The wise, shrewd housewives
won’t be fooled into accept-
changing?
Are morals on a lower scale
than ever before? Are women
looking less upon marriage as a
career? Is divorce spreading?
Are women actually carrying
out their threat to "live their
ownlives"? W.L. George gives
you the final answer to these
questions. Together with 47
other features and 8 stories in

Roundup's Great Work.
The united effort of all scouts in
achieving the purpose of the great
anniversary roundup—that is, an ad-

week of the thirteenth anniversary of
the movement, Feb. 8-15, is rhown, in
the fact that to date 78,400 new mem-

What the Troops Are Doing.
Troop Two: As the Boy Scout Rally
was held last Saturday night, we did
not have our regular meeting Friday
night.
Our troop furnished twelve boys for
the investiture service. We were pre-'
sented with the field day cup and with
the pennant for L rcond place during
inspection on the summer camp. We
had twenty-seven present at the rally.
We hope that the whole troop will
be present at our next meeting as we
are going to have a “feast.”

It Does Not Ring True.
A pretended Interest is one of the
feeblest of shams. The scout who
talks about books he does not care
for or music he does not understand
betrays his Ignorance and Indifference
with every bieath. And to pretend an
interest. you -do not feel in others is
readily detected. Counterfeit interest,
like counterfeit money, does not ring
true.—Buffalo Scout Trail.

Honor, thinking that the boy had slip-
ped through some of his requirements

ity merit badge?”
“I wired my father’s house,” replied
Tompkins.
“How did you earn your automobil-
ing merit badge?”
“I designed and built an automobile.”
“How fast will it go?”
“Forty-five to fifty miles an hour.”
“What did you paint for your paint-
ing merit badge?”
”I painted my father’s house last
spring.”
“You win,” said the Chairman.
“Next.”

Big Society to Co-Opcrate.
The United Charities of the Chris-
tian Endeavor, the largest body in this
country of young people affiliated un-
der the standard of religious ideals, is
to co-operate actively in furthering
the scout movement in the various
churches represented in the society,
it was agreed at the recent annual
meeting of the national field secreta:
ries of the society, recently held in
Chicago. The following method of
co-operation has been workNt out by
the society and the educational de-
partment of the Boy Scouts of Amer-
ica. A pamphlet is to be produced un-
der the joint authorship of the United
Societies of Christian Endeavor and
the Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts, on
its part, will urge the recruit of scout-
masters from the ranks of the society
and the society will urge the scoutmas-
ters to further their work by instilling
spiritual ideals in the minds of those
whom they will lead. Practical work
will be under way w ithin thirty da vs.
in the matter of organiaztion of troops.
In connection with this move, these
national field men will be commis-
sioned as special scout representatives
for the territories which they cover.

Special to The Austin Statesman.
GEORGETOWN, Texas, Jan. 25.--
In the presence of- officials of the in-
dependent school district, the schools
and newspapers yestesny, the corner-
stone of the Georgetown High School
building, formerly Georgetown College
and later Southwestern University
building, which is being torn down by
“contractors for the purpose of building
a commodious modern high school
building, was opened. The chamber
in which were deposited records, coins,
books, etc., was capped with a large
limestone rock, and the contents, save
those of metal, were entirely disinte-
grated.
One half-dollar, two quarters and
several smaller coins, together with
the cover of a book, evidently a Bible,
were all that was found. These, witn
the ashes of the disintegrated con-
tents, were taken and will be placed
in the archives of Southwestern Uni-
versity. This building was erected in
1870, the Cornerstone having been laid
in the spring of that year.
The yells and songs were good and it
was proven that a bunch of scouts can
sing when they want to. ,
The talks by George McCullough, A.
. C. Baldwin, national councilman, and
Ia J. Bailey were especially good. .
The Tenth troop was made happy
; with the presentation of the inter-
i troops efficiency contest cup by the
; scout commissioner. Troop Two got
some satisfaction out of the fact that
It received the field dap cup for win-
ning the last field day, and the First
troop couldn’t help but feel proud
when it received the banner for tent
inspection on the summer camp. Troop
Twelve wasn’t left out of the running,
as it received a pretty banner for
! winning first place in Class B on
the last field day. ,
The twenty odd scouts who received
civic service bar pins had a right to
feel satisfied and proud, as they had
worked faithfully ‘to help their com-
munity during the past year.
Probably the most impressive part
of tho program was the investiture
ceremony put on by a team of thirteen
scouts from the Second troop Scout-
master C. J. Baldwin, Troon Ten, act-
ed as installing officer. Twenty new
scouts were initiated and received
some lessons that will help to make
them better scouts and men in the
years to come.
A success? Bure, the rally was a
temple, said probably to be a former
sanctuary of Adonis. The Associated
Press states that in’the same district
the boys found important Babylonian
and Phoneclan relics, mostly in tombs,
which had been burled in the sands
for many centuries. A small museum
has been established at the Jebeil or-
phanage to accommodate the treas-
ures. but it is expected that the Near
East Relief will send the more impor-
tant objects to American museums.
Troop Ten, Our troop had a good
attendance at the Boy Scout Rally
which was held last Saturday night
at Scout Headquarters' Fourteen
scouts, one scoutmaster and one visi-
tor was present.
We1 are proud of the record made
by Scout W. T. Johnson of this troop
for civic service work. We are glad
that our troop was fortunate enough
to win the Efficiency Contest and hup©
that we will continue to win.
Our regular weekly meeting will be
held next Saturday night at Woold-
ridge School at 7:00 o’clock. Each
member is urged to be' present. Visi-
tors are always welcome.

Troop Twelve: The Twelfth Troop
attended the Rally Friday night in-
stead of having their regular meeting.
Nine members of the troop attended
the Rally.
We extend our thanks to the C. and
S. Sporting Goods Co. who awarded
the trophy for Class B to the Twelfth
troop last Friday night.

few days this week.___________i
We expect to have a regular meeting
next Friday night at Fulmore School
and work out plans and select our
teams for next field day.

Membership Roundup.
According to the records at local
scout headquarters, seven Austin
troops are eligible for streamers being
offered by President Hardipsto those
troops which show a 25 pe cent mem-
bership increase over thgr enrollment
of Dec. 31, 1921, provided these troops
maintain their present enrollment until
Feb. 15, the end of anniversary week.
These honor troops are Troops One.
Eight, Nine, Ten, Twelve, Thirteen and
Fifteen.
The other troops have been notified
of just how many new scouts they will
have to recruit between now and Feb.
15, and several are determined to win
recognition from President Harding
Following are the conditions upon
which the President’s awards will be
made by the national council:
A troop steamer or perinant to each
troops which, by its own endeavors,
adds to the boy membership of the
Boy Scouts of America the equivalent
of 26 per cent of the membership of
the troop on Dec. 31, 1921, or, if organ-
ized since that date, then 25 per cent
of its membership on date of registra-
tion. The increase to be in the trcop
itself, or partly in that troops and
partly in another, or wholly‘in a new
or existing troop, these provisions be-
ing necessary in the case of troops
which can not accommodat in their
own ranks a 25 per cent increase.
