Scouts organization. England and France, and
whatever other nations are visited by this
group, will have an opportunity to study first
hand the development of youth in the United
States. One newspaper was frank enough to
say in it's comment on these Scouts: We have
been glad to welcome such husky bunch of
young fellows from our friend, America. They
are high class lot of boys with the flush of
youth and health in their cheeks and stalwart
and strong in their physical development. It
speaks well for country that can pick out at
random such a representative crowd and Eng
land is glad to bid them cordial invitation to
see everything of interest here that may make
appeal to their youthful DESIRES
eve cannot be impressed too often or with
too much seriousness concerning the need for
courageous youth in the United States. Study
and play combine to give American boys that
fitness which will enable them to shoulder the
big national jobs when they grow older. Youth
in this country has not suffered from the raw
ages of war like the boys and girls in Central
Europe and elsewhere have suffered There are
three square meals day and plenty of time for
play and proper study for every child in the
United States. It is because such wholesome
conditions exist here that the hope of the future
is so significant. We must expect much of our
youth, because we have given the boys and girls
everything required for their physical moral and
mental Development

Boy Scouts Abroad

Three hundred and fifty-seven Boy Scouts
from the United States, now on visit overseas,
are genuinely typical of the young manhood Of
America" says the Dayton News.
I'm definite manner they will serve to i'm
press our friends in foreign countries with the
clean-cut youth in the United States. Directly
and indirectly wherever this company of Boy
Scouts goes during its European trip, it will re-
fleet the buoyant spirit of the great American
nation. 1t was happy thought that made pro-
vision for visit of this character. Europe is
accustomed to see financiers, social leaders and
others from the United States, and our country
has become used to welcoming leaders from
many walks of life from nations of continental
Europe and Great Britain. But here, for the
first time in modern history, we are being rep
resented overseas by band of healthy young
fellows who members of the great Boy

Today's Talk
A GOOD HABIT
BY George Matthew Adams


Get the thank-habit.
1t is one of the best habits that you
can form. Just think a minute-did
you ever regret thank you" from
anyone? Did it ever make you feel
mean, dissatisfied out of sorts? Has
i. ever brought you a feeling of re.
morse for service rendered? Well
then
Get the thank-habit.
It isn't always necessary to express
your feeling of thankfulness In words
Once get the habit thoroughly and you
will live it unconsciously. Thankful
men and women show in their very
eyes and attitude that they have the
habit-it's the most Snowy quality
you can have.
And it's contagious, too. You meet q
gruff, unpleasant person. He renders
a necessary service as though he were
a mechanical device of some kind. But
then YOU thank him-and he becomes
human!
For thank-you-fulness is a powerful
stimulant. All days are fine days. all
people are square people, all happen.
ines are for the best, somehow, to the
one who has thoroughly mastered the
"thank-ha bit"
To thank is the most dignified habit
among all the useful habits. And OF
all habits, it is one of the easiest to
form and least expensive to practice
So hand out the thanks-freely, with a
broad, healthy smile. It's a great in
vestment. The dividends simply roll
back to you.
Get the thank-habit, now.
