Scotch Youths Selected by
Sir Ernest Shackleton as
Cabin Boys ON Quest
for $4,000 Mile Trip
By Harold +. Scarborough

LONDON, September /.
INTO the lives of two Scotch Boy
Scouts there has come Adventure
~ with capital "a" They are to
make voyage of 10000 miles,
through uncharted Antarctic seas. upon
. little schooner scarcely bigger than
an oyster boat. And, what is as i'm
nortant to them, they are to serve Sir
Ernest Shacklcton, the explorer. as
cabin boys.
A few weeks ago 1t became known
that tho little Quest was to put into
London for her finishing touches be-
lore starting on her long voyage of ex-
ploration in the South Polar regions
And then Sir Ernest Shackleton casu-
silly announced that he would probably
: need cabin boy to go along, and that
he thought a Boy Scout would fill the
bill best.
= One thousand Boy Scouts promptly
applied for the job. If the others had
heard of It in time, they probably also
would have begged to be taken along.
The spirit that sends the Englishman
out to tho ends of tho earth in his
wanderings still Is pretty much in evil
dence, despite what the pessimists say
about the decline of the empire. Chat is
not to mention the spirit which would
prompt any normal boy of any Anglo
Saxon country to volunteer for lit
tie jaunt such as the Quest's.)
The 1000 applicants were narrowed
down to ten by the Boy Scout head
quarters hero, and these ten boys were
called to London to interview Sir
Ernest, in order that be might choose
one Of them.
Sir Ernest Solves Problem
By Selecting Two Boys
The choice narrowed down to two,
both Of whom seemed equally good.
Sir Ernest solved his dilemma by ac-
cepting both of them. If there were
two prouder boys in the British Isles
at the moment when the explorer made
known his decision, persons who
watched the faces of the two chosen

at moreNhan $4,000, which have
had some curious adventures.
A certain Rresian count, famous in
the days of t. Gar, was forced to
zee from the Bolsheviki. He escaped
with the carpets. These had been given
to one of his ancestors by former
Cxar of Russia, who had received them
from q Shah Of Persia of that time
several hundreds of years ago. The
Shah probably had them made for his
harem or castle.
The count eventually arrived at
Batum, and, discovering that he was
without money, handed over his trea-
sured possessions to Russian Jew
who was on his way to England, in
structing him to sell them. The Jew
took the carpets, paying the count a
substantial deposit, and brought them
with him to London.
The carpets are still here, and no
one knows what finally will become of
them. At present their trustees have
considered the only safe place f1s
them is the strong vault of bank.

Trees ALONG THE ROAD
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1921
If 1 were asked what, OF all the
beautiful things I saw in the beauti-
full country of France, was the most
beautiful, L should unhesitatingly
reply:
The trees>along the road"
l have only to close my eyes to
see them now-the long white road
stretching away, and above it the
arched trees.
1t seems to be a general custom
, here to line the highway with trees.
And it bespeakS at once the taste. the
good sense and the thrift of these
! people.
Trees are beautiful anywhere-in
! their native forest, dumped I'm
meadows where the cows shelter in
their shade. about the house. in the
garden and in the park-but take il
all in all l think l like them best by
the roadside.
There they are public-everybody's
| trees, as trees ought to be- They
shade equally the king in his coach
and the vagabond asleep at their feet.
! And they are there deliberately.
| Men must plant them there. And SO
| it shows men appreciate them. They
| stand as invited guests. They are de-
! servedly honored.
| And there is something about a row
1 of trees that is especially appealing.
1t is the most magnificent of process
sions. 1t is the permanent standing
| army of beauty.
| AS you look down long avenue of
| trees you find 1t easy to believe that
architects got their first idea of
| cathedral nave from the spectacle OF
! their meeting branches.
Such a tree-guarded road is spien-
didly, solidly. spiritually charming.
4! When think of the infinite reaches
| of treeless bare roads 1 have traversed
| in America, / wonder why we could
not follow the hint of the French.
For these trees are valuable, eco
nomically as well as sentimentally.
They say one-tenth of France is in
| trees.
The government carefully looks
after forestry. for wood is con-
| siderable national asset, Some day
America is going to wake up to the
necessity of conserving its trees
One of the most distressing pic
lures of the war-devastated area that
| remains in my mind, is that OF miles
of road with the trees all cut down.
| whether by artillery or by the malice
| of the German army.
| was told that two acts of the
boche made Frenchmen the most
furious, One was taking away
French girls by the Germans to do
farm work, herded by brutal officers,
ant; the other was the needless cut
1 ting down of trees, particularly
/ orchards. for to these people. and .

NATL. BANKS GAIN

Comptroller of the Currency John
Sk elton Williams yesterday morn
ing issued what will probably be
his last call upon all banks in the
District of Clumbis. and all national
banks, for a statement of condition
as Of the close of business Monday,
February 81.
The latest call differs from the
previous one insofar as 1t includes
the publication of the number of Of
ficers in each national bank, and
the aggregate salaries for the month
of January and the annual pay for
1921 based on the salary received
during January. The number of
employees and the January salaries
in addition to the 1921 salary based
on last months pay shall likewise
be made public. The amount of
call money loaned in New York City,
and also the amount of time money
loaned. is also called for in the re-
port.
Returns from national banks, with
the exception of Lincoln and Com
mercial. which compilations were
not available, showed total deposits
as of February 81 as sss.4s3.740.35
contrasted with s6s,72S,022.1s on De-
cember 20, the previous call.
Trust company deposits on Feb
ruary 81 totaled s53,53s,s05.45 a,
compared with $54,77s,642.39 on De,
cember 90.
Although figures for all the banks
in Washington are not yet avail
able, those received are favorable
beyond expectation. Owing to tn,
heavy purchases of Treasury certifi-
Gates coupled with heavy withdraw
ais of funds to meet income taxes
