Don't you know all the camp must feel that way? The log cabins, so invitingly set in a regular city av- enue, or buried among the trees, told stories-just cried them right out loud. And it didn't take but about a second for the imagination to get
 busy and see Boy Scouts climbing to
 the top of a wonderful signal tower; Boy Scouts working hard over
 wireless apparatus, Boy Scouts nov ing, like Indians, among the various
 boy trails" built by their own sturdy brown hands--some of them
 this summer
 You just almost turned ar.und
 quick to see where they had disap- peared so suddenly. You expected
 them any minute to rush around the
 side of the mess hall, and look good and hungry, and line up like drove of brown cartridges, and pitch horse
 shoes while they waited for the smoking, steaming things to be
 brought in from the kitchen and put
 on the big tables.
 One peep into the hall at the huge
 fireplace-and one would almost have
 sworn that Boy Scouts were sitting around fire, swapping yarns.
 Seemed just like that was the smetl
 of baking sweet potatoes and pop corn.
 Wasn't it?
 No, it was just the shadows of
 benches looking like they had theii
 heads together and were questionins
 eagerly: .'When is Saturday coming, when those boys said they'd be back again?
 ..,rhe last bunch planned to be here right away. hope they hurry" And the benches seemed to go on whispering and gossiping about how much all the boys had got done on their cabins. and what big plans they were making to have many Kitchens of their own, attached right to their cabins. so they would nave room and board at the same place. Looking Toward Cahaba Have you ever stood upon Chest nut hill. and looked over the athr letic field? You're looking out to- ward the Cahaba river and the mag nificent hills of God. You're look ing right into big blue sky where the clouds seem to bend down and
 hover over the tops of these cabins these cabins built by boys hands exclusiyely-won boys who will very soon be Birmingham men. Nowhere is there so interesting. and so wonderful, scout camp.
 There are finer camps--and more ex-
 pensive ones equipped with electric lights and modern improvements ot many hundreds of kinds. But the
 Birmin gham boys and their scout masters lave stood out for reg ular "boy made camp CT log cab ins. where they can actually rough 1t and where initiative of the diff ferent troops directs al the work. The boys make their cabins any way they like. Nc one interferes
 with their plans or their ambitions and if they choose 10 build ios- cabin skyscraper. or humble nut. they go to 1t. And don't you forget that some or them make them beautiful Talk about the old days when ',io- neers came from oversea and settled in America. Some of the cabins would do credit to those early tf- forts. The boys stake out claims when they go to build.
 Mud slashes the cabins at he cracks where the wind will come IT and makes them cozy and warm that there's mighty little shiyerias when the door is shut and the fire built winter week ends.

ALL WANTED THE GREEN HAT
Refugee Children Passed It All Along
the Line, Each Wearing 1t for
One Day.

New York-The community hat is
very much of reality in the refugee
colony at Ismidt, Asia Minor, where
approximately 10000 Greeks and Ar
menians, made homeless by the mill
tary operations of the Turkish Nation
alists and Greeks, have sought shelter,
saws a worker of the Near East Relief
who has just arrived in New York.
"a large fraction of the refugees are
children, with the normal fondness OF
The child for bright colors, which can
not be satisfied under the conditions
that they live in" this worker de-
clares. when bundle of old clothes
from America arrived one day there
was great rejoicing among the unfor-
tunate waits who come daily to the
Near East Relief clinic for treatment
for all sorts of maladies. This par
ticular bundle contained hats, all Of
which were passed out, with the ex-
ception of large green picture hat,
the creation of some fashionable mil
liner back in the States.
There came wall from one tiny
to; at the end of the line, who had
failed to receive her hat; so the green
one was given to her, to the great
envy of her companions.
"Clinic hour in the refugee camp is
the event of the day for the children.
On the following day, the green hat
was in line, but the face under it did
not seem the same as the day before.
On the third and fourth day the same
thing occurred Finally the reason
was discovered. The hat was being
passed from child to child, each being
given opportunity to wear the coveted
colors for one day 1t never failed to
make the wearer happy and always,
on the pathetic, thin face underneath
it. was a joyful smile. The fact that
tho hat rarely fitted the shaved head
that sported it made no difference, it
was the bright color rather than the
design that made it so much desired"
The Armenians don't need many
green hats, but they do need practical
hats and warm clothing. Will you not
gather up your cast-offs and send them
to the Near East Relief warehouse at
SAC West goth Street, New York. Self
addressed tags will be mailed on re-
quest made to James w. Thompson,
state director, 229 Plankinton Arcade

MARAT HONORED AS PATRIOT
BIoodthirsty Leader of French Revclu-
ton Inferred With the Great
Ones of the Nation.

From the destruction of the bastiie,
49, years ago, July IA, the commence
ment of the French Revolution is dated,
and its sanguinary fanaticism has no
representative of such odious repul-
siyeness as John Paul Marat, who was
assassinated in 1893. BY birth Swiss
of Calvinistic parents, he had led a
strange life for 45 years-latterly a
sort of quack physician-when the
great national crisis brought him to
the surface as journalist and MEM
Der of the convention. Less than five
feet high, with frightful countenance
and maniacal eye, he was an object OF
aversion to most people; but he had
frantic earnestness and hesitated at
no violence against the enemies of lib
erty, and so came TO possess the en-
tire confidence and affection of the mob
of Paris. His paper daily clamored for
blood and he desired every we'll
dressed person to be put to death. 1t
was on July IA, four years after the
fall of the bastile, that Charlotte Cor
day stabbed him to death in his
bath to avenge the fate of her friend,
one Barbaroux. A-arats death was
treated as public calamity and his
body was deposited III the Pantheon
with great honors.-Chicago Journal.
