Bullet Through Head
But Boy Still Lives
Case Of Johnnie Green, Aged Lie
ven Without a Parallel.

Detroit Mich, October 3O.-Unpa-
ralIeled in the annals of medicine is
what local doctors are saying of the
case of Johnnie Green, IL years OF
age, of this city, who has a hole
straight through his head from tenn
pie to temple, behind the eyeballs,
made by bullet fired Thursday by
his chum Burley Paine, while they
were playing Indian. Such a wound
ordinarily causes almost instant
death. Johnnie is alive and consci-
GUS, and, while his plight is desper-
ate, he may live, and there is a
possibility that he may recover his
sight.

Postal Savings Banks;
Forest Rangers Duties.

Washington, October.-ln view OF
the great number of pOstoffices, thru
their postmasters, and of national
banks, through their officers, which
applied to the Post Office Depart
ment to be designated, respectively
as postal savings banks and deposi-
tories of postal savings, there is
likely to be widespread disappoint-
ment over the action of the Board
of Trustees, under the law, the Post
master General, the Secretary Of the
Treasury and the Attorney General
in designating only forty-eight post
offices. one for each state and the
two territories of Arizona and New
Mexico.
There seems to have been general
lack of accurate information of the
law, and that, with only 100000
appropriated for starter, the system
must necessarily begin in a limited
and experimental way. So it was
decided to make the try-out with
offices of moderate size, those of the
second class. Of the forty-eight
postoffices designated to be postal
savings banks, exactly One-half by
the census of 1900 had a population
of less than 5000, while none of the
other half had over $4,000 popula-
ton. The smaller half comprises the
following cities:
Globe, Ariz.; Stuttgart, Ark; Do
yer, Del; Occur d Alene, Idaho,;
DEBORAH, Iowa.; Middleboro, KY;
Rumford, Me; HoughtOn, Mich;

Good Citizens
OF The Future
Boy Scouts Are Another Evidence
of Back to the Soil" Move
ment

There is nothing but praise for
the Boy Scout movement. Two
hundred thousand youngsters are
enlisted in England alone and the
colonies and various foreign coun-
tries can count hundred thousand
more in the United States Mr.. Thorn
son Seton and Dan Beard have done
yeoman service in arousing interest
through the formers Birch Bark
Roll and the Sons of Daniel Boone,
originated by the latter.
The watch words of the move
ment under whatever name it mar
ches appear to be Discipline and
Self-Sufficiency. So be sure, Mr..
Seton aimed at the development of
woodcraft primarily and Mr.. Beard
appealed to the boys through their
admiration for the pioneer heroes
of our earlier days, but the difference
between the English system and
our own is so slight that the process
of amalgamation 2s to form and
purpose seems to be going on with
little difficulty.
What we are concerned with at
this moment is the renewed evil
dence that the world is realizing
that it must turn back to the out
doors, if it is to find sanity and
health. To spend two weeks at a
farmhouse or a summer hotel once
a year will not do. One must de-
velop the instinct for the open, the
self-reliapce, courage and strength
of body that the open demands.
Too long have we been piling up
the vicious emulation of an artifi-
cial world, and children, educated to
fit it, demanding still more artificial
ity. The greatest world Of all is the
world of Nature, and the sterling
test of a mans underlying qualities
is his ability to adapt himself to this
world. 1t is task that must be
undertaken in no light mood. A
mans strength and a mans will are
demanded.
Merely to turn the boys loose in
the country will not do the trick.
They must be prepared to give what
the country and the wilderness de-
mand if they are to get that which
the country and the wilderness have
to give. 1t is a grand movement
and it is refreshing to note that it
has brains and real influence behind
it.-Outing.

There were recently held, examl'
nations in fourteen far western states
and in Florida, Michigan, Minnesota
and Alaska to fill vacancies in the
position of forest rangers on the
National Forests. These positions
pay at entrance $1,100 per annum
and are graded to $1,000 and up
according to fitness.
The Forest ranger must first OF
all be an experienced and vigorous
woodsman. In the words OF the lit
tie pamphlet which the Department
of Agriculture sends to persons max
ing inquiry, 'Invalids seeking light
outdoor employment need not ap-
ply," He must be sound-bodied'
Injured to hard-ships, able to ride
pack, and take care of himself and
his horses in the woods and noun
tains, familiar with the region and
local conditions where he seeks en-
ployment, and resident OF the
state in which he will be appointed,
Although the requirements are large
ly physical and practical, they In
clude both a sufficient general ed
ucation to qualify the ranger to
transact National Forest business
intelligently, and knowledge OF land
surveying, mining laws and customs
and the handling of range livestock,
In the Southwest some knowledge
of Spanish is often necessary. thus
the Government is obtaining picked
men for the rank and file OF It's
little army of employees who ad-
minister and promote the proper
use of it's nearly two hundred mil
lion acres of National Forests.
