when Columbus discovered America.
DR.. Wildwood Murray visited this
unusual canyon about thirty years ago,
and upon viewing these wonderful
trees, was at once struck with the pos
sibilities of using them for ornamental
purposes. He gathered their seeds,
shipped them to seedmen throughout
the country, also to Europe, and today
there are hundreds of thousands of
these palms.
Visitors used to dig up the young
palms and carry them away to adorn
their gardens, but this was stopped
about fifteen years ago, when this re-
markable canyon and several minor
palm groves Immediately adjacent
were set aside as q national reserve.
Visitors to Los Angeles marvel at
the slender, towering palms that are
to be found in private gardens. Some
are still hale and hardy that were
planted shortly after the founding of
the pueblo in 1881. Many of them
rise to a height Of 100 feet and it is
surprising how they weather the
strong winter winds without being
snapped in two or blown down, for
their roots are neither deep o wide
spreading. These palms belong to an
other species, native to Lower Call
fornia, but those of lower growth and
far greater girth are true Californians.
Pride of Los Angeles.
The two oldest trees In Los Angeles
stood near the River station of the
Southern Pacific and when the rail-
road company decided to use the land
for building purposes, they allowed q
wideawake real estate dealer to move
the palms to a new subdivision near
Santa Monica. The experiment was
watched with great interest. Unfortu-
nately, as they were being raised from
the wagon on which they were being
transported, the tackle parted and the
veterans were broken.
The most notable and successful ex-
ample Of moving old palms, however,
was accomplished by John McLaren.

it is not too much to say that If the figures were
available to make such a comparison possible, 1t
would be shown that there have been published
in the last two years more copies of the Hand
book for Boys" than all the standard stories for
boys published during the same period.
Such a fact becomes more significant when 1t Is
understood that the Handbook for Boys" is real"
ly a book of facts. Scoutcraft; woOdcraft, wild
life and conservation; campcraft; health and en-
durance; chlvalry, first aid and life-saving patr1o-
tism and citizenship, are the subjects treated.
All are presented in a picturesque way that COM
mands the attention of the most red-blooded OF
boys. That he takes 1t all seriously is evidenced
by the fact that increasingly there is appearing
among us a new kind of boy, Injured to hardship
and the doing of the difficult; enthusiastic in his
purpose to keep himself physically strong
mentally awake and morally straight; y nobly
chivalrous in his regard FOR others; eagerly will
ing to do his duty as a citizen in his community
as often as he has opportunity.
In a word, the Handbook for Boys Is a book
boys live by. In establishing such a book ms our
country's most popular juvenile, the Boy Scouts
of America have developed a power for upbuiId-
ing boyhood, as influential for good as in the past
the Ubiquitous thriller has been influential for

Y THE past seven years thousands Of
town and cities in all parts of the Unit

program as a means of developing their
boys into manly men, and the success
of their efforts is shown by the fact
that today there are over 10000 Boy
Scouts in this country.
The movement has been Endorsed by

WORTHY While Reading.


It is the purpose of the Boy Scout movement to
give educational value and moral worth to the
boys instructive equipment, chief of which is the
play instinct. Broadly speaking, the boy spends
his leisure time either in outdoor diversions, or
indoors reading. In one instance, it is the boy in
action, expressing himself through his manifold
play activities; in the other, a boys body is at
rest, but his mind still goes on under the domino
ton of the play instinct, so that, after all, the
boys recreational reading interests are only an
other manifestation of the play instinct and
should be reckoned with from the same point of
view.
In n word, If 1t is important to give direction 10
the play instinct in the one instance, it Is equally
important to give direction to 1t as regards
the other; and it Is in proportion as this is done
that good is accomplished by directing the boy
in his play activities. This is why the movement,
IN its effort to understand and guide the boy In
his hours of leisure, has Incorporated In its plans
a reading program. And 1t is the belief of many
that in doing this the movement has made as
valuable a contribution as that which already
makes its leadership the most vitality helpful effort
ever organized for guiding the instincts and ener-
gies ST boys w their early teens.
A book is, for the average boy, a good book In
proportion as there is something doing" This
demand on the part OF the boy for thrill and ex-
element and pep" as the boy would say, is
quite legitimate. What must be insisted upon is
that writers ct boys books be guided in their use

