SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
DE- A W.II,o.
!I1IIII!lII
BYE. A. Walker

In our own time the supreme quail
tiles of Marshal Foch are traceable
TO the powerful individuality Of his
mother.
From the dawn of history to the
present day, In sacred and secular
affairs, the influence of the mother
has always been the greatest factor
In the development of ability or ge-
MUS. She has been the source of in
splration us she was The source of
being.
Sometimes she has pulled the chill
dren, handicapped by the fathers
characteristics up to her own level.
Sometimes she has pushed them
above both herself and the father by
an indomitable determination that
neither poverty nor i'll fortune Of any
kind should interfere with her am
btions.
Mr.. Vauclaln's plan Of selection will
serve Its purpose In the great majority
Of instances. He Is safe In conclud-
Ing that II the boy had the right kind
Of mother he can count on his being
the right kind of boy.

BOY SCOUTS IN HUNGARY.

Scouting Is ten years old In Hun.
gary and, though the war stopped its
growth for time, the movement was
reorganlzed and put on a firm basis
In September, 1919. In its earlier
stages the Hungarian scout assocla-
ton was, like the German, semi
military organization, but with Its re-
establishment 1t has rejected the mil
itary element and founded itself on
the British and American nonmilItary
basis. The dismemberment Of Hun
gary was severe blow to the progress
Of the movement lnasmuch as more
than 30 per cent Of the Magyar troops
are now In occupied territories. OFF,
GERS, money and equipment are badly
needed. Some Of the boy scouts have
no money even to purchase shoes,
much less scout uniforms. Most Of
the leaders are professional men or
clerks who have hard enough strug-
gle to earn their own living and yet
they devote time and often money to
the cause.
I'VE are all the more proud writes
a Hungarian old scout, that despite
hardships and sufferings, our scouts
unfalteringly, with a strong soul and
in real scout spirit, follow the path
which leads TO our great goal-good
citizenship and real humanity"
The Hungarian boys are particularly
anxious to be 'uc = led In the Inter
national Brotherhood of Scouts and
offer and bespeak In turn good will,
understanding and support In the
spirit Of true scouting.

Among the many heroic deeds per-

story Of the two boy scouts who. on
hearing that several persons were
stranded at the gas works and hang

which they carried over to the swol-
len river, and padded down in the

Spirit Of God In the Church.

There may be some who ask, "Does
the Holy Spirit iii the church today
and transform the hearts and lives of
men as He did In the days of the
Apostles? Yes He does, when the
people Of the churches become more
anxious for the gift of the Spirit than
for outward showing, when the most
earnest prayers are uttered for the
giving of the Spirit of God. In our
devotion to organization, and clubs,
and guilds, we sometimes forget tho
need Of the Heiy Spirit. And yet we
know that souls aye not saved by
clubs and societlesJ and concerts, and
by moving pictures at the evening
services, but by the presence Of the
Spirit of God INF the church, In both
nastor and people.

I>AEs IN DOUBT ASK A SCOUT.

Last April a letter from the state
department Of conservation and de-
velopment asking for data as to the
number and species of trees In the
city Of Long Branch, n. j., is said to
have caused considerable consterna-
ton among the local authorities. Evi-
IDENTIFY tree census was wanted at
once, but who could or would do the
job? The authorities didn't know but
somebody else did. Hearing Of the
quandary of the city fathers, Scout
Executive Ovenham came forward
with the suggestion that the scouts Of
his district could and would under
take the census, II desired. They did,
with excellent results to all con-
cerned.

LADY SEEKING BEAUTY.

T ADY seeking beauty, who

Where is beauty? Near to you
Waiting quietly
If you will but see.
Nature Is articulate;
Can't you hear her call?
You need only initiate
Beauty by your wall,
Nature, that is all.
Here Is beauty: "Tis rose,
'Tis a rose of red;
Yet she does not all disclose
Beauty, be 1t said,
Shown too much Is fled.
Only dignity may dare
Crimson h2rmonles,
Only women wise may wear
Colors such as these,
Lady, If you please.
Here Is beauty: Quietness,
Modesty, repose;
Beauty Is not fair unless
Dignity It knows

~ Chaucer spelled 1t. was
the name given by the Hamp-

who acted as sponsors in bap-

mothers. 1t was a compound
word, made up of the name
Cod and the word "sib," still
used In Scotland In the sense OF
"akin'-the meaning being that
the gossip was akin TO God and

child, sense which Is still ex-

bear little relation to the word

should be remembered that the
"gossibs" were brought by
common sponsorship into a
close familiarity with one an
other, which led eventually to
trivial, Idle talk and the carry.

not peculiar to Anglo.Saxon

LEGION MEN VISIT FRANCE
American Party on Tour Of Former
Battle Sectors; at Fllrey Monu.
ment Dedication.

