The head of a surety company some days ago cN- pressed tlc conviction as result of his observation that married men. fat men and proiane men offer the best risks in his business There may be a valid reason why married men would be dctcrrod from violating a trust even tboueb under circumstances they might mot refrain Family diselacc and the pain that would be inflicted on
 innocent persons through the husbands crimes might op crate To keep them in the straight path though there uieIt bc just as powerful reason for the unmarried man with parents and brothers and sisters o avoid pccula iou.

SCOUTS AS FOREST GUIDES.

The plan for making scouts agents

jects: one, the preservation and con-
servation Of the forests and the bird
and other wild life I'm them, and sec

in the responsibility for wild life and
a greater interest in trees, birds and

the plan will be of great value wher-

Woman and civic Responsibilities.

In so far as one can generalize from
the experience of the last few years,
women are taking all their new civic
duties with commendable thorough
ness. The widespread activities OF
the women's citizen associations have
done much TO arouse the female voter
to the realities, and more especially
the responsibilities Of civic life. And
these excellent bodies have worked on
likely material, for those women who
have thrown themselves into public
affairs have not erred on the side OF
undertaking the value of hard work.
