FOUND SILENCE ONLY REFUGE
Under the Circumstances, 1t Would Seem, Mrs. PauIa's Friend Had
 Made Wise Decision.

Now, everybody in town knows that Mrs. Paula Platt was talking of mak- ing a visit to her married daughter in Ohio. She had been talking about it for two years, but age and the nat ural timidity of woman long a widow had postponed the great event from month to month, until the neighbors began to wonder whether 1t would ever come to pass.
 So one morning when Uncle Tom Filters met friend of Mrs. Paula's, there was twinkle in his eyes as he asked:
 ''When is Mrs. Paula goin' out to Ohio?"
 Don't ask me-" said the other. q don't know nothin' about it. If tell her to go, she says we all want to get rid of her; and if I tell her to stay at home, she says am mean. ain't sayin' word !'-Philadelphia Ledger.

Harvey Maitland Watts, a Philadel- phia art critic, said at dinner in Rit- tenhouse square:
 'The ignorance of the new rich in art matters is quite incredible. The wife of a new rich profiteer was buy ing pictures in a Walnut street shop the other day. After she had bought a number of costly pictures she said 1:
 "'Now show me something a little cheaper for the back hall. It's dark there.
 'The salesman brought out another picture.
 ""This, madam he said, is only a chromo, and we could let you have 1t for nearly nOthing.'
 'The new rich lady nodded in a sage way.

Painters certainly are touchy, when ignorant people dare to comment upon art. A woman of no importance as an art critic was studying the work of a well-known artist and remarked:

BOY
SCOUTS
M
PINcHoT BOOSTS SCOUTING

Clifford PinehOt, commissioner of for
highly enthusiastic about the scout
program and believes that through
scouts much can be accomplished in
interesting the public in conservation
measures. In his fOreword to the
booklet entitled "The Boy Scouts
First Book Of Forestry" written by Jo-
seph S. nlick and published under the
auspices of the Pennsylvania depart
ment Of forestry, he makes the follow
ing interesting statement:
Scouting is worth while. II makes
real boys and then turns them into
real men. A good scout makes good
American. A good American makes
a good citizen, and good American citi-
zens make the first nation In the
world.
Scouting is good fun, but it is
lot more than that, It is the best
kind Of preparation for whatever life
is to bring in the days ahead A
good scout is seldom or never caught
unprepared, and man who has grown
up out of a boy scout is always ready
to meet the present and the future
with head up, eyes front, and Shout
ders back.
''There is a lot more in the United
States than can be seen from a street
car. 1t is the land. and the boys and
men, girls and women who know the
land, who make the strength of this
and any other country. Not the least
valuable thing about scouting is that
1t teaches the city boy to know the
country, and the country boy to know
the country better than he. otherwise
would.
'@fhe forest is not only the mother
Of the fountain, but the mother of men
as well. Our ancestors lived in the
forest We live upon It. Wood is
still the most useful of all materials,
and will continue to be for many
years after you and have passed to
our reward.
Scouts render services Of great
value to their nation and state by un-
Outstanding the forest and taking part
in its protection. 1t is just as impor-
tant for people TO think about prevent
ing forest fires as it is for them to
think rightly about preventing fires in
a town, or any other similar calamity.
When you help to make people respect
and appreciate the forest you help In
its protection.
"An understanding of the forest and
Of the conservation Of all natural re-
sources is growing rapidly among
scouts. In two years the number Of
badges awarded to boy scouts in for
estry grew from 1913 in 1917 to 513 in
1919. would like to see still more
awarded in Pennsylvania.
Every scout who gets this book
viii, hope, not only study its pages,
but take it with him into the forest,
compare what is here printed with
what he finds outdoors, and so get to
know the forest, which is the home Of
scouting, and a great necessity for the
welfare of the human race"
