CHlLDREN'S CORNER
Edited by DR.. Jas. A. Fraser
1T CAN'T BE DONE

How many times have you said that? How many of you
have seen a scarecrow? If you were to go through the coun-
try, and through the fields after seed time, you will notice
that the farmers put Scarecrows up to scare away the crows
and the other birds which rob the fields of the valuable seed.
The farmers must do this else their crops will be ruined. l
have seen many kinds of scarecrows. Once | noticed a crow
that had been shot swinging from a stake by one foot. Again
have seen pieces of Irvine stretched across the fields. Some
times pieces of sticks are dressed up like a man. Such scare
crows are harmless. They are merely bluffs! 1t is impossible
for them to hurt anything. If the birds knew how harmless
they were, they would steal all the seed from the fields.
But We know how harmless the scarecrows are and think
it foolish of the birds to fly away. But on second thought, l
find that boys and girls are afraid of scarecrows. Over in the
Book of Proverbs l come face to face with the story Of a scare
crow. ''The slothful man saith, there is a lion in the way "
There was no lion in the way, only the man was too lazy 70
work, so he makes himself believe there was n lion. Now what
Excuse Scarecrow.
, No doubt many a boy has left school with a great amount
of home work to do. The afternoon is beautiful and he spends
so much time in play, that when night comes he is all tired
out. He takes down his books after supper and begins to
study. Let us suppose the first book is an arithmetic. The
first problem is rather difficult, and after a few attempts to
solve it he gives it up. Why? He sees a scarecrow-Dificul
ty. so the boy tries no more. 1t Can't Be Done. Do you
see? The scarecrow has frightened him. Everything worth
while is the world has a scarecrow.. The towards are afraid
of them. When Robert Fulton first sailed his boat up the
Hudson River there were a great many scarecrows standing on
the wharf, and they tried to scare him Off. But Fulton would
not listen to them. Can't we act in the same manner as Full
ton? Remember David went out one day to battle with a
giant, and David's scarecrow friends tried to brighten him
But David gave them no heed. And when Jesus would go to
Jerusalem on a certain occasion, there We're a large number Of
scarecrows in the way. He took no notice of them. Every man
and woman of real worth in the world meet with such OBJ
stacles, but they calmly go about their work and bring victory
out of defeat.
Never be afraid of the scarecrows whether they are in
side of YOU or outside! Just go ahead and do the right, and
do your duty. "a scarecrow, living or dead, never hurt any
one yet"

Glass Building Brick
Said to Be Everlasting

Glass-faced bricks with concrete
backing have been more or less used
In various parts Of the country. They
seem to be superior to any form Of
tile or glazed brick as lining for tun-
nels, swimming pools or bathrooms;
for the inside wal1s of garages, engine
houses, prisons, meat markets and
other structures where perfect clean
liness Ia as desirable as difficult. They
are heat and cold resisting, and de-
clared to be everlasting, requiring no
paint or other treatment to preserve
their appearance. For shops and fac
tories the concrete-backed glass brick
would seem an almost ideal material.
The construction of the brick is as
follows: To glass facing, one
fourth inch thick at Its thinnest part,
Is attached a -proportioned con-
crete back. The concrete backing Is
attached to the glass front by three
separate means, each entirely sufficient
to secure the union Of the two ma
terials. First, the cement on the
concrete adheres to the glass; second,
both ends Of the glass face are re-
turned by greater than a right angle,
thus imprisoning the concrete mass;
third, dovetailed rib of glass

The architect used excellent judg-
ment in designing this bungalow. In
the first place he gave 1t a porch that
extends across the width Of the house.
The roof has been given pitch that
carries 1t out over the porch, where 1t
is supported by four square columns.
In each side Of the roof at the front
fan-shaped windows have been set,
breaking the severe roof line and
adding to the attractiveness of the

WHO Is HE?

The man who will come to the
elief of Holly and at the same
time do himself a good deed2. The
Commercial Club wants someone
to take over the Tourist Camp
Ground, police it and care for it.
and charge tourists a small fee for
the privilege. using it. The club
which has an investment of $500
or more at the Camp Site will turn
over the privilege to the right
man the man OF character1ansd
responsibility Hundreds OF tou'r-
lists visit the camp every week.
One will often find thirty or forty
cars in the camp on a summer night
A man could run a small conces-
sion selling all sorts Of supplies or
could even run repair shop in
connection. A wideawake handy
man could pick up many dollar
at the camp Neither would this
take away one cent from the Holly
merchants since sales. and jobs
taken over by the care-taker would
be such as would usually pass over
TO some other town if not taken
care of at the camp MIX, eggs.
lunches, confectionery, garage sun
plies etc could be readily sold. 1t
is true that the neighbors about
the camp have been selling some
of these things but more stuff has
been stolen from them by ire
sponsible campers than they nave
gotten in Casual Sales. Indeed so.
serious has become the situation
that many of those living about
the grounds are at the point where
they are ready to petition the city
to remove the camp elsewhere.
The unsanitary conditions at the
camp, the abuse of the privilege
on the part Of a few campers, the
danger and damage to both camp
ers and near by residents-all cry
out for Il care.takcr at the camp,
who shall be armed with police
power and shall be competent to
keep the camp in condition. 1t
is mans job. Who is he?
The day of the free camp is over,
Tourists themselves will welcome
the charge They will gladly pay a
small fee for the comforts and pro.
lection it will afford them. The
bum and tramp will be eliminated.

cities will have a pay camp next
Summer Holly must do the same.
