ROOseveIt's Message
to Boy Scouts

IT wish to send this message, not
only to the Boy Scouts, but to ell the
boys of America This prime lesson
that the Boy Scout movement is
teaching is the lesson that manliness
in its most vigorous form can be and
ought to be accompanied by unselfish
consideration for the rights and in
terests of others.
Indeed, ! can go a little further.
/ wish that l could make the especial
appeal to the American boy to re-
member that unless he thinks of 9TH
ers he cannot At himself to do the
best work in any great emergency.
1.-THE names in our history to which
we now look back with pride are the
names Of men who have rendered
great service. This servive may have
been rendered at the same time that
they themselves gained glory or rep
utation. But neither the glory nor
the reputation would have been
gained save as an incident to the
service. In our history there is now
practically no mention of any great
f1nancier, of any great business man,
who merely made money for himself.
IL at some crisis in the nations his
tory that financier rendered great
national service, or IL he identified
himself in useful fashion with some
great movement for good, whether In
art or philanthropy or otherwise,
then his name remains. But even
under these conditions 1t remains as
Of secondary value.
'The two greatest men in our his
tory are Washington and Lincoln.
They possessed great ability, great
intellect, and especially great sanity
of mind; but 1t was the fact that
they each possessed the highest char
acter, character both very strong
and very unselflsh, which gave them
their pre-eminence over their fellows.
There have been very able and very
INSCRIPTIONS statesmen In our his
tory. But not one of them has ever
come within ever measurable dis
lance of the achievements of Wash
ington and Lincoln, or of the repu-
tation of Washington and Lincoln;
and this precisely because they We're
INSCRIPTIONS, because they lacked
character.
THE boy is not worth anything II
he is not efficient. I have no use Tor
mollycoddles, have no use for timtd
boys, for the sissy type Of boy

Lacy. Dainty
Affairs Are They

of bed Jackets and leisure gowns of
all degrees of fantasia and extrav-
agance. Their most practical type Of
deshabille, II one can use the word
practical" in connection with any
thing as airy and degage as a Pa
risian negligee, is sort of house
dress that can be put on for break
fast and kept on for luncheon If one
does not feel like dressing during the
morning. These gowns are rather
simple In line and not too fragile in
color and material. For example, a.
charming deshablle of this type made
recently by Bechoff-David was of
coral-pink corduroy with a lace frill
set inside the collar, lace UNDER
sleeves and a deep of fiounce of the
lace set on at the low waistline, CIV
ing the effect of one of the new far
ing peplums. The collar was open in
a deep V at the front, but ran up
high at the back into a standing
turnover collar. The color and the
material were rather misleading. for
on first seeing 1t one could not feel
sure whether It was an afternoon
dress or an evening coat

Tango Petticoat

The all-pervading dance has given
its name to a silk petticoat slit high
UP the back and furnished with a
fiounce scalloped round the edges and
finished with a narrow killing. The
garment is in all the new colors, In
Guiding very vivid tangerine. Those
for day wear are in silk or satin.
Others for evening dress are in crepe,
silk voile or lawn, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
The return of the petticoat was not
unexpected, and the rage for the
tango has precipitated It. On the
whole, the dance has acted in whole
some fashion on dress. though skirts
still continue to be very tight and
clinging about the ankles, especially
when made with the exiguous, pointed
train of the hour, which is dragged
after the wearer in a series of
awkward, ungraceful jerks.

the skinny kitten go with the big
tom cat or not. That's what want
to know" And he settled back
among the pillows once more.
Dorothy couldn't help smiling.
Davie was a funny little fellow, al
ways fiaring up over something,
and promptly forgetting 1t the
next minute. Sometimes she found
fun in teasing, but today she de-
cided to be merciful So, after
chuckling softly, she went on:
Well" said Tom once more,
what do you think? There is GER
tainly nothing to make you want
to stay in this old alley, is there?'
Moo said the thin little
kitten, only rye never been out of

Tom arched his back and purred.
Come on, then. That's no reason.
Why, inside of two weeks you'll be
so big and happy and plump that
that-that I won't even be able to
call you Skinny, but will have to
think UP a new name
He looked so happy and tri-
umphant over this that the thin
little kitten oheered up and said.
I'll come, then
Now, you're talking cried Tom,
let's hurry. I'm hungry. I haven't
had thing to eat since noon, and

And l. replied the thin little
kitten In thin little voice,

Dorothy paused for breath: could

Dorothy looked at her brother in
horror. her blue eyes very wide
open.
That was a wicked, wicked thing

starve a cat II you have anything to

hastily; IT just wanted to see what
you'd say"
Dorothy doubted this, but thought
it best to drop the subject. She
took a long breath, cleared her
throat and began again:
Tom led the way through the
alley. circling around barrels and
boxes that blocked his way, stop
ping to defy stray dog that came
rather near, picking his way care
fully over the dirty stones, for he
was a very refined cat, and never
liked to get his paws dirty. Skinny
followed him, full of admiration and
gratitude. picking his way as Tom
did, but hiding behind barrel
when Tom stopped to spar at the
dog.
"'why did you do that? Tom
