"OLD GLORY" NEVER SALUTES
incident of Boy Scout Jamboree in
London Apparently Misunderstood
There and In America.
There has been much comment on
this side of the ocean as well as the
other because during the recent "Iu
tornational Scout jamboree" in London
the American Boy Scouts did not dip
their ilng in salute, as tho scouts of
all other countries d(Id.
Even when ceremonies wwe held
in honor of the war dead, the Amori
can flag remained steadily upright
wheni all other flags wer. dipped.
When King George reviewed the
Scouts, aguit our flag remniuud stn
tiontary while all other flags alutod
iml11.
It i9 reportel that thin "unfortunato
event" left "a unfavorabl inpres

"Puseles" Alike Went on Their
Way Rejoicing.
An unusua sight was witnessed last
week on the road to Onsot. A party
of Brocktonlians wore autoing to
Bournehurst and on tho road this side
of Onset there suddenly appeared a
black and white patch. The machine
approached the spot at a fast mte and
as it drew n.irer the mtasn straight
ened out into a line across the road.
There was a gasp of astunishment
nnd of dismay, also, for the black-and
white mass proved to be a mother
skunk leading four little ones across
the streot- They were moving very
slowly, no slowly indeed that it was
unpossiblo to stop the cur before It
reached thiema.
Admonitins of "Don't hit thon"
were not necesary to the driver of
the machit; bnt he was wonderlag
