BOYS DEMAND BETTER BOOKS
Youngsters Not Content These Days
With Anything Dreamed by
Old=School Writers.

A Chicago librarian has made the
discovery that boys are quitting the
so-ealled boy fiction for reading of
a different kind. They still read fic-
ton. TO be sure. but 1t is not their
chief reading nor is the fiction they
read that provided by the o~ldsehael
writer's of boys books, who had the
notion that the youthful masculine
mind required and demanded a spe-
clally prepared and specially fla-
yored food.
The boys of today. according 10
this finding, are calling for the BIZ
ographies of Lincoln. Roosevelt and
Edison. They are reading Christy
Mathewson's Book Of Sports" the
'Boys' Book of Mounted Police" the
Boys Book of Home Science and
Construction and books on camping
and woodcraft.
When they go in for fiction they
read Mark Twain, Scott. Dumas,
Stevenson, Jules Verne and kipling.
They do not read Henty and Oliver
Optic.
The only thing at all curious about
this Is that ii should ever have been
believed that boys had standardized
minds capable of taking anything but
spoon food. Boys want first of all
the genuine, and it would be strange
If they didn't learn where Il find it.
A be- who has heard of Rooseyelt's
life in the West is not likely to be
content thereafter with the pretend
ed adventures of the old m~ake-believe
heroes, whose authors turned out
their thrills in New York boarding
houses. A boy who has read Treas
ure Island and kidnapped will have
small use for Nick Carter.-Kansas

IMMENSE W OF MUSIC
There is Almost No Limit to its In
ffuence on the Human
Soul.

Music, The dictionary defines 1t
as The science of harmonious sounds !:
melody or harmony The tide of bat
tie has been turned by the science
of harmonious Sounds and to hear
some old familiar melody has often
resulted In soothing the troubled
heart.
Music can call the patriot to the
defense of his country; can enthuse
anew the w%orshiper at the shrine ;
can call the lover to his beloved !;
can fan into flame the dying embers
of the fire in the enthusiasts breast.
There Is no limit to the power of
music over the human soul.
The world needs mnslc-music of
the soul music of the heart music
of the voice; music of the spirit.
There are people who can't sing, yet
they can be moved TO tears or laughter
by the words of some simple melody.
Some people sing their way through
fife, and such people have a wonder
ful influence on the lives of others.
Music can have an almost magical
effect In producing the desired re-
suits. In fact. the imagination falls
to picture n world without music.

Train Insects to Ea. Insects.

An ingenious scheme for Kidding our
gardens of insect pests has been sug-
gested by II Richmond entomologisf.
His plan is To train harmless insects
to kill and eat injurious grubs n
flies. Experiments which have been
made met with considerable success.
1t Is well known that certain insects
are the enemies of other creatures
which are garden pests. They lay
their eggs in convenient spots, often
in the actual nesting places Of their
enemies. and when the young come
10 life they feed on the eggs. Scien-
fists are attempting To train these In
sects to feed upon harmful creatures
which at present they do not regard
as enemies.-Loudsn Tit-B!ts.

IN THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
Trader and Planter Not in Need Of
Pity. According to Writer in the
Asia Magazine.

Ii is customary to waste a lot or
pity on the trader and the planter in
remote places-lonely outposts of
civilization-but. from my observa-
ton. they do not need pity, declares
n writer In Asia Magazine. The man
who stays In the islands Is fitted for

and, II he does stay. he can retire af-
ter Is or 20 years. with a tidy for
tune.
Of course. the road TO fortune Is a
long and hard me-. The average
planter starts out with n little capital
say $500. He purchases a plot of
land. The price he pays depends upon
the locality in which he buys. In re-
gions where the natives are still fair
ly unsophisticated he may get his
land for almost nothing. Even where
the natives are most astute, he can buy
4 square mile for what he would pay
for an acre back home. Ills next
step is to get his land cleared. To
that end he buys n uhaleboat and
goes out to recruit natives 10 act as
laborers. lie needs five or six blacks.
They will build his house and clear
his land and plant his c%oconuts. Since
it takes seven years for the %coconuts
to mature. sweet potatoes and cotton
must be planted between the rows
of trees. The sweet potatoes, with Il
little rice, will furnish all the food
required by the blacks. The cotton,
If the planter Is diligent and lucky,
will pay current expenses until the
%coeonuts begin bearing.
Though his small capital of sou
may be eaten up early In the game,
the settler need not despair. The big

If he shows any signs of being made

credit for food and supplies, and they
will provide him with knives, calico

count with the companies. And after
the first trying seven years his troubles
are about oVer-if he can get b

Death Rate Already Too High.

