EAGLE ALWAYS AN EMBLEM
From Neurological Times the Monarch
of the Air Has Been Chosen as
Representative of Power.

In mythology the eagle usually rep
resents the sun. The great mythical
eagle of India, the Garuda, is the
bearer Of the god Vishnu, victorious
by his brightness over all demons. In
Scandinavian mythology the eagle is a
gloomy figure, assumed by demons Of
darkness or by Odin himself, con-
cealed in the gloomy night or in wind
swept clouds. The storm giant Hras-
weigr sits in the form of an eagle at
the extremity of heaven and blows
blasts over all people and on the great
tree Yggdrasil sits an eagle observing
everything that happens. When Zeus
was preparing for his struggle with
the Titans the eagle brought him a
thunderbolt, whereupon the god took
the bird for his emblem. 1t naturally
became the emblem of nations after
its long use in mythology. Ptolemy
Softer made it the emblem of the Egyp-
tan kingdom. In the Roman story
the eagle was the herald to Tarquinus
of his royal power, and 1t was one of
the most important insignia of the re-
public, and was also assumed by the
emperors, and adopted into medieval
heraldry after the time of Charlie
magne.

| GET SALT FROM SEA WATER
Old Method of Obtaining Necessary Of
Life Is Still Practiced in
Various Places.

The use of salt for seasoning and
preserving foods is so ancient that
the earliest written records refer to
it, says writer in Popular Science
Monthly. For many centuries prac-
tically all the salt used by the human
race was procured by the evaporation
of sea water.
This method of obtaining salt is
still employed in many localities where
the conditions are favorable. A fat
stretch of sea coast and hot and
dry climate are necessary if salt is
to be got from sea water. An ideal
locality for this industry is the coast
on the Bay of Cadis, Spain.
The sea water is allowed to collect
in shallow basins, barely above high
water mark. AS the water evaporates
the various salts contained in the sea
water crystalline out and form a crust
which is removed and shoveled in
small heaps. There the salts undergo
the first stage of publication.
The edible salt is drained from the
otner salts, which constitute the great
er part of the impurities. The edible
salt crystallizes out first, while the
other salts retain the water and form
a concentrated brine which is allowed
to run into bitches dug for that pur.
pose.
The partly purified salt is then gath.
cred into large heaps. Occasional
rains wash out the more easily soluble
impurities, and the hot sun dries the
salt on the surface of the pile. AL
though it still contains about Is pei
cent of impurities it is shipped in
large quantities without further rein.

Boy Scouts of America)
WHY HE IS IN SCOUTING.

The question, "Why are you taking
such an active part in scoutingT was
asked of Medad E. Stone, president of
the Tucker Tool and Machine company
of New York city, and Mr.. Stone un-
hesitatingly replied:
'T am in scouting today because OF
what the scout movement has done for
my sons and for many other boys who
are now wearing the uniform of the
United States and nobly fulfilling their
scout oath to do their duty to God
and our country
81 came into scouting because of
what it promised to do for boys. That
was seven years ago-aEd the promise
has been abundantly kept. But the
boys do not receive all the benefits of
scouting. The men who give them
leadership gain fully as much. Iwould
urge every boy to join scout troop
''If you want to understand scout
ing, go with some scoutmaster on
hike with his troop or to camp with
them some day. Sit at their campfire.

get a vision of what scouting means,
and you'll want to have share in it.
"And scouting needs men - and
needs them now. You can do your
country the biggest kind of good turn

many scout leaders who are over

GIRL GUIDES OF ENGLAND.

In England, when the success of the
boy scout movement had completely
won the public to the program deyel-
oped by Lieut.. Gen. S. S. Baden-Pow-
ell, demand arose for similar, or
ganization for the girls of the ceun-
try.
Calling Lady Baden-Powel to the
leadership, those who were interested
began the development of a program
as distinctively feminine as the boy
scout movement is masculine. Avoid
ing even the Technology used in the
boy scout movement, the leaders
adopted for the new organization the
name 'The Girl Guides of England"
The membership of the organization
comes from all classes. The largest
and most exclusive private schools in
England were among the first to take
up guiding, and from their ranks have
gone out girls who are now commits
sioners for large areas. The girl guides
are no less plucky than the boy scouts
and they are living up to the highest
and best principles too. The member
ship is now over seventy thousand and
is growing rapidly.
The main activities of the guides
are those connected with building,
handicraft, service for others and
health.

