Rev. H. 3. ziesler Launches Pro-
ject for the Boy Scouts

Rev Howard n, zieeler missionary
priest of the Episcopal church who
has been stationed i'm the copper
country for several months dur.rs
which time he has assisted in the or
sauizat.ou OF several truups of Bo5
Scouts. has mauguratcd "a movement,
which he hopes Will become statewide
and nationwide FOR Tho more general
observance OF Good Friday, especially
boy the boy scouts.
The Significance oI Good Friday, the
anniversary of Christs death. is IRE
Quently lost sight of 10y Christian peo-
4 pie, Rev. Zicgler believes
When a. president OF the United
! States dies during his term OF office,
al the time ot his funeral there is a
/ general cessation OF business FOR Il
lew moments throughout the country;
/ the country is silent out OF respect Tor
his memory. when the president OF Al
great railway system dies there is
cessation OF business in its shops and
offices for a few minutes al the hour
of his funeral; the system is silent out
OF respect Tor his memory. The vet
Grams OF the Grand Army observe a
few minutes silence at noon on Me
n.urIU Day in commemoration OF
the death OF their comrades. II is the
worlds way OF showing respect There
is nu expression of recognition or
lommemoration Of the sacrifice and
death ot the worlds saviour by the
great Christian world II observes

COMMUNICATION of His resurrection;

FOR mu.utud,s 1T people who cali
themselves Christians. who believe in
christ who honor His memory ana
trust m His atonins death, there is n

death which at all corresponds with

Where Women Count.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Where Women Count,
oh wish were q man." I heard
q girl say the other day. .'they count
Tor something In the world. When
women want il only q secondary con-
sideration.'
Now it seems to me that this girl
expressed a rather common point Of
view among women, and a distinctly
wrong one. Women don't realize their
own Influence: they don't realize how
largely the world Is run for them.
For one thing, newspapers are writ
ten for women The big advertiser Ii
looking for the newspaper with the
largest number OF women readers. and
as the advertiser pays about five
times al much toward the production
OF the paper as the reader, the editor
must try tor please the advertiser by
pleasing women.
Hotels are built for women. Go

furnished with reference to q mans
convenience, while the average hotel

what do I mean by that? Well. for
