PRINCIPLE OF SCOUTING.

Scouting is becoming an important
factor in the successful raising of
boys to manhood. The scout move
ment develops the sense Of duty in
the youngster that enables him to
probe within himself for the manly
It's man-size job to
be done in a mans way, and w. A.
Perry, the editor of Scouting, offers a
few lines on that subject:
II am not interested in scouting in
a high-priced school amid landscape
gardening, and statuary, and drinking
fountains-all made by somebody else
Il am Interested in a forest far from
civilization, where / must either con-
quer nat11re-or confess myself a
weakling. 1t is fine thing to teach
boys to stand in line with spotless uni
forms and win the applause of crowd
gathered to witness a dress parade.
But would rather develop boy, so
that he could walk alone into a world
of wickedness, conscious of the great
laws back of 1t all, with spirit which
would make him forget self and fight
for the right"

Lest you forget, we again call the atten-
ton of Review readers to the fact that the uni
versa military training bill is before Congress and
everyone in favor of the plan should notify their
senators and congressman to that effect at opce.
If the bill is passed every boy will receive six
months training at some military camp between
the age of 18 and 10. This would not only help
them if ever called out for active service but the
physical, mental and moral effects of we'll disci-
plined and regulated half year at that period
would go far in making them more valuable citi-
zens in peace time This was clearly demonstra-
ted in 1917 and 1918 whenever a soldier in train
ing paid a visit to his home town. Regardless of
his previous good standing and worth, the few
weeks or months in camp had added an improved
quality to him that was not there the morning
that he first left for the training camp.
The best men in the legal profession believe
that with this measure in constant operation the
percentage of youthful law violators would be re-
duced so per cent Business men endorse it by
saying that the average earning power of the boys
would be increased 25 per cent after learning to
obey orders from superior officers without ques-
ton or delay Health officials claim that it would
add greatly to the physical development of the
future Americans, and perhaps the greatest bene-
fits of all would come from the tendency to break
down class and race prejudices which rapidly
growing in this country and can only result badly
for the universal democracy of man for which the
United States has always stood and always should
stand
Let your representatives in Washington know
how you stand.

FRIDAY, JAN. Is, 1920

Today, January 16, is a day that women OF
the United States have reason to celebrate with
unrestrained JOY and thanksgiving because of the
fact that national prohibition becomes effective
by constitutional amendment. Personally, we
would have preferred to have seen the change come
through direct vote on the matter rather than
by action of congress and the legislatures. The
right of the majority to rule looks good to us al
ways Also, we feel that it would have been more in
harmony with the spirit of true Americanism to
have repealed the war time prohibition act before
it went into force July 1. However, six months
of national prohibition quite openly violated, is
shown by the police court records of every city to
have greatly reduced drunkenness just it always
did when tried in any small town even though
surrounded by wet towns When a man
thinks of what national prohibition means to mil
lions of women and children who have suffered
from the effects of the saloon in the United States,
only those who worship the Order of Camels above
all else can scott at the rejoicing today. Prohibi
ton does not mean that all drinking will auto
maticaly cease, though judging from the six
months trial of it, it will grow less month by
month Neither does it mean that there will be
no fight to re-establish the old order of things.
Dry leaders will do well to muzze their fanaticism
on prohibiting the use of tobacco and other evils
for the next few years until the main issue is safe
ly beyond repeal

The reason frost occurs on low
lands when there is none on high
ground is because the higher ground
cools off more rapidly than the lower,
and the upper stratum of air being
thus condensed, flows downward and
deposits the moisture, which changes
into frost. Cold air Is heavier than
warm and settles to the bottom.
