? rescuer, res-cuer, with angry elements providing provid-ing a dramatic backdrop. Jack was good-looking, and girls were romantic and impressionable. She hoped it would continue raining. Rain would provide an excuse . to break up the house party and go into town. But the next morning there was little evidence of the past night's fury except broken branches on the ground, and rubbish washed upon the shore. A zephyr-like breeze moved the bright awnings again. The lake was calm as glass, deeply blue. Taking its mood from the serene skies, . TN the afternoon, Jack who had . been following Sylvia about like a constant shadow took her out in a boat.

"You are wise to take your handsome life guard along with you," Barry said. "Another storm might come along. Maybe that's what he hopes will happen." Sylvia's face flushed. It was poor sportsmanship for Barry to pretend that Jack's bravery was a spectacular gesture. It Was late when they returned. "Everybody will be wondering about you," Jack said. "If it were not for that, I'd keep you out here to watch the moon come over the lake." "Let's." Sylvia's voice was eager. "They will know no harm could come to me on a lovely evening eve-ning like this not with someone who swam the lake with me in a cyclone. "It was fortunate for me that you came when you did," Sylvia said in a serious tone. "I'm wondering won-dering how it could have happened." hap-pened." "I suspect things are meant." Jack's earnest tone matched her own. "It all seemed to have worked out. I didn't come on the party because I expected a classmate class-mate to be in town several days. But he had to leave today, so I drove over here." "And then you heard me call for help." Sylvia's voice urged him to repeat the story. "Yes. I had slowed the car down for the turn. At first I thought I was imagining things. But I stopped the car, and next time I heard you call quite clearly." "I didn't call until I realized I couldn't make it in," Sylvia said. She shuddered a little. "Stop thinking about it, Sylvia," Jack spoke gently. "I'm going to take you inside where it's cheerful. cheer-ful. I've kept you out too long." rpHE chain grated as Jack se-cured se-cured the boat. He assisted Sylvia out of the boat, and they stood for a moment, his arm lightly supporting her. "When I said people would be wondering I meant Barry," Jack said. "Why?" "You see, 1 had the impression as we started off that Barry was pretty much upset. I had a feeling feel-ing it was a pretty definite feeling feel-ing .that perhaps 1 was cutting in. That you and Barry " He stopped. "It was natural for Barry to feel upset," Sylvia said. .

Bright Moments IN GREAT LIVES Joseph Chamberlain, the prime minister of England who died in 1914. was a very forceful man. The senate of Birmingham university uni-versity was meeting and Chamber Cham-ber la. 'A was a member. "I have come to the conclusion," he said-'that said-'that what we want is a Sienna tower.'' The senate looked up in astonishment. One said, "What we want is a chair for history, and one for biology," "What we mant," repeated Chamberlain "is a S-jnna tower." And one member later said: "We found ourselves outside an hour later, having argued to the erection of a tower which we didn't want, at a cost of money we hadn't got and which, if we had got, we needed for other purposes.'' pur-poses.'' BY MARY RAYMOND Copyright, 1937, NEA Srvic, Inc. "Would you have gone back?' "I'm an imaginative chap," Jack answered, trying to speak lightly. "Barry isn't. He never thinks of danger." "At least you're very loyal." There was an edge to Sylvia's voice. AT least two people were glad when the "house party was over. Mrs. Wentworth and Jill. The former realized the party had been a failure, so far as her own matchmaking plans were concerned. She was sure, however, how-ever, that no real damage had been done to Barry's romance. Jack and Sylvia had been thrown together only one day. When they returned to New York and he learned that Barry was seriously interested in Sylvia, he would step aside. Soon Sylvia would forget the exciting rescue, and turn ta Barry again. Meanwhile, Jill was congratulating congratu-lating herself that, somehow, she had successfully forestalled one of Milo's inevitable proposals. She was glad to be back in town. Now. she would brush up a bit on the happenings in the art world. There was Elise Woodworth, who had sailed the debutantlc seas with her two seasons back. Elise had turned definitely "arty." Once, last year, she had accompanied accom-panied Elise to a one-man exhibition exhibi-tion of pictures. The young man a newcomer had been, sponsored spon-sored by a rich, elderly woman, whose name meant crowds. Jill remembered that Elise had said: "When rich old ladies get tired of their Pekingeses, they attach at-tach some poor young musician or artist, and pull him around by a leash for a while." But Jill couldn't picture her cool, proud youn? artist being pulled about and f.i&tr nff. And then, Jill had an inspiration. inspira-tion. She would call Patty Ralston. Patty, who had swooned with delight de-light over everything from the newest tennis idol to the latest long-haired idol smasher, in college col-lege days, had at last got herself tagged "author" and was doing a book with an art colony as a setting. set-ting. Patty's friends were not only authors, they were designers, decorators, dec-orators, and artists. She would drive across town and gee Patty, who could always be counted upon to speed life up, if it ever ran down. Patty a thrill chased up and down Jill's spine at the mere thought might have heard of some one-man art exhibits! (To Be Continued) |
