unusual and very painful accident at

burns for the victim or the accident
Mrs. Warga was engaged in drying
and dressing her hair and had several
of the small combs in her hair to
hold it while the drying process was
being used and in handling the dryer
Mrs. Warga allowed it to get too
close to one of the combs and the
heat caused the highly explosive
celluloid comb to suddenly burst in
to flame.
The cries of the victim of the ac
cident brought Mrs. John P. Sattler,
her mother to the scene and Mrs.
Sattler extinguished the flames with
her bare hands, suffering several
bad burns on both hands as the re
sult of the beating out of the uames
that were sweeping over the head of

ed through the hair and also suffered

Lads and Dads
Held Last Nite
Have Fine Program and Supper a
K. C. Hall-laire Shellenbar
ger Made Eagle Scout
From Friday's Dally
Last evening the Lads and Dads
mixer, the crowning feature of the
Boy Scout week and the nineteenth
anniversary of the founding of the
Boy Scouts of America, was held at
tne ivnignts or uoiumous hall at
Seventh street and Chicago avenue
The Catholic Daughters of Amer
ica, a great many of them mothers
of boys active in Scouting, had ar
ranged the feast and it was a real
supper and one that all members of
the party enjoyed to the utmost. The
ladies that serve the supper at these
Scout gatherings do so to aid the
good cause and have but the bare
expense for their services and which
makes their sacrifices the much more
appreciated. In the banquet H. W.
Wentworth of the Cream of the West
bakery added his part, with the
donation of the tempting rolls for
the event.
The hall was very attractively ar
ranged in red and white, the red
candles, streamers and large pots of
the blooming flowers over the tables
adding their touch to the scene and
the flowers were provided by Henry
Jasper to aid the success of the Scout
gathering.
The supper party was fortunate
in having as the presiding officer,
R. Foster Patterson of the high
school faculty and who was in his
usual fluent voice and clever man
ner in handling the introduction of
the various numbers.
The invocation for the banquet
was offered by the Rev. H. G. Me
Clusky, pastor of the First Presby
terian church.
Following the invocation the mem
bers of the supper party, dads a? well
as lads, joined in the singing of
"America" and then a number of the
snanpy songs arranged were given
largelv bv the boys as the dads did
not gefveTy strong' on the music.
The salute to the flag was joined
in by the large audience in a most
impressive manner.
The scenq was very interesting
with the youthful faces of the Scouts
seated around the festal board and
with the dads, real or temporarily
adopted for the evening, setting to
gether around the table, and all en
tered thoroughly into the spirit of
the occasion.
The welcome address was given by
Clair Shellenbarger, who was to be
one of the outstanding figures of
the evening and the young man very
cleverly gave the words of welcome
to the event.
The response was given by Vernon
T. Arn in his characteristic manner
and showed a real spirit of interest
and support for the Scouts and their
work.
Scoutmaster C. L. Slown gave a
short toast on "The Scouts," detail
ing a little of the general history
of Scouting both nationally and lo
cally and the purposes and aims of
the Scouts.
Mr. Cecil Herzeberger. newly se
lected scout executive of the Nemaha
area, was present from Nebraska
City and gave a word of greeting
to the members of the party and to
the Scouts, many of whom he was
meeting for the first time.
The Plattsmouth audience had the
opportunity of greeting an old friend
when Irving F. Wiltse, former in
structor in the local high school as
well as Scoutmaster, and now an
executive in the Omaha area, was
introduced. Mr. Wiltse spoke on the
work of the Scouts in the Phillipine
islands where he had spent two years
as an executive and had a great part
in the upbuilding of the scout work
among the Filipinos. Mr. Wiltse
stated that when he and his co-work
er arrived in the islands there were
eleven troops and some 30 0 scouts
and when his service there had ex
pired that there were 250 troops and
5,000 scouts active in the work. The
speaker briefly touched on the habits,
customs and life of a large group
of the different tribes that reside in
the eighteen islands of the group
to show the conditions under which
the scout program was extended
among the people and where the
average income of the laboring fam
ily for a year is some $60 as against
the conditions of this country. A
few of the outstanding feats of the
scouts of the islands were given to
show that among the boys of that
far away land the spirit of Scout
ing is strongly felt. In passing Mr.
Wiltse paid a very fine tribute to
Plattsmouth, its people and the local
scouts.
The main speaker of the evening
was William E. Reed of Omaha, ex
ecutive of the Omaha area of the
Scouts, who gave a very strong talk
more particularly directed to the
dads of the evening. Mr. Reed stated
in his opening that the present time
saw too prone an attitude among
many to criticize and find fault with
the youth of the land rather than
that of encouragement. To more
fully understand the boy one must
live again in youth, they must grasp
the view point of the boy by recall
ing: their own youth, by the renewal
of the dreams and idealism of the
time when nhey too were living life
from twelve to twenty years of age
and with this vision they could
grasp and reach the boy and his
thoughts and aid in bearing with
them the trials of life in this period
of their existence. The youth of to
day was more sophiseated than the
boys of twenty and thirty years ago
and not willing to accept blindly
and unreasoningly the theories and
ideas that might be offered them as
had been the boys of the past and
for this reason the father and advis
or should be frank and straightfor
ward with the boy. The father or
advisor should not represent to the
boy a standard thai the father could
not live up to himself, the boy see
ing and understanding would reeog
nize that the father was not himself
the standard that he st-t for the son
and this fact would make a deep im
pression on the boy that could not
be removed unless the father lived
up to the ideals that he taught. In
scouting the boy found one of his
greatest outlets for his vitality and
youth and the lessor taught in scout
ing were the very best that the boy
could receive. In the two "W's"
Worship and Work. Mr. Reed stated
man found his greatest opportunities
the worship of the ideals that one
held, not the worship of the good
through fear but because of the ap
preciation of the Tight. Work was
man's natural sphere and in work
that one loved was found a real en
joyment of life in a task well fulfilled.
At the conclusion cf the speaking.
E. H. Wescctt, chairman of the Scout
executive committee, in a most elo
quent address presented to Clair
Shellenbarger, local scout, the letter
honoring him with the rank of vet
eran scout, signed by the .national
head of the Boy Scouts' ot America
in recognition of hi..five years of
training and then pinned on the
breast of the fine young scout the
emblem of the higher! grarle in scout
ing, that of the Eagle scout, Mr.
Shellenbarger becoming the fifth
scout in this city to&e so honored.
