The British court is known as the
Court of St. James because the official
residence of the king of England was

of William III TO the year 1897, in the
reign of Victoria. In that year the

court still resides at the squat and
ugly edifice of st. James, and levees
and drawing rooms continue to be
held there in support Of the legal fic-
ton. The name of ST. James appears
in connection with the present cdifice
because Il hospital for lepers was Oc-

dedication to st. James the Less. In
1882 Henry VIII took over the proper

PROFIT IN MUNICIPAL FARM
Springfield, H., Made Money After
Supporting Prisoners and Aiding
Latters' Families.

In Springfield, Ill.,, the sum Of
SI29.15 in cash was realized from the
municipal farm in addition TO the
keep of prisoners and 4 considerable
quantity of vegetables for prisoners
families, according to q report issued
by City Prison Keeper Henry Mes
ter, who had charge Of the farm. Ap-
proximately 400 bushels of corn were
raised on the 20-acre tract near the
water works. The grain was sold to
the police and fire departments for
the horses. In addition TO the corn,
vegetables raised, such as potatoes,
onions, cabbage, beans and other
garden stuff brought $3.50.
Aside from the money earned, Mes
ter declares the experiment has worked
out to the great physical and moral
terefit of prisoners who, if it had not
been for the prison farm, would have
been confined all summer, or at least
a great part of ii, in the "bull pen at
the city prison. Commissioner Roy K.
Reese, head of the department Of
health and public safety, is well
pleased with the plan.

Safety Clothing" for Workers

The insurance companies which
sign blanket policies for employers
liability in big factories find that most
Of the accidents for which they have
to pay compensation are caused by the
clothing of the workman catching in
some revolving gear or wheel. Some
projecting fold or slackneSs in the
clothing catches first and an arm or a
leg Is drawn after 1t. At the instance
of these companies so called safety
clothing" Is being designed to mini
mize this danger. Not only are all
unnecessary folds removed. but neces-
sary aprons, smOcks, etc, are being
made so that if caught in the machin-
cry they tear apart. instead of drag
ging the wearer after them. This re-
suit is achieved by using snap fasten-
ings instead of sewing the parts Of
the garments together.

Daniel Carter Beard, national COM
missioner of the Boy Scouts of Amer

urging them to see to IL that "all
Scouts live up to the Scout oath"
Mr.. Beard says: 1--WE want this to be

about a real Scout. One of the old
Scouts, a faithful friend Of ours, has
recently hit the trail over the Great

what would have happened to anyone
in the olden days had they ever limited

Ours is no ring-arOund-a-rOsy game.

SCOUTS PLANT IT'S ACRES.

On the high hills overlooking Lake
Michigan the Scouts of Manlstee, Mich,
have a farm of over 175 acres, all
planted in beans. Herbert Hoover has
asked the Boy Scouts Of America TO
make the raising of beans for the sol
diers their especial task. The work
on this bean farm is done with six
teams of horses and one tractor, all
donated by the town people. The
planting has been done by hand as
the country is too hllly to plant with
machines. The boys who are working
on the farm are camping at the edge
Of the lake.
The boys are. trying TO earn the
money for the development of the
Scout movement in the city. The local
council borrowed money to prepare the
land and do the planting. They believe
that the Scouts will be glad to enjoy
the advantages of scouting, knowing
that il was the sweat of their brOwS
which gave them the privilege.

A Common Error.

One of the most common errors, no.
ticeable in gardens, is Overplantine
with trees of ultimate large size and
spread. This evil can seldom be rem
edied except by removal Of some Of the
lot and this job is too often left until
some or all are out of shape, crippled
or under-developed in parts, so that
several years are necessary for grad
ual resumption of normal form and
outline. Leave lawns as open spaces
and plant trees only as border growths
and then. if in after years the latter
grow together the effect still is not
bad, often is good, and the open glade
of lawn is still inviOlate.
