DOING ONE GOOD TURN A DAY
Spirit Of HeIpfuIness That Is Very
Generally Lived Up to by
Boy Scouts.

At home or away from it the Boy
Scouts, of whom there are now Or
CARNATIONS in practically every city
in the United States of more than
1000 inhabitants, must edo one good
turn a day."
Here are some of the good turns
they did last year: Five hundred
and forty-eight Boy Scouts from
nearby cities helped the veterans at
the reunion at Gettysburg-acting
as guides, erecting tents, running er-
rands and helping to care for the
sick; Boy Scouts helped to carry
household goods of flood sufferers
in Ohio to high ground, and in many
cities they collected funds for the re-
lief of victims of the floods; Scouts
have helped in cleanup" campaigns
in Harrisburg, Pa; Buffalo and
Yonkers, N. Y; Richmond, Va, and
other cities; they have aided in ex-
terminating flies and mosquitoes in
many communities; they made it
possible for seventy blind people to
hear Admiral Peary lecture in New
York by escorting them to and from
the Museum of Natural History. In
many other ways they have shown
the spirit of helpfulness that their
organization teaches.

NOT MUCH "pRoFIT" IN PLAY
Unsuccessful Author Had Figures
Right, but He Didn't Know All
the Facts In the Case.

From an incident that Victor
Hugo jotted down in his notebook,
some seventy years ago, we may con-
clude that the dramatists of that day
more often received fame than any
more material consideration as a re-
ward for their work. And not infre-
quently even fame was withheld.
"Monsierr Sanity" Hugo wrote in
November, 1874, sis former secre-
tary of Theirs. He has written a
tragedy called Count Egmond;' it
is very fiat. The piece is played ; not
cat in the theater, and not a sou
in the box office. After three per-
formances the tragedy disappears
from the repertory of the Odeon.
Furious, the author runs TO the di-
rector, NJ. Lireux.
"'Sir,' he cries, you have stopped
playing my tragedy
dyes the director replies.
"'WhyY
"Because it brings in no money.

only 100 francs less than the receipts

TENNIS UNDER ARC LIGHTS.

At the Mohawk Golf club, Sche-
nectady, N. Y, the tennis courts
have been equipped with large elec-
trio lamps mounted overhead to per-
NIT of night playing without the OBJ
jections generally obtaining on a
court lighted by lamps placed around
the side lines. Not only are the light
sources thus removed from the field
of vision of the players, but the
amount of electricity necessary to
produce adequate illumination is
considerably less than has been re-
quired for lighting by the other
method. The new tennis court in
stallation consists of four 1,OO0-watt
tungsten lamps arranged 2S feet
apart along the center line of the
court. The lamps are equipped with
rehectors having special skirts which
conceal the lamp flament except
when viewed from directly beneath.

Retiring Director Of the Philadelphia
Mint Tells Of immense Sums Paso-
Ing Through His Hands.

The director Of the United States
mint in Philadelphia, Mr.. lands,
has just resigned after serving for
twelve years. In commenting on
the fabulous wealth that has passed
through his hands Mr.. Landis states
that it consisted of $11, 100000 in
cents, 100000 in nickels, $780,
100000 in silver dollars, halves,
quarters and dimes, and ,000,-
900 in gold. The entire coinage to-
tails $462, 100000. To give one
better idea of the quantity of this
bulk, Mr.. Lands said it would tax
the capacity of 6s3 cars of twelve
tons each. 1t would be impossible
to haul this vast sum with fewer
than eleven locomotives, which would
mean that each would have to pull
about sixty-three cars. These cars
in one train would extend about ten
miles. There was exactly $415,000,-
600 in coin and gold bullion in the
mint when Mr.. Lands turned it over
to his successor. The largest amount
at the mint at any one time in the
last twelve years was $452,000,0 900.
This was in the Roosevelt admins
tration.

CUT THEM ALL OUT.

Chicago officials say the woman on

officials are mum as to the franchise
rights of the man on the town. they
say that women who practice immoral
ity ought not to vote and most OF US
will agree with them; but if an i'm
moral woman shall be denied certain
rights Of citizenship because Of her i'm
morality what excuse shall we give
for the injustice that protects her male
contemporary. If immoral life is bar
to franchise, why fix it firmly against
the woman and leave a cat hole for
the male immoralist? Why not clean
out the whole rotten bunch?
Getting away from Chicago and
back home, why do we drive the scarlet
woman from the streets while we greet
the scarlet man smihngly? Why should
we smile and sneer if We are men and
glare stonily if we are women at the
woman whose reputation is lost and
whose character is blown upon as she
passes us on the street when we stop
to shake hands and chat with men
whom we know to be no better than the
woman? What's the matter with US?

As TO GOVERNMENT BULLETINS.

Frederick K. Moves calls attention
to vast stores of educational material
hidden in government reports, many
of which," he says, gives no indication
from their titles of their value
Tons and tens of reports. bulletins
and miscellaneous documents are
turned out daily by the Immense PRINT
ing plant of the government. Con-
sress and the congressional commit
tees are constantly having documents
of various kinds printed for general
distribution. Every department and
every bureau in the departments has
its own publications. frequently
amounting to millions Of copies an
nual for each office.
The question Immediately arises why
is this valuable information thus hid
den? Why shouldn't the title offer
some indication of it's value? Why
print tons and tons of reports if they
are not to be read and the knowledge
they convey disseminated?
The government departments need a
press man who can put this hidden
information into popular shape and
thus bring it to the homes and the
farms and the interests it is intended
to benefit. A mass Of figures is in
comprehensive to the average man. He
will not take the time to extract the
value from them, even if he is able to
do so. What is needed IS to send this
information forth in such shape that
the common reader may understand
and absorb it. The average report is
unread. If it were Invested of it's tech
nicalities and put into readable
story" it would be widely read and
deliver the information the government
is anxious to make general.
The bureau of education is doing
just that It's matter regarding schools
tell the story so that he who runs may
read and every one reads as he runs in
this country. The government bulle-
tins should be as plain as the news
after some newspaper man has rewrit-
ten them into a fern that the avera ge
reader, who is the average person, is
attracted by and can assimilate readily.
