SCOUTS AS "NUT PATRIOTS"

The boy is coming into his own.
Every human boy always knew deep
within his heart that he was the nat.
ural keeper of the peace, the very
present help in time of trouble. but
the difficulty lay in convincing his cid
ers.
The boy scout movement was his
first great opportunity for demonstra-
ton, and he seized ii. Under its be-
neficent rays his natural inclination
and operations emerged from the
black shadow of paternal disapproval
or lack of interest and assumed their
deserved place.
Swimming. woodcraft and camping
became dignified professions. in the
pursuit of which the boy himself was
made strong and thereby fitted to de-
fend the weak.
His value as a part of civic life
next became apparent. and he distrib-
uted important literature, helped care
for the crowds at parades and public
meetings, learned to observe city laws
and traffic regulations and to encour-
age their observance In others.
Having borne himself worthily in
all these matters, behold his just re-
ward! No more did the boy need to
ask fearfully If he might go nutting.
His country called him, he must go.
Gathering nuts for gas masks was rec
ogniZed by the highest authorities as
an essential industry. But the boy
knew it all the time.

Keep Cloth Looking Like New.

To have fabrics, after laundering,
possess their original appearance, care
must be taken with colored materials
that they do not fade, and with white
materials that they remain snow white.
Aside from this, suggests the depart
ment of agriculture, much depends on
the sizing of cloth. Too much stiffen-
ing spells its appearance and too little
Is quite as bad.
Most housekeepers use starch for
stiffening ordinary clothing. Starch
keeps the clothes clean longer and also
acts as an absorbent for stain, thus
saving wear on the fiber by making
excess friction in laundering unneces-
sary. Manufacturers add other sub
stances besides starch to their finished
mixture and their practices have been
adopted in home laundry work with
success.
For instance, borax gives smooth
ness; paraffin, wax or turpentine give
gloss; and alum a certain degree Of
pliability The substance used to
whiten is bluing, which counteracts the
yellow tinge. To use any finishing proc
ess successfully the mixture must be
carefully worked into the fabric to
insure uniform finish. This Is done by
dipping in and out of the starch and
bluing and rubbing well between the
hands.

on the story of how-not so many years since, either-Irwin stole schooner put to sea in her, got stuck on a sandbar, padded ashore in the dory at dead of night, and then, to his blank amase-
 ment, found that he had the skipper s coat on, while his own remained aboard with his name in it, not to mention his watch and wallet.
 But there are reasons why all this must be kept dark. For one thing, IT, win got into that mess because stars go to his head The heavens were sim ply infested with stars that night, and Irwin is a poet and all afame with imagination and temperament and gusts, and, when F, 100000 heavenly bodies wink at him simultaneously, gets wrought up into fine frenzy and becomes a reg ular Howard Pyle pirate. He was in this glorified frame of mind, out on the Long Island shore, when suddenly he clapped eyes on that schooner. For the awful deed he did in conse- quence, I hold him guiltless. Moreover, he made amends next day-went back, taking along the assistant pirate who had shared in his adventure, faced the scowls of indignant seadogs along the beach, sought out the aggrieved skip

How tn Quench Thirst

By the Rev. J. H. Jowett in the Chris tian Herald.
 There are certain expedients to which men are continually resorting in the hope that spiritual thirst may be allayed, but which unfailing experience has proved
 can never bring satisfaction. Sin cannot
 allay thirst The wonderful thing is tha. we cansever persuade ourselves that it can. The devil can mix the most insid-
 ious potSons, and can make them sparkle like the water of life, but when we drink them it is as though a man consumes salt water to appease his thirst. It is the most pathetic of all tragedies when a man or woman flees to drink to quiet the soul It shall be "as when a thirsty man dreameth, and behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite And work cannot allay the thirst I will join any man in singing a paean of
 bleessedness on work; but if hard work will lead to spiritual contentment, the great majority would be in the enjoy rnent of spiritual rest.
 And money cannot allay the thirst The most awful weariness in the world today will be found where money abounds. The fact Of the matter is, spiritual sat- isfaction is to be obtained at a counter where money is not accepted as means of exchange.
 And honor cannot allay thirst. Nor

 and the increasing population of Man
 haitian Island, with the consequent boom
 in the building trade, bore witness to
 his popularity.
 He deserved it. He muckraked like
 his brother Will, versifed like Edgar
 Allan Poe, and editorialized in rhyme
 like a prophet, seer and bard rolled into
 one-which he was. To this period be- the Kaiser to unpack his soul 10 years or more before the war. It begins like this:

But such is the penalty man pays for hopping aboard the band wagon of current topics. The topics fade out, the band wagon crumbles into igEo- minious dust, and nobody cares. If nabbing immortal fame was his fay, Irwin has taken the wrong tack, quite: He needed what the vulgar herd call a "gardeen," and he rarely showed the need more pathetically than when he first exploited Hashimura Togo, Jap anese schoolboy. Rafts of Americans, now in their twenties, never heard of the row about Japanese schoolboys- how almond-eyed roughnecks in Cali fornia middle-aged at that raised in- calculable hob because folks objected to their overrunning the public schools in their zeal to learn English.
