BOY
SCOUT s
(Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
SCOUTS EMBODY BEST IDEALS

During my four years in Germany
says James w. Gerard, former Ameri-
can ambassador, 81 saw much of the
child life of that country. The chill
dren were paraded through the streets
singing their songs of hate. In the
schools they were taught deliberate
perversion of history. For instance :
The Fatherland did not wish to injure
the Belgians, but the wicked Belgians
promised to allow our troops to pass
through their country and then at
tackled them" .rt
How different are the methods that
are used to bring out the best in the
childhood Of this, our own country
While the Germans had organizations
which were intended to develop hatred
and like passions in the hearts Of the
young, we have the BO. Scouts of
America. This splendid organization
well illustrates the difference In ideals
between the two countries. In the
Boy Scouts the boy subscribes to an
oath to be true to himself and his
country and to keep himself morally
and physically fit at all times. He also
pledges himself to "do a good turn
daily"
The boy is taught woodcraft and
many other useful things. He partici-
pates in big public functions and civic
ceremonials. From the very first he is
led into the higher citizenship.

Delay Return of
u. S. Dead
Bodies of Americans MayNot
Be Sent I Home Until 1922.

The $4,000 American dead in France
must be left in the graves they now
occupy until the French are ready to
exhume their own dead, which may
not be before January 1. 1922.
The foreign Office had promised to
consider the formal request of the
American government for the return
Of its fallen soldiers, but later the fol-
lowing official announcement was
made:
'Tt has been definitely decided that
the allies who fell together for the
same cause should remain together
until circumstances permit of the re-
turning of the bodies to the families
for whom they sacrificed themselves"
The proposed law forbidding the ex-
humation of the soldier dead for three
years did not pass at the last session
of the chamber of deputies. but the
foreign Office expects that it will be
adopted soon.
French families also want their
dead, but there are so many thousands
unidentified among the dead and trans
portation is inadequate to move the
100000 bodies in the various ceme-
teries. The British and Belgian gov
ernments are urging the return of their
dead, but France considers it only fair
to treat all countries alike.

HINTS FOR
POULTRY GROWERS

At this season of the year fowls are
likely to have colds. 1t is true that
the weather is pleasant as general
rule. but that does not keep fowls
from disorders more or less annoying
to them.
The most common head and throat
troubles of fowls are colds and ca
tarrh. The symptoms of colds are
running, dirty and stopped-up nostrils.
The symptoms Of catarrh are difficult
and rapid breathing, with mouth open,
and whistling or bubbling In throat
due to phlegm. These troubles are
most common in fall and winter, and
are easily overcome.
Simple colds and catarrh can be
prevented by removing the above caus-
es and breeding constantly for health
and vigor. To treat, search out and
isolate in separate quarters all infect
ed fowls and give stimulating food
seasoned with cayenne pepper, or the
following tonic:
Pulverized gentian, one pound; pull
verified ginger, quarter pound; pulver-
lied saItpeter, quarter pound; pulver-
lied iron sulphate, quarter pound.
Use two to three tablespoonful Of
the tonic to ten quarts of dry mash.

Manjak, Used for Painting
and Preserving Iron, Win
Not Melt Under 400 Deg. T.

Manjak is rapidly coming into use
In the Trinidad oil fields as pre-
sentative of metals because Of its
toughness, its excellent insulating
property, it's resistance to heat and its
imperviousness to water and air.
Manjak is an almost pure bitumen,
much like asphalt in its chemical COM
position, but while asphalt melts at
100 degrees F., manjak needs more
than 400 degrees F. to melt it. 1t is
80 to 90 per cent carbon, the rest be-
ing hydrogen and small quantity of
sulphur. 1t looks like coal, is odor-
less, hard, brittle and easily separated
in it's long, pencil-shaped grain. When
melted and applied in liquid state it
hardens to an almost unbreakable rub
5er-like coating. 1t is used for paint
ing pipe lines, boilers, chimneys,
sprocket wheels, pinions and other
ironware and machinery. 1t is espe-
tally efficaeious on the joints of the
pipes used in drilling for oil, on car

Fathers Strange Story.
Born in the province of WestphaIia.
Germany, William Koss, the father,
said he had spent three years in the
army. The major of, his battalion
was the former kaiser. then Prince
William. The day following his mar
riage he sailed for the United States
and. In 1888. settled on the eastern
shore of Green river. Eleven chill
dren were born.
Koss said the mother was I'll, nerv-
Gus and irritable during the last eight
or nine years of her life. This caused
her to pass the two small boys on to
the care OF the others very often.
Each member of the family, he said,
apparently preferred his or her own
solitude. and the two boys. Herbert
and Ernest, were left to the care of
their deaf mute sister.

"And that's how they never learned

Custom of Wig Wearing
Was Started in France

The custom of wearing a wig as a
recognized part of the costume dates
from the early days of the seventeenth
century. 1t started in France when
Louis XIII, being greatly struck with
the '1ong, fair locks" Of the Able la
Rivere, attained by the simple means
of a periwig, adopted the style for
himself, and so set the fashion. By
the time of Charles III the wearing of
the periwig, or peruke, or perruque,
had become general. Pepys records
the fact that he paid f3 for one: but
it was not until the time of Queen
Anne that periwigs, or wigs for short,
really came into their own. Then did
they appear in the full glory Of an
ever-changing though fast-stabilizing
fashion.

Basel Sample Fair win
Have Permanent Building;
America May Have Exhibit

Basel, Switzerland, grows toward
cosmopolitan cities in the world. Into
stations come the railway lines from
London. Paris, Rotterdam, Hamburg,
Christiania, Copenhagen, Stockholm,
and Berlin to the north and west; and
to the south and east from Italy, Po-
land. Austria, and the Balkan states.
Thus Basel sits conveniently at the
center of the newly arranged CONNER
cial map of Europe, and becomes its
natural market place. One may date
this state of affairs from the begin
ming of the annual sample fair at
Basel two years ago, and the increas-
ing number of firms that see the adj
vantage of bringing their samples
show that the exhibition has a more
and more important place in the bust
ness life Of the contributing nations.
The state government Of the Canton
thinks so we'll of the sample fair that
some 100000 francs have been ex-
pended to erect a permanent building
for it: and manufacturers in England
have gone farther and are projecting
a permanent exhibition in Basel OF
English-made goods. Although no
mention is yet made Of the United
States, it is hardly likely, in the awak-
ening of American exporters and man.
ufacturers to the possibilities of Eu-
ropean trade, that the sample fair
will go on Indefinitely without an
American section.

extreme ranges in year are said to
be 81 to 81, and the annual mean 81.
There are three well-marked seasons,
temperate and dry from November to
February, hot and dry from March to

June to October. The rainy season
reaches its maximum in July and Au-

QId-Time Sailors Would
Not Make Voyage Without
Carrying Good Luck Charm

think of sailing without a charm or
pocketpiece of some kind to ward Off
ba- luck. Wind beads were a favorite
and in nearly every port were maidens
to sell them.
Tattoos were considered essential
for bon voyage, especially the butter
fly on the shoulder predominated for
good luck. A pig tattooed on the foot
was assurance the man would never
drown
And so the old sailor, by the hour,
could spin yarns and point to strange
fate-inexplicable disaster always laid
to the door of superstition.
