"Yes," said Mother Grizzly, I'VE are

"And we all see, that the daddies

Mother Black Bear "for Daddy Bears

little cubs, and mother bears would
never allow that"

you are free, and while still you keep
them in the dens.
Mother Syrian Bear is very bad
about her children but the keeper
helps her make new beds of straw
and she is grateful for the way he re-
minds her of what she must do.
"But my babies are well looked after

What Did Mother Say7

IN the parlor of the Tabernacle
Christian church at Columbus there
hangs a picture of the Rev. w. H.
Book, pastor of the church. The pic

long, curly hair. Recently Henrietta
Boyle, four-year-old daughter of Mr.

was in the room with her mother, the
minister and a group of church mem

and regarded 1t intently. Her face
became more and more serious as she
looked. Finally, she spoke in an awe

STAR SCOUT WINS BADGE.

Among the various Merit badges
which are open to first-clas scouts is
one which boys rarely apply for
though it is an interesting one. This
unusual badge in blacksmithing has
inst been won by Robert Reed, a star
scout of troop No II, Oak Park, Ill.
Most of the required preliminary work
was done in connection with his man
nal training work in high school. The
requirements for the Merit badge in
blacksmithing are as follows:
/. Make an open link of 7s-inch
stock.
@ Forge a chain hook out of u by
lb-inch soft steel, or A-inch round
iron.
3. Make a bolt of 1a-inch stock.
4. Bend and weld three links and
form them into a chain, these links to
be fastened to the hook of requirement
No. 2 by ring, and links and ring
to be made out of 3s-inch round iron
5. Make a straight lap weld of II
by 1-inch stock.
8. Make a cold chisel out of 5s-inch

FREIGHT HANDLING IN EUROPE
Countries Succeed in AvoIdino Soma
OF Our Problems With Canals
and Small Cars.

Ihls discussion of what Europe can
teach us would not be complete with.
out reference to their large canal
boats and small freight cars. observes
w. Z. Gregg in an article in the Ont.
look.
Their canals were developed cen.
turtles ago, long before railway prob
iems were known. They form a net
work all over Europe. and with the
standard canal boat between two and
three hundred feet long, they move
Immense quantities of material at low
costs, especially fuel and building ma.
terial. They are generally pulled by
horses, but occasionally men and
women hitch themselves TO what
seems an impossible load and move il
for miles.
1here Is no question about the
cheapness of such transportation. es-
peclally when the canals are already
built and no burden of modern bond
ed debt is the penalty of their use.
The small freight car may also give
nuiope an advantage over us.
There are generally two sides to
questions. The large United States
standard freight cars require a mini
mum of say, thirty tons. If an Amer
lean shipper has that much material
the car is loaded and goes a thousand
miles or more with no rehandling Of
the load. But what about the shin
ment of ten tons? In Europe that
represents their carload minimum.
and they send 1t anywhere without
reminding and at the carload rate.
but the shipper in the United States
who wants to forward ten tons must
do it as local freight, at local rates.
1t must be rehandled at junction
points and at terminals, causing great
delay and great labor cost.
| am not advising any change here.
| am merely showing where Europe
has cheaper costs, and why. We may
learn many lessons, including larger
use of handcarts and wheelbarrows.
