THE SMALL BOY
 AND THE FRUIT TREES

The boy who steals fruit is apt to grow up into the man whi, win steal dividends. Nevertheless most men seem to enjoy telling of their youth fu1 escapades. If they can't look back on 8 consistent campaign of strategy by which they located all the fruit trees of the neighborhood, and feasted therefrorn, they regret their AEo1lycodd1e boyhood.
 The viewpoint of the gardener is also worth some attention. Raising fruits and vegetables in his back yard is IS sport. just as much as baseball is to the boy. When some fellows from the next street sink into the ball ground while the boys are away get ting a drink of water, and disappear with the bat, ball and catcher's mask, it is the verdict of the juvenile court that they are sneaks. Perhaps then the kids can realize how the gardener feels when he finds he has lost the fruit of the melon patch or grape vine to which he has devoted a sum mer's labor.
 There does seem an element of amusement in the raid of the neigh borhood youngsters on som cones fruit. The slyness of it, the help 1essness of a mature man in the pres ence of the fleeing legs of a. bunch of husky urchins, all this seems quite humorous. But somehow the owner of the garden is unable to take the joke.
 In many places people have given up keeping home gardens, because 'they see no chance of getting the fruit. Even vegetables are dug up by organized providers. who come with bags at night and replenish their emp ty storerooms.
 All which makes the charming and domestic pursuit of gardening unde- sirablea Is it not too bad? Is not home fruit and vegetable culture a thing to be encouraged? Does it not help many people save some high cost living and promote health and contentment If so, why not tell the boys that stealing fruit is much like stealing baseballs OF nonev2

..sEE AMERIcA FIRsr.,

One of the favorable by-products Of the war in Europe will be the diver sion of the American tourist travel From an economic viewpoint, this current has always been a heavy loss It is always admitted to draw hun dreds 6f millions of dollars away from this country.
 On August 1st Europe practically closed up her hotels and railways, and went intoNthe killing business A good many scuri osity seekers may go abroad next summer, much as a crowd of ghouls assemblies wherever there is a railroad wreck or boiler ex- p1osion But others are likely to Ind Europe in turmoil for years It lis a time which everyone with the money and leisure to travel may well take to famiharize himself with the wonders of his own land.
 The war ought to give every Amer ican renewed respect for his father land. While the powers of Europe have been loading themselves up with the barbarous implements of whole sale murder. America has been mak- ing better highways, lighting it's cities, Irenoving disease by sanitation, and improving it's farm methods
 While Europe will now be destroy ing many match1ess relics of its ven erabl past, America has been erect ing churches and monuments, paint ing pictures and carving statues.
 Much of, this work has been crude. but much of it is very wonderful While foreign powers are working of the cruel levers of barbarism, let us here at home value at its true worth all that our own builders and paint
 CTS and sculptors have done.
 There ought to be now in every
 American heart a greater afection for his own land. It should stand fol him as the land of peace, as the land

THE SECOND BITE

Dear Miss Libbey:
 Please advise me on the following: I am seventeen, considered good look ing Live in a. small place. Boys and girls treat me nicely, yet never ask me to parties or dances. I do not dance, so am a. wall-hower Am not popular, as I do not believe in dancing games they all have. They make fun of me for all this. What ought I to do? Please advise if I am right.
 VIRGINIA ALLEN,
 Memphis, Tenn
 Tne above letter was answered in this column recently. but it is good enough to reprint. as it seems to have missed your attention. Kissing games at parties should not be indulged in. The young girl who refuses to take part in them shows her good sense. Boys will respect her modesty and think all the more of her. Girls may not admit it. yet they cannot help realizing she is right in the stand she takes. Bold young women never win in the long fun

 NnRrs. ADAMS. have heard upon good authority that a child cannot commence it's mu- sicaI training too earIy-as soon as 1t is able to control the vocal cords. Care should be exercised that the tender cords are not strained. MeFodious childish ditties should be selected. Once beginning the training of it's voice, the good work should be studi- ously kept up with care. The child who sings grows up happy, forgetting all care and sorrow.

 This is a helpful work. true char. ftv To aid the destitute to help themselves is the best kind of assist ance. And there will be many des- fttute in consequence of the cheek to certaan activities because of the war. Many Ionzshoremen of New York city are already out of work because or the check upon the city's commerce Often the. mans loss of occupation throws the burden of family support upon the women Whatever pro- v1des employment for them Is pub lie benefit
 It has been reported that many women of ttle and high social stand ing abroad have offered their services to the Red Cross as nurses. While the impulse that led to the proffer is noble and ratrfotdo and a credit to their wonranhOod, the fact remains that nursing is ardnous work and the tenaerly nurtured and inexperienced must soon succurnb to its exactions. War is a grim school. and the inem- cient have no place in army hospitals. Unless they are capable and can be of real service they are an embarrass- nent and a hindrance; if unequal to their task they must be cared for in stead of caring for others

GOSPEL IN TERMS
OF. AUTOMOBILE
Youthful Evangelist, Exer-
cising Muscles Freely,
Talks Straight From the
Shoulder to Men in Shops.

Philadelphians who are interested in
evangelistlc work at missions and shop
meetings in Industrial establishments are
anticipating great results In the future
through the preaching of q tall, strong
and enthusiastic young man who devotes
all his time. when he is not driving an
automobile as a professional chauffeur
to carrying the gospel to brother me-
chanics in the shops and to the unfortu-
mates who crowd into the missions.
And not only during his off-hours does
this everyday workingman think OF the
spiritual welfare of his brothers, for al
most any day he may be seen handing
out pocket editions OF the Gospel of ST.
John. Should bum come along and
beg the price of a drink this chauffeur
puts his hand in his pocket, and, hand
Ing the beggar a copy of the little mes
sage from the Bible, tells him to take
that, since it will be better for him than
money.
The young man is Moses A. Titchenell.
whose home is at 6726 Leeds street, and
who drives an automobile for Colonel
Thomas E. Murphy, of Overbrook He
is member Of the Cooper Memorial
Methodist Episcopal Church. and for the
last two years he has been actively en-
gagged In evangelistic work.
What BILLY" Sunday is to the Ameri-
lean baseballists, Tltchenell Is fast be-
coming to the American chauffeurs. He
first started to preach in the Inasmuch
Mission, assisting George Long. But
lately he has been working In shops and
any place he is called. He has been do
ing much work for the Young Mems
Christian Association, and. through the
cooperation OF the management of auto
mobile houses, arrangements have been
made for MONDAY meetings in the shops.
Titchenell is active when he tells hTs
brother men OF gasoline wagons of the
gospel. Exercising his muscles freely he
talks to the men straight from the
shoulder. He applies freely the auto
mobile terms he knows so we'll. and he
makes it plain If the men want to gain
the life everlasting they must apply the
power For instance. he has been heard
to remark;
Now, boys. listen to this. If you want
to get the high power out of a boat
you know very well you've got to put
the gas In 1t. Just so in your lives. II
you want TO get the best out of 1t, you've
got to live clean and good, You've got
TO put in the power that comes from
good, clean lives such as you can only
live by following the gospel of Jesus
Christ. II you don't follow 1t, some of
these days you're going to hit rock
and you'Il turn turtle over a precipice
and be dashed to pieces down below"
