BOY SCOUTS ONE BIG NIGHT

The evening of February is the
date that every boy scout in the land
remembers. 1t is the red-letter date
in his calendar. For it was on Feb
ruary that the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica was Incorporated, and it is an es-
tablished custom for all scouts to cele-
brate the event annually.
The custom has assumed the form
of huge birthday party for the whole
organization, starting with or at least
including February s, and continuing
through Lincoln's birthday, February
u. This is the eleventh birthday year
OF the scouts. The idea back Of the
celebration is to bring more definitely
to the attention of each community the
value OF scouting as program for
work with boys for the development
of character and training for citizen
ship.
At the hOsr of S:15 on February s
every registered boy scout, no matter
where he may be, is supposed to stand
at salute and commit himself anew
to the scout oath and law. In most
cases the scouts gather for this cere-
mony in their troop meeting places.
The emphasis of this celebration is
such as will impress the solidarity of
the movement upon the entire men,
bership, as well as foster the feeling
Of the individual responsibility of each
scout to the organization as whole.
Heretofore the scouts have stood
ct salute when their watches an
nounced 8:15, which, on account of the
difference in time between East and
West did not make the act simultane-
Gus. This year the effort was made
to have the salute at exactly the same
moment everywhere, corresponding TO
S:15 eastern time, the time of the
clock in the national headquarters.

BARIJM POISONOUS TO RATS
Tests Indicate That a 20 Per Cent
Mixture With Food Makes Most
Satisfactory Bait.

A study of barium carbonate as n
rat poison, made by the United States
Department of Agriculture. indicates
that 20 per cent mixture with food
makes satisfactory bait. With this
percentage rat ordinarily needs to
eat only one-third or three -eighths of
meal of average size to get fatal
dose. 1t was found that with this dose
many of the rats poisoned died with.
In "a hours, though an occasional rat
was found which survived an even
larger amount, thus indicating that
100 per cent mortality is not to be e1-
pected in any case.
A summary of results Of expert
ments conducted by various persons
with view to determining the dead
illness of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy of the assumption
that barium is poisonous only to rats.
1t Is pointed out that the fatal dose
of barium per pound tends to decrease
relatively as the size of the animal
increases. and that bait calculated
to be fatal to rats. may be assumed to
be more or less dangerous to small
domestic animals also

FORMER SCOUTS IN COLLEGE

An interesting development in scout
Ing relationship with the universities
has been seen in the work of the Ithaca
IN. W council, Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, In connection with Cornell uni
versity. A meeting of the students at
tending Cornell university who have
been scouts was held. The local coun-
CT! brought before these students
their desire to be of assistance to
them and serve them in every way
possible while they are at college. and
to bring before them their opportu-
nifty to help scouting nationally. Sew
eral of the young men who have been
scouts are helping with the local work.
One of them who came to the meeting
was Chouson-King, who has been an
assistant scoutmaster in Shanghai,
China.
At Syracuse university u similar
movement is on foot in the way of get
ting together students who have been
scouts.
Recently at Oxford university in
England, National Educational Direct
or LOrne w. Barclay investigated the
University Scout club there and found
1t a very helpful activity. This sug-
gestion may be of real service in col.
lege towns. not only to the students
but to the boys of that community.

THE WOODS
BY DOUGLAS MAuOcH
DOWN GRADE.

YES boy ! know-you do not
L think;
You only hear the glasses clink
And feel the bogus joy of drink.
Life looks all summer through glass
The whisky road Is green with grass
But life and summer both will pass.
It's easy now to drink or not
To drink little or lot;
But after all your drinking, whati
May 1t not happen ere the grave
Inc thing you laugh at you Will
crave?-
The master will become the slave7
God l have seen them Boys like you,
The frolickers of fighting crew.
Who never thought and never knew.
Who took the road that dips and
CLEANS,
That runs ahead Of singing streams
get somehow never downward
seems).
With this same foolish passion played
The same old merry journey made,
Who took the road of easy grade
TIL night came on, till sank the sun,
TIL shadows gathered one by one
Around the path, and day was done.
Twas then they turned; but now the
hill
Was high behind them, and the rill
Within the valley dark and still
Around. the level of the plain;
Above. rocky path of pain
To climb If they would rise again.
l am no preacher called to preach;
] am no teacher fit to teach
You younger men of better speech.
Yet have walked the merry road
Where laughing rivers downward
flowed,
And climbed again with all the load.
With all the load a man acquires
Who follows after his desires
Until he finds his lusts are liars,
Until he finds. as find he will,
The peace, the JOY his age to fiji
He left behind him on the hill.
My preaching is not perfect, Jack:
Yet truth, at least. 1t does not ,ack-
For ! have been there boy, and back.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"CAB ARET."

