TO ADD STRENGTH TO COTTON
Machine Devised by New Jersey Man
Is Something for Which the World
Has Been Looking.

There is probably no service which
subjects cotton fabric to so ver a
test as that it has to endure in an au-
tomobile tire. says Scientific Amer
lean. The fabric serves as a rein
fOrcement for the rubber. 1t is de-
signed TO withstand an enormous ten
sile strength in all directions, i'm
posed by steady pressure of air within
the tire, and must also withstand the
sudden shocks due to the passage of
the wheel over distractions. At the
same time it must be perfectly lexi-
BILE: for it is f1eXed constantly as the
wheel runs over the ground. The fab
ric cannot have its strength increased
merely by using heavier threads, for
this would interfere with its fexibil-
ity. It has occurred to an inventor,
William q. Trautvetter of Paterson,
n. J.. that a fabric might be designed
in which, in addition TO the regular
warp and filling. diagonal reinforcing
threads might he incorporated. And.
starting cut with this idea, he has de-
signed q machine which will actually
weave such n fabric. Anyone accus-
toned to handling looms or familiar
with the operation of these machines
will realize how revolutionary must
be n mechanism which will put bias
threads into a woven fabric.

OUGHT TO BE SCOUTS"

IF I had my way" says Edward Box.
IT would have every boy On his twelfth
birthday become a boy scout. l know
Of no single idea in our modern life
that has in it so many possibilities for
the development of the best qualities
In a boy as the scout idea.
ut has been the making of several
boys that I know; it has awakened
even a larger number. My W boy is
a scout, and so l speak from personal
experience.
"The scout idea fits into these busy
days for fathers with particular force,
since where the father cannot give as
much attention to his boy as in normal
times, or is away from home on serv-
Ice, the scoutmaster comes in with his
s%teadying influence in a peculiarly hap
by way.
1.-The entire fundamental structure
Of good citizenship lies in the idea :
obedience, a respect for authority and
himself, consideration for the other fell
low, honor, courtesy, and a love of
country. Where is there a better secu-
lar code than this to instill into a boy
of ~thirteen?"

WHAT THE BOY SCOUTS DO.

The world interest in the boy scout
movement challenges the intelligent
understanding of every one, and yet
many people still ask "What is scout
ing?' and "What do boy scouts dog
The boy scout idea is a movement
rather than an organization. 1t aims
to supplement existing organizations
such as the home. church and school
by engaging the boys leisure energies
in outdoor games and activities of
cultural and practical value.
The aim of the scout movement is
to inculcate character, which, though
essential To success in life, is not
taught within the school, and being
largely a matter of environment is too
generally left to chance, often with
deplorable results. The scout move
ment endeavors to supply the required
environment and ambitions through
games and outdoor activities, which
lead a boy to become a better man, a
good citizen.

SCOUTS IN REAL WAR WORK.

The Boy Scouts of America is
growing at the rate of 1000 a day. A
regiment of youngsters is being re-
corded each "a hours at the national
headquarters in New York city. There
are now 353,04S of these scouts twelve
years old and over.
The reason is that the government
has given the boys who are scouts
many real things to do to help win the
war, and they have found out that as
scouts they can have a definite and
clearly recognized part to play in the
winning of it.
While other boys are simply tossing
their hats up or cheering from the
"side lines" the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea is being called upon by the presi-
,dent, the secretary of the treasury,
the war department, the food admins
tration and other branches of the gov
.ernment, the Red Cross, the Liberty
loan committees and all factors In
winning the war.

MENACE TO CAUCASIAN RACE
Practice Of ~Polygamy in the Orient
Constitutes Peril Which Must
Not Be Underestimated.

The storm center of social reform
in Asia for the mex quarter of a cen
fury is likely to be- over the relations
of the sexes, writes Tyler bennett in
Asia. If any statement of the men
ace of polygamy were necessary to
bring home to American readers the
immediacy Of the subject, some re-
cent statements from the editorial
columns of the Far Eastern Review
would seem to be suitable. The eau
casiaD population Of the world is dou-
bling its number once in a hundred
years; the dark-skinned races, which
now outnumber the white population
two to one, are doubling their num-
bers every twenty-five years.
At least such is the case in Korea,
where the most recent figures are
available. The editor of the Far East
ern Review figures out that at the
present rate of increase the Caucas-
ian element in the worlds population
will have shrunk in a hundred years
to scarcely 5 per cent. The oriental
demands male children. as many of
them as he can produce. The editorial
in question says: $50 long as the
oriental man is able to arrOgate to
himself the right to possess plural
wives, just so long will polygamy pre-
vail. But there is a way out and n
which is becoming broader and more
easy to tread each year. The wife
with foreign education is a precious
thing in China in the eyes of the re-
turned students, since she is n Of
a few women of his own race that
realizes and understands his peculiar
aspirations. She has it in her hands
to be the one and only wife. and If
the few examples that have come I'M
der the writer's notice are any critic
rion, she will exert that power to the
utmost"