The Scout program has developed many heroes.
Every month the national court of honor awards
letters of commendation ana honor medals to
Scouts who, In grave emergencies, have saved
others at considerable risk to themselves. These
cases are reported in Boys Life, the Boy Scouts
magazine, and serve to inspire many youngsters
Just awakening to the meaning of aitruism.
National headquarters registers every Scout and
protects him in the exclusive use Of the badges
and uniforms which. he works so hard to earn.
1t scrutinizes every application for n scout
masters commission and every applicant must
prove himself worthy to be a leader of boys.
Locally, the close supervision of the work IS
delegated to a local council, provided there are
three or more troops, this, council being composed
of ten or more men who represent every civic
religious and educational element in the com.
munlty.
The Scout program is adaptable to all sorts of
conditions, and 1t fills those hours which are
often wasted, and worse than wasted, by bows
who lack nothing but proper leadership. It teach
es them to serve their community. MANY an nm.

Boy Scouts pays big returns.

HELEN HOLMES FEATURED IN GREATEST RAILROAD
 FEATURE.

Helen Holmes extraordinary adven.
 tures in "A Lass oi the Lumberlands." appr, ach their culmnauon in The h. dian Hand, Chapter XIV of the ex- traordinary MutcalSisnal photonoyel. since the young woman becomes for the first time aware or her actual tile to the name and for,Ule O. oil 'Loliar' Holmes, arch conspi9ator of the lumber trust and bitter opponent of the Independent lumber interests. Of which Jce Dawson, He,en's foster father, is ,ne head.
 Mss Holmes, who is the epitome of action throughout the exciting episodes of the chap,er, is gwen an opportunity in this latest series of events for some very fine acting, and in the scenes be. tN cen herself and the foster br. her, stephen Holmes, who has just dis covered himself to be uameless, she is splend.dly effective.
 One or the most sensaUoaa, epi- sode. il the whole drama is that in which Little Bear leans from a preci- pice into a mountain torrent between precipitous walls of rock in an effort to escape capture of the Gnyrmidons of Holmes, and is fought off from tho jagged rock by Holmes in a desperate eifo 10 insure his ie2th. The plunge into the torrent frcm great height ia specta ular 10 a degree and the strug- gle for life IS so realistic as to suggest that there actually was considerable difficulty in towing the swimmer ashore. Of cou SC the story is begin ing to close and Holmes, whose de- yous operations in lumber and human life have calloused his hear, is face
 to lace with the fru.,s of his own vil- lainy. He is ccafronted with the ne. c'ssity cf telling his sol stephen nat ae is .negitimate, because, through a curious twist of fate, stephen has met and wants to marry He,el Dawson, ac- tgally Helen Holmes, hi half sister.
 It is this little contrete emps which drives he lumber baron to make a clean breast Of affairs to his son, and
 1i this same connection he Is compel cd to ace Helen H-lmes. his dauEhler.
 Miss Homes is confronted with the necessity for perilous travel by canoe .lro.gh rushing rapids by train over insecure bridges, by noun ain tral and motor car, her usual luck carrying her through these various phases of her tourney right sile up with care.
 The mountain scenery ia this tnap- ter S perhaps the most picturesque of the entire drama, which has been characterized by some of the most rugged outdoor scenes ever screened. In one episode Of the play a herd Of deer is seen bounding away from .ha railway track and any wood man hncws when he ees those deer clea

Vermont M. D.'s Adopt Resolution at
Meeting In Burlington.

Burlington-The Vermont State
Committee of the Council Of National
Defense. Medical Section has adopted
a resolution by whist doctors left at
home will divide their fees with those
who go to the front. It was referred
to the National Council Of Defense at
Washington and recommended to the
various county societies Of the state,
The greater majority of Vermont
doctors have families depending upon
them. The committee recommended
that the county medical societies, Of
which there are II In the state, should
adopt a resolution to Lave those doc
tors remaining at home, who attend
the patients of those who volunteer
for service with the armies in Amer
lea or on the other side Of the water,
turn over part Of the fees collected to
the families Of the absent doctors.
The county societies of the state
include practically all Of the doctors
In Vermont The members of the state
committee are Of the opinion that all
of the societies would adopt this reso-
luton and thereby provide for the
maintenance Of the families Of the
physicians who enlist for service.
1t is the opinion of doctors through
out the state that II this resolution
becomes a law there will be many
medical men who will offer their ser
vices Immediately.
The doctors of Vermont are deter
mined to do their part in the present
war. Surgeons and physicians are
needed in great numbers on the Euro
pean battlefelds and in the Hospitals
for the convalescent wounded in
France and England.
