You would perhaps not notice this
cowlike face and fur collar unless you
should use a pocket lens, which every
scout should have. Then you will find
the monohammus or sawyer beetle ex-
tremely interesting. says Edward #.
Bigelow, scout naturalist, discussing
this curious insect in Boys Life.
These beautiful brown and gray
beetles are, including the antennae,
about an inch and a quarter long. The
~antennae or feelers are as long as the
body In the case Of the female and
twice as long In the male.
Where shall you look for these curl
Gus beetles? Search among the needle
like leaves Of the pine and fir. The
larvae are found In the sound wood OF
these trees. Sometimes the mature
beetles occur In such numbers us to
do real injury to the trees, but or0i-
uarily they are not very plentiful, and
most scouts are not familiar with
them, even where they are fairly abun'
dant.

SING TOMORROW
At HIGH SCHOOL
War Camp Community Service
Continues Song Fetes to Fos-
ter Community Spirit in City

Community singing will again be the
weekly event In the high school audi
forum tofhorSow afternoon at 3
o'clock under the auspices OF the War
Camp Community Service.
The happy circumstances of the hol-
iday celebrations this ear AFFORD
greater reason for Joy and gladness
which should find expression In mass
singing. The idea Of song festivals as
a collective manifestation of good
cheer Is not new, but a revival of an
old Institution traces of which are
found In the Greek drama. Such a
revival IL worth the effort in these
glorious times because we are at the
dawn of a new era rs the result of
the war. Community singing is nee
essary In any city OF town to enhance
community spirit, to foster neighbor-
illness, to quicken civic pride. to en-
gender unity of purpose in the civic
life OF the community. All these fac
tors are indispensable for the proper
development of any city or town. Mu-
sic instills high ideals In all people and
Is conducive of greater civic virtue
when INDUCED In collectively. Where
in a city such as Perth Amboy there
lives a cosmopolitan population OF
variant characteristics and aspirations
means must be found to gather the
various elements at intervals in order
that they may become acquainted and
familiar with each others ideals.
Music has been found the only me-
dunn to gather the various racial ele-
ments to the civic fold, where they
have eventually discerned hat COM
munity interest and collective welfare
are the concern OF all the people OF a
community. and not of the single in
dividual as expressed by the tax bill.
Mass singing affords far greater
possibilities to the civic welfare OF
Perth Amboy than the mere enjoy
ment of an hours singing every Sum
day. Greater civic virtue, greater un-
ity of purpose for the growth of the
city. greater individual efforts for the
city's welfare and consequently q bet
ter and a greater city will be the re-
suit of sustained community singing
The Wal Camp Community Service
shall be glad to continue its activities
along the musical lines indefinitely
but public cooperation is essential al
all times and the desired results car
and will only follow the proper public
cooperation.
Professor d. L. Spooner will lead
the singing and Blaine Pritchard Will
Coast Guard Marvin Davis will furnish
the music.

-Four Minute Talks
"PFACE O MEN"


That Is what the angels proclaimed
to h wondering shepherds centuries
ago. but what is on the V Of being
fully realized only after nearly two
milleniums of anything but peace.
True, there have been long years at
times when there have been no act
ual hostilities. But such is only a
negative peace, n h a rests merely
upon the lack of will or means to
war, with the spirit Of bitterness still
ranking in the heart. An entire GEN.
fury OF peace between two sue great
peoples as those Of the United States
and the British Empire Is SO u of
the ordinary as to call forth special
mention and celebration.
We have not perceived its full Inn
plications until revealed by the past
few years, nevertheless the militarism
OF the past generation has made for
anything but peace. The nations have
declared tina they were arming
themselves, but to insure the peace OF
the world. But militarism simply
means a race between the greater ma
lions OF tho world. with the tempta-
ton ever present for the n who wins
out to employ its greater strength to
enforce It's will. Vt bottom such Is
nothing more or less than ~selfishness,
while selhshness is essentially wick
edness. and for the wicked there is
on peace.
Nov we perceive that real peace Is
positive, and rests not on the selfish
ly expressed will OF any nation, no
matter how strong, but rather on the
expressed determination of all peoples
that righteousness and justice shall
obtai namong men. True. righteous
ness as praoticed by men and justice
as administered by them is admittedly
imperfect Yet there a beon a
measurable Improvement in the prac-
tice Of righteousness and the admin
istration of justice as the centuries
have come and gone II is surely @
great thing for the leading nations on
earth Ia determine that righteousness
and justice as they perceive 1T shall
be done the world around. for on that
expressed determination depends
peace among men.
1t took centuries before God was
ready to express his determination to
4 ries more before man has come to the
point where he is ready to cooperate
with the Almighty to bring about the
promised peace. The fulness of the
vision is breaking on the minds OF
men, like the sun rising above the
horizon in the morning. Christina
has never before meant 30 much. be'
cause never before have the teach
ings of the Christ predominoted ~
Largely among men. Well may We
/ sing with the angels. GLORY to Goo
In the highest, and on earth peace
among men in whom no Is wei
