SOU S
Conducted by Rational Council OF the BOY
Scout Of America.)
FOR LACK OF A BOY SCOUT

The papers recently gave consider
able publicity TO the fact that a GER
tain physician lost himself in the
woods while ON a hunting expedition
and was found two weeks LATER nearly
starved with raw partridge in his
hand, because he had no matches to
start fire. 1t Is interesting to notice
how frequently in commenting upon
this incident the newspapers have
pointed out that "the doctor should
have had q boy scout along, to show
him how to make fire by friction and
find his direc tion by sun and stars"
"By reason Of the scout movement,
the next generation will be better pre-
pared for such emergencies" observes
the Salt Lake City News. "To say the
man suffered for lack Of match Is to
misstate his case. He suffered almost
to death for lack of fire, and he lacked
fire because We have come to depend
so much on matches. What he needed,
In the absence of matches, was a
knowledge of some earlier way of max
ing fire." Some knowledge Of the arts
of primitive man are desirable for all
who would seek the primitive wilds.
This Is one Of the great ideas of the
boy scout organization. The finished
scout, left In the woods, could make
fire by rubbing sticks, could make q
wigwam or a hut, and could estimate
the general direction by his watch with
the aid of the sun. The boy scout or
ganizers did not discover these things
but they discovered that they could
still be used In an age Of great aru'
fetal progress"

z. of his weight. He wasn't chosen
chaplain Of the Legion for that rea-
son, however, his followers declare. 1t
was because "he Is at all times q
mans man and represents the liberal
spirit of the organization"
Returning from France, Reverend
Blackman resumed his pulpit In
Chanute, Kan. One of his first acts
was to attend a public dance. He
didn't dance, but thoroughly enjoyed
the fun. A protest came from his con-
gregation and he resigned. His resig-
nation wasn't accepted.
Then he began doing other things.
He rigged up a gymnasium IN the
basement Of his church and gave box
ing lessons to the boys Of the Sunday
school. The church liked 1t.
Reverend Blackman refused offers
from larger churches to stay with his
pastorate in Chanute. His view OF
Sunday "blue laws" is characteristic
ITO my mind the advocacy of such
laws only serves to cheaper religion In
the minds Of the masses and tends TO
push it back into the superstitions OF
the past. What is rest and relaxation
to the farmer may not be such to the
bank clerk"

So much we throw away.
1 wish you only smiles through tears
And glad days in the saddest years.

~AVLNG time is wasted effort un-

Most people are in hurry. They

They rush to their homes at night.
When they get TO the office, they

And time spent sitting around is al.

You are given about eight hours to

TO work.
Unless you have an unusually easy
Job. you can save little out Of the
eight hours working time.
You can save from one 10 five hours
out of the eight. at least once or twice
a week, if you are careful.
But unless you use that time, and
use it wisely, there will be no sense
in saving it,
Most successful men are very care

called idle eight hours.
They use this either to add to the
efforts they PUT forth on their regular
business, or TO take up something
related to their business which is
inconvenient to do during working
hours.
In other words they use their time
as intellgently as they do their
money. They make it earn dividends.
And time set to work In that fashion
is always good investment.

Those three weeks are worth money.
