"Peeps at MANY Lands.n

Egypt and Palestine, or the Holy Land,
are the countries this book tells about.
In the first country the reader is taken
through the ancient city of Cairo. with
its unique bazars, mosques, temples and
picturesque inhabitants, up the ever.
changing banks and territory of the Nile,
where he sees men, women and children
just as they are pictured in the Bible.
The next journey is across the great So
hara desert with its nomadic tribes and
fierce animals.
In describing the Holy Land the SIM
pie life of the Syrian people is pic
tured. Little modern is known among
them. They still make their own cloth,
they have no. paved streets, the woman
is unrecognized, agricultural methods
are the same as they were thousands Of
years ago. In both countries the people
are noted for their hospitality TO the trav.

The book is essentially for children.
Both boys and girls will enjoy reading it
as the style is simple and interesting.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
The Small Town Newspaper.

Inc Omdu 1OWu NeWrPoPchs
From the St. Louis Star.
The public has peculiar interest in
the effort which is being made to ele-
vate the standard of the press Of this
state through the medium of journalism
Week which has been in progress at the
University of Missouri for the past few
days. During the week classes at the
Journalism school are dismissed and the
editors and publishers of newspapers
from all parts Of the stale gather to lis
ten to lectures and to Join in discussions
led by prominent journalists Of the
country.
There are few who have so great an
opportunity TO influence public opinion
as country newspaper editors and no.
where is good journalism of more i'm
portance than in the midst Of selfgov-
erning people where government can be
as strong and wise as the mass intelli-
gence and idealism of the people.
Yet many have been the editors, both
in little town and metropolis, who have
lost the confidence Of their readers and
with it the right to leadership by their
disregard of the public interest. The
primary purpose of newspaper will al.
ways be to give the news. But the privi-
lcse of aiding in the formation of public
opinion will rest with those journalists
who recognize a responsibility to their
readers and who are dominated by the
purposes which characterize the meet
ngs at the Missouri State School of
journalism at Columbia.

all Of these organizations with the ex.
ception of the American Boy Scouts
merged with the Boy Scouts of America.
1t was through the efforts of Edgar NJ.
Robinson that the different orgaaiza.
tions were brought together. From the
beginning he saw the possibilities of the
scout movement. The continuance of
the American Boy Scouts in the field
proved to be a source of embarrass.
ment and greatly retarded the proper de-
velopment Of the movement in this coun.
try. 1t was one of the important factors
in causing a misunderstanding as to the
aims and purposes of the movement be.
caused so much emphasis was placed by
the American Boy Scouts upon military
drill and training. Through the influ-
ence Of Adjutant- General Verbeck, one
Of the. National Scout commissioners,
the National Scouts disbanded early in
the year.

bankers of the United States, Great
Britain and Italy are now meeting in Eu-
rope to determine the possibility Of such
a loan.
Germany undoubtedly needs some f.
nancial assistance to get on her feet so
she can meet the reparations payments
and stabilize her exchange. An interna-
tional loan underwritten by bankers OF
the highest reputation is preferable to
loan by this or any other government. If
bonds are sold in this country, backed by
securities whose integrity is assured. the
individual investor will have to decide
whether the venture is wise one. No gov
ernmcai will be under any obligation TO
collect interest payments.
The present German government seems
sincere in IFS desire TO shoulder the
financial claims imposed by the Allies
as best il can. German trade and COM
merce are improving rapidly, but there
is a limit TO the cash payments she can
make. A little assistance now may be
of great benefit later on. Germany |
should have a loan on fair terms, be
obliged to use il for constructive pur-
poses and thea pay promptly the repara-
lion claims.

"The Cornish Penny"

An entertaining novel by Coulson Cade
dealing with life during the war in a
small town in England, is THE Cornish
Penny" This book is written in a care
ful manner, the diction and choice Of
words being delightful. The plot is cley.
er, though highly drawn in places.
The book reminds one of some Of the
cid writer's in its care for detail, its de.
scriptions and its rather slow action in
places, but one appreciates the work Of
the author and finds enjoyment in his
craftsmanship.

games for young persons and for Older
persons, for small groups and for large
groups, for recreation indoors and recre-
alton outdoors for individual players and

THE NEW BOOKS
white and Black"

This novel by H. A. Stands is an en-
iertaining story with the problem of the
white and black races as the theme. The
story is set in a small country town in
Texas, and the characters are ''just folks
much as will be found in any small
towns. The evils arising from the close
association of black and white are well
portrayed. The Ku Klux Klan is
brought in.
The book is entertaining and instruc.
tive, and is well worth buying and read.

LILLIAN RUSSELL.

