REGIONAL SCOUT HEAD VISITS
SOUTHWEST AREA.
J. P. Fitch, Regional S'cout Execu-
tive of Texas, Oklahoma, and New
Mexico, was in Southwest Texas
Council Saturday, Sunday and Mon-
day. He spoke in Hondo and Sabina!
Saturday, held a union service in
Carrizo Springs Sunday, and talked
to the Uvalde Rotary Club Monday.
He held conferences with interested
Scout men in Del Rio, Uvalde and
other points. He is enthusiastic over
this territory, and has a new idea of
the bigness and prosperity of South-
west Texas. On the other hand, the
people who came in contact with him
have a larger conception of America’s
greatest citizen-and-character-build-
ing program, the program that frills
the leisure hours of a boy’s life, dur-
ing the most character-forming years,
with useful and interesting activity,
developing him mentally, morally,
and physically.
In his talk to the Uvalde Rotary
Club, Mr. Fitch emphasized the fact
that in cities with a large per cent
of crime among boys, there had been
a marked decrease in delinquency
when Scout Aroops were organized
among the boys. The railroads which
have employed regular Scout men to
organize troops along their roads
have found that it prevents petty
theft, brings about more respect for
railroad property, prevents accidents,
docs away with much carelessness
and is a paying investment for the
railroads.
Our Scout Executive is again start-
ing out with renewed determination
and new x'igor on the finance cam-
paign for the budget of the year’s
work, as a result of spending the
week-end with the Reginol Executive.
He has much to overcome—the in-
difference of so many fathers and
men who will not stop a moment to
think of the boys of their community.
Due to the fact that he was called
to Corpus Christi last week because
of the serious illness and death of
a brother just two years younger,
who had been a pal and close com-
panion, Mr. Palmer was forced to
leave off a few visits he intended to
make over the area organizing troops.
Six brothers and sisters were present
at the funeral of his brother, Geo.
C. Palmer. He had Jbeen county
agent of Nueces County for four
years, president of the Kiwania Club
of Corpus, and a Shriner. He left
! a host of admiring friends and rela-
tives to mourn with his young wife
and three-year-old son, Geo. Clark,
I Jr.

The fiftieth anniversary of the
organization of Texas beekeepers will
be ohfterved during the Farmers’
Short Course, A. & M. College of
Texas, July 25-30, when the Texas
Beekeepers’ Association holds ses-
sions on July 26-27. This is the
oldest organization that will convene
here during the Short Course. Texas
beekeepers were organized in 1877.
Dr. S. W. Bilsing, professor of
entomology, A. ft M. College, will
be in charge of the program of the
beekeepers and one of the events
scheduled is a “Beekeepers Buzz” at
the residence of Dr. Bilsing the night
of July 26. President L. R. Nolen,
Corsicana; Secretary H. B. Parks,
San Antonio, and other officers of
the association will be present and
a large attendance at the meeting
is expected. Special rates have been
authorized by the railroads for the
Short Course.
A full program of discussions on
topics relating to problems of the
beekeeper has been prepared. These
include not only care of bees but
production and marketing problems
also. One part of the^program will
be devoted to discussion of packing
and extracting honey.
Among those who will appear on
the program are: T. P. Robinson,
Bartlett; H. B. Parks, San Antonio,
who is in charge of the apicultural
research laboratory near San An-
tonio of the Experiment Station; H.
E. Coffey, Whitsett; Dr. E. P. Hum-

badge tests, and these two boys were
given certificates entitling them to
wear the Star and Life Scout Badges.
This is the first meeting of this
kind to be held in Hondo and we
hope by the time we have another we
will be able to have it at a better
time during the week and also have
every parent, who has boys belong-
ing to the Scouts, there.
Hondo Troop of Boy Scduts has
been 1st in every contest and in every
step made by scouts in this district.
We were the first troop officially in-
stalled and the first troop to have
a Court of Honor and also first to
have boys pass the 1st Class Test.
We take this means of thanking
every one who has helped the boys
in anyway to make this good record.
Mr, Henry Windrow is responsible
1 for a great part of t^iis progress made
by the boys and we want to thank
him also for his work.
The boys have permission to make
a meeting place on Mr. Montel’s
place near the old base ball park, |
ice. cake itself. Then the chilled air
will fall and push the warmer air
ahead of it, making a circuit of the
different food chambers before re-
turning to the ice cake. Odors and
impurities which the air current has
absorbed will he deposited upon the
watery film on the ice, and carried
down the drain. Hindering the cir
culation of the necessary air current
in a refrigerator produces a stuffy
atmosphere, in which food flavors
mix with bad results.
Another hindrance to efficiency in
the refrigerator is the practice of
placing milk bottles or other food
in the ice chamber itself. This not
only hinders air circulation, but is
unnecessary. A good refrigerator
can be depended upon to keep a
temperature of 50 degrees or less,
which is cold enough for the preser-
vation of food. Highly perishable
food should he placed in the coldest
food chamber, which is directly be-
neath the ice chamber.
Good treatment of the refrigerator

the refrigerator should be opened
only when really necessary, then
closed quickly and tightly. The use
of a tray to remove at once several
foods that may he wanted over a

Finally, at cleaning time it is not
necessary to give the refrigerator a
