A MERE MANS
VIEWPOINT
The Boy Scouts Of America an
Organization That Every Moth
er Should Be Glad to Have Her
Boy Belong To.
By BYRON WILLIAMS.

"a M OTHER, has the boy scout

I'VE Well, It will strike 1t, and
when It does don't make
william tease. Say yes and be glad, for
the Boy Scouts of America, like the Boy
Scouts of England. Is sure to become
a great factor In the betterment of the
boy. In England the scout Is respect
ed and looked upon as a superior sort
of lad. He Is trusted with important
work and Is seldom found wanting.
The American boy, apt to learn, mas
become interested in the scheme, and
soon all America will feel the infiu-
ence of movement that teaches the
boy to be courteous. to be kind, to help
others, to assist the unfortunate, to
save his earnings and to preserve his
health.
Not long ago In my town there ap-
peared a bevy of boys dressed in stout
military-llke costumes. Each boy bore
an oaken STAFF aud carried a canteen
strapped over his shoulder. They in
formed me they were boy scouts.
"What significance have the knots in
the handkerchiefs about your necksT'
l asked. noticing that two knots wers
tied in each handkerchief.
when we start on a hike across
country we tie these knots" explained
the scout master. "When we do an act
of kindness or of heroism we unite
q knot"
That night saw one of the boys
and asked:
Ibid you unite the knots"
"Yes. sir; we put out a prairie fire
and helped an old lady with basket -
A few days ago l watched boy
I scout reblanket u horse, taking the
blanket from the ground under the
animals feet. During recent village
campaign the boy scouts were intrust
ed with the delivery of certain impor
tant circulars that had to be delivered
at o'clock In the morning. Ten scouts
| did this work, and did 1t thoroughly
One of their laws is to perform duties
honestly. No real scout would Disgrace
himself by sighting his work.
"Since my boy Joined the scouts,

school reports show decided i'm

Is destined to be the greatest construc
tive element in the welfare OF thu

and innumerable things that boys
should know. There is just enough OF
the trail and the woods In the scheme
to hold their interest, while the life out
Of doors gives them good health and
spirits.
Each scout must do something for
somebody every day OF his life. and
he is taught to do this not for money,
but for the better reason, the fellow
ship cooperation reason, the help-one-
another reason. Zach lad must have
bank account before he can join the
scouts. The account may consist Of
but a few pennies, the idea being to
inculcate into the youthful mind the
wisdom OF providence.
There is nothing Of the military
about the movement Mother need not
fear that her boy will be taught to be
a soldier by joining tine scouts, and
vet the very training makes these boys
patriotic.
You may not be particularly impress
ed with this very brief insight into
something radically new in America,
but If you have boy this question OF
whether he shall or shall not join the
movement win be before you sooner OF
later. Therefore It may be well to
heed this article, and 1t will prepars
your mind somewhat for the time
when william rushes In and breath

standards Of education have come In.
Nowadays high class maidens In ia
pan must know something Of occi-
denta. learning 1t is said the en-
press has learned to speak French.
Generally she does not. But It Is a
different matter with Princess Sadako.
She speaks English and French flu
emily. for she Is graduate Of the
famed peeresses' school, which was es-
tablished by the empress to give Jap
anese young ladies the advantages she
had herself missed.
The peeresses' school is sort OF
japanese vassar. Only girls whose
blood is of d certain degree Of blue
ness are accepted as students.
The crown princess Is the daughter
of Prince Kujo, a sort Of relative Of
the emperors. for the heir can marry
only one who Is also of royal blood.
The crown princess has taken up many
of the tasks of the empress, who is
glad to relinquish some of her many
philanthropic and public duties to the
princess.
There Is no new movement that In
terests the women of the western
world that Is not closely scanned
through one of her secretaries by the
wife of the clever and progressive
crown prince. She realizes that the
greatness Of japan to a certain extent
depends upon It's women, and she in
tends that nothing that is good In the
civilizations of the west shall be de
MED her countrywomen. Schools. hos

Packing White Froeks.

Children's white frocks and coats
should always be covered with blue
tissue paper before they are put away
for any length Of time. Blue paper
saves them from turning yellow, as
they would otherwise do after they
have been kept for few months.

Brides are growing very indif-
ferent to the tyrannies Of super
stition In the matter OF their
gowns, and 1t seems likely that
the year 1911 will be notable for
the sweeping away Of many pop
ular old wives tales with re-
gard to toilet.
Green Is not infrequently cho-
sen for the going away costume
in defiance of its alleged unlucki-
ness, and even the bridesmaids
are occasionally either gowned
In green or have some introduc-
ton of this color In their gowns
and hats.
The wearing of gloves by the
bride Is likely to die hard. but
;. there have been several women
of late who have eschewed 1t
bravely, their sleeves being made
. very long and cut into mitaine
points over the hand so as to
take the place Of gloves to cer-
tain extent. 1t Ii certainly cal
