Katharine HaviIand Taylor, the low

and peace right in the middle of Phila-
delphia. 1t happened quite accident
ally. Recently she went apartment
hunting with very little knowledge Of
the residential districts Of PhiladeI-

rented it because there were two limou-
sines out in front, and SO she judged
that the street was all right one Of
those limousines belongs to a broker
of rags and paper, she learned later,
and the other to an Italian peanut
vender. She had moved into the his

Taylor. Il am not bothered by social

CHURN NUMBERS ARE USEFUL
makes Il Simple Matter to Separate
Different Cummings and Sell Ac-
cording to Score.

The use of churn numbers, so that
the receivers of butter can more
readily sort cut separate churnings. is
urged upon creamery men by food
products inspectors of the bureau Of
markets, United States Department Of
Agriculture In a lot of butter rec
emily examined by these inspectors
the score varied from So to 80. As
no churn numbers were shown, the
only way the receiver could separate
the butter was by examining every
tub If the churn numbers had been
shown, il would have been simple
matter to separate the various churn
fngs and sell them according to score
It is not possible TO take time to ex
anime every tub, so the butter is sold
according to the samples taken and
at discount If the samples vary
widely. If there should be just one
poor tub in the shipment and the
sampler happens upon ii. the whole
shipment would suffer while if churn
numbers are used only the tubs in

.When the boys of today shall have
become grown men, the time will have
arrived when this nation will be feel
ing acutely the inevitable shortage Of
timber for our imperative needs, I'M
less In the meantime new attitude
and a new program for the protection
of our disappearing timber supply
shall have been instituted. The boy
scOuts Of today may well exert their
full effort and influence In helping to
assure an adequate wood supply
against the time when they will man
the nation. A first and fundamental
step is misunderstanding the
problem and the way out and helping
other persons to understand it. Let
the boy scouts use every means to-
ward this end. 1t is doubly necessary
now that we are again at the begin
