Among the Many Useful Things Scouts Learn Is the Measuring of Distance.
EYES TO THE BLIND.

And, God kindly extend Thy bless ings to the boy scouts of Pasadena !" So prays a grateful blind man nightly out in California This is the story behind his prayer a big story for all it's simplicity:
 You can get back your sight" said the doctor, provided you will take long walks daily. Exercise is the only thing that will help you"
 Think of it, boys To be able to see again, to see birds and trees and mountains and the faces of friends and dear ones after long blackness e But how could he take those long daily walks by himself? And he was a poor man. How could he afford to hire companion to guide him? It was almost hopeless. He must go on in darkness unless God could bring help as by miracle.
 What happened? The miracle A troop of boy scouts heard of the sad case and volunteered to take turns in escorting the blind man daily on his walk. Best of all, the doctors proph- ecy is coming true The man will get back his sight and the boy scouts of Pasadena will have another good turn to their credit

SEESLIFE'S DRAMA
Lawyer Always the Man "Behind
 the SCenes."
Pathos In His Knowing of Good and Bad Fortune Awaiting Those Who Have No Knowledge of
 the Future.

Words that change mans whole personality, is the view of Cora Har- ris hero-Colonel Wilkie-whose story was in the Woman's Home Compan- ion.
 ''The man about to part with his substance by will to his heirs is not the man whom the community knows, not even the one whom his family knows," says 'the Colonel" "He usually comes in secretly for this business. He brings out private edi- tion of himself and leaves it as his last will and testament, to be pub lished after his death. He is con cerned that no one, especially no mem- Der of his family, shall know that he has done this thing. And he invaria- bly, takes his departure with the air of one who has just committed an in- voluntary crime. For he is sure to discover that there is no possible way of disposing of his estate which will be satisfactory to his heirs, provided he has more than one.
 If the wills I have in this office now were all published without warn- ing they would disrupt the family life of this country like an internal revo- iution. And if it were possible to take out extradition papers for testa- tors who have passed to their reward in another world, we should see more than one old saint haled before the bar of justice, to answer the accusa- tions of indignant relatives.
 q have drawn practically every will that has been made here for 20 years. It is like watching a drama which no one else sees. Next to the Lord him. self, probably know more about what will happen here to more people than any one else can imagine. have only to sit beside my window in order to see a score of heirs passing back and forth on the street down there, many of whom have not the faintest idea of their own future. They are rehearsing parts that they will never play. There are poor men who will be awkwardly rich, and others who think they will be rich that are cut off with no more than the proverbial shilling. For ex-
 
 ample, there is a woman living here who to the people of Bedford is use full spinster earning living by bak- ing cakes and buns. But to me she is little old Cinderella, with flat feet, red hands and wrinkled face. have had a will in my desk for seven years which bequeaths her fortune. The testator lives in another state. He was her lover many years ago. She has forgotten him.
 "Well, all this legal knowledge of their affairs has the effect of remov- ing me from the unintelligent audi ence I am in the wings behind the stage, sort of property man. who manages the first scene after the funeral"

How pevIce Shuts Out Rain.

An automatic device which takes care of the windows of a house or apartment, and closes them when 1t be- gins to rain, has been perfected by L. NJ. Phelps of Philadelphia. It is quite automatic and its action is said to be positive. In his device loop lever, connected with a stationary rod at tached as a permanent fixture to the lower corner of the upper window sash, is held in position by a narrow strip of plotting paper.
 So long as the paper Is dry 1t is rigid enough to hold the delieately ad- justed lever, but single drop of rain will so soften the paper that 1t allows the loop of the lever to fall and thus to release the pressure of the lever against the lower sash. Since the sash Is weighted with bag of sand or small shot, 1t will drop and close the win dow against the ra.n>

THE BOND OF SCOUTING

s. H. Marshall, an English scout off writes as follows in an article in The Trail, the official organ of the London scout council:
 American boy scouts are very much as we are.
 Tt is a tremendous responsibility upon the shoulders of the executives of the Boy Scouts of America, and our own executives to guide alright the thoughts, hopes and aspirations of the youth of these two great English speaking nations. We must remem- Der our colonies are part of us and our great empire, but Americans owe allegiance to their own President and government. though they speak our tongue-surely the closest of ties It is therefore our bounden duty to take every step we can to further the closest relationship possible between us. Animated by the same ideals as we are, it should be our aim to de- stroy all thoughts of distrust and sus- picion between the two great nations and encourage the hope that working
 
 together we can really make the world safe for democracy Among all the American scout officials there is the keenest desire to learn all about us, to study the best that is in us and take it to ourselves. From our age long character, from our qualities of perseverance and doggedness, they can learn something whilst we, too. from their buoyant enthusiasm and youth, can help ourselves to the full. Who knows but what the boy scout move ment in America will have the great est influence that any movement in that country has ever had in shaping the destinies of a great people, and in binding together two people hay ing more in common than any other people in the world?"

 DIVISION IF FLEET
PLAN INAUGRATED BY JoSEPHUs DANIELS WILL BE MAIN
 TANNED.
NO REASON IS ASSIGNED
Pacific Squadron To Be Much More Formidable Than That Kept in the Atlantic-WiII Be Seven First
 Line BattIeships.

Washington.-The Harding admin istration has decided to continue the Daniels policy of division of the navy into n Atlantic and a Pacific fleet, despite the opposition of the leading naval strategists, who say that such disposal of the nations sea forces will mean disaster in the event of war.
 The Pacific fleet is to be made stronger than the Atlantic fleet by the assignment to the Pacific of all the newer and more powerful oil-burning first line battleships and the assign ment to the Atlantic of the older coal burning ships.
 The total tonnage of the Atlantic fleet as organized will be 699, ,473, ex- elusive of submarines, and that of the Pacific fleet 5,296 The Pacific fleet will be given two more first line battleships eventually than at pres ent. These ships now are under con- struct1on, but the Pacific fleet will lose one second line battleship. In the aggregate the Pacific fleet will be ~N,ONO tcAio hCdNlCl tlldn nOW.
 There will be seven Eventually nine) first line and six second line battleships in the Pacific fleet, com pared with Il battleships of all classes in the Japanese navy. The Japanese have, in addition, four bat tie cruisers, and are building eight, while America has none and is build ing six. The tonnage of the Japanese navy is $40, ,426.
 Secretary of the Navy Denby has announced the plans of the reorgani- zation of the navy When asked if these plans indicate the policy of the administration on the question of re- uniting the fleets, he replied.
 Tt means a continuation of the pol icy of two fleets.
 The secretary declined to state the reasons for continuing the Daniels policy or to discuss the matter further than outlining the reorganization plan. The decision to maintain the navy in divided state was made by the president, it transpires, after con- sulting with MT. Denby, Secretary of State Hughes and other members of the cabinet
 The failure of Congress to provide Pacific bases adequate for the main- tenance for the entire navy in the Pacific is said to have been a factor in the decision. At the same time the administration believed it unwise, on account of the international situa- tion in the Pacific, to withdraw the Pacific fleet and reunite the navy in the Atlantic, although the foremost naval authorities have said that the navy would be better prepared if based as a whole in the Atlantic.
