BEAUTY I; ]. CHATS
The Beauty Of Mind
BY EDNA KENT FORBES

BEAUTY Is NOT SKIN DEEP-at least, II
shouldn't be. One Of the most beau
tiful women I ever knew was fifty
years old; she had wrinkles and
crow's-feet and gray hair and all the
other marks Of that age, but she vas
usually the prettiest woman in any
assewblage. And a lot of this was
because she had read nearly every.
thing good, and was q wonderful
talker.
Her beautiful mind made her face
beautiful. The much-talked-about,
placid.featured, pretty, little nobody
home" type can hold its own for q
time, but in the end the girl that
knows a lot and can talk well Is
voted the most popular. The girl
with the vacant mind ceases to
please soon enough, for even the
dullest man or woman eventually
wants something that can interest
his intellect as we'll as his eyes.
And-which should interest the
beauty seeker even mora bright
mind means q prettier face. The
beauty Of the face is not in its

sion, and q blank expression Is Ger.
tainly not an ornament.
Read q lot-as much as you can
find time to, without neglecting your
daily exercise, your work and the
care of your person. Read the good
standard literature first, till you've
gained an intimate knowledge Of the
best that has been written in each
age and country-and then read the
choice Of the modern literature.
A large order, you will think-but
you've your lifetime IN front Of you.
And when the inevitable time comes,
when massage refuses to hide the
tiny wrinkles and you know that the
first Of youth has passed-well, you
will appreciate doubly the developed
mind and the greater beauty that
cultivation has given you.

From the boys of 16 years of age and
over throughout the country it Is
I'd that under wise leadership sub
sta1fial help can be given to the food
problem through Scout farm camps
Shortage of labor is now acute. 1t
will be worse after one million men
are enrolled for army service.
Veteran Scouts
(see page %, 18th Edition of Hand,
book for Boys.)
We want all scout officials and all
boys who have had five years Of ser
vice to claim their right to wear the
veteran scout pin which has been
finally approved and will be ready for
distribution by June 1.
Summer Camps
1t is sincerely hoped that every boy
will have an opportunity to spend at
least a week or ten days in summer
camp under proper supervision No
better opportunity for developing the
scout spirit and giving thorough in.
struction can be afforded than
through camp life. Many camps will
have boy scout gardens.
As leaders in work for boys we
must not through our neglect to do
our duty be responsible for any in
crease in juvenile delinquency or
wasted opportunities as has proved to
be the case in European countries be-
cause definite thought was not given
to this early in the outset Of the war.
Now is the time 20 provide definitely
for leadership FOR all boys of the
scout age. Let the Boy Scouts of
America take the initiative in this
piece o. service for the good Of boy.

With their bands and fife-and-drum

LONDON, Eng-'Tt's a boy!"

LONDON, Eng-Tt's a boy!"
i Ever since the war effects began to
be felt in England these glad words
have been heard more and more fire.
Quently. And today Sir Bernard NAL
let, registrar general Of vital statistics,
has recognized the glad tidings in his
official report. The war has brought
about an increase In the number Of
boy babies born, as compared with
the number Of girls.
The peculiar thing about these Off
cial statistics H. that they support Q
popular superstition against all the
wise sayings Of the scientists. Every
body has heard that in wartime the
percentage Of boys rises and the per
centage Of girls falls In the birth rec
ords. II IL an old wives tale. It
might even be known as an old mid
wives tale, because 1t has been a
familiar story for centuries. Scientists
have scoffed at 1t. They have pointed
out the undeniable fact that even In
normal times there are more Clarences
born than Clarissas. They have asked
for definite figures, and no figures
were to be had.
Figures confound Scientists
And now comes the most careful set
OF figures In the world to confound
them. The silly old superstition is
apparently right. The scientists were
wrong. As for the reason, nobody
knows.
In the first full year Of the war 49,
900 fathers were made proud by the
announcement that "1t's q boy" A
goodly percentage Of these announce
ments were received In dugouts or
trenches, In Flanders or in Mesopo-
tamia, because not every Tommy can
arrange TO be back In England when
the great event IL expected But In
comparison with these Ale, 5000, only
100 200 girl babies arrived. That ID,
for every 1000 girls 1040 boys were
born.
More Boys Than Girls
By themselves these figures don't
begin to prove anything. But divide
the births into quarters Of the year.
In the first quarter, ending March,
1915, the war effects had not yet be-
gun to make themselves felt. The re-
suit In the birth records is, for every
1000 girls only 1852 boys. In the June
quarter. which was partially affected
by the war, the percentage rose to
1913 boys for every 1000 girls, and for

Mr.. James E. West, Chief Scout Ex-

: The prime service Of our country
in this war is ships and food, and we
can here display the true American
spirit at great efforts.
In order to provide the food neces.
sary We must from this moment ell
mate all waste and stimulate
production at every point. We must
send to our Allies more wheat, corn,
beans, meat, bacon and lard than wa
have ever sent before II their men
are to fight end their women and chill
dren to live; and our people must
economic and eat other things.
Among these lood-stuffs couldntI
the scouts take as their own province
the stimulation Of bean production,
for there is not only q great shortage
at Europe and at home. but they are
the best Of loods. Let them help
make America able to export ten
times as many beans as she ever ex'
ported before. To do this, let the boy
scouts see to it that they are planted
everywhere, so that the biggest bean
crop ever known shall be the bean

America and her allies.
