The Automobile Graveyards

The federal war production board
has set out to gather in iron and
steel scrap from the country's au-
tomobile graveyards, and it hopes
to find 100000 to 100000 old
cars. The government has power
to requisition the veteran machines
if necessary.
There will be an enormous
amount of useful metal in those
old cars. Their parts may be so
worn that it is costly to repair
them. In the main the metal is still
there, and capable of being con-
verted into the weapons the coun-
try needs.
The American people have worn
out their cars prematurcly by too
fast driving, collisions. and various
accidents, and by failure to care
for defects when they first appear.
Thus they have created vast res
ervoir of scrap. Uncle Samuel needs
millions of tons of it, to keep off
the bad neighbors that are ram
paging over the world.

Home Town Team Work

A baseball team needs team work
before it wins games. If the play
ers are merely trying to show off
before the spectators. and do not
cooperate with their fellow mem
bers, they won't probably win many
games.
Systems of team work are also
needed in promoting the develop
ment and advantages of a city or
town. The people need to cooper
ate to gain victories over the OBJ
stacles in the way of town advance.
Perhaps the best way to cooperate
is to join the organizations of the
home town, and be willing to do a
fair amount of work to accomplish
the aims of these organizations.
A few people should not be fore
ed to do all the work of an organi-
zation. If all its members are will
ing to take hold and help when
asked to do so, the organization
accomplishes results, and helps
make the home town a better place
to live in.

If You Can't Get Tires

What will happen to the average
automobile owner, if his tires wear
out, and he is unable to replace
them? That problem is worrying
many persons. If such a one works
in some distant factory which is
not reached by any system of pub
lie conveyance, he seems to be up
against a serious situation. Very
likely some neighbor works in the
same shop. If so, and if that neigh
Dor has a set of good tires, the
two can perhaps double up in the
use of a machine.
With over 30,O0O,0O0 motor We
hicles in this country, it should be
possible to transport the American
people wherever they need to go,
even if tires are short for a year
or two. AS it is, they get to lot
of places to which it is not neces-
sary for them to go. Perhaps they
can have plenty of fun going to
things around home, to which they
can walk, or ride in the neighbor's
car.

Standards of NeatnesS

In many towns there is a gen.
eral lack of order which gives a
most unfavorable impression. Ac-
cumulations of waste and refuse lie
about the street for months or
years. and no one is appointed to
clear them up. Perhaps no one feels
any responsibility to do it. Peo-
pie seem careless about their
homes, and let the discarded stuff
accumulate in heaps of ugliness.
People tolerate .eyesores on their
property.
Towns should have standards of
neatness and cleanliness. The re-
fuse should be kept out of the
streets. People should clean up
any disorder on their hom e
grounds and should not tolerate
anything that looks messy and un-
pleasant. Many people think that
anything will go in their back
yards, but these portions of their
grounds are seen by the neighbors
and often by the general public.
A clean, we'll kept town is pretty
sure to advance in prosperity.

Counsel From Abe Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln, whose birth
day is celebrated February IL, left
many utterances which throw light
on our present situation. All the
time he was fighting the great War
between the States, he was think
ing how the two contending sec
tions were to be reconciled after
the war.
with malice toward none. and
charity toward ALL" was his philo-
sophy of how to settle and prevent
wars. He did not dream of crush
ing a conquered foe. He wanted to
reconcile the elements that had been
fighting, and make them satisfied
to live quietly together again.
If he had lived, his theory of
reconstructing the government
would have led the contending sec
tions to lay aside their anlmosities.
make concessions in the interest of
harmony, and enlist the support of
all citizens in the production of uni
versal fraternity. If the first World
War had been settled in the Lincoln
spirit, the United States would not
be called on to fight a second time.

Boy Scout Anniversary

On February 5, 1910, an organi-
cation called the Boy Scouts OF
America was chartered under the
laws of the District of Columbia.
This society was originally a COM
bination of the "Woodcraft In
dians" and the "Sons of Daniel
Boone" which had been formed to
build up the character of boys, in
structing them in good morals and
useful occupations.
These movements have repre-
sented many years of study of the
boy problem. How to appeal to
boys is a question that has vexed
countless teachers and leaders. The
boy heart is a secret place, and you
can't quite tell what goes on inside
that inscrutable face. There are Of
ten thoughts that would, greatly
surprise the parents of these rest
less kids.
One trouble in the old days with
working for boys was that people
were too apt to give them things
to do that the old folks liked. but
which did not appeal to the boys.
The old folks wanted instruction
and information, but the boys want
ed fun and amusement. The two
ideals did not mix, and the kids
were often very restive under such
leadership.
The Boy Scout movement. which
is now 80 years old, was founded on
a thorough study of the boy mind.
1t took advantage of the fact that
boys like out door life, camping.
and countless stunts by
which they can develop their pow
ers. 1t gave them the pleasures they
liked, and in return secured such
power over the boy mind that the
kids would listen to good talk
about their future careers, about
life and duty and their country and
good citizenship.
The result has been marvellous. /
great army of boys has grown up /
who will never give the country any |
trouble. Scout experience has Gre
lted foundation of good charac-
-er.

