DlARIST PAINTS A PORTRAIT
Unconsciously Reveals His True Self
While Setting Down Record Of
the Daily Events.

No man has ever yet succeeded in
painting an honest portrait of himself
in an autobiography, however sedu
lousy he may have set to work about
it. In spite of his candid purpose he
omits necessary touches and adds SUI
perfluOus ones. At times he cannot
help draping his thought, and the least
shred of drapery becomes a disguise.
1t is only the diarist who accomplishes
the feat Of self-portraiture, and he,
without any such end in view, does it
uncOnsciously. A man cannot keep a
daily record of his comings and gOings
and the little items that make up the
sum of his life, and not inadvertently
betray himself at every turn. He lays
bare his heart with a candor not pos
sible to the self-consciousness that
inevitably colors premeditated revela-
ton. While Pepys was filing those
small octave pages with his perplex-
ing cipher he never once suspected
that he was adding Photographic
portrait of himself to the worlds gal
lery. We are more Intimately ac-
ouainted with Mr.. Samuel Pepys, the
inner man.-his little meannesses and
his large generosities-than we are
with half tie persons we call our dear
friends. Papers" Thomas

Many of the insects and fungi that
prey upon deciduous fruits in Ameri-

reel motion picture recently released
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. The picture will be circu-
lated through the departments system

provides as far as possible for the re-
quests of other users of educational
films. Copies may be bought for about
$40 each by authorized institutions.
The picture. for which the bureaus
of entomology and plant industry are
the authorities, shows scenes in beauti-

SCOUTMASTERS NEEDED.

"Fine work :" everybody said when
the Pueblo boy scouts rose to the oc-
casiOn in the emergency of the food
and went about aiding the police, rem
derlng 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-trst and anti
fly and observation-disclosures cam
paigns.
Again, when we happen to notice
scout giving his seat to a lady ON
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
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 little
straighter, little manler 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 lG,6S5 scoutmasters IN the
United States serving 10000 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 a
priceless opportunity pass by him If he
isn't lining up with scouting, doing his
bit for the boys of America who need
his leadership.

BY.PRODUCT OF SEA-SCOUT
TRAINING.

Sea scouts are, in addition to their
technical water training, learning
something that all good Americans
prize as worth more than diamonds
and gold, namely: judgment.
Judgment In boat, as nowhere
else on earth, judgment (or sea 1udg-
ment) Is prime necessity. Poor
judgment bangs your schooner boats
nose into the wharf-poor judgment
leaves the water barrels empty, or
worse, rocks the boat, drops oars over
board, or capsizes. Good judgment
comes to boy or man only after he
has tried to beat the sharp-eyed old
girl known as Mother Nature, who
has skinned his knuckleS, BACKED his
eye, doused him and spanked him. Her
eye Is kind on the land, but out on
the water it glitters gray and green,
like the eye of a, shark. Look out,
there landlubber. She'll get you sure
If you don't steer Il straight course

turned to see some one else entering
the room.
"Ah, Mr.. Travis. Jim wrote me about

She gave him u shy, sweet look of
farewell as she slipped away.
RosamOnd Travis sank down in

She was weedy and fair, with too
much rouge and a drawing, affected

"Jims such a funny old thing she
said in bored voice. How he stands

But Mark Travis after some minutes
found that he must go, and he said
good-by to the girl smoking by the fire
and went out into the rich, spacious
hall. Some one was slipping out by
the door from another room, and he
saw with a quickening heart that it
was slight black-clad figure.

up to her half way down the block.

Exnlains Moon Superstition.

The notion that the moon Is dan.
gerous while one is asleep is so firmly
fixed even In the modern mind that
very many people would not will
ingly go to sleep IN the moonlight. Yet
science has proved the connection to
be entirely fallacious.
In an old saga one reads story
which explains the origin of this SUI
perstition. 1t seems that warrior
who was being pursued went to sleep,
and that Its changing path caused the
moon to reveal him 70 his enemies.
Luckily he awoke before they killed
him, and he escaped. But the strain
was so great that he became mad.
