BOY SCOUTS.
BY Joseph v. Kelly, Assist
ant Scout Executive

Scouting is the greatest exper-
fence that can come into the life
of a boy of twelve to sixteen
years of age. These are the days
of adolescence. They are the for
native years in personal habits
and mental health. They are the
impressionable years when every
boy is indelibly stamped with in
fiuences good or bad that endure
him to the end of his life. Scout
ing is fundamentally designed to
stamp good influences on a boy
by keeping him so busy in scout
ing activities that bad influences
largely excluded and when they
do enter the boys life, scouting
influences wholesome and manly,
are there to give them battle.
Scouting teaches the boy to use
his surplus energy or steam in
the service of others and provides
the medium through which ser
vice a be rendered. It takes
the spirit of the gang and con-
verts it into a community asset.
Scouting reaches the boy in a
way the boy likes. He responds
to it. He listens to it. He thinks
about it. He expresses his de-
sires through Scouting. 1t fills
the leisure time of the boy with
activities which are for his good.
Rarely does a boy who takes on
scouting beginning with the scout
oath and law, fail to receive an
influence in his life which is good
and lasting.

him up, so that he will not be late for

which he has and does not try to
harm her. Edgark says that he is

little attention for the rest OF the time.
Women wear little string or lace bon
nets to keep their SMOOTH short locks
from becoming disarranged when they
sleep. There are French and English
women who before the war enjoyed
the services OF a lady'S maid who
now must shift for themselves. For
them the bobbed or shingled hair is
matter Of economy. A weekly visit
to the barber is certainly less eXpen-
sive than the wages and maintenance
of a maid. But to the girl or woman
who is accustomed to acting as her
own maid there can be no such eco
nomical advantage.

The situation is most interesting
one-aS well for the psychologist as
for the student of women's fashion.

The question of the convenience Of
bobbed hair is one that has been much
debated. Some women assure you
that it is so much easier to keep short
hair in condition and that they are
much too busy to bother with long
hair. On the other hand, there are
women who feel that short hair re-
quires more time and attention, GER
tainly greater outlay with the hair
dresser, than the long sort.
In France this latter opinion seems
to prevail. When you ask why it is
that fewer working girls in France
wear short hair than in England or
America you are told that it is a mat
ter of economy with them. The
French working girl is SO thrifty-in-
timating, of course, that she at least
considers short hair an expensive
proposition.
Any fastidious girl can, if she has
to. keep long hair in smart condition
She can wash it and brush it-but
she cannot possibly trim 1t. and the
French woman knows that short hair
to look smart must be frequently trim
med. Moreover it is possible to curl.
even wave. long hair-but the girl
who can curl her own short hair so
that the results are anything but

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Not a Bad Idea.

Mrs. r. X. offers this suggestion
for the help of a child who holds his
breath and gets black in the face.
She writes:
II am taking this few minutes of
your busy day to offer a suggestion
which / hope will prove helpful to
you and to others, as it has to me.
My boy. until nearly years of age,
would hold his breath until blue in
the face and his body would become
limp. l tried 'snacking' him. throw
ing water at him and other disagree
able remedies. AS he is a very Sensi
tive child he would be ill and cross
several hours after each spell. On
my doctors recommendation l bought
g. bottle Of smelling salts. He now
has very few spells and far apart.
This gives him immediate relief, with
no bad after effects. | hope this will
help the readers of your wonderful
column"
This seems more sensible method
of helping the baby than, as you say,
other disagreeable methods. There
is usually some good reason why
baby holds his breath and if he can
be helped instead of punished for
