Ii it were not for the luXuries and
l.easures of life, men would not cOngre-
gate in cities, there would be no neceS
sity for foreign trade, and therefore
there would not be great competition
among nations to increase their foreign
ade Neither would there be ans
great desire for increased territory and
consequent increased wealth. This
means that there would not be much
cause of war among the nations. Let
any one walk on Fifth avenue, New
York. from Twenty-third street to
tifty-ninth street, where land is more
valuable than in almost any other place

Waek-endinQ is becoming the nom

Week-ending is becoming the popu-
lar American method of taking a va
cation. Many of the big stores in New
York city close every Saturday from
June until September, thus giving
their employees the advantage of hav-
ing their vacations in installments.
Nearby seaside and mountain resorts
have specialized in small camps where
three or four girls or men can spend
their week-ends, during the summer.
From Friday evening until Monday
morning primitive life is in fashion and
while the cooking in some of the camps
may not be good enough to suit the
critical. still the change makes for
better health and work during the
week.

WHAT SCOUTS FIND TO DO.

In StoughtOn, Wis. boy scouts re-
moved a large number of rocks and
other distractions from the Lake Ke-
gOnea camp ground so as to permit
better boating and bathing, to the
better satisfaction of the cottagers and
campers concerned.
A Brooklyn IN. y troop gave up a
much anticipated overnight hike and
spent their holiday instead painting
and repairing a fence which surround
ed church property.
Honolulu scouts have been support
ing a French orphan in Paris for four
years.
StratfOrd (Cal.) scouts, among other
activities found time to build tennis
court. plant trees and make other inn
provenents in their local park, helped
the American Legion conduct a city
cleanup, made a point Of picking up
the glass or nails they saw in the
streets on their way TO school and
troop meetings, collected 125 pounds
OF old clothing for the Near East re-
lief and .extinguished a formidable
fire.
Columbus (O.) scouts have performed
5000 hours of civic service that every
body knows about, not to mention the
probable other 5000 small, individual
"good turns" which aren't done in the
public eye, but which stand for good
scouting none the less.

We are not afraid of bold proposals
in imperial policy. where those pro-
posals do not conflict with what we
conceive to be natural development of
imperial institutions. The whole ques-
ton turns upon what are the natural
developments of imperial institutions,
says the Singapore Free Press. We
had thought that the Conference of
Imperial Premiers had convinced them
selves that proposals for a set form
of union are futile. When the time is
ripe the demand for union between the
crown colonies will determine the most
advantageous way of carrying out that
union, and any attempt to force fed
Grafton" against the wishes of any of
the parties concerned, is surely con-
trary to the spirit which has led to
the present development of the empire.

At the international meeting Of the
American Chemical society recently
held in New York, startling predictions
were made of new achievements to be
made in the domains of physics and
chemistry. The discoveries will be so
important, it was declared, that they
will open up a new era, in which the
light and heat of the sun, the tides, the
rotation of the earth and even atomic
energy will be transmitted to an extent
updreamed of hitherto. More spe-
officially, results predicted include the
use of the solar rays, now waste
of energy, in the production of power !;
the discovery of cold light, with at
tendant great economy; more efficient
methods employed in chemistry, where
by refractory substances will be made
to yield useful products. Formerly
such prophesies would have created a
sensation. They DO not now. 1t is
an age of discovery and invention.

Massachusetts Retaliates On Maine
Every Commercial Motor Vehicle
Entering Maine Must Pay Tax.

BOSTON, May 10-The registrar of
motor vehicles yesterday issued a warn
ing to all owners of Massachusetts,
trucks who contemplate driving into
Maine that they will be- arrested for
failure to have Maine registration plates
on their cars the moment they cross the
line.
Recently the Maine legislature en-
acted a law making it necessary for
every commercial motor vehicle entering
the state of Maine to be registered. As
a consequence. state officers on the
Maine side of the bridge at Kittery are
gathering in all out-of-state cars. This
unusual treatment dealt out to Massa-
chusetts operators resulted in a request
being sent by the registrar to the towns
along our northern border to treat in the
same manner any Maine truck entering
Massachusetts without a Massachusetts,
registration. Hence many Maine truck
are now being held up in Newburyport
and Ipswich.

under whose supervision the new state

be completed and in use within a few
DAVIS. Prisoners will move from cell

The plan provides that prisoners may
pass through the following stages; con-

SAHARA. Russia. May 10 (Associ-
ated Press. There is ample fve stock
in Samara province to work the fields
and harvest the crop of 1922 despite the
fact that it suffered most severely from
the famine. The rugged. shaggy. little
horses. great. grooming camels and slow
moving oxen of the famine regions have
withstood the winters hunger as well or
even better thar the sturdy peasants.
In isolated spots totally lacking in
food the livestock as well as the people
has suffered tremendous mortality.
Thousands of draft animals have fallen
dead in the road while hauling precious
food over the SHOWS to the village.
Others have been slaughtered for food
but by far the great proportion have
gone through the winter and now, with
green pasture near, are in fair shape for
work.
NJ. Ryazonoff. commissar for a%gricul-

those available in 1921.