The Digging Girl

There is a joke that men fall in
love with the girl friends eyes, but
that those who are tight on money
can't get near enough to their girl
friends to tell what their eyes look
like.
There are girls who are so eager
for high jinks that they expect
their boy friends to spend money
very freely on them. Those girls
do not usually make very satisfac-
tory marriages.
The sensible girl knows how
hard money comes to a young man,
and she feels it should be con-
served. She wants him to spend
enough on her to prove he is not
stingy, but when it comes to blow
ing it in on pleasures which con-
stitute an unfair drain on his in
come the thing is too contrary to
her judgment. She feels the boy
who scatters his money around
will scatter plenty away from his
wife after they are wed.

Soldier Sees The World

The average young man is not
probably anxious to become a SOL
der. If he is drafted for such SER
vice, he at least has the pleasure
of satisfying one longing, and that
is to see something of the world.
Youth looks at the hills and plains
on his horizon line, and often wish
es to cross them. Automobiles
have given him better chance to
get outside his ordinary life than
youth ever had before, but his
dreams go out far beyond the
range his car is likely to travel.
If he becomes a soldier, or sailor
in the navy, he at least is pretty
sure to see a wider section of the
world. Very likely he may see
foreign and strange cities, and the
ways of people far remote from his
ordinary life. "'" a'
1t is thrilling to many a youth.
They feel something Of the old
urge of the explorers, that led men
to cross vast oceans and brave
many perils, to find new worlds.
When the boy comes back, the ex-
citement of distant cities and
strange surroundings will be a
memory.

Sugar RationS

Announcement has been made
that the country would soon be
put on a plan for rationing sugar,
which will probably give each in
dividual about a pound a week.
Such a plan would not probably
have been necessary, except that
many people have been laying up
stores of this staple so that tenn
porarily the supply has run short.
1t is stated that last year the
average home consumption was
pound and half per person each
week. People may think pound
week apiece is not enough, but
many people use more sugar than
they need. Probably they will be
sweet enough, even if they don't
put so many spoonfuls on their
cereal and in their coffee.
The American people throw
around their supplies as if there
was no limit to them. Over in Eu-
rople people would consider that
pound a week per person was
glorious luxury. sssr..,ns,,.

What Made Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was born Feb
ruary IL, 1909. His birthday is OBJ
served by millions of Americans.
and 1t is a good time to bring out
the thought that there is a chance
for every boy and girl in America
to rise and accomplish important
things.
Lincoln did not probably have
over a year of study in any school.
There are very few children in the
United States now who do not have
far better opportunities than that.
Lincoln made up as a boy for that
lack of opportunity, by his great
studiousness. He was a persistent
reader of every book he could get
hold of. In the light of the blazing
fire on his family hearth he read the
Bible, Shakespeare, the history of
the United States, the life of
George Washington, and many
more books. He learned from these
treasures of wisdom the fundamen-
tai principles of Americanism,
democracy, and good conduct.
How can any American youth
say he has no chance, when he
sees the things Abe Lincoln did
with his poor opportunities? The
way is open to all, and it mere
ly takes grit and study and work
to climb up the paths of life.

Foreseeing The Future

1t is a very easy thing to look
back and see the things that should
have been done to prepare for the
present war emergency. In the re-
cent days when those things could
have been done more easily, not so
many people could see through the
dim curtain of the future. The
country should have begun to pro-
duce tanks and airplanes on a
great scale the day the war started,
but not many people could see that
need at that time.
People often make similar mis-
takes in personal AFFAIRS. Probably
not many of them had any idea
last summer that rubber was going
to become so scarce. Probably not
many Of them bought the new auto
mobile tires which they now wish
they had purchased, Many of them
now wish they had bought new cars
when these could easily have been
obtained.
People may well ask if they are
now neglecting action that they
should take. In few months or
years, will they be kicking them
selves for their shortsightedness
back in early 1912, that they did
not see the needs of the days i'm
mediately ahead?
Foresight should persuade peo-
pie not to spend their entire in
comes on their present needs and
enjoyments if they can possibly
help it. If they blow in all their
money on the things they want
now, they may be hard up when the
war ends, if the shop in which they
are working has shut down owing
to stoppage of defense work.
The people who set aside por-
ton of each weeks pay to buy de-
fense bonds and stamps are show
ing the same foresight as the man
who feared a shortage of rubber
back in 1871, and provided him
self with a complete new set of
tires. He now laughs at the world
as he rides along, while less per-
ceptive people wish they knew how
he foresaw the future. They can
make up for some lost time by
laying in some defense bonds.

After-Dinner Oratory

Wonder how many speeches are
delivered each year in the United
States. at after-dinner occasions
All over the land the people are
meeting for their grand eats, after
which some orator or orators dis
cuss the state of the nation or
something else. The people like
this spellbinding, for if they didn't,
they would never listen to it.
What is the art of making a
good after-dinner speech? The
orators should put some humor
into their talk. If one can't pump
up anything original there are no
end of joke books. They should
give the people some useful infor-
nation and good thoughts. The
quotation books help out with the
conclusions of the wisest folks.
Some talks are too long. A famous
minister once said that no souls
are saved after the first 30 minutes.
Anyone who ever worked for
newspaper will know that most any
address can be boiled down.
