Plagued by fears of world disaster, Americans will find new encouragement in the future of this country during Boy Scout week, February 7 to 13. More than 1,500,000 future citizens are orenrolled in this nation-wid-e of action. Familiar to millions of Americans is this symbolic picture of a Boy Scout. It has appeared on the front cover of the Scout Handbook for many years. of 1910 the late William D. Boyce, a Chicago publisher, was in London on a business trip. One evening when he became hopelessly lost in a heavy fog, a boy appeared out of the night and offered to guide him. Mr. Boyce handed the youth a tip, but he refused it, saying he was a Boy Scout and part of his duty was to be helpful. The result was the founding of an organization in America that has at- Cross and other existing agencies in times of disaster. Invaluable services performed by Boy Scouts during emergencies are familiar to almost all Americans. Every year brings additional acr counts of youngsters who save lives through prompt action made possible lay their rudimentary training in first aid and Help in Emergencies. New England and Florida, still recovering from the hurricanes and floods of 1938, remember the Boy Scouts with warmth. Running messages, taking care of refugees, and many times actually saving lives in dramatic .episodes, these Scoqts showed themselves to be fine examples of young manhood. These teen-ag- e boys also proved their worth during the World war by selling, more than $400,000,000 worth of Liberty Loan subscriptions. They also distributed $43,000,000 worth of War Savings Stamps and located over 5,200 carloads of standing walnut trees far defense authorities. Learning by doing is the only secret to the ability of Boy Scouts to meet emergencies.

That aspect has into do with revival of d terest in what from the religious standpoint is called spiritualism and in scientific circles is known as psychical research. It was during the mass killings of the first World war that Conan Doyle stopped the flow of his famous Sherlock Holmes detective stories to announce boldly that he was in communication with the dead and could prove it. The rest of his life was given over to offering that proof, or what he thought was proof of his theory. Speaks With Dead. Actuated by the same conviction, Sir Oliver Lodge, one of the great physical scientists of all time, brought consolation into millions of bereaved British homes by his book, Raymond. In it he related conversations he believed he had had with his son after the latters death in action during a battle somewhere in France. But the psychic work of Doyle and that of Lodge were only examples of the hundreds of revelations published in England and America between 1914 and 1920 by ouija board operators, table-tilteand amateur clairvoyants as well as by wide-sprea- Fully conscious of the emergency facing America today, the Boy Scouts are endeavoring to become a signal and effective asset to the country.

President William Taft accepted the office of honorary president proffered him immediately upon the organizations incorporating, and since that time each succeeding President has held that office. Great progress was made in 1911 to put the organization on a sound basis. The national council was established and the first annual meeting was held at the White House. The first edition of the Handbook was published and the Scout oath, law, badge and fundamental policies were adopted.
