Those Of you who have any doubt
about the reality and value OF the les.
sons taught by scoutcraft should have
been by my side, an interested observer
around the Chautauqua tent last week.
All week long those faithful boy scouts
helped the Y. w. c. A. girls sell soda
pop and ice cream. They carried heavy
freezers, they packed them with ice and
likewise the soda pop. They assisted in
punching tickets and after each per.
formance they gathered up the empty
bottles and put them in cases
Three churches had contributed
chairs. After the chautauqua closed the
boy scouts sorted out the chairs and
placed them in three neat orderly piles
and this was no small task. They Were
on the job from first to last and never
shirked. They received no pay, they
asked no thanks or credit. They worked
quietly efficiently anG with the JOY
OF giving service in their hearts. They
were siill at work nights when most OF
the grown folks had gone to bed. These
boy scouts are men, real menl They
don't have TO wait TO grow up. They
have the qualities that spell much for
the future of Ardmore. and their di.
rector, Clinton B. Harris, may well be
proud Of the work he has accomplished
among the boys he loves so well.
Many boy scouts We're out OF town
last week but the ones who were here
did not use that as an excuse for idle.
ness.
Boys, you are being watched and the
people OF Ardmore rejoice to see you
living clean. healthful, useful lives.
The many Ardmore contributors in
the boy scout movement are glad to
hereby express their appreciation or
the splendid work you are doing.
Three cheers for our scouts. Long
may they live and flourish In Ardmore.

of Uncle Sans investigation OF
dust explosions, says that dust in
general is high explosive.
Combustbls dust is an unavoid-

Terrific explosions lurk in the
dust of coal, cork, aluminium, cot

The thing that appeals to the
scientific side of your mind is the
enormous power that must be lock
ed up in everything.
Some day the stupendous power
locked up in tiny atoms will be re-
leased and utilized by man.

The fact that flour or the dust

For all we know, gasoline. coal

Hunger

The old theory that almost everyone
eats too much and would be better off
with half the amount" is plain bunk
says Or. Percy G. Stiles. talking to
Harvard Medical School.
Stiles says that II you're fat you eat
too much and If you're lean you do not
eat enough. but that you should always
satisfy your appetite.
Very little danger of over.eating when
food is chewed thoroughly
Nature tells US, by hunger. when we
need food Most abuse Of the stomach
Is due TO eating just because the clock
strikes a certain hour. instead OF only
when hungry.

YOUR BODY

The materials, out OF which your
body is built, would bring about
% cents ii they could be separated
and sold in drug store.
This is figured out by DR.. Geor-
CINE Luden, in the current Journal
OF the American Medical Associa-
tion.
The human body. according to
DR.. Luden. contains iron enough to
make an average-size nail, fat en-
ough for seven bars OF soap, lime
enough to whitewash chicken
coop, sugar enough 10 ill shaker
and sulphur enough to rid dog
OF ileas.
In the brain is minute quantity
OF gold.
The blood that circulates through
your body would hall fill an ordi-
nary bucket, SAYS Luden.
This blood is kept moving by the
remarkable little pumping engine,
the heart, which normally beats
l03.6S0 times every p hours.
Mysterious organ, the heart.
When it stops, lie is ended.
What makes it beat or stop beat
ing; That Is the riddle OF lie.
A doctor can write out for you
list OF the chemicals or elements
that make up your body. He might
give you the exact quantities OF
each. You could 90 10 a drug
store and buy the list, mix the
stuff together and say There is

It all resolves itself down tc
