BLINDNESS NO HANDICAP.

Every now and then we hear of the
remarkable achievements in Scouting
of blind boys. In Overlook, a suburb
of Philadelphia they have a whole
troop of blind youngsters who astoni5h
everybody who watches them by their
prowess. They do practically every
thing other scouts do and i'm some
things even excel their comrades with
two good eyes. They have an almost
uncanny sense of direction and highly
developed touch perception.

SALVATION ARMY STORES

The Salvation Army stores which
have been institutions in Chicago for
more than fifteen years, have solved
the problem on the high price of be-
ing well dressed for thousands of fam
lilies. An entire outft-hat, clothes,
shoes, collar, ties and everything for
1918. That's the price of doffing the
garments of tramp and taking on
the raiment of a gentleman.
But the army is not making a spe-
cialty of the tramp. There is many
a family man and his wife and his
children who patronize the Industrial
clothing store. You can get a good
coat for 80 cents, pair of trousers
for 25 cents, a vest for ten cents, a
hat for as low as dime, socks for
cents a pair, necktie for dime, and
real slick, clean, highly starched
white collar thrown in to make the
outfit complete.

sSl-.c- OF GRAMMAR

After tracing very briefly the fall Of
.s.,.s..IIar in Canada, particularly in
,s..j.riO. Professor Jones of Ontario
u.iege admitted that in the past the
Coaching of grammar had been too
iurEiat, that too much time had been
spent on useless distinctions, and that
tie subject had been cursed with
beT.ldering terminology; but he con-
tended that a reasonable presentation
II grammar was a highly useful and
quite essential subject in both ele-
menTary and secondary education. The
task of simplifying the presentation of
grammar mas been made much easier
by the recommendation of the Amer
lean and English committees on uni
form nomenclature. = The pupil should
now learn a Technology that is not
only accepted in all parts of the coun-
try in connection with English gram
mar, but is equally useful for his
study of foreign languages. The main
argument on behalf of grammar in its
modern, simplified form is that it is
thoroughly useful, both in developing
correct speech and in written COM
position. The various studies made of
the errors of school children prove
that, while the kinds of error are not
very numerous, the grammatical
knowledge necessary for the correc-
ton of such errors is just what the
defenders of a reasonable course in
grammar have been advocating.

Sir James Camille has discovered
another indication that there is moth
ing new under the sun, and that all
things were invented in China Swedish
exercises, he declares, are not Swedish
at all, but Chinese exercises of 5000
years ago. 1t was not enough, ap-
parently, that Roger Bacon should be
deprived of the honor of inventing gun
powder, and a working German watch
maker of the honor of inventing the
telescope; the Chinese having had
them ages ago. One had thought that
Swedish exercises were safe! At any
rate, if the Chinese had these exer-
cises 5000 years ago they seem to have
passed them on to other nations which
had more use for them. Possibly the
same thing will be found to have hap
pened to jiujitsu, when it is discovered
that that also came from China and
not Japan.

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

was done in connection with his man.

CITY STRONG FOR SCOUTING.

A scoutmaster of Mt. Pleasant.
Utah, reports that nine per cent of the
population of the city are in scouting
and that the whole town is behind the
scout movement heart and soul, be-
cause they see the wonderful results
1t is having among the boys who are
in 1t. The scouts themselves are very
much alive and keen on the outdoor
part of the thing One of the interest

The comforts of 1921 are the luxuries
of 1870 What household of that time
could obtain the devices which are
the common Indispensable equipment of
our day? Our young men and maidens
who demand a standard of living which
the youth of 1870 had never thought of
may be distressing to old-fashioned
people, but they are obeying natural
forces. The Victorians themselves
were not content with what satisfied
the Eighteenth century. That all these
changes have made for happiness, we
may feel no compulsion to believe. But
there is nothing in the past TO justify
us in expecting that the young people
of the present will be content with
what satisfied us in our youth. They
may be going on the road to the true
golden age; they may have chosen the
nrimrose path which leads to the ever
sting bonfire. What is certain is that
they will not stand still.

member Of the American Legion Hospi-
talization committee. ''Of course there
are such men among those who apply
for relief. But you will find them
everywhere; in business, in colleges,
in politics and even in the churches
Doctor Salmon, in his plea for COM
plete and efficient care of the disabled
men, answers the assertion that there
are 5000 empty beds in the govern
ment hospitals. He explains that
beds alone cannot cure the disabled
and besides, he says, most of the 5000
empty beds are needed to constitute
the reserve that every hospital with
an active service needs.

Lights Puzzle Jackrabbits.

In travelling the roads threading the
Nevada desert one notices the well-de-
fined rabbit trails criss-crossing the
sand and leading off into the brush.
And when there is a moon, the jack
rabbits gambol merrily along the side
of the road. shadOwy and unreal in
the moonlight until they cross the
brilliant path cut by the automobile
lights. Then bunny gets confused,
stops. sits up, with ears elevated and
awaits until the car is within a few
feet OF him then off he romps into the
wayside brush, unable to comprehend
these artificial halls which fail to keep
the moon.-Christian Science Monitor.

OF interest to the entire country,

canopy for Plymouth Rock, says the

first time in it's history, this American
shrine has housing which BELTS it's
sentimental and historical Importance.
1t is probable, too, that there will be
made an end to the journeyings of the
rock, for we have come to realize the
Importance of it's preservation intact
and guarded from damage for the
benefit of future generations, as we
have with the Liberty bell. The
memorial, erected by the Colonial
Danes and presented to the state of
Massachusetts, makes this state, in eff
feet, trustee for the entire country. 1t
also appropriately makes the home of
Plymouth Rock it's guardian rather
than the entire country, which would
make It's care that matter of every
body's business which soon becomes

stutx stock at Auction.

Considerable mystery surrounded the
sale at auction yesterday Of 3,605 shares
of stock OF the Stutz Motor Company
Of America. The identity OF the seller
was concealed. but 1t is believed to have
been the stock which. according to the
schedule filed in the bankruptcy, of AL
Ian A. Ryan. was held as collateral for
a loan made to Ryan by A. A. Housman
G. Co. That house was the buyer of
1000 shares out of a block of 1905
shares which was sold. The total num-
ber or shares transferred over the auc-
ton block corresponded with the num-
ber listed in the Ryan schedule as that
held by the Housman firm. The re-
naming 1905 shares were bought by
Low Bros. The price paid by A. A.
Housman g. Co. was 23h. Low Bros.
paid 23 for 1000 shares and 23K for
the other COS shares.

There was concerted movement up
ward in the leading public utility issues
yesterday, particularly those in which
the fuel supply plays such an important
part. Buying Of the stocks was Of a
striking character most of the day and
could be traced in most cases to insiders.
This was true Of the buying Of Public
Service Corporation and Columbia Gas
and Electric. both Of which made new
highs. In the case of the former 1t was
intimated that the management Is con-
sidering the possibility of again increas-
ing the dividend rate. The present
rate is per cent. but with earnings
running at more than double that
amount 1t is believed, that higher rate
may be established.

Heavy Gr.in Loadings.

Figures compiled by the American
Railway Association show that the
loading Of grain and grain products
for tho week ended July 20 was the
heaviest since the week of September
3. 1921. A study Of the loadings for
the corresponding week year ago
shows that the initial movement OF the
new crop last year was extremely
rand. due to the unsual pressure on
agricultural interests to liquidate obli-
cations. This year. with less pressure
OF that sort. and even with the labor
difficulties on the railroads, the load
ings for tho week ended July 20 reached
a point within per cent. Of the record
n attained In 1921. n
