By swinging the staff out over the water, beyond the floating article, you will be able to draw the latter in close to shore.
*Stockings: To match uniforms, made of heavy material and suitable for scouting. Price 30 cents in cotton, $1.25 in wool.
Sweaters: Any local clothing store will be able to secure for the scout the kind and quality of sweater needed.
* Telegraph Instruments: Beginners' telegraph {367} instruments, to be used in learning the Morse code, may be secured through any electrical supply house. The instrument illustrated, five ohms, price, $1.30.
Tracking Irons: Excellent tracking irons can be made of 7/8-inch heavy band iron, using the design presented here. Any local blacksmith will gladly assist the boys in making their irons.
* Troop Colors: Made of superior wool bunting upper half, red; lower half, white. Reproduction of the official badge super-imposed in green and gold. Sufficient space left for troop number and name of city. Size of flag, 22 in. by 36 in. Letters to be attached by the local troop. Price without letters $1.00.
* Trousers: Full length for scout masters: Made of Standard olive drab cotton cloth, belt loop. Price $2.00. If breeches are preferred, they may be had at same price. Better quality of boy scout suits--made of U. S. Army standard olive drab cloth. Coat $2.50, breeches $2.00.
Watch: Every scout should possess a good watch. No particular make of watch is recommended. The choice of this article is left entirely with the boy and may be bought through a local jeweler.
Water Bottle: In some cases where the individual scout is not furnished with a canteen, the patrol may desire to carry a supply of water on the march. For this purpose water bottles capable of carrying a large quantity of water may be secured. These should be purchased through some army supply house.
*Whistles: Scout standard whistle, for use in signaling by whistle. Made of brass, gun metal finish, ring at end to attach to lanyard. Price 10 cents.

BOOKS FOR REFERENCE
This list of reference books has been prepared for the use of scouts, to supplement information given in the handbook prepared for their use. It has been the aim to give as wide a selection as possible, in order that the boy scout might not fail to find in the local public library, some book on any subject in which he may have particular interest. The list includes literature directly or indirectly related to scouting, as well as some appropriate books of fiction.
For convenience the books have been listed in accordance with the subject headings of the various chapters of the Handbook. Some of the most experienced librarians of the country have submitted material which has aided in the preparation of this list. For this kindly cooperation, sincere thanks is given.
Many of the books have been carefully reviewed by someone connected with the boy scouts, and in many cases through the courtesy of the publishers copies of these books are available for reference purposes at the office of the National Headquarters. Suggestions for additions or improvements upon this list will be gladly received at any time. Communications should be addressed to the Executive Secretary, 200 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
[Transcriber's note: In the following list of books the first line is the title, the second the author, the third the publisher. The author and/or publisher may be omitted.]

Do You Know This Manual From Cover To Cover?
Well, here is another rule for you to memorize:
"Whenever Hungry Eat Peter's Chocolate"
Alpine climbers, hunters, campers, and woodsmen of all descriptions consider Peter's Chocolate the regulation food for camp or trail.
It is absolutely the most sustaining; has the most delicious taste that always makes you want more, and does not create thirst.
Don't you go camping this summer without a liberal supply. You can get the nut chocolate or the plain chocolate as you prefer, but be sure to ask for Peter's, the Original Milk Chocolate.
Peter's comes in several varieties:
Peter's Milk Chocolate
Peter's Milk Chocolate Croquettes
Peter's Almond Milk Chocolate
Peter's Milk Chocolate with Roasted Hazelnuts
Peter's Bon-Bons

In conjunction with the Boy SCOUTS OF AMERICA we have published a book called "Boy Scouts." The text of the book is written by Mr. J. L. Alexander and the illustrations are by Gordon Grant. It is the only illustrated book of the Boy Scouts. We have made arrangements with the National Headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America to allow a commission of two cents to any patrol on each book sold for ten cents by the members of that patrol. We will send express collect, to the Scoutmaster any number of these books which he thinks can be disposed of within thirty days by the boys under him. At the end of that time he is to send us eight cents for each book sold and return the remaining books.
If a local organization is in need of funds to purchase pictures, furniture, uniforms or anything else needful for its rooms or activities, this affords an excellent opportunity for the boys to earn part or all of the necessary amount.
This book, "BOY Scouts," will be sent anywhere for ten cents in stamps or coin by
Minute Tapioca Co., Orange, Mass.

"It's time you owned a Waltham"
The Watch for the Boy Scout as well as for the veteran. The boy of today doesn't want a clock watch bought in a notion store at the price of a toy. He wants an accurate watch bought from a jeweler--one he can take pride in and one that teaches him to respect time. An accurate time-piece, like scouting, cultivates habits of precision and punctuality.
WALTHAM
Watches are noted time-keepers in every grade. There are moderate priced Waltham watches that keep perfect time. Even low priced Walthams maintain wonderful records for accuracy. The pride of owning a watch of the world-wide reputation of Waltham, adds immensely to any boy's happiness.
Send for Descriptive Booklet of Waltham Movements or Ask Your Jeweler.

