slider it a privilege or nuisance to
belong to it, as long as they con-
tribute. There is a good reason,
then, why the leaders of such an as
ISOLATION should put forth every eff
fort to increase its membership, to
enroll every one who can afford to
pay the dues. 1t is worthy am
bition.
But what about organizations that
have no such purpose, that have
for their object the banding together
Of certain people interested in the
cultivation of a certain ideal, or in
the carrying on of certain education
al, or cultural activities? Let us
take a concrete example: the frater-
nal order of Bnai Birth.
Every lodge in the country is
animated by the ambition to in
crease its membership. From time
to time campaign is started,
large net is spread out by the work
ers, and big haul is made all
kinds Of fish and of all sizes. The
stimulation for such energetic mem
ber-catching activity generally
comes from above, from the head
quarters higher up And what is
the result? People are often induced
to join, who have not the least in
terest in the organization, who are
not in sympathy with it's ideals and
its work, or are entirely indifferent
to them, who, having been initiated,
fail to put in another appearance as
long as they are members and even
forget their obligation to pay their
dues regularly and promptly They
are absolutely dead timber, nay,
even a burden upon the organiza-
ton, for the lodge, having them on
its membership roll must remit the
fixed portion of their dues to the
grand lodge for it's activities,
whether they pay their dues or not.
why then this craze tor ever more
and more members? The fraternity
and we use it only as an example
was primarily organized not for
the purpose of raising money for
the support of certain institutions or
certain activities. Far be it from
that. It was organized to foster
Jewishness, Jewish brotherhood,
Jewish culture, and other Jewish
and American ideals. The institu-
tons and the philanthropic work in
which it is now interested are in
cidtntal. And whenever money is
needed in this country for philan.

However, as the melons have to be grown under climatic conditions that produce quick and early development, and as the best melons will not stand long trans shipment it seems as though there were little else for the farmers to do to supply the demand than what they are doing. unless, of course, a Burbank arises to do TOT the canteloupe and watermelon what the actual Burbank did for the blackberry
 Before the demand for melons became so great, farmers used to try every means 10 Keep from coming about the very thing they are now encouraging. Melon growers would not permit pumpkin os squash to blossom on their farm. Great care was taken to keep bees and other insects from carrying the pollen from pumpkin blos- soms to the blooms of the melons, as it was known that the mixing of the pollen produced a tough stringy flesh in the melon, and the taste was more or less fiat like the raw pumpkin.

growers prided themselves on the purity of their melons.
 Bees are now kept on large melon farms to carry the pollen from one blossom to another, and when squashes and pumpkins are planted here and there through the nelds, of course the busy working bees gather the pollen from the pumpkin bloom ana scatter it among the melons. It is necessary to have the bees, as there is sex m melons as well as in anything else and .o produce an abundant crop the pollen has to be carried from one to the other. put the deliberate pumpkin and squash cross threatens to produce melon that cannot be bred back to it's former sweet ness and crisp tenderness, such as was to be had in the virgin melons of a few years ago.
 Unless there is heroic effort on the part Of careful experts, we shall actually lose our luscious melons and we shall he compelled to eat goards and squashes in their stead.

By JOHN R. TIMMONS. The Well-known Horticultural Expert

T'HE increasing demand for melons
 and particularly the muskmelon, or
 canteloupe- is threatening to con- fine the real article only to those who can afford luxuries. During recent seasons there have been many complaints from the people at large that the melons they bought at reasonable prices did not have the flavor or tenderness of those few years back. The reason for this is in the methods used to get a quickly growing, hardy enough crop to supply the demand.
 This has been done in many cases by crossing the melon with a certain variety or squash and pumpkin. This has pro- duced solid, firm feshed melon that will stand shipment, but in the process of cross ing the new melon has lost much of its flavor and its flesh is apt to be stringy. 10 Star Company.

stead, they run about as playfully and tease each other as consistently as puppies, until they are tired. I never excuse my boys from this quarter of an hour of naked play un- less they are seriously i'll. I have trained them to believe that it is as necessary a part of the days pro- gramme as brushing their teeth.
 T teach my children to respect the human body and to be uncon- scious of it save to keep it clean. I do not believe in body worship. I do not believe in giving the body undue prominence by excessive athletics. am training them only to be ath- letic enough to be healthy"
 Lady Constance Richardson's ideals or moral training are not based upon rellglon. never go inside cnurch, she says. But I want my boys to believe that it is their duty and pleasure to make those about them happy"
 The titled dancer announced that she wished to found a group school in the Highlands of Scotland for ten boys, her own to be included in the group. My husband and I have very little money" she said. When l have earned enough to maintain this school I will stop dancing"
 Her theories of education she summarizes thus: q am bringing up my three sons to be perfect men. Bringing up children is striving tow ard an ideal. My ideal of a perfect man is one whose brain and body and character are equally strong. The perfect man is Natures best ex. ample of balance. His body is strong and handsome, with no muscle de veloped at the expense of others. His brain is active and we'll trained without the extreme intellectuality that makes an overdraught upon the body. His character is clean and me and immovable as to principle, Such is the harmonious individual. the perfect man. l would not have them geniuses. Geniuses are mon- strosities"
 The dancer mother expressed her hopes that her boys might always i've i'll the country. But in the un- fortunate emergency that they may be compelled to live in town I have prepared them for it." she said in one of her educational conversa- ziones.
 How" hopefully asked a practi. cal American present.
 By their morning nude games" was the reply. "That will make them strong. l am preparing them against possible town life by making them healthy"
 But a-er-special training-for something"
 Practical Americans hesitate to speak such crudities as the phrase learn a living" to British titles, though many British title pays a visit here for that sole purpose, of earning living by marrying.
 "Oh, l shall let them study what ever gives them pleasure" Lady Constance replied.
 T only want them to be har- moniously developed. I want them to be perfect men,"
 But this hard, material world has formed the habit of asking about a man who must earn his bread not What is he?" But What can he do?"
 It is pertinent then to this world question to ask about the boys trained by Lady Constance Richardson's curious system: What can they do?" For it is the worlds edict that we must do or starve.
 And now with their father dead their father who would certainly at the right time have asserted his au- thority and made them more fit for work-a-day world-what will be- come of them?

ENGLAND STILL HAS FASTEST
TRAINS AND LOWEST FARE

London, Oct. 23.-In spite Of war
. time economics and alterations in rail
Way time tables, England still has the
fastest trains, the longest nonstop
runs, and the lowest fares in the
world, according to the Daily Chron-
icle.
The fastest train for a fair dis
lance it is explained, is the morning
express from London to Bristol, which
makes this run OF 1882 miles daily
in 120 minutes, A special test trip
over this route was made several years
ago in exactly 81 minutes.
The longest nonstop run is by the
Cornish Express, London to Exeter,
ia miles in $50 minutes. The cheap
est fare is a round-trip excursion rate
between London and Skegness, which
offers a 262 mile trip for 70 cents, or
about u cent per mile.