To millions of people who never heard
Of Helen Louise Leonard or Mrs. Alexan.
der p. Moore, the name of Lillian Rus
sell is household word. The great act.
ress is dead. For more than a quarter
Of a century her name has beea powerful
in theatrical circles.
Lillian Russell was born in Iowa. Her
father was a prominent newspaper man.
BY dint Of constant and relentless effort
she achieved steller position on the
stage even before the lights on Broadway
had evolved into their present bright
ness. Her name was embIazoned to the.
public before the present electrical meth
cd was established.
As the perennial beauty Of the Ameri-
can stage, she reigned supreme for thir-
iy years. She was one star whose name
was on the collective tongue Of the peo-
pc, and yet no trace Of scandal ever
smirched her name. Time eventually
took the inevitable toll Of her voice as
light opera star, yet she came back" to
her former degree Of popularity in come
dy; and critics say that it is doubtful
that she was ever more convincing than
in the last production she was connected
with, "Wild6re."
She was married to a .Pinsburgh edi-
tor and lived the last years of her life
in useful and relatively quiet manner.
But she never lost touch with the world
about her.0nly a few months ago she
carried out an important mission enirus,.
cd to her by President Harding in con.
nection with immigration conditions.
She died at the age of 60 years. When
the final curtain was rrng down, when
she answered her last encore, she passed
from the stage Of this worlds action
with fame undimmed and in the enjoy-
menf Of a reputation as one Of the great.
est beauties Of the day.

Mr.. Quick and the Writing Game

MIR. Quick and the Writing Game.
From the St. Louis Times.
MIR. Herbert Quick, fine creative artist
that he is in the field of literary en-.
deavor, put his hand to a troublesome
plow when he essayed to tell the students
Of the Missouri School of journalism
at Columbia the difference between lit.
erature and journalism.
THE Journalist" Mr.. Quick decided,
rs an artisan. The literary worker is
an artist. Journalism is an industry, and
literature an art. Leisurely ways are
demanded by the art; the other calling
must know rush and hurry" Therefore.
the distinguished author of dozen splen-
did books and able public official, too,
concludes, literature cannot have the
punch and bang of journalism, nor the
latter the finish Of art"
Which is pretty summing up of the
matter, to be sure. Yet widely read folk
know that some Of the best bits of writ
ing known to the world of letters or
art have been newspaper. articles
thrown off at white heat and under the
wonderful impetus which inspiration of
the moment. the spur of the happening
itself, lent to the worker. And the poor.
est writing to be found in all the world
bedraggles the field Of literature where.
given the leisure and all other oppor-
tunity which art might demand for its
exemplification, truly gifted men. and wo.
men have made messes OF their endeay.
ors quite as frequently as work of fine
merit
As matter Of fact. Mr.. Quick's sep
arating Of the two kinds of writing, at
traciive as he makes it. has the fault Of
all such efforts. None of them trace
definite line between journalism and lit
erature. The thing is too difficult
every attempt is met. with deniaIs Of
its truth in the form Of examples of what
has been done under rules which the sep
aratist has just said made those achieve
ments impossible. Writing is a myste.
rious thing; it cannot be explained. Try
ing to clear the mystery is harder. even.
than writing itself-and everybody who
ever tried putting thoughts upon paper |
knows what task that is.

THE BEST SELLER.

There is "a best seller" every year. bu
the perennial best seller" is the Bible
said Harry Hansen. the literary editol
Of the Chicago Daily News. This is par
tally accounted for the high standard oi
the literature contained in the Bible. by
its acceptability as a gift and the religi.
Gus interest that centers about it. Rec
ognizing the strong demand for this
most universal Of books, West Virginia
editor has run il in serial form. And in
this way many readers who have never
opened Bible are enjoying the Old
Testament stories and wondering why
they had not read them before.
A best seller in serial form! Few
would object to that idea and many
would approve. The Bible is the book
upon which all other books rest, in a
sense. Our foremost English and Amer
lean writers have testified 10 its influence
in their writings. Its vocabulary and
icrsc Anglo-Saxon phraseology are i'm
bedded deep in the fibre of our best lit
oray productions. The reading of the
Bible and Shakespeare are recommended
to every literary man. One cannot fully
understand our literature without
knowledge of the Bible. Browning and
Tennyson arc full Of allusions TO it. Ii
has been translated into almost every
known tongue and is the most univer-
sally read book of our day. People
should be kept familiar with it. 1t does
not matter whether it appears in serials
or in book form.

Origin of the Boy Scouts.

+ In the beginning of 1910 tie idea of
introducing the Boy Scout movement
along lines similar to those of the En-.
glish Boy Scouts, which had been or.
ganized in 1907 and developed under the
personal supervision of Lieutenant. Gen.
eral Sir Robert S. S. Baden.Powell, was
first proposed by W. d. B6yce of Chi
cago. Prior to this time a number of
troops had been started in various parts
of the country by men who had been
impressed with the possibilities of the
scheme, through the reading of Lieuten-
ant-Ceneral Sir Robert Baden Powell's
English handbook, Scouting for Bows"
MIR. Boyce's interest was occasiOned be-
cause of an actual service rendered him
in true scout spirit by a London boy
scout, who because of his obligation to
do 4 good turn daily and the rule against
the acceptance Of tips. greatly astonished
and impressed Mr.. Boyce. After the
conference with Sir Robert Baden. Powell
he secured the cooperation of friends
in Washington, ID. C., and incorporated
an organization of the Boy Scouts of
