"As a matter of fact I didn't actually see the start of it because the blooming thing started itself unseen," he said "In 1893 I started to teach scouting to young soldiers ir my regiment, and in 1899. after It had become popular in the regiment, I wrote 'Alds to Scouting' for soldiers.

"In 1900, at the slège of Mafe- king, my Chief of Staff, Lord Edward Cecil, got together the boys in the place and made them into a cadet corps for carrying

orders and messages and acting as orderlies in place of the soldiers, who were thus released to streng- then the fring-line.

"We then made the discovery that boys, when trusted and relied upon, were just as capable as men and just as reliable:

· COLOUR BLINDNESS Red-Green Danger When Tired

Collins, Dr. Mary

in the Psychology Section, of the British Association, said that total colour- blindness was rare. The most frequent form Was red-green blindness, which was hereditary. It occurred on the male side of a family.

In the milder cases of colour blindness the person could see red and green if they were bright | enough These milder cases con- stituted the great practical pro- blem, for the power to tell red from green was likely to fall when the Individual was fatigued, or when there was mist or fog, and he might be unaware that he had any colour defect.

"Among the boys, as they mar- ched past at. the Crystal Palace in 1909, we found some groups of girla in scout hats, with staves and lanyards and haversacks like the boys," said Lord Baden-Powell, describing the start of the Girl Guides Why are you?' we said Oh, we are the Girl Scouts.' 'The devil you are. No Girl Scouts. So I had eventually to write a book for them, giving them the name of Guides."

Lord Baden-Powell said that the

trapping rabbits in woods that were out of bounds. If and when I caught one, which was not often, I skinned him, cooked him and ate him--and lived."

"He told this story about Lord Allenby: "General Lord Allenby was riding to his house after a feld day when his little FOD shouted to him, Father, I have shot you. You are not half a scout. A scout looks upwards as well as around him and you never saw me.'
