Congress but two weeks off, Admins
tration leaders are concentrating their

keighley has awakened to interna-
uonal fame because it's 1900 inhabi-
tants have voluntarily reduced their
bread ration to the lowest in the coun-
try, namely, 81 pounds, as against 4
pounds per head allowed by the food
controller.
American advertising methods turn
ed the trick in keighley. Posters in
every shop window, advertisements in
the press. innumerable pamphlets-by
these means the entire population had
been drawn into a hearty cooperation
with such astonishing food economy
that the town has been officially held
up as a model for all the United King
dom.
The boy scouts have also been en-
listed in the war on waste, and report
regular all their discoveries of still
useful things cast on the rubbish

organized with a view to granting as

civilians. The horrid Turkish prisons

navigation between Albanian ports
and linking them to nearby Corfu is
encouraged within the limits Of naval
exigencies. Customs Offices with coast
patrols are already in operation and
all the money taken in is spent in Inn

measures are being carried out.
For the better supervision Of the
varied services pertaining to civil ad-

affairs was instituted. IT Is defined
as "the organ through which his excel

The transformation of Avlona
seemed at first beyond human capac-

the hopeless bazaars had once stood.
To the Italians an open spot and leave

7 ITALIAN military operations In AL
bania may or may not bear fruit,
but the benefits Of Italian occupa-
tion VIII prove lasting. In more
than one respect the satisfaction which
Italians have always found in likening
themselves to the ancient Romans is
justified. For the Romans possessed a
certain quality which one can call by
no better name than civiIIzing genius.
Where Rome passed Roman footprints
still linger indelibly, says Edgar Ansel
Mowrer In q letter TO the Chicago
Daily News. Though the empire OF
Trajan Is less than memory, the
Roman road, the Roman bridge, the
Roman building or wall have lasted
long after other later constructions
have crumhled into sand, for the rea-
son that the least of the Roman en-
terprises Incorporated the Roman
idea" one Of the strongest conceptions
European humanity has ever known.
Those old stern soldiers and COVER
nors civilized and embellished the peo-
Piles and lands they ruled. But they
not only built cities and pushed roads
20 the ends Of the earth wherever the
cohorts advanced but more enduring
cities. more substantial bridges and
better roads than this earth had seen
before or has known since.
Modern Italy has inherited much OF
the Roman idea" Italy today shares
the old love for bureaucratic govern
ment, for order. for solid construction
outweanng the mere "utilitarian"
product, for In its way Italy bankers
after the same vicarious Immortality
OF la sting monuments which possessed
the builders OF ancient temple and
basilica. And, like the legions Of long
ago, the Italian army Of today advances
to civilize and builds for an entire
age. Ample evidence for this state
ment may be found In the roads and
military works" at the Italian front,
but, better still, in the occupied terri
tories of southern Albania. which Italy
has either taken for itself as Avlona,
or is holding for the barely conceived
state of Albania, whose approaching
birth 1t has so sententiously an

SCOUTING SPIRIT DiDIT.

With every reason to feel proud of
membership in the Boy Scouts of
America because of the gracious words
of President Wilson as well as the
commendation of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo, it behooves all in
scouting to guard against having this
very thing a negative influence to
boys.
The spirit that should be encouraged
is often expressed by the scout who is
doing heroic act or an especially
meritorious good turn makes light of
the effort to bestow praise upon him
and dismiss the subject with the char
acterization, "Oh, shucks any scout
would do this or Il was simply doing
my duty"
