The Secret Of Youth.

After all, the plain truth Is that ad- venture consists less tn the experiences one actually has than in rae indefatiga- ble expectancy with which one awaits them. writes Edgar J. Goodspeed in the Atlantic. Indeed. sometimes fear that people must be divided Into those who have adventures and those who appre- ciate them. And between the two the affinity for adventure is greater treas ure than the experiencing of it. If wG are possessed of the affinity. adventure itself Is. Tt most. just round ths cor her from Us. This opens the life of adventure to sl who crave 1t. What possibilities lie In merely crossing a street. for example, some one re- marked the other day as he dodged across among the motorcars. Why not take n chance now and then and lead n real life for few minutes?"
 therefore recommend the life of ad- venture. II couccives each day as fresh enterprise, full of delightful pos abilities and promise, and so preserves the wine of life from growing fiat.
 Here is the secret of youth.

SCOUTS AIDING HOOVER
Boy Scouts of AmericaD

A Scout who eats corn pOne for breakfast instead of a slice of wheat bread may have no idea of performing a patriotic duty. but upon just such small choices depends the success of the United States in the present strug- gle.
 The president long ago recognized the necessity of producing the maxi mum of food, utilizing all of 1t to the best advantage and preventing waste. For this purpose he appointed Mir. Herbert Hoover as American food ad- ministrator.
 The housewife holds the key to the situation. If each saves pound of bread week for each person In the family, we shall have 100 ,000. 900 bush- els more of wheat this year for our allies. A saving of two cents on each meal every day for each person will save to the nation for war purposes S2,000,0oo,0oo year. Every Scout will be glad to help his mother and the other women who are bearing their share of the burden of war. Even though he prefers toasted wheat bread. he will eat his corn gladly and have the wheat for the allies.
 Even though he likes meat. he will eat his reduced portion cheerfully. re- membering that beyond the seas are Scouts who have not tasted meat for months.
 He will apply the butter more thin ly, and also learn to relish food which contains the minimum of shortening.
 He will ask for vegetables and fruits grown in the home town, for these the railroads do not have to carry.
 He will put on his plate only that which he is sure he can eat, and then clean the plate.
 He will help with the canning and preserving. as we'll as the harvesting.
 With his troop he will cooperate with the local women's organizations which are promoting the plans of the food administration.
 Mir. Hoover has sent this letter to Chief Scout Executive James F. West:
 "I particularly hope that the Boy Scouts of America will take keen in- terest in the work of the food admin

Hats for the Schoolgirls Needs.

Hats that fill in the time between she end of summer and the beginning of winter als obliged to meet the de- mandS of tee weather in both seasons. They must look cool on warm days and hint at warmth on cool days. Light felts and velours, known as summer feits and velours, make their entry with July, and this year have been more enthusiastically re ceived than ever before. The summer shades of those colors which have come to be described as "swenter shades" and these soft tones of gay colors are at their best in soft surfaces like felts and velours. For August and early September wear fashion ap- proves hats of this description above all others Light blue, pale rose and delicate apple green, head the list as favorites so far as color is concerned.
 For school girls, who must be halted by September for fall. darker felts and velours, and velvet hats are in the hands of milliners in August, in an ticipation of the needs of girls going away to school They are very sim ply trimmed and the shapes are grace full and very soft. Nearly all velvet hats have flexible crowns, but the brims are of both klnds-flexible and ''fioppy"-or straight.
 The group of three hats shown in the picture, begins with velour hat trimmed with band and sash of soft and heavy plaid ribbon having long ends, at the left of the group, At the center a velvet-covered hat In back, Is made on soft frame. bound with nar- row grosgrain ribbon and trimmed with a band of wide grosgrain ribbon.

istration. I should like to have them get behind me in my efforts to help out in managing the food problems of the country.
 "I know that they have already as- sisted greatly in stimulating food pro- duction.
 We are planning to ask all of the homes in America to rearrange their methods of living so as to handle the food supply in the most intelligent manner. The Boy Scouts can help out In this by assisting in the enroll ment of be women of the country in the food administration. Our plan is to ask that n pledge be signed and that Il housecard. designed as n United States shield with few heads of wheat about 1t. be put up fin the win dow of each home.
 Many homes will be difficult to reach. If. as the campaign progresses. the Boy Scouts can help us to see where 1t Is not being carried on sue CTS sent there. and in that way get everybody possible interested.
 Where the Scouts are we'll organ ized we hope that they can make a check for us of the homes that are members and those that are not. to assist us in this work.
 Another way in which the Boy Scouts can help is by making study of our plans as they appear. and In trying to see that they themselves. as we'll as members of their family. live up to them.
 "We hope that the scouts will follow the gospel of the clean plate 10 see that they are helped hberally enough to meet all of their needs. but that they do not waste.
 We want the Scouts to protect the wheat of the country ny esting mini- mum of white bread"
 That last Is laying 1t rather heavily on the scouts. Giving up wheat bread isn't in Itself such a hardship. but when one considers that the slice of bread Is mainly used as background for jam or honey. or even the humble molasses then the duty becomes a sac rifice indeed.

He said he sent this message be-
cause he had suspicious that "the rep

who attends Mr.. Lansing's confer

himself as to whether or not his
suspicious were well founded. He had
intended for some time, he said. to
warn Secretary Lansing that Wall
Street news agency had representa-
tives at his conferences.
Before leaving the stand Elliott
said he represented no brokerage
houses and that II was against the

though the Secretary OF War makes
no reference to the present national

tary Of the Navy, 1 have the honor
to forward herewith Q supplemental
estimate of an appropriation Of ST.
573,950, to be Immediately available,

at was impracticabls to submit
this estimate earlier, owing to the
fact that the question Of the estab-
lishmsnt Of q submarine base at the
terminal Of the canal was under con-
sideration BY the joint army and navy
board at the date of the submission
of the regular estimates for 1918, and
therefore the subject could not be
presented intelligently at that time"
