OPEN FIRE MADE ATTRACTIVE
Manufacture of Electrical Logs May Be
Said to Have Been Brought to
Perfection.

Electrical fire logs. which have been
used on the Stage for several years, are
now available for other uses. These
fire logs are made of imitation wood
consisting Of three or more logs nat
uraIly grouped for interior fireplaceS
and outdoor camp-tireS. The logs are
Of translucent material anu asbestos.
re-enforced with metal. and are made
hollow for the insertion of electric
bulbs. The bark and cut ends Of the
logs are artisticaly designed and
hand painted To give the natural APP
pearance of partially burned logs.
BY properly shading the translucent
and opaque parts and providing for
reflection from below, the logs when
illuminated glow with the natural
bright and darker shading Of burning
VOC! logs. The fire logs can also be
obtained in the form of large wood
log ~fth imitation ash heap, foG large
ol2-fashioned Replaces.

AMONG THE SCOUTS.

A Scout must he cheerful. no mattA
what he is up against. He must play
the game" and play it with smile
on his face, no matter how serious the
problem may be which cOnfrOntS him !;
like the Canadians in this present war,
who are said to enter the terrible bat
files with a laugh. kicking a football in
front of them. until the piS-skin alights
on the heads OF the eppmy!
The number Of thipgs which a boy
can do and the thoroughness with
which he can do them have been Of
tener minimized than magnified. No
boy ever went 10 the bad except Ia
protest against parents who failed 10
provide productive activity in proper
form.
When Scout accepts duty. he
does it Checrfully because he knows
that he Is going to perform the duty
successfully. Whatever enterprise he
enters into he does IL with the convic-
ton and belief he Is going 10 win. and
he does it with grin because he Is
gong 10 WIN.
Down in NatcheZ. Miss. Scouts erect
ed permanent camp near their gar
den and detailed members to work ev
cry evening at six o'clock. Each Scout
serves once week. They have four
acre plot ard have offered their crops
TO the First Mississippi regiment.
A result to be hoped for is the real
ization on the part of the educators
and leaders in work for boys that the
Boy Scouts Of America have demon
strated that their program Of service
through organized effort Is the most
practical method for the teaching and
expression OF patriotism and training
for good citizenship.

TREES NEED PLENTY OF ROOM
Should Be Planted Far Enough Acart
For Them to Become Perfectly
Developed Specimens.

If you own your place the first thin:
sou wish to do is 10 plant trees ans
shrubs. because these take years To
mature, and naturally you do not want
to lose a year. They are the only
permanent elements in the garden anu
they cost more in the first place than
seeds. bulbs or pcrcnnialS. Therefore,
here is your great chance Ia make n
success or to spoil the effect of your
place and waste Il lot of money. Here
are some good rules:
Save money by planting your ave.
nue. trees Ear enough apart for them
10 become perfect specimens. Nearly
everybody plants too close. Measure
the spread of the best specimens in
town of the species you want. Try
10 get all the people in your block to
plant the same kind of tree. Don't
plant silver naples, box elders ar
Carolina pOplars. Their beauty is
short lived. The elm is the quickest
growing of the long-lived avenue
trees.
Save money by not planting a use
less hedge across your front yard. A
hedge is never cheaper than a fence,
nor can you expect it to be as effective
in keeping out animals. A tall,
thOrny hedge, like Usage orange, is
bad thing for suburban place.

Business Men Educate City.

The chamber of commerce of York,
Pa, believes that its main function n
to educate the people of York to the
need of better things. 1t is at present
devOting its educational efforts to the

Is the man of tomorrow" An infor-
nation folder has been issued by the
chamber which shows how the work is
being done. Prominent business men
have been asked to make ten-minute
addresses on civic topics in every
school building in the city of York and
its suburbs. The folder contains sug-
gestiOns for talks, and gives list 81

100 men are assisting this year.

REDUCING Fire Hazard.

1t is of the utmost consequence that
every individual in the United States
consider himself committee of one
to cooperate in the removal of all un-
necessary IRE hazards that may come
within his knowledge The urgency of
this cannot by any possibility be cN-
aggcrJtcd, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. Tie difference between adequate
attention to this warming by every res
ident of our country, and its complete
neglect by all concerned, might very
well be the difference between winning
the war and losing il. And while Uf
course this figure is an ovcrdrawn one
in the sense that certainly everybody
will not ignore the warning any more
than everybody will heed it. this fact
does not in any degree diminish the
measure of individual responsibility.
Everyone of US can contribute some
thing TO the lesSening of the fire loss
for the year to come.
