GREAT WRITER'S YOUNG DAYS
Tales Told of Two Authors Who Have
Risen to Eminence in Liter
sry World.

Mr.. Rudyard Kipling was in the
habit Of selling his old schoolboOks to
a dame who kept a curiosity shop at
BidefOrd. In recent years many peO-
pie have visited the shop, hoping to
pick up volume with an early COM
position of the great man scrawled in
the margin. They have been disgust
ed to hear that the old dame rubbed
out everything Of the kind.
mo" she said, on one occasion,
Master Kipling was always fair TO
me, and he may have written things
not so good as those he has sold since.
I wasn't going to have them pOking
fun at him." Which shows the pOpu-
larity Mr.. Kipling enjoyed in his
schOOldays.
Another great writer, Sir James
Barrie, has good story to tell of his
young days. 1t was at the time of his
first success, and an old tOwnswoman
of Kirriemuir, Barrie's native place,
was asked what she thought of 1t.
"Weel." she replied, cautiously, its
a guide thing the laddie can mex some
thing at his writin'; he could never

FICTION WRITERS TO BLAME
Girl With Experience Is DisilIusioned
Concerning Qualities Of the
"Stronq, Silent Man."

"Deliver me-" said the girl with ex-
perience, from any more Of these
strong, silent men. They make very
good fiction heroes, but personally |
prefer a man whose chief claim to
strength does not lie in his breaking
all records for silence. l like man
who knows the value of pause or
moment in which no one says any
thing, but in which unutterable things
are felt.
"A man who skaters a time like
that, or doesn't even know when ii
comes along. is, as We say, 1mpoSsi-
BILE II there's anything worse than
a female chatterbOx, it's a male chat
terbOx, hut that's no reason why man
can't answer Yes when you say, Isn't
it lovely dayT without thinking that
he Is violating secret.
"Writers are to blame, l believe, for
building up the tictionally perfect, but
realistically terrible, type of man,
whose stock In trade is an enigmaticas
smile. Consequently, every man who
Is shy, bashful or stupid feels that he
has an excellent alibi. A girl who is
not versed in the ways of men, but
knows her story books backward and
forward, Is led to believe that the man
who listens alike to her prattling, her
small talk and her prOfOundest re-
marks with a mere Quirk to the left
side OF his mouth, Is a fiction hero
come to life. After season or two, de-
pending on her perspicacity, she knows
alas. that he Is generally just very
dull man. OF course, If he is dull, it's
much better that he should be dumb as
7, well. The only pity is that he appears
at first, to be what he decidedly is
not"

Municipal Camps Grow in Faver.

Counties such as ella county, AriE.
and Fresno and MaripOsa counties,
Cal, and cities such as Denver, Salt
Lake City. Los Angeles and Butte,
now have programs of county or nu-
nicipal development which provide for
maintaining county or municipal
camps and camp grounds within the
national forests. This growing use
means for the national forests new op-

WRONG IDEAS ABOUT ALASKA
Winters There Are Mild, Thermometer
In Region Of Juneau Barely
Reaching Zero.

| met a family in juneau, Alaska.
that had formerly resided in Cleve-
land. l asked the lady of the house if
it wasn't somewhat difficult to stand
the rigOrs of the northern climate
writes Sherman Rogers in the Outlook.
She laughed outright.
"Well," she answered. 1--WE endured
Cleveland winters, and Juneau is GER
tainly a paradise compared with Cleve-
land, either in winter or summer. We
have been north eight years in all;
spent five winters here, and three
back home; the five years we have
lived here during the winter months
the thermometer has never reached
zero. Do you imagine 1t takes rig
OrOus person to stand such climateF
This WAS followed by peals of laugh
ter and further remarks about the
silly Ideas of people in the States re-
garding the climate of Alaska.
Southeastern Alaska has an Oregon
Washington climate, due to the Jap
aneSe current, which has the same eff
feet from Ketchikan to Cape Spencer
as 1t has on Puget sound, resulting in
very mild winters and extremely de-
lightful summers. Very seldom, in the
last 20 years, has the thermometer
reached zero In this entire section.
The interior of Alaska, made famous
by exaggerating nOvelists, has a eli
mate closely duplicating Minnesota 10
the winter and Maine or Oregon in
summer.

Records Patients Rest.

Recording continuously the slightest
movements of a patient in bed, and
thereby determining the hours of COM
plete and untroubled rest he has had,
is an idea recently introduced. This re-
suit Is obtained by first placing a sheet
of rubber beneath one of the bed
posts and attaching special apparatus
to the post. The apparatus consists,
briefly, of lever, one end of which is
fastened to the bed post, the other
having a recording pen affixed TO 1t.
Underneath the pen is located a clock
work drum containing a chart divided
into "a hours, so that a continuous
curve of the sleeper's movements is
kept and may be consulted If 1t Is de-
sired to ascertain how he has rested,
or to convince a patient that he has
ULderrated his hours Of rest.-Popular

OHIO COUNCIL
OF CARPENTERS
Held Interesting and Large
ly Attended Convention
at Mansfield Last
Week
By HERMAN PERPINGON

The ninth annual convention of the
Ohio State Council of Carpenters was
held at Mansfield, Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week, about
70 delegates being present.
The officers report, as we'll as the
reports of the delegates present, in
dicate that the U. B. in Ohio has not
only withstood the attacks of the open
shoppers, but has come back stronger
than before the depression in bust
ness that halted building operations
all over the state.
Outside of Akron, Toledo, Lima and
Springfield, where union-busting is
the order of certain concerns, Secre-
tary Bill's report shows that wage
increases have been obtained and the
major portion of the affiliated locals
are receiving better pay and far more
steady employment than in the boom
period of 1919-1920.
A tabulation of the rs local unions
affiliated with the state council
shows that SO cities have a wage scale
of 81 per hour or over and that the
average wage throughout Ohio is
$1.03 per hour, an increase Of q cents
an hour over last year and of II cents
over the peak wages of 1920.
AT the present time 76 of the 10
locals of Ohio are affiliated with the
state council with combined mem
bership of 15,519 or over 80 per
cent of the state
Besides going on record in favor
of supporting the workman's compen-
sation and old age pension referen-
dums, the state council demanded that
Governor Donahey require the depart
ment of industrial relations to en-
force the eight-hour day on state
work, and steps were taken to better
organize the carpenters in small
towns

charge of helping and healing as soon

organization was formed locally, no

folks of their duty, but our people
cheerfully availed themselves of their
privilege to contribute to this most
worthy cause
The children in the public and
parochial schols in both the city and
