worthy of the opportunities that life puts be-

A thinker from another planet, looking at
this crowd of foolish humans, representing,
only too WELL many millions among u.s. would
leave the earth discouraged, saying: "Those
poor creatures down there are not worth the
slightest attention. l. will travel no longer
among them" ...-.
This picture by MIR. Opper is like photo
graph Of folly. But his description of certain
types fortunately, is not quite as. bad as it
seems. If it were, the best thing that could hap
ben to the earth would be for a comet to strike
it, or some dark huge body to collide with it,
and scatter it back to original dust
Many of the very foolish, well and humor-
ously presented here, become less foolish as
time goes by. The man reading the Dream
Book" sometimes changes his reading to a-bet-
ter book or changes his dreams into action.
The poor fool that bets on the races or gam
bles in some other way occasionally discovers
that gambling is the most dangerous of the
vices, and is the better for temporary sad ex-
.Derience.

What is the greatest human weakness
shown in this picture? It is CREDULITY, un-
limited capacity for believing almost anything.
A poor fool reads that if he will bring his money
to Slippery and Slick" he can invest it on
basis of $50 or 500 per cent. He knows well that
money is worth only eight per cent at most,
even in these days of usury. But out he goes,
with his pocketbook, and when he comes to the
office of Slippery and Slick" IN he goes.
Sometimes lit kes a dozen lessons to cure him,
sometimes hole lifetime does not cure him.
The fortune teller's victim knows perfectly
well that "the tall handsome millionaire" is

character other sides less foolish She may

Everything changes. The creeping caterpil-
lar for whom you feel as sorry as you do for
the buyer of wildcat stocks, that caterpillar is
the gay butterfly of tomorrow, up in the air
above your head. And sometimes the wildcat
purchaser, after being thoroughly bitten, be-
comes a sensible investor, knowing real value
when he sees it.
Mr.. Opper's idea in this picture is not to
make fun of human weakness, but to give to
readers, who will turn it over to those that need
it. a sort of adnonitory- warning -cartoon-val-
entine. In every corner of this cartoon there is
a good-natured smile, for all of Opper's teach
ing and rebuking is based on good nature. SYM

A good deal of apparent human foolishness
and emptiness of mind is caused by life's dull
ness. Upton Sinclair, of "The Jungle" fame,
once wrote good line. Replying to those that
had criticized Woodworking, underpaid men
for getting drunk, Upton Sinclair asked, eff
you were in hell, wouldn't you get drunk if you
could" The answer was, of course, that any
body in torment would do anything to escape
from realization of the horror about him.
Many human beings do very foolish things
to escape from the boredom around them and
the mental dullness within themselves.
Women shut out from all share in public
important affairs have concentrated too much
attention on fashions, on their own personality,
instead of developing their own minds That
will change, now that wider opportunities are
offered.
Foolish young men make heroes of prize
fighters and baseball players, jockeys and
others not important intellectually, because
they have never been taught what really is
worth while in the world.
If you see your friend in this picture, warn
him. If you see any useful hint for yourself,
don't RESENT it. make it USEFUL
There is hope for every one of Mr.. Opper's
characters but ONE-the one that will not
learn.

GOLDEN BOOK OF BOY SCOUTS

Boy scouts of Philadelphia are to
have unique record of their achieve
ments. The local council, at the sug-
geStion of DIR. Charles d. Hart. have
had book made of golden parchment,
In which are to be recorded the names
and deeds of boy scouts who have done
particularly heroic service. The book
contains first of all. the names of the
IL of the 407 Philadelphia scouts, who
paid the supreme sacrifice for their
country in the World war. Next fol-
lows a permanent record Of the names
and deeds of all those boy scouts of
Philadelphia who, having risked their
lives for others, have earned the med
ais of honor granted by the National
court of honor. So far, there are six
names in this second group, as fol-
lows:
Bronze medal-Scout Lex Newman,
who on June, 1916, saved a cOmrade
from drowning in a stone quarry.
Bronze medaI-ScOut Fred Lange,
who, in February, 1920. saved four
year-old child from burning to death.
Bronze medal-Scout William J. Cas-
sells, who, in June, 1919, saved a fell
low scout from death by drowning.
Bronze medal-ScOut Thomas Muir
ray, June. 1920 for striking water res
cue at scout camp.
Silver medal-Scout Walter Friek,
June, 1920, for saving another boy
from drowning.
Silver medal-Scout Albert Grow,
June, 1920, for rescuing another boy
from drowning in the Manayunk canal,
the second feat of the kind performed
by him in the same canal.
An impressive service of investiture
cation of the Golden Book, in which
the six living young heroes partici-
pated. All scouts present stood at at
tention While the names of the recipi-
ents of the honor were read off, with
the official recital of the deed of cour-
age, for which each was to receive
recognition Each scout, so honored
was summoned by bugle blast and
stood while his name was being en-
rolled in the Book of Heroes, and re-
ceived his medal from the chairman
of the council. After this ceremony
was completed, each scout, in turn,
after three blasts of the bugle, retraced
his steps through the archway of col
Ors. The ceremonial followed is SINH
lar to that of the bestowal of the
Victoria Cross or the Croix de Guerre,

loss of flesh or sallow complexion, for
kidney troubles in its worst form may
be stealing upon you

feel the aches, pains and other dlscom-
forts leave you. Never mind the failures
of the past. This treatment is entirely
different. 1t consists of three separate
and distinct preparations, each for a GER
tain purpose, sufficient to make a con-
tinuous 30-day treatment that costs but
800, the price of a single visit from your
family physician.
Start to-day. Kidney and bladder trou-
bles don't wear away. They will grow
upon you slowly. stealthily and with un-
failing certainty.

FAMINE STAMPS.

There have been death and distress
from famine in China. To raise funds
to save the people from starvation the
Chinese government has surcharged
some of the Chinese stamps as a char
ity series; these are sold for extra
sums which go into these funds. Thus
if you, an American boy. pay two or
three or four cents for one of these
stamps, you are indirectly paying that
much money toward helping the fam
ine-stricken people of China.-Kent b
