Minister OF the Interior Auer, who

sources of power. The commission
IS intended to constantly advise the
government and manufacturers
concerning the use OF all raw ma

gest the transfer of ailing indus
tries to other fields and cooperate
with the government IN the regula-
ton OF imports and exports. The
government is expected to consult
with this commission in deciding

THE KING AND THE BOY SCOUTS.

"On the day that King George gave his
!. great garden party to those who had
ID distinguished themselves in patriotic
work during the war, there were in
taluded only two organizations Of
Scgng people. These were the boy
scouts and the girl guides.

boys and girls themselves should be
present to the number Of $50, as rep
resentatives of the rest. Picked, as
hhey were, one from every county in
dhe British isles, they naturally pre-
scented very smart lot.
The king talked for quite while
in praise of the work Of scoutmasters.
Results were what he judged by, not
the steps. Results are the only test,

possible credit on the workers. He
said that he had personal experience
of this, because, on account of their
capability, scouts had come now to be

SEA SCOUTS FROM ENGLAND

THAT the splendid work done by
British sea scouts during the war pc
Rod is appreciated by England is
shown by the special arrangements
which have been made for their bene-
fit with the White Star line" writes
james Il. West, chief scout executive.
"Every White Star liner, whether
making port In New York, Boston or
Halifax, carries two or three British
sea scouts who are shipped as cadets
are regular members Of the crew and
are getting an unforgettable andJfasci.
hating experience Of real seafaring.
"Some of these boys learn to love
their good ship and tho life Of the sea

ice, sail the seven seas, make strange
ports, and eventually become mates,
officers or shippers"
In New York, Dr. ]. J. Macdonald,
an American scoutmaster, is always
ready at the pier to greet these Brit
ish boys, and to take charge of them
as long as they remain on shore.

was peculiarly designed to add to the
enemy's suspicion Of the approaching

copies more additional Of the Contains
sheet, "plan directeur map" This
could only be interpreted by the Ger
mans, the Americans agreed, as prepa-
ration for coming drive on the Briey

In addition to the wireless the TX

front between Bezonaux and Fresnes,
n telephone squad-a careless squad
which set up telephone stations here
and there and sent messages and
talked shop and gossiped all night
about the arrival Of some old friends
from America with such and such an
outfit.
The tx" army telephone squad took
no chances that the Germans might
not hear the conversations the Amer
leans desired them to record. They
deliberately grounded their wires, so
the enemy could "listen in" and
crawled out into No Mans Land In
the darkness and hooked one of the
American wires on n German bnrbed
wire in front of an abandoned trench
system. In the front line of modern
warfare the telephone Is q most dam
gerous instrument, for both sides de-
vised apparatus which within certain
limits could pick up conversations
over enemy lines with which it was
not even connected. So the Ameri-
cans felt certain that all their CONVEX
sations were heard by the Germans.

WOMEN ARE HELP in
FINLAND POLITICS

Having thus such an excellent
foundation to build upon, 1t is small
wonder that the wOman's movement
soon found many active supporters.
In 1863 the diet had accorded the mu-
nicipai vote to woman taxpayers living
In the country, and In 1872 to women
living in the towns, all of whom were
also given the right to be elected
members Of certain local seIf-govern-
ing bodies. In 1900 the woman social
democrats included the suffrage in
their program, but the special activity
for the suffrage began only in the year
1904. although in 1897 a petition had
been officially presented to the diet mt
the request of the Finnish Woman's
association.
THE reason why SO little was done
in direct furtherance Of the cause Of
woman suffrage between the years
1897 and 1904 is that just mt that time
Finland was passing through a severe
political crisis.
Women as Strike Managers.
"After the outbreak of the October
revolution In Russia (1905) a sympa-
thetic strike was declared In Finland,
and several Of the members Of the CEN
trail committee elected by mass meet
ing to manage the details of the strike
were women.
"The first action taken by the com.
mittee was TO close all the liquor
shops, saloons and barrooms and to
organize volunteer police force to
keep order. After the second day
the markets were reopened and the
strikers were not allowed to cut or
the water supply. In short, the strike
was managed In most orderly and
systematic way and no outrages of
any sort were committed.
During the course of the strike nu-
merous populations were sent with pc
titions to the governor general. and
In each deputation there were women
members. Thus. even In moments of
grave political danger and at times
when the utmost moderation and fore
sight were needed, the Films were not
afraid TO trust their women.
"'The very great interest that the
women took In the elections may be
gathered from the fact that In Helsing-
fors, the capital, at the time of the
second elections Tin 100S), there were
1880 woman voters and 1856 men
voters registered. 1t Is true that the
minority Of the women voted for men,
MS there were only &c women elected
in house of 200 but one woman re.
ceived larger number OF votes than
was given to any of the men candi.

SCOUTS LIKE WOOL CAMP buds

Bodily moisture can evaporate
through woolens much more easily
than through cotton or linen cloth,
which keeps the moisture in. its texture
until 1t Is thoroughly saturated. And
1t is the dampness next to the skin that
causes colds and chills-so stick to
woolens.
But, see that you wash 'em right!
You kill their BITTERNESS right Off II
you let little bits Of soap get In be-
tween the flbers and thus clog up the
channels through which the moisture
is supposed to go.
A good way Is to soak the garments
in lukewarm suds, then squeeze out
the water by pulling the woolens
through the hands. And don't twist or
wiring, IL you don't want to invite
stretching or shrinking.
Just get out as much of the water as
you POSSIBLY can and hang the "duds"
up to dry.
