Four boys from Kristiania entered
a garden in A5er and helped them

begged the policeman to give him a

the. policeman explained that such a
procedure did not belong to his pro-

into court.
A short cable announced some time
ago that Captain Roald Amundsen
had to postpone his intended expedi-

the reason that he had no expert

to have been correct. The Norwegian
government, backed by such authori

greater stress ought to be laid than
ever on scientific investigation OF
the currents and the ocean life of the
Arctic regions. Hence it was felt
that the man who is to conduct this

Get three quires Of moss green tissue

top two and half inches wide.
Beginning at the bottom, sew the
fringe around the cloak. allowing it to
reach just to the edge Of the cloth.
Above the first row Of fringe and

bringing its lower edge within two
inches of the bottom edge of the first

In this way put on row after row Of

THE, CONSERVATION OF QUIZ
YOUTH
(By Miss Ella Ednaln

| (By Miss Ella Edman)
II we peruse any Of the leading pe-
riodicals Of the time. we find them de-
voting a great deal of space to the
conservation Of natural resources. The
protection Of the forests, coal fields,
water power and other great public
utilities are problems of the day.
The government is paying large
number Of men, not only to protect
these resources from waste and de-
struction but to discover means and
methods by which they may become
Of greatest benefit to mankind.
Sometimes it seems that in the
midst of all this zeal and labor for
conservation we are forgetting the
greatest force of all: our resource of
American youth. We are just begin
ming to realize the waste and destruc-
ton of mankind and Womanhood go
ing on about us.

Whe ndirected into proper channels,
will run the machinery of hundreds of
factories, turn thousands of spindles
in the cloth mills, and provide the mo-
tive power for the transportation of
innumerable train loads of produce
and passengers.
What is that, compared to the pow
er which would be exerted for the bet
terment Q Humanity, the publication
of politics and the spiritual uplift of
our nation if the energies and talents
of our American youth were directed
in proper channels?

opinions and desires so far as they
are right
Man is a four.fold being, and the
physical, mental, social and spiritual
faculties must all be trained, in or
Ger to form strong characters
In youth is the time to begin the
conservation Of human power An
adult may turn a new leaf, as we Of
ten say, but how hard a task it be-
comes. "The boy is father to the
man, and as our lives after the age of
twenty or twenty-five are mostly made
