SCIENTIST, SCOUTS FRIEND

Luther Burbank, California's plant
wizard, regards the Improvement of
mankind as a greater work than the
improvement of plant species. Il
hope that the same laws, as far as
practicable, which I have discovered
and demonstrated in plant life, will be
applied to the Improvement of human
life," Me states. Although immersed
in important experiments. Burbank
finds time for boy scout affairs in his
home town of Santa Rosa, California.
His interest in the scout movement for
the improvement of the growing boy,
is q thoughtful tribute to the work of
the organization.

Dear Miss Brooks:

Dear Miss Brooks:
This is the first time we have written
to you for advice. We have a few ques-
lions we would like you to answer for
us IL you will. "a Is 1t proper for girls
sixteen years Of age to keep company
We have been going with them over a
year and they have treated US royal, and
they haven't gone with any other girls
since they have started to go with us?
Is 1t improper to go with any other
boys when you have a steady fellow
and he Is away from home for a time?
CD What is the latest dance record or
song? (3) VIII you please publish tho
song called. IT Amt Nobody's Baby"
(4) Is It improper for a boy to give a
girl a ring for present and Is 1t wrong
for a girl to wear her fellows rings?
Wishing you much success In your
work, we remain.
BUG and DUNK, Of Dixie
"a Yes. girls, the ages are all right
but you should be just beginning to go
with the boys. l think 1t much better
for you to go with more than just one
boy, than that you should go steadily
with only one. Boys and girls your
age are going out together for Just a
nice. social time. and not wanting or
expecting to fall In love. you should
not expect or wish the attention of only
one boy or girl, but just be good friends
and pals with all the boys and girls for
a few years yet. / am sure you would
have a much jollier. better time to-
gether In this way. (2) Among the
late dance records are "Those Star
Spangled Nights In Dixieland," and |

popular songs are, Kentucky Echoes"
