he says. nothing could induce him to
vote for its repeal. $50 far" he says,

ADVERTISING
MISTAKES TO AVOID.

Previous articles In this series have
shown how to prepare effective adver-
Using. In this one. we point out the
mistakes most frequently made even
by some who consider themselves good
advertisement writer's.
One of the most common faults in
advertising Is the attempt at clever
ness, which often fails to impress the
reader as such and consequently falls
fiat.
II the purpose Of the advertisement
is to sell something land 1t almost in
variably is), then something catchy"
will not accomplish the desired results
as readily as a few well-chosen words
Of sensible, forceful sales argument.
Flowery language also Is very much
out of place in good advertisement
Elaborate figures of speech, large and
unusual words and long, complicated
sentences often serve to confuse the
reader and fill him with disgust. The
really good ad-writer avoids these
faults as he would plague.
The mistakes mentioned In the fore
going paragraphs are few Of the rea-
sons why most unsuccessful adver-
tisers have formed the conclusion that
advertising doesn't pay.

NEED OF SCOUT LEADERS.

The special drive for more scout
masters to head troops for the many
boys who want to join the Boy Scouts
OF America but cannot has especial
significance because of the need of
offsetting the increase In juvenile
crime.
Massachusetts, has an increase of IS
per cent In crime among the boys
within the last twelve months. Detroit
reports an increase Of nearly 80 per
cent. Newark and Toledo boys courts
have noted large access of mischief
due TO the war excitement and the
lack of proper direction for their ac-
tivities.

ideals TO lead American boyhood In

TO be used. Cook for an hour, then
add the vegetables except potatoes.
Cook the stew for half an hour, add
the potatoes cut in quarters, cook for
another half an hour, and serve.
The fireless cooker may well be used,
the meat and the vegetables being put
in at the same time.
Left-overs or canned vegetables need
only to be heated through. Add them
10 minutes before serving.
Dried peas or beans should be soak
ed overnight and cooked for three
hours before adding to the stew; or,
better. cook them overnight In a fire.

SCOUTS

ggOufa Of America
WORK OF A SC0UTMASTER

A big work, this being a master
scout. What manner Of man is needed
to do itI
First Of all, the scoutmaster must
be real man himself, the kind Of a
man boys will naturally follow, admire.
respect, emulate and obey. No amount
of book knowledge, no degrees In peda-
gogy will avail IL he doesn't impress
the boys as the ''real stuff"
He must possess that indefinable
quality we call personality or person
al magnetism" lie must be a man of
proved worth Of character. He must
stand four-square to the scout princi-
Piles in practice as well as precept
To be successful boy leader, man
must know human nature In general
and boy nature In particular. He must
be able TO remember back to his own
boyhood clearly enough to be able to
get the boys viewpoint. He must be
enough Of boy himself, whatever his
years. to put himself into relation
of sympathetic comradeshlp with boys,
and at the same time be enough of q
man and master to keep sufficiently
aloof, so that his boys will recognize
his authority and accept II as final.
He must possess tact. initiative, pow
er Of quick decision and action, for al
most any emergency calling for the
practice of these qualities may arise
at any time In his work with boys.
The scoutmaster is also expected to
get in touch with such experts as his
community offers. and enlist their serv-
ices In scout training.
Boys have an immense respect for
anybody who can "do things" The
wise scoutmaster frankly owns himself
an amateur, and learner II neces-
sary. at the same time keeping himself
In so far as possible ahead of his boys.
Three hours a week is probably the
minimum time required. Nevertheless
II is true that some OF the best scout
masters are otherwise the busiest men.
Just because they are busy men, they
are apt to be efficient men, men of
power and personality. accustomed to
putting their margins OF leisure to
profitable use. Certainly no better use
could be found for the spare hours of
good citizen and patriot than to help
in the process of making men, men who
are to be the hope and salvation Of our
war rent civilization.
