SCOUTS
BOY SCOUT "vETS," TOO.

The veterans used 10 be gray haired
faces deeply marked, somewhat
stOOp shOuldered. one empty sleeve or
one pinned-up. empty trousers leg.
Their deeds are already in our school
histories.
But there is new generation Of
veterans today. Young fellows, nearly
every one OF them. Not stOop Shout
dered; very chesty indeed aud with
good cause. Not yet long enough re-
turned from the battles to have held
an annual. reunion. But veterans
nevertheless. Sayiors of their coun
try. Saviors Of the world.
And there is a stlll newer generation
OF veterans coming upon the great
world stage. These have not been to
war. They may never go to war. And
because OF them-in part at least
the world Itself may never know war
again.
These newer veterans are the young |
fellows who have been five years in |
the boy scout movement. They are /
hrst-class scouts. They have taken
upon themselves the scout obligations
for life. They have registered with
local scout authorities for service to
the community in any emergency.
Scouting principles imbedded in
boys nature Will continue to operate
N his life whether or not he wears
he uniform and the badge. But In
rider that the movement shall affect
he quality of citizenship of the whole
Iation most effectively, scouting prin.
iples should continue TO operate
through every scout In the active, posi-
I've form which the veteran scout EN-
odies in his allegiance.

INTAKE WAGES FOR PROFITS
Grave Error That Is Made by Most
People Who Are Working
for Salary.

When our wage-earners aud sslaried
people begin TO learn that savings are
profits and that the process OF accumu-
lating savings is substantially the same
as getting profits out OF a business. We
shsr be on the way TO becoming q
thrifty people.
But very few wage and salary earn
ers know this.
Their mental process. to the very
limited extent that their minds enter
into the matter at all. Is to regard the
pay check as profits. which is. OF
course. a very fundamental mistake.
In the business OF wage-earning the.
pay check is no more profits than is the
cash that comes over the counter Of a
store or through the receiving teller's
window at bank.
wage-earner's pay check il the
gross receipts. and his profits. n there
be any, are found by deducting from
these gross receipts whatever II costs
to keep the wage-earner going.
In business II is well understood that
here are just two ways TO increase
profits: either more money must come
n over the counter; or else less must
'e paid out in keeping up the business
so with the wage-earner. II he fails
o save he must fit himself for a better
OBJ or else lower his standard Of llv-