The death rate for the first quarter
of 1922 among Metropolitan Life pol
icyholders was higher among white
policyholders by SO per cent Ind
among colored pollcyholders by $40
per CEN than for the same quarter of
1921. This was due very largely to
the effects of epidemic influenza.
There are. nevertheless, many favor

Fur Animals Increase in Kentucky.

Fur-bearing animals are on h In
crease In Kentucky as a result of the
protection afforded by the state game
law. The raecoon. epossum, mink,
weasel, otter and muskrat are re-
ported In larger numbers by trappers
who in the open season collect the
skins in paying quantities. Until
adequate protection was afforded by
the drastic game law some of the
species had almost disappeared from
Kentucky, but under the new order
the stock seems to have been appreei-
ably ~replenished all over the state.

DRY LEAN|NGS
 MAY LOSE LADY
 ASTOR ELECTION
Pro-Booze Members Opposed to Giving Ex-Daughter of
 Virginia Nomination

1 PLYMOUTH, Eng, Aug. 19.-Booze Is going to be one of the big factors | in the fight Lady Nancy Astor faces the greatest fight of her political life This daughter of Virginia, the first woman to sit in the British Parlia- ment. has returned from her trium- phal tour of America to find various | forces trying to dislodge her from the House of Commons, where she rep resents Plymouth constituency. There will be a parliamentary cleo tion next year, or sooner if the pre- ] mier decrees it. And Lady Astor, sit ting as a Conservative, finds various ervatives-mainly pro-booze - opposed to giving her the nomination because of her pronounced dry lean- ings.
 Talking with people here, I found women voters strong for Lady Astor. Said one:
 advocacy of measures designed to pro tect women and children. We like her her breezy democracy and her old fashioned Christianity"
 "she's U. S. Importation"
 A politician put it this way:
 She's an American importation and she's trying to force American prohibition on us"
 Said shopkeeper:
 Lady Astor has been an industri- ous member. of Parliament but she is too much the friend of Lloyd George. We want somebody who will break from him if he doesn't stand for what the Conservative majority wants"
 Said a saloonkeeper:
 "Too much pussyfoot-that's Lady Astor Our people don't want anyone to interfere with their long-establish- ed habits They want their beer"
 An ex-soldier said:
 "Oh, suppose Lady Astor is all right for the eX-soldiers of the town, but she doesn't do anything for us fellows who come to Plymouth from other towns
 Her Position Strong
 In spite of opposition, Lady Astor is popular and has strength. The great welcome home meeting Ply mouth people held for her at Guild hall on the Fourth of July proved it.
 I saw that meeting and it was a
 
 an who, with her American-descended husband-a viscount of the realm supports every charitable, patriotic and uplift enterprise in Plymouth.
 She is going to have a stiff fight, but most observers believe she has more than an even chance to win re- election.
 Pro-booze Conservatives are already trying to induce a prominent London physician to enter the lists against her.
 There are two possibilities: either Lady Astor may win the regular Con- servative nomination again, and the disgruntled ones may put up an inde- pendent Conservative candidates; or she may lose the nomination and her self run as an independent.
 The Liberal party will probably name no candidate but the Labor par ty, which is rather strong, is sure to do so.

AIR PULLMANS FROM DETROIT
 TOCLEVELAND
Service Through Clouds Will Be Extended as Soon as

By DUDLEY sIDDAL

CLEVELAND. O., Aug. 19. For years they've been telling us about the future of aviation" Now it's here
 You can fly 11O miles by hydro aeroplane between Detroit and Cleve- land. Two planes each way daily. ex- cept Sunday. at a. m. and 3 D. m. five-hour train ride, or an all-night boat ride, cut to 90 minutes,
 This is the first airway of it's kind in the world. Never before, anywhere, has an unsubsidized. non-stock job ping, amply financed concern operated planes on regular twice-daily sched- ule between important cities. The planes go by the clock. loaded or empty. No government departments. no quasi-public organizations, no pub- lie spirited citizens are asked to help pay the bills. It's a private enterprise, for private gain or rather, private loss, so far.
 To date it is estimated that l. M Uppercu, of New York, sole owner of Aeromarine Airways, Inc, has lost S500,000 in his efforts to develop air passenger travel in the United States. Yet, by opening the Detroit & Cleve- land line, he demonstrates his firm belief that he can educate the Amer ican public to use hydro-aeroplanes as fearlessly as it uses trains and boats.
 Must Beat Fear
 Fear! That's the thing Aeromarine Airways has to beat before it can make air travel a commercial success.
