Five of Pleasantville, would like to
make an appeal to the people of Pleas
antville. 1t is merely a matter of civic
pride. We want u boys from Pleas

ever they go anywhere. To make this
possible it takes hard cash; but no
one is requested to donate, merely a
favor is asked.
Through the kindness of Mr.. Zim-
norman, of the Strand Theatre, the
boys are going to have a benefit per-
Torrance on Monday, Nov. Is. When
a Scout approaches you, buy tickets
to your limit. Make it a family movie
night. Let everybody help the boys
get new uniforms and equipment. The
troop does not get a penny of this
money. Every ticket a boy sells pro-
vides him with new uniform. bugle,
first aid kits, and many other things.
The price is the same as at the win
dow, zoe. The feature is entitled "a
Fighting Chance" which is a Para
mount Special with an all-star cast.
Besides, there are several other good
pictures also.

Simple Trick Of Artist.

Everybody has noticed that the eyes
IN some portraits follow one wherever
he goes In the room. 1t is a bit un.
canny to move about an apartment
and have the eyes of a picture always
upon one. Some superstitious persons
are afraid to go into a picture gallery
where portraits Of their ancestors are
to be found. The effect Is simply an
optical Illusion and Is secured by hav-
ing the eyes In the portrait looking
directly toward the front. Under such
circumstances the pupil is necessarily
In the middle, with an equal amount
Of "whlte" on each side. This rela-
tion does not vary at all with the
position Of the observer. No matter
where you stand the pupil will be In
the middle of the eye and the eye will
seem to be looking at you.

DOGS AND CHURCH WINDOWS
Both In Ancient and Modern Times
Animals Representation Has
Been Frowned Upon.

The stained-glass representation OF
the "Pedlar and his Dog" to which
attention has been directed by the dis
covery of a boundary stone of "Ped'
lars Acre." on the site of the new
county hall, was removed. owing to the
alleged incongruity Of introducing the
figure of a dog in church window,
says the Westminster Gazette.
Quite recently Chancellor Prescott
of Carlisle refused faculty stained
glass window In Westmoreland
church because the design included a
dog; and perhaps the only existing ex-
ample of dogs used for ecclesiastical
decorations are to be found In Lord
Brownlow's private chapel at Ash
bridge.
In this church one stained-glass
window depicts Tobias and Sara In bed
and a dog sleeping on the quilt. while
In another window Job Is shown being
Knocked by three men, one Of whom Is
holding a dog by chain.
