When a boy Grams his mind with
stories he is at least developing the
habit Of reading. and II they are net
Of the Diamond Dick" variety, he is
he reads history or biography written
in simple fashion he is forming a
background for the knowledge which
he will attain as he grows older, ac-
cuainting himself with great people
who have lived and accomplished, Gre
ating for himself ideals Of action and
service, and laying foundation which
will be valuable to him as long as ne
lives. Great writer's Of fiction, sociol-
cgy, drama and verse are heralded as
senuises. Perhaps not enough credit
Is given to those less known authors,
who in simple diction but with vigor-
Gus idealism arc appealing to the boys
ethics, to his imagination, to his cour-
age, by transcribing for him an in
teresting record of the achievements
Of the heroes of bygone days, the
pioneers, discoverers OF the land and
builders OF nations. Mr. Johnson pre-
sents in interesting fashion the stories
Of Left Ericsson, Columbus, Vespucci,
Ponce de Leon-whose soul is to de-
siccated by worldly interests to thrill
over the search for tho Fountain of
Youth-Cortez, Champlain. Marquette,
de La Sale and many others. They
are stirring stories, full Of vision, en-
thusiasism and accomplishment. Any
boy would be the better for reading
them, and he would incidentally have
many happy hours during their perusal.
This is book which you will find on
the most prominent shelf in a atudious
boys library, not fresh ard trim with
pages uncut. but dogeared, thumbed d
and generally dilapidated, and one also
that the boy grown to man will like
to pass on to some other younger fel-
lev for his happiness.

Mr.. George S Speeches

THE GREAT CRUSADE. Extracts from speeches
by the Right Hon. David Lloyd George. Ar
ranged by + L. Stevenson. Svo, pp 307 Tho
George II. Doran Company.
These are extracts from speeches
made by Mr.. George as Minister of
Munitions, as Secretary of State for
War and as Prime Minister, covering
almost the entire period of the war
down to the date of publication, and
dealing with practically all phases of
the war. The compilation is of i'm
mense interest and value as an au-
thoritative record, for reference, of
what Mr.. George has actually said and
of what the policy of the British gov
ernment actually is. 1t is of interest,
also, as revelation of the fine con-
sstency of statesman with vision,
who saw the truth at the beginning
and who has therefore had no occasion
to reverse or to contradict himself.

G. T. Putnam's Sons.
The campaigns in the Sinaitic PENN
sula, to protect Egypt and the Suez
Canal from the Turks and Huns, have
not figured as spiouousfy in war
history as those on other sectors of
the battlefront. They were, however,
Of immense strategic Importance, and
were we'll worthy of careful chron-
icling. The writer and illustrator of
this book we're respectively official cor
respondent and official artist of London

mirably qualified by opportunity and
observation to prepare this concise,

But these things would be in vain with

SAVE OR SINK
SUccOR OR PERISH

In the course of nearly four years
of the world war, the gaunt hand of
starvation has scrawled the names of
more individuals on it's side of the
death ledger than have persisted by
gunpowder, gas, and steel. Four mil
lion seven hundred and fifty thou
sand persons have died from starva-
ton while about 4,25O,O 900 have been
killed by fighting. Hunger gnawed
at the vitals of Russia until her morale
was so weakened that she collapsed.
The same cause may Justly be attrib-
uted to the crumpling of heroic little
Roumania. Italy, underfed with food
and overfed with insidious German
propaganda went through a crisis
last fall that threatened to result dis
astrously for the allied program And
row the call has come from England,
France, Italy, and Belgium that wheat
must be forthcoming or they can not
assure us th0t the allied armies or the
morale of the sacrificing, suffering
millions behind the lines in those
countries vii! be maintained.
On June l, there remained but So
100000 bushels of wheat in the Uni
ted States. If we consumed wheat
at our normal rate of consumption,
more THAI 100000 bushels per
month we would lack at least 25,000,-
900 bushels for our needs during
June and July, and not send one bush
ell abroad. To meet the very mini
mum needs of the allies. we must
ship 100000 bushels for this two
month period. leaving but 100000
bushels per month-less than one
third of normal for home consump-
ton. The entire 30,0O0,00O bushels
that the allies need must come from
our savings before the next wheat
harvest.
It is inconceivable that America
should fail in this crisis. The vari-
GUS strata of our population can not
bear equally this reduction in con-
sumption of wheat bread Those en-
gagged in physical labor need a larg.
er bread ration than those in seden-
tarv occupations. Furthermore, the
special requirements of children and
invalids must be safeguarded To
meet the needs abroad and prevent
serious suffering at home, it is i'm
perative that those whose circum-
stances permit shall abstain from

With full understanding that as a
Nation we must save or sink, succor
those overseas or perish with them,
let us grasp this opportunity-a priv.

fight materially aid the cause, on the
success Of which rests the freedom of

Hurl Garbage Ba,rage
Against The Huns

The United States Food Admins.
tration not long ago spread slogan
across the country which in effect ad-
Nised us to put less into the garbage
pail and take more out of it. At first
glance this seems an extraordinary
and paradoxical statement, but as we
analyze the subject with the care and
Judgment which Is its due we can
readily see the sound common sense
of it.
For generations we have been
Taught to believe that garbage is
about the most useless thing, next
to Imperialism, in the world, and
since we have seen fit to place these
two in the same category we can see
That some good can come out Of both
with the balance of favor pointing to
garbage.
An expert now comes forward and
tells us that the large cities waste
annually enough garbage, table ref
use, rubbish, and other household
"castoffs" to put the Huns out Of
commission If 1t could be translated
into munitions and rained in barrage
fire on the enemy lines. He further
states that 1t can be translated into
munitions and shows that in one ton
OF garbage there is sufficient glyce-
rine for the powder or explosive
charge Of fourteen rs millimeter
shells; sufficient fatty acid for the
manufacture Of rs pounds Of soap;
sufficient fertilizer elements to grow
eight bushels Of wheat, also a score
of other materials including alcohol,
ether, phosphates. nitrogen, potash,
pitch, and so on through a very com.
plicated chemical list which would
surprise the average housewife IL
she could have the materials laid out
before her eyes as she disposes Of her
household waste.
The man says that this same ton of
garbage, If kept free from broken
glass, crockery, phonograph needles,
Isweepings, and other foreign matter,
and fed to hogs will produce 100
pounds Of good, firm pork. This
translation furnishes an idea of gar.
bage value that is more readily alb
sorbed.
There Is no doubt that in many
ways this country has grown extrav-
Iagant to the point of abuse and It is
gratifying that it is learning a great
conservation lesson from the war. ri
we can be shown that garbage is val
liable land the Food Administration
figures are convincing) we should
lose no time in adopting the garbage
slogan as we have adopted the food
slogans. The Government has
pledged itself to exert every ounce
of energy and resource to the war
against imperialism A good step in
this direction would be to hurl bar
rage of garbage against the Huns.