% ROUGHT into prominence
~ of late years because of the
large number of hotels and res
taurants which have advertised
dancing cabarets" or jazz
cabarets" or have used The tenn
as indicative of "A place where
one can secure food and amuSe-
ment Mt the same time, cab
aret" has come to be regarded
as new addition to the Eng
lish language-a word which.
from its form and pronuncia-
ton, Is evidently French.
As a matter of fact the term
was. originally Of Gallo origin,
but II Is by no means modern,
having been widely used in Eng
land during the Sixteenth CEN
fury as synonym for tavern"
There was nothing musical
about the cabarets ofs,his period
ana the only amusement they
afforded was that which the
travellers furnished. While the
word was used by Bramhall in
one of his works published in
1856, II passed out ct the Ian
guage soon after that and did
not return again until about the
middle of the Eighteenth cen
fury. At this time. however, its
stay was short and its popular
ity limited. Not until the dane
ing craze struck the world n few
years ago was II resurrected In
its present sense.
1t has changed its reaning so
much Of late that, If n hotel adj
vertised a cabaret" and did net
provide at least an orchestra, It
would be accused of fraud
while as matter of several
centuries of custom 1t would be
entirely within its rights.

AFTERNOON HEADACHE

SOMEWHERE between three and
~ fourthirty many a girl develops a
headache at her work, and takes that
headache home with her. There are
several reasons why this afternoon
headache comes on, and IL you are
troubled with it. you want to ask your
self few questions and look closely
into your daily routine.
Perhaps you have way Of getting
up too late TO give yourself the nee
essary time for your bath and dress
Ing and breakfast. You should have
good breakfast, with cereal and an
egg. for you have much work between
breakfast and lunch, and dinner was
long while ago. And you ought to
eat slowly.
Or perhaps you don't eat the right
sort of Lunch. An eclair and q cup
of coffee or chocolate won't do. You
are bound to develop a fine headache
on that sort of diet. You don't need
heavy lunch, but 1t must be nour-
ishing. A bowl Of toast and milk and
baked apple with cream will give
you the sort Of food you can work
on.
II your food is all right, possibly
you are working in badly ventilated
office. This Is almost sure to bring on
headache and lassitude. If you can
not have the window open enough to
insure good air You can probably man.
age to get out by an open window two
or three times during the day. and
there take half dozen or more deep,
full breaths.
Sometimes the pain Is caused by eye
trouble, and then Of course you must
ask the advice of an oculist.
Sometimes it comes from rushing
too much at the beginning of the day.
Don't try to do all the work there Is
In the first portion Of the morning
You can't use up all your steam at the
first take-off and hope to keep it, too
Often a brisk walk of half an hour

LastNiight's Dreams
What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF YOUR RELA
TONS?

NOSTRADAMUS, Albertus Magnus.
~ Mother Shipton and wise gypsies
seem to agree that ii is a good omen
to meet ones uncle In dream and
portends happy marriage or good
substantial legacy, or BOTH But meet
Ing your aunt In Dreamland is not so
propitious, for 1t signifies that you will
shortly be called down for something
of which you are not guilty. In meet.
ing relatives in dreams the signs seem
to be considered to hold whether
those seen be alive or dead. II YOU
dream of seeing the dead alive II Is
an especially good omen. To dream
Of ones mother after not having seen
her for long time. indicates that YOU
will make friends again with some of
your relatives with whom you have
had falling out. There is a common
impression that, ones mother being
dead, 1t pOrtends some misfortune to
see her In a dream. Not SO say the
authorities; 1t Is a propitious omen.
and to dream Of speaking with her
indicates that you will soon receive
some good news. But II one hears his
mother calling out to him In a dream
1t is an indication that he should mend
his ways and pay stricter attention to
his business; perhaps engage in some
new venture. II one dreams that he
is making his home with his mother II
indicates security In fortune. To sum
up, to see relatives, alive or dead, In
fairly good health in your dream is q
most favorable representation.

CUSTOMERS SECURED
FOR POULTRY SHOWS
Persons at Summer Resorts Buy
Produce in Winter.
City People Have Inspected Producers
Farm and Know Under What Con-
ditions Foodstuffs Are Raised
One Case Cited.

Many producers living near summer
resorts supply produce in the summer
months to the persons at the resorts.
and during the other months of the
year ship produce to these persons
while they are in the city. This, say
marketing specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, is
one of the best methods of obtaining
customers for direct marketing, as The
producer and consumer have some az
quaintance. In most instances the Gus
toners have been at the producers
farm and know under what conditions
the articles are produced.
One man who lives near a summer
resort In Indiana is about twelve miles
from the nearest town of any size. ne
does not desire to drive to this town 10
dispose of his farm produce and is not
satisfied with the prices that the huck-
sters pay. Consequently he built mp n
business of supplying products to re-
sorterS in the summer and of shipping
produce by parcel post and express TO
these persons at their city homes in
the winter.
The principal products shipped are
butter, eggs and dressed poultry. This
producer uses good shipping containers
and packs produce atiractively. AS he
Is acquainted with his customers, he
renders statements of accounts only
once a month. In this way the matter
of making payments is simplified for
the customers.
This producer has had no trouble in
establishing his business nor in retain
Ing customers lie states that his only
trouble has been in getting enough
high-grade produce to supply all Of his
customers.