The author has put into this book his experience of twenty-two summers of actual camping with boys. The twenty-three chapters are filled with information such as this: where to go; what to take; how to layout a camp, pitch tent, build a camp fire; what to cook and how to cook it, how to get well if you eat too much of it; directions for long trips, short trips, any trip at all; something to do every hour of the day, from reveille to taps; first aid, games, nature study and that's not half. 294 pages. 100 pictures.

The author has started thousands of men and boys on the way to mastery of the various strokes--under arm, over arm, crawl, etc. Over one hundred practical illustrations are shown. More value for less money than can be found in any other book of the kind. "The methods of illustrating are the best that can be devised, and the pictures convey an extremely clear idea of what is meant. Mr Corsan's book stands with the best, of which there are few, as a most complete work."--CHARLES M. DANIELS, Champion swimmer of the United States, in the Playground.

It compactly puts the physical facts of male life; adds a very valuable chapter of practical advice on personal hygiene; then stops, and lets the boy do his own thinking."
--Professor G. WALTER FISKE, Oberlin.
Life Questions of High School Boys
J. W. JENKS. Cloth, 40 cents; paper, 25 cent. The distinguished Cornell Professor has given here brief discussions of Habit, Cheating, Societies, etc., in a way that starts the boy thinking in the right direction.
The boy has the brain and the will, he doesn't need anybody to think for him or to decide for him. He needs to be guided into right ways of thinking and deciding for himself. This book is such a guide. It simply says, Here are two ways--which do you think is right. Very well, do that.
Social Activities for Men and Boys
A. M. CHESLEY, Editor. Illustrated, cloth, $1. A book of nearly 300 plans and programs for cheerful occasions, gathered from all available sources. All the material has been successfully used.

The New Boy's Leather-Stocking
By Ernest Thompson Seton
Rolf in The Woods
Chief Scout Ernest Thompson Seton
Being the Adventure of a Boy Scout with Indian Quonab and Little Dog Skookum in the War of 1812.
When Rolf Kittering crawled out of the window of his little attic room that night to escape his infuriated and brutal uncle, there was no refuge for him to seek except the camp of his chance friend, old Quonab the Indian. The story of his life outdoors, of the fight with the monster snapping turtle, of the journey to the great North Woods, and how the boy came to know the intimate life of the wild creatures, will make any boy's, or man's, heart beat faster with admiring envy.
The most exciting portion of all is where Rolf comes to put his new knowledge into practice as a daring scout during the War of 1812.

You Can't Be a Scout
unless you learn how to use your hands in useful work: Carpentry, electrical work and so on.
You Need a Guide
to show you the way, for all these mechanical matters are easy when you know how, but terribly difficult to puzzle out by yourself.
There's Only One Set of Books
ever published which really does this, so simply and clearly that anybody can understand it. It's called
"The Library of Work and Play"
and its ten volumes tell you all most people ever need to learn about
Carpentry
Mechanics
Electricity
Outdoor Work
Metal Work
Gardening and Farming
Home Decoration
Games and Sports
Housekeeping
Needlecraft

The Boys' Magazine
is unquestionably the finest magazine in the world for boys. Each issue is filled with fascinating stories and absorbing articles all of intense interest to every live boy. Also each issue contains departments devoted to Electricity, Mechanics, Photography, Carpentry, Stamps and Coins. A big Athletic department, edited by Walter Camp is a regular feature. Every one knows that Mr. Camp is the highest authority on this subject in the country. This department is of great value to every boy who wishes to excel in Athletic sports.
It will be of interest to our Boy Scout friends to know that we have recently inaugurated a special department devoted entirely to the BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA. The manuscript and illustrations for this department are specially prepared for us and forwarded each month direct from National Headquarters.

The American Boy
PAGES are given to the Boy Scout movement. Its Editor is a member of the National Council. Ernest Thompson Seton, the Chief Scout, contributes a page for each issue.
And listen to this! You're a bright, up-to-date fellow, you know what's good, and you like the best of everything. But so far, you've missed the best reading--the liveliest, truest, most fascinating reading you ever set eyes on. 500,000 boys now read it.
You're probably used to reading the ordinary magazines that come to the house, or newspapers or books. They are all good, but why not have a magazine all your own, that comes every month to you, addressed in your own name, and that is filled from cover to cover with stories and anecdotes, and illustrated talks and latest news on sports, and--oh, hundreds of things you want to know about--all written by the biggest boys' authors in the country. And pictures! Say there are hundreds of them! Beats sensational trash all hollow!
