f ! Good Turns--A New Idea A new opportunity to perform that daily good turn has originated in Bed- ford, where it has won the praise of the community. The Scouts of the 66th Troop have developed a plan whereby they get into touch with the local pliysicians whereby the latter may call upon the services of the Scouts as messengers, furnace tend: | ers, or other service in the homes of | the sick The boys call this "Sick- Home Service." Lone Scouls could very well do similar work and we suggest you get into touch with your local doctor and offer him your services for this pur- pose. A Strange Birthday Coincidence February 22nd again brought the strange coincidence of the common birthday Girl Guide. Liverpool's Lord Mayor on Scouting That there is too much spoon-feed- ing to-day, and that Scouting "helps boys to fend for themselves," was given as one of his reasons for sup- porting the Scout Movement by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Mr. John H. Inskip. "Scouting taught boys to be independent, and to find their places in life, instead of drifting," he de- clared. Awards For Gallantry Lone Scouts will be very interested to know that ten awards were recent. ly made to Scouts of this province for gallantry in saving life and property in many cases at very great risk. The highest award for gallantry is a bronze cross with a red ribbon. This is only given where exceptional hero- ism has been shown or extraordinary risks faced. For gallant deeds where the risk is not so great, a Silver Cross with a blue ribbon is awarded, whilst those who do exceptionally well in case of emer- gency, though without any great risk to themselves, receive a Gilt Cross, In other cases deserving of recognition, Letters of Commendation are issued. The following is a list of the awards which have recently been made and which all. Lonies will agree are de- serving of special mention: Silver Crosses To Scout Bert Bryan, age 12, 26th London Troop.

Clean up to-day. The dead lamb represents a loss on past operations and removes a chance of your making a dollar. Joint Ill of Lambs.--Germs gain en- trance into the circulation of the lamb, by way of the raw navel cord at the time of birth. Should a lamb lie on a dirty floor, the stump of the navel cord comes in contact with any germ laden filth that may be present. The germs causing Joint 111 are picked up in this way, to cause a swelling and a leak- ing of purulent fluid, The infected navel cord does not heal up or dry as it should, but remains raw, large and soft. Infected lambs lie around, do not suck, become dull, get stiff and their joints enlarge. Death overtakes them in a few days time. To prevent such losses give the #we a clean, well disinfected, freshly sedded pen in which to lamb. Before putting the ewe into the lambing pen, remove the wool tags from her flanks and thighs and wash off her udder and teats, When the lamb is born, 'saturate the stump of the attached plece of navel cord with a ten per cent, solution of carbolic acid or other dis- ant. Repeat daily until the cord up, when there is no danger of to recover. Give the lamb providing a clean pen in Non-Flying Chicken Studied in Kansas College Experiment Manhattan, Kan. -- Smaller and weaker--instead of bigger and better --wings on chickens are the objec- tive of experiments being carried out by Dr. D. O. Warren, geneticist of the poultry husbandry department of Kansas State College. Using a "wingless" chicken from the flock of A. A. Robertson, of Kansas City, Warren is crossing the order to study possibilities of its pe- cullar characteristic being inherited. strong, he said, when told the physi cal trait had peristed in Robertson's flock for nearly twenty years. Although termed "wingless," the birds are really only flightless. Flight feathers break off close to the wing in the adult, making it impossible for the birds to fly over fences or gates and resulting in greater ease in handling and caring for flocks.

Their faces had been seared with acid and, apparently, their clothing had been drenched with gasoline before tha killers set the automobile afire. License plates of the car were missing, while the engine number had been changed, indicating that the machine was stolen. ---- Large Wheat Crops Helps Australian Business Adelaide, 8S. Aust. -- The largest wheat crop South Australia has ever reaped is substantially helping to re- store the State's industry, which has been hard hit by low prices and pro- longed dry seasons. The State is ex- pected to garner about 50,000,000 bush- els, which should yield at least £8, 000,000, twice.as much as last year, As the bounty of 434d. a bushel will be paid by the Federal Government on all wheat produced this season, the re- storation of the industry is assured. pnt fn Girl Stowaways Found on Sealers St. John; Nfid., March 6.-- Numerous stowaways, including two girls, who sought the adventure of a trip north to the ice floes, were landed from the six sealing ships which make up this year's fleet, when dense fog and an ice jam held up the steamers outside the Narrows as they sailed from this port yesterday. meetin | Swims for 25 Feet Under Ic: to Safety Ottawa, March 6.--A "human submarine," Thomas Ahearn, a civic worker, was forced to swim 25 feet under the ice in the Rideau River af- 'ter he had fallen from the end of a boom yesterday. i As fellow-workers made frantic at- tempts to find him, Ahearn's head wag seen to pop up through a hole in {dived the ship toward the ground | ers, aged 22 and 8, respectively, were Eagles Attack Plane and Emerge Victorious Brothers Drowned | Colorado Springs, March 6. -- Two | In Catar aqui River | eagles fought a spectacular battle with ' ---------- an airplane to-day--and won. i Watchers on Shore Helpless) Mrs. Griffith Lloyd, Colorado Springs aviatrix, and Stuart Wandell, veteran When Skaters P lunge 0 Leal pilot, while flying near Pikes peak, { sighted several eagles swooping on a| Kingston, March 6.--While persons small band of Rocky Mountain sheep, |on share stood by, unable to aid, Mrs. Lloyd, who was at the controls, George and Edward Snowden, broth- an effort to scare the birds away from drowned late Saturday in the Cata- the sheep. raqui River, off Belle's Island.