The new "A. E. f." Is In France
on mission much unlike that of the
A. L. +. OF l9l7-19lS. The new forces
are oily 250 strong. They comprise
members Of the American Legion who
are touring the former battle sectors
this summer as guests OF the French
government.
Every state and every branch Of
service Is represented In the peaceful
new A. L. +. They sailed from New
York on the George Washington.
There was noisy 'bon voyage" at the
docks as the former presidential snip
started on Its course. Flags Of the
United States and the American Le-
gion flew from the mast.
Commanding or rather heading the
pilgrimage was John G. Emery, the
Leglons national commander. For
ner commanders Franklin DOlier and
Henry d. Lindsey were present.
Arriving at LeElavre, the citizen ex-
pedltlon was received with great eciat,
after which II proceeded to Paris un"
der tow of French officials. From
Paris the party set out by special train
for Blols 10 attend the dedication OF
the Joan of Arc statue presented 10
the French city by the Joan Of Arc
Committee of New York.
While at Blols, the veterans invadN

classification board, known better %

Here the Americans staged q burlesque
OF a benzlne hearing during which a
score Of the pilgrims were "blooyed
as they used to say In the days OF the
fighting A. L. F.
Every city visited by the former de-
tenders has received Them with arms
wide-open. That France has not for
gotten Is everywhere evidenced by the
cordlality of the receptions. AT Boz
deaux, the Legionnalres received the
freedom of the city" from the high
officials. From there they went 10
Tarbes to visit the birthplace OF Gen
eral Foch. They placed memorial
tablet upon the house that first shell
tered the famous generalsslmo.
The former fighters were impressed
by the rap:dty with which many or
the ruined towns have been rebuilt.
Some Leglonnalres have gone over the
exact location whore they fought the
battle Of liberty and where many OF
their buddles fell in action.
Probably the most impressive GER
emony participated in by the Ameri-
cans was the dedication OF the Fllrey
monument. This memorial is tribute
TO the yalor of the doughboys who
delivered the little town Of German
occupation. Fllrey Is familiar ground
to many American soldiers. II Is on
the ridge which was the main line
Of resistance Of the old Toul sector.
1t was at Fllrey that the Eighty
ninth, from Kansas and Missouri, went
into conflict. Seventeen American
divisions fought in the vicinity Of the
little town, which itself was occupied
by regimental headquarters Of troops
holding the line.
At the close Of their tour the Legion
men will 90 to Paris where they will
have three days A. W. o. L. after
which they will sail on their return
voyage. The party is expected to re-
turn about September 10.

MOTHERS MAKE MEN.

CAMUEL MATTHEWS VAUGHAN,
y head OF the Baldwin Locomotive
Works in Philadelphia, has had wide
experience In the selection as well as
the handling of men.
He admits that he has a method,
secret, in making his selections.
HE FINDS OUT WHAT KIND OF
A MOTHER A BOY HAS. and pays
no attention to the father. In the
course of long business life he has
made few exceptions to this rule.
This theory of Mr.. Vauclain has a
negative as well as positive side.
1t explains not only why SO many
undlstinguIshed fathers have dlstin-
gulshed sons, but also why so many
fathers who are failures have sons
who are successful.
There are two sides to the question.
For one thing there Is tendency on
the part of u boy to derive his pre-
dominant traits from his mother.
For another, the mother is obvious
y more instrumental than the father
in creating the environment which
plays Il large part in the development
Of the sons.
In the average home the problem
Of providing minimum of income
which is the duty of the father-ls
much less complicated than the prob
lem of making both ends meet-whlch
is the problem of the mother.
Long before statesmen ever dreamed
Of a budget system, that method was
familiar TO the women. In one gen
GRAFTON after another they have had
TO pay their way with resources that
did not increase In proportion as the
families grew.
The carefulness, prudence and fore
sight that woman displays in run.
ming her house naturally show them
selves In the bringing up of her men
children. If she is incompetent and
shiftess In one direction. she will be
the same In the other.
The mother, as distinguished from
the father has played leading part
in the formative period OF men of con-
spicuous genius who have lifted them
selves "by their bootstraps' into places
of great eminence.
The mothers Of Abraham Lincoln
and Napoleon Bonaparte supply the
only available explanations Of the rise
to leadership of two men who are
types of success, under the most diff.
ilcult circumstances.
In each case powerful, dominant
character made possible the passage
from log cabin to the White House
and from Corsica to the leading place
in Europe and an imperial throne.