By the use of waxed or paraffin pa-
per moist foods may be carried, which
formerly had to be omitted. Paper
cups and small glasses are a great
help, as custards, canned fruits and
jellies and jams as well as other semi
solid foods may be carried.
Corn bread in times past was never
served cold yet it toasts well and is
good as sandwich bread. The filing
of any sandwich should be moist
enough to make it palatable.
A common fault with most mothers
is putting too much into the basket If
the child attends school where a hot
soup or hot drink is served daily the
luncheon will be packed with that con-
sideration. The day is not far away
when the hot dish will be a part of
every school lunch.
A baked apple or pear is always a
good luncheon dish, They may be
baked or served uncooked.
In packing the lunch basket put the
| things the least likely to crush in the
bottom and always have tucked in m

should be supplied so that the child
may use one to spread over his desk.

Playing blackboard.

Do you know what blackboard is2
It's a kind of a game first played in
a primitive and mild sort of fashion
by Rocky mountain goats and since
modernized and made difficult by the
American army. The apparatus on
which one plays blackboard is a mixed
breed contrivance, by Washboard out
of Corduroy Road, to use the racing
vernacular. 1t is made up of narrow,
slippery strips Of rounded wood laid
crosswise about two inches apart, and
is supposed to keep ones feet out of
the mud. 1t does While playing duck
board ones feet are usually in the air.
1t Is called blackboard, suppose, be-
cause of some silly belief that q duck
could walk it without falling. Even
airplanes flying at a height of less
than 5000 feet have been seen to wig
gle and dip drunkenly while passing
above trench lines floored with duck
boards. And when 1t is laid upon the
surface of the earth and there are no
handy trench walls to help out-weN,
it's lucky for Charley Chaplin that the
wide world didn't see me operate.
Nothing could ever again be funny to
a man who saw me play blackboard out
there in the comparative open of that

and suddenly. even above the drumfire
he could hear the sounds of cheering
And, topping the ridge that ran before
the village, there came a swarm of
gray-green figures, thrusting back the
thin, scattered line that held it. The
bullets were whirring overhead, audi
BILE, and like swarm of bees. Clouds
Of dust rose up and hid the battle.
Eleanor, clutching Marks arm, stood
tense beside him; Mark saw that she
understood, and the two held theiI
breath as the dust clouds eddied along
the ridge.
Suddenly they dissolved, and the at
tacking swarm poured 1ke G great flood
into the village. 1t looked as if all
were lost.
But an instant later Mark saw lit
tie company of Americans thrust out a
Maxim gun from behind wall, where
they had hidden it. The gunner took
his seat, and, just as the ranks were
closing in on him, swept the street
from side to side. The ranks recoiled
and fell, body piling on body. Then, as
torrent forces its way through the
| ice-crust of river, the attackers over
whelmed the Maxim section and swept
into the streets.
And, as torrent meets torrent, with
a surge and rush body of American
troops swept forward to meet them.
The battle was all about them. Every
house was a fortress, every mound of
bricks rallying point. Mark raised
the half-conscious Colonel in his arms

ooINes OF THE SCOUTS.

The scouts are good at salvaging.
The boys of Troop No. 1T in the
Bronx, New York city, are collecting
tinfon and lead and also fruit pits,
but best Of all they are gathering all
the short pencils for the sick soldiers
in the base hospital there.
The boy scouts of Auburn, Wash,
are very proud to be given the honor
of belonging to the fire department,
and are anxious for some kind of n
confagratien to occur that they may
have a real tryout.
Scout Executive J. e. Huchingson OF
Denver took advantage Of the closing
of the schools to arrange outdoor
drills and various scout exercises and
tests every day.
The scouts in Conyers, Ga, put a
war savings stamp display ad in the
paper and have sold several thousand
dollars worth.

can flag to wash a window with. Scout
Kress didn't think what he ought to
do. He knew and then he didsit. He
found a policeman and the man is
now waiting trial.
There is a busy troop Of scouts at
Medford, Long Island, New York. They
made campaign to discourage people
from jumping off trains. They had a
fine war garden. One boy acted at
Camp Upton as supply motor driver.
One boy gave his time to farm and
road repair. Another scout tended
store for disabled woman. A one
armed scout filed the place of the
hired man and his deceased father and
helped his mother run the farm. They
were very active in Liberty Loan al>f

FRENCH BOY SCOUTS BUSY.

A letter from former Scoutmaster
Geoffrey W. Talbot, now in France.
says:
ST was with the French army, and
found that scouting in the large
cities in France has big hold on the
people and that the French scouts are
very like our scouts. I went to a
splendid scout rally in Paris, and must
confess they put on an entertainment
even better than any have seen our
boys do.
'Every Sunday used to see patrols
of scouts starting on hikes out in the
country near Paris, and they were a
fine looking lot of boys. Practically
all the messenger boys of the Amerf-
can Red Cross were French boy scouts,
and the only good messengers we had
at the 'Y' headquarters were scouts,
so you see scouting does good to the
French boys as well as to ours"
