PUBLIC BE DAMNED
IS NEW DRAMA AT
EMPRESS TONIGHT
Tonight and tomorrow a strong and
vital photoplay, “The Public Be
Damned,” an expose of the food gam
blers, a striking picturization of the
food trust, that most criminal* com
bination of America’s business his
tory, w-hich grinds alike the farmers
and the people in its insatiable desire
for profits, will be seen at the Em-1
press. It traces back to the cause of
today’s excessive cost of living, shows
the effect and suggests the remedy.
following the drama is a two-reel
comedy, “The Movie Dummy,” featur
ing Toto, the clown wizard. Toto is in
^class all by himself in the fun-making
line, and his work in this comedy is
novel and original.

Boy Scouts of America.)
GLAD HIS BOY IS A SCOUT
At a recent father and son banquet
Jn Chicago the father of a scout made
ihe following speech, according to O.
L. Duggan, field executive:
“When my boy came to me several
years ago and said he wished to join
the boy scouts I said emphatically ‘No.
A few days later he asked a second
time to be allowed to join a troop that
was being formed at the church. I
said ‘No’ again, but immediately began
to investigate scouting and found it to
be not at all what I had thought, a
young army, but that it taught many
good and useful things. Still 1 did
not tell him that he might join.
“A few days later he came to me
a third time and said: ‘Dad, why don’t
you want me to join the boy scouts?’
Then I said to him : “Son, I didn’t want
you to join the scouts, but I have made
an investigation and if you will prom
ise me that you will live up to the oath
and law of that organization I will
give you my consent to join.’ He was a
happy boy and joined the scout troop
at the next meeting.
“I cannot tell you how thankful I
am that he did join the troop. I can
not think of any other one thing that
%as done as much for my boy as being
a scout. We are pals together. My
son tells me everything. He is a good
boy and a good scout, and the scout or
ganization and the scoutmaster deserve
all the credit for what he is today.”
FRENCH SCOUTS PHOTO GRAVES.
Out on the silent battlefields of
France, at Lille, St. Quentin, Soissons,
Rheims, Sedan, Vosges and other
whelI-srarred places where Americans
CHANCE FOR MEN AS SCOUTS.
Frequently some men are heard to
say: “I wish there had been boy
scouts, when I was a boy. I’d like to
have had their chance of having a real
gang and doing the things they do in
the outdoors.”
No one is too old ,to be a scout.
There are 14.01S men serving as
scoutmasters, and 17,203 hold commis
sions as assistant scoutmasters. For
each of the 16,541 troops organized
there is a committee of three men
whose duty it is to back up the scout
master and assist the troop in every
possible manner.
There is a crying need for more
leaders, as there are thousands of
boys waiting to get into troops. If you
wish you had been a scout, you can
at least load the boys now to be
scouts. It will do you a lot of good
yet, and also do the boys a great
amount of good.
There is nothing in life so full of
genuine satisfaction as to hold rhe
whole-souled admiration of 32 young
sters.
SCOUTS WILL FTELP POLTOE.
El Paso’s 450 boy scouts are to be
made adjuncts to the police depart
ment.
It will give the boy scout* a train
ing in community protection, increase
their interest in the city’s welfare, and
it will serve, advocates of the move
believe, to go far toward preventing
the spread of radical doctrines.
Boys put on their honor will make
fine guardians of the city, it was
stated, and will report any and all
violations of the law. In several other
cities, notably Kansas City. Mo., boy
scouts on special occasions assist the
police in handling crowds and in serv
ing as crossing patrolmen.
THE BOY SCOUT’S BUSY LIFE.
Removed dead trees from a church
yard, searched the woods for a miss
ing man, took part in the Victory Loan
rally and bought a note is the wgood
turn record of Scout Troop No. 1 of
Bushkill, Pa.
