ing in defiance of the law The pres ent attitude is not so much to up- hold the law as to escape being caught breaking it. As pr James E. Russell, dean emeritus of Teachers college, has said of the Scout pro- gram of character building. Tt works adriotly by thousand specific hab- it's to anchor boy to modes of right living. But best of all it exhibits positive genius in devising situations that test boys self-reliance and give full scope to his talent for orig inality and leadership
 "We have definite evidence that Scouting does train for leadership because although only one out of every seven boys during the past twenty-one years has been a Scout. we find that in our colleges 65 per cent of the students are former Scouts, GO per cent of the captains of college football teams and eight members of the 'All-American elev- en' in recent census, were former Scouts. An interesting comparison with these is the records made by the Rhodes scholars-outstandi students in our colleges. Sixty eight per cent are former Scouts I want to emphasize that first last and all the time, Scouting is a game But boys experience as a Scout in doing the things which the pro- gram of Scouting inspires and stim- ulates, forms desirable habits of con- duct, which will insure better pre- pared citizen, a citizen better quali- fled to give leadership in whatever held his activity may send him."

FOOD PRICES ARE LOWER AND WILL
 GO DOWN MORE
They Are More Reduced To-day Than at Any Time Since the Great World War Started
BY CECIL OWEN

Washington, Feb 6-Foor costs, now lower than at any time since the World war, are destined to go still lower this spring.. government statistical authorities believe.
 Official said there undoubtedly is some lag between retail and whole sale prices. but generally the retail prices are in line.
 Consumers were urged to make sure they are obtaining the lowest prices in their cities. as officials said prices vary widely in different types of stores even in the same cities. They pointed out that when prices are declining, some retailers main- tain the old scale longer than oth- CTS, thus providing customers of the advantage of low wholesale prices.
 Absence of reliable current retail price figures makes it difficult for officials to ascertain quickly the re- tail price trend.
 The bureau of labor statistics pre- pares monthly average figures for certain cities, and the agriculture de- partment also secures data. But fig ures thus obtained were said to be at best "a rough sample" subject to many qualifications. The federal farm board some time ago warned the public prices o1 meats and bread were not in line with wholesale figures. Since then prices have dripped further, but | recently the dairy advisory commit tee charged that dairy products were ! retailing too high.
 Some cities call sirloin steal Porterhouse. Some include deliver. charges in their prices, and freigh costs also account for some other apparent discrepancies in retai prices.
 The average price of :irloin steak on December 15 was A cents a pound in Atlanta, 38 cents in Balti- more, 66 cents (Porterhouse) in Boston and AS cents in Chicago. Re- ports that eggs are selling for 12 cents dozen in Kansas and 33 cents in Boston were explained by the fact the Kansas price is the farm price.
 Suffering for lack of food in some cities was said to be due entirely to inability of people to buy, not lack of goods.
 Retail prices always lag behind wholesale, both on hise and on a decline, officials said.
 The fact that apples and some other fruit and vegetable crops are rotting on the form. while selling high in the city, was explained by freight costs which make it imprac- ticable to ship these products long distances.

The Boys Scouts of America will celebrate their coming of age this month--the twenty-first anniversary of their founding.
 "On the occasion of the twenty first anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America" writes the editor of Boys Life", the Boy Scout maga-
 zine, q extend my cordial greetings to those 5,179,000 boys and men who
 since February 8, 1910. have pledged themselves to the Scout oath and law, and have received through the Scout program the training that helps
 them to qualify for citizenship and leadership"
 Ut is my conviction, based on my experience. that never has there been a finer generation of young people than the one growing up in America today" continues the Boys Life" editor. "In my judg-
 ment they are more wholesome
 minded and in larger proportion are earnestly striving to take advantage of their opportunities and to do
 right than ever before. Scouting is
 a game for boys. The whole scheme of Scouting has been worked out to
 build character and train for leader shin. It does this through what l may term a -four wheel brake sys- tenn deliberately designed for this
 objective. This system is based on
 four things-physica fitness, general
 education, vocational guidance, and character.
 Through outdoor and camping activities. health education and reg
 ular physical check-up the scout
 gets a consciousness of his individual
 responsibility to make and keep himself physically fit. This is the first wheel. The second wheel is
 general education. Scouts are urged to take full advantage of their edu-
 cational opportunities and Scout
 leaders try to make it possible for Scouts to continue in school and col lege. Vocational guidance is the third wheel. Scouting urges upon boys the need of discovering some thing that they can do well and with satisfaction, and then training them selves so as to be efficient.
 "The fourth wheel is character. We, as a nation. are tremendously handicapped to-day because of the example of those who are thinking and even speaking loosely, and act

Road Building
 Over in Scotland
New Highway Being Made From Tyndrum to Glencoe

Looking over a recent issue of the Glasgow Herald of Scotland, one does not see anything which would lead him to believe that business is dull in that country. A long article on the new thirty and a half mile roadway from Tyndrum to Glencoe at an estimated expense of five hundred thousand pounds, shows that Scotland is more than holding it's own, regardless of re- ports to the contrary.
 The description of the scenery along the routes furnishes pretty good reason why the natives are loath to leave there and try their luck in other parts of the British possessions. Evidently the country is but sparsely settled, reference made to the number of deer seen in the fields making it that there is good ground for the complaint that some have more land than they ought to have and others not enough on which to make a decent living. No wonder the people protest and made a demand for the right to live at home.

Thousands of girls who drag them selves around certain days of every month! Painful periods that need not be painful-that are not painful to those who know of Midol. These wonderful tablets make monthly periods an incident. No pain, not even discomfort when you have learned to depend on Midol; the women who used to have the hardest time have found this to be true.
 This marvellous product is the work of specialists. It is not a mar cotic. but it stops the pain just the same in five to seven minutes. And if you take 1t in time, the pain never even starts. Every drugstore has Midol in trim metal pocket case for fifty cents. so it is folly to suf- fer! Many have found Midol the quickest relief for headaches, neu- ralgia, neuritis. and other pain.
