well known lover of the gtage. Music

OF him, not as Jean Paurel, the great

his career as a philandereran cpl

picture which comes to the Grand
theater for two days commencing

AT first he loved and was true only
to the sweet voiced Blanca, to whom
he sang in, Don Giovanni. But in
tr.gue and jealousy came between
them. Then the, power of suggestion
beagn its slow, sure inroad on his
character. Press agents and impress
sarios heralded his arrival as the
coming OF 1.-THE Great Lover" More
and more audiences began to think
OF and applaud him as such instead
of as Jean Paurel, the greatest tenor.
Fair women courted him-sent flow
ers to tism and wrote him notes.
Finally this definition of his per-
sonality believed in by thousands,
became the influence which made OF
him what public opinion claimed
and in return he lived up to his rep
utatiOn. r. 4s.
Then Fate, with one swift stroke,
ended this artificial existence. The
great tenor loses his peerless voice.
simultaneously his tickle heart Is
awakened to the realization OF some
thing deeper than infatuation, and
the touchstone is, unhappily, to his
own sons bride to be.

Have System ia Reading.

The reading of good literature
should not be spasniodic. TO read
many hours a day for a few days,
then not to look into a book for
weeks or months, will never do. Ev.
cry day, if only for Is minutes a day,
some WORTHWHILE book should hold
the attention. On frequent occasions
If circumstances permit. it should be
read aloud. Thus, sleeping oneself in
good words, there will gradually be an
accretion in the depths Of the mind
of material available for personal use
as the demands of conversation make
necessary. Addington Bruce IN

THROWING WEALTH INTO We
SUVIUS

If all the men, women and children in
the United States could hurry by the
seething crater of Mount Vesuvius at the
rate of three persons a second, and if
each cast into its all destroying depths a
five-dollar gold piece, and continued to
do so day and night for year, the money
thus destroyed would nearly equal our
1920 fire waste of over $500,000,000. If,
in addition about every half hour, one of
this rushing throng-usuaHy woman or
child-should fall into that sea of molten
lava, the $4,000 lives lost annually in this
manner would approximate Americas
estimated fatalities by fire each year.
Does it not seem incredible that anv ma
ton should allow such devastation to
continue unchecked?
Every effort must be made, therefore.
to acquaint the public with the magni-
tude of the fire destruction and the nee
essity for guarding against the common
fire hazards. While carelessness is con-
sidered to be the chief cause of our huge
fire waste, ignorance is also large fac
tor and consequently the Importance of
education in fire prevention can not be
over emphasized, Safeguarding Ameri-
ca Against Fire.

BOY
SCOUTS

scoUTMAsTERS NEEDED.

"Fine work !" everybody said when
the Pueblo boy scouts rose to the ocf
casion in the emergency Of the floods
and went about aiding the police, rem
dering first aid and saving human lives
at the risk of their own. Wonderful
movement !" we cry when we read how
boy scouts fight forest fires, act as
traffic police, conduct city clean-ups,
take the lead In safety-first and anti
fly and Observation-Disclosures cam
paigns.
Again, when we happen to notice a
scout giving his seat to a lady on a
car, stopping to tell stranger how to
get to his destination, interrupting his
ball game to help somebody fix tire,
jumping into the street to pick up a
bit of broken glass or banana skin,
we are impressed by the spirit which
somehow or other has been instilled
into these lads. Though still just
everyday youngsters, they are a little
stralghter, little manlier because Of
the rigorous discipline of the boy scout
training, little more given to service
because of the daily good turn" boy
scout gospel. But we should remem-
Der that without the scoutmaster's en-
thusiasm and devotion to the boys none
of these results could be realized.
There are 16,6S5 scoutmasters In the
United States serving 109,070 boys.
They are busy men, all Of them, doc
tors, lawyers, ministers. school teach
ers, business men, bankers, editors,
electricians, photographers, giving
their time, their energy, their best
thought and services to scouting. But,
despite all this devoted and patriotic
work the country over, there are hun
dreds Of boys wishing to get into scout
ing who cannot do so because there
are not enough leaders-that is, scout
masters.
Let every live, red-blooded, boy
hearted man In America stop and ask
himself whether he isn't letting q
priceless opportunity pass by him II he
Isn't lining up with scouting. doing his
bit for the boys Of America who need
his leadership.

81 do not consider" said Secretary of
War Weeks to Gen. Wood when the lat
ter assumed the office of Governor Gen
eral of the Philippines, chat it is too
much to say that your efforts contributed
more to remedy our unpreparedness for
war than those of any other individual.
and for this your country will give you
credit long after the circumstances which
denied you the privilege of commanding
in battle the troops you trained. are for
gotten" Mr.. Weeks referred particularly
to the foresight Of Gen. Wood in organ
izing the citizens training camps before
the entry of the United States into the
war. The camps had already turned out
many trained men when the war broke.
and they were used as the model for the
cantonment system under which our en-
tire army was prepared for battle. Gen.
Wood exhibited a patriotism of a re-
quality when he gave up his
of major general to accept
the civilian post in the Philippines, but
he acceded to the urgent request of his
chief, President Harding, and the coun-
try will have the benefit of his unusual
ability and large experience in Philippine
affairs.
