First Pension Fund.

In this country the first pension
fund was established by the city OF
New York for policemen. Since then
many states and cities have enacted
retirement legislation, the number OF
retirement funds has increased to
over 400, and many thousands OF pub
lie employees have been covered Dy
retirement provisions. Although the
expansion of the movement has been
rapid. It has by no means reached Its
limit. AS yet number Of states and
cities have not adopted any retirement
legislation; the 300 pension funds for
police and firemen do not include all
employees Of these two groups; the
100 teachers pension funds cover only
about half Of the teachers, and the re-
manning funds, approximately 4o'
cover only small fraction Of all other
classes Of federal, state and municipal
employees.

AIR UP 10000 FEET COLD
Even In Hottest Weather Aviator May
Be In Arctic Regions After Flight
of Ten Minutes.

Aviators experience many different
degrees Of temperature in their flights.
On the hottest day In summer a flying
man may be in the arctic regions In
ten minutes by mounting to height
of 10000 feet, just as the climber may
pass through all the shades Of temper
ature by climbing Kilima-Njaro, that
giant peak which rises above the snow
line from the equator. He commences
with the tropical jungle and ends
amid eternal snow.
The fact is that the temperature Is
invariably low at 10000 feet and over,
whether at the tropics or the poles,
and it is quite likely to be lowered at
the equator, Airmen we'll know the In
tense cold Of those upper regions, and
they need the rig-out Of Shackleton
If they would mount to 10000 feet
above the earth's surface. In fact,
there is little variation Of temperature
in these upper reaches Of the at
mosphere. 1t is much the same In sum-
mer as winter, except for the differ
ence which high wind makes.
Even in the depth of a hot summer
the airmen will encounter 40 degrees
of frost at 10000 feet, and at twice
that altitude 100 degrees Of frost-the
temperature of the South pole-is not
unusual.

really water scouting; "watercraft" as
contrasted with woodcraft; boat lore
instead Of field lore. In other words
this increasingly popular branch OF
scouting can be, and should be, taken
up wherever there is enough water to
float boat and enough boys to man It.
In carrying out the program the Maui
tical Scouts visit other ships In the vi
.cinity and there become familiar with
the nomenclature, as well as the whole
run Of the vessel. Naval history Is in.
cluded in the program Of work, and as
opportunity affords, Scouth leaders
take the boys on cruises, stopping al
other ports and visiting such institu'
tion as marine museums, navy yards
and famous ships.
Daniel Beard, national Scout com
missioner, has pointed out that the
Nautical Scouts can perform very use
full service in looking for wrecks OF
vessels in distress, noting what vessels
pass and what descriptions of vessels
they are, whether the vessels in the
tofing are freighters or passenger boats
steamers, gasoline launches, cat boats
isloops, schooners, brigs, brigantines
ibarks, barkentines or full-rigged ships

MANS WAY OF DOING THINGS
Mr.. Pickles Gives Demonstration Of
Superiority of His Methods Over
Those Used by Women.

Men who can turn their hands to
any sort Of Job that needs doing are
very useful as husbands. Mr.. Pickles
was one Of these useful gentlemen.
His amiable wife once asked him to
hang picture she had purchased for
the parlor, and he said that he would
do it 'in a jiffy."
"You just get me the cord and a
picture hook" he said to his wife, sand
tell the servant girl to run down into
the cellar and bring up the stepladder
and carry it into the parlor, and
where's those two little screw thing
umrlys that go into the back of the
frame at the sides to put the cord
through? Look them up for me; and
I shall require the gimlet to bore q
little hole for the screws. S.;nebody
get the gimlet, or maybe I can drive
them in with hammer. Johnny, you
run down into the cellar and get the
hammer. Perhaps a chair would be
better than the stepladder. Some
body so out into the kitchen and get
me chair. I don't want to stand on
one Of the parlor chairs. Got that
cord? Just measure off about the right
length, and fasten it to those little
things at the side. There, now; there's
your picture hung up, and no fuss
about 1t. The difference between US
men and you women is that when we
have anything to do we do it, and don't
talk all day about it."

negroes, and among them number
who gained distinction as musical COM

Much Of the music that these men
