WOMAN, THE BUFFER

Again, as in the days when they
were launching their joint project,
THE Question of Life" with Miss Sci
den, the Ferrol household was teHsed
with hope and labor. Only this time
1t was Ned who was the working part
ner instead of Miss Selden; and the
stakes and hopes were higher
Edith's task and work became In
finitely more complex and difficult
than any she had ever undertaken
before; and it was so none the less for
the fact that her position with the
Excelsior Heater Corporation THE
name had been changed to the more
modest designation-was neither Off
cial nor had it salary attached. 1t
had not even name, unless The Bun
er could be considered such
For~with her husband and her bro
Their now as working partners there
arose for Edith a series of problems
which called for all the tact, patience,
resourcefulness and experience she
could wrest from life and bring to her
aid. Ned had insisted that Fem and
his partner. Calhoun, take to them
selves a third of the interest in The
corporation in return for their capital
OF the other two-thirds he gave one
to John and Edith to hold Jointly;
keeping the remaining third for Linn
self.
Soon after the reorganization of the
business Fem and Calhoun decided
their share could be left safely in the
hands of Ned and John Ferrol and
gave them full sway. This left Edlth's
husband and her brother in full con-
troll of the business, with the respon-
sibility and the right to direct the
policy of the corporation equally divid-
ed between the two men.
The nearest approach to the prob
lens, troubles, storms and dangers
which marriage involves is partner
ship in business. All the problems Of
adjusting two different personalities
to common veal are there; all the
mistakes, the quarrels, the loss
through discord, the Nightmares and
the threats of shipwreck. Only that
in the partnership of Ned Flowerton
and John Ferrol all the shocks and
collisions between the two had Edith
as their buffer.
The clashes were inevitable Civ
en- a highly imaginative, impulsive
young man of Ned Flowerton's type,
eager and impatient for quick results;
and steady, somewhat conservative,
coolheaded man dozen years older,
both working closely together. and the
occasions for clashes come fast ana
furious.
With all the good will in the world
toward each other Ned thought some
of Johns methods would leave them
stuck in the mud" while John some
times felt sure Ned's way would soon
wreck them in the ditch"
1t took a woman to keep them to-
gethef in the early difficult days-the
woman who knew them better than
they knew themselves, who loved them
devotedly enough to take the infinite
pains for their sakes which no man
takes for another or even for himself.

idea which came to him for selling
the heater, ragged and agoniZed be-
cause John pronounced 1t unsound. 1t
was Edith who had to translate to the
youth the real dangers in the plan,
which John could make clear to her
patient attention, but not to Neds.
And it was Edith who showed John
the elements of solid worth in the
younger mans daring conceptions.
1t was Edith, too, who patiently and
convincingly showed Ned that life has
something to each that youth does not
know that Johns method was dictat-
ed by years of experience rather than
by mere conservatism.
Gradually, however. and largely
through the medium of Edith, the two
men learned to know each other bet
ter, to appreciate each others power,
to work together with better results
to themselves and the business. Nor
did they fail to appreciate Edlths role
in the Improvement.

BOY
SCOUTS
&fs-
Conducted by National council of the
Boy Scouts OF America.)
SCOUTS HELP POLICE CITY

When the patrolmen .of Cincinnati
went on strike. the city was left in a
very serious situation.
The city officials called upon num-
Der of civic organizations for assist
ancc. including the Boy Scouts OF
America. The following editorial from
local paper indicates how well they
did their work and how much 1t was
appreciated:
Saturday morning boy scouts were
ON duty as traffic officers at street In
tersections In downtown Cincinnati.
''Thp boys went at the work with the
energy and enthusiasm which were to
be expected of them. AS these lines
are written, one OF the youngsters Is
bosslng the traffic at the corner OF
Sixth and Walnut in way that brings
smiles of approval and encouragement
from passers-by.
Regulation of traffic Is q necessity
In Cincinnati. Law-abiding people Will
obey the orders of the boy scouts on
traffic duty and try to help them In
tteir work. II there are any small
enough in mind to impose upon the
boys, 1t Is more than probable that
Trey will find the undertaking both UNI
successful and costly"

SCOUTS GROWING RAPIDLY.

In spite of the fact that of the
scoutmasters and other. scout officials
q large percentage volunteered for ac-
tive service Immediately following the
declaration of the war, and another
large percentage WAS called to the
colors by the first draft law. the rec.
ords show that today the Boy ScoU.s
of America has 43 per cent more scLut
officials than 1t had on the day war
was declared and GO per cent more
scouts than 1t had on the day war was
declared.
For every man who will go. each
community will have Mt least five or
more men who have the same quail
ties of leadership for carrying on the
work. 1t Is not necessary for them
to know scouting from the technical
point Of view in order to efficiently
serve as scoutmasters. They can Sc
cure experience by following the same
course as their predecessors. The war
has proven not only In England, but
here In America, that between so and
90 there are scoutmasters even bet
ter than younger men.
Today there are 440,S9O men and
boys as compared with 272,O31 on
April 9. 1917. What will the records
be In one year? There will be at
least 714,O00 men and boys II this
percentage of increase Is maintained
