February 8 is he eighteenth anniversary of the incorpora- ion of the Boy Scouts of America. Year by ear scouting has progressed until the move- ent now has 800,000 boys and leaders. The rganization seeks to build character in boys id to train them for the duties of citizenship. e Boy Scout movement has left its impress pon 3,500,000 American boys since 1910. On the night of February 8, hundreds of jousands of boys, following the annual scout- custom, will rededicate themselves anew to ideals and objectives of the Scout move- ment as expressed in the scout oath and law to s which they will again pledge themselves. There will be scout programs on every day of the week, expressive of the Boy Scout’s life and activities, closing with church services on junday, February 12. The Boy Scouts of America is a part of a = great movement growing around the world. 2 More than fifty nations have Boy Scout or- 3 ganizations affiliated through an international z.brotherhood with the Boy Scouts of America. “Scouting is a great force for world peace. Scouting has directed the gang spirit into worthwhile activities. The “Gang Neglected” Sunder the influence of the Boy Scouts of - = America has become the “Gang Directed.” = Very few Boy Scouts ever get into the crim- =inal courts. Many Boy Scouts rank high when = matriculating for college. More than fifty = per cent of Rhodes scholars are scouts. + Boy Scouts made a great contribution of community service during four great disasters, the Mississippi flood, the New England flood, the St. Louis tornado and the Pittsburgh ex- plosion in the past year. Their work won the praise of governors, mayors, many oth«r pub- lic officials and ranking officers of the Red Cross. During Boy Scout anniversary week scouts will be mobilized in many communities to demonstrate the effectiveness of mobiliza- tion in time of municipal or national need. essa = gue Peeevereet vt tel ter etter Ss 17 seg terees “Still Racing the Wind If the ghosts of the old-time Yankee sea cap- tains still hover around the wharves of our salt-water ports, as some maintain, it is to be hoped that they read the daily papers. They would be interested, we believe, in the stories about the new ships which American builders are planning for the transatlantic trade; interested, even though they might not be willing to admit that these projected ships would have anything at all in common with the graceful, white-winged clippers of the old days. If present plans go through, 10 or more huge ships will be built. Each ship will be capable of crossing the Atlantic in four days. Upper decks and superstructures will be copied after those grotesque warships, the Saratoga and Lexington, and each ship will carry its own fleet of airplanes. The old-timers, we repeat, wouldn’t admit it; but these ships, nevertheless, will be the lineal descendants of the. famous clippers of old, In them the idea that was back of the clippers will be carried to its logical conclu- sion—and the ghosts of the tarry-handed oid sea dogs will come into their own again. Up until a century ago, speed was the last quality one looked for in a merchant ship. ‘The picturesque galleons of Spain, with tower- ing poops and tub-shaped underbodies, needed a stiff gale, as Conrad said, to move at all; and though the Dutch and English improved on these models, their ships were still bluff- bowed and wall-sided, built to plod along at the dizzy speed of four knots if the wind was fa- vorable. Trading by sea was a leisurely oc- _ cupation in those days. ._ Then, about 100 years ago, came a change. Mercantile competition became keener, and the shipper, who could get his cargo there first | was the shipper who made the money. Amer- ‘ican and British designers began narrowing the body lines and improving sail areas. In- credibly beautiful and speedy ships resulted; such vessels as Donald McKay’s Sovereign of the Seas could maintain a speed of 20 knots an hour if the wind held good. e knifing through the waves—these the old- timer could understand and appreciate. The method has changed, but not the spirit. The new liner, speeding over the Atlantic at express-train speed, driven to the utmost of its capabilities, hurling airplanes at the distant shore in order to clip a few hours from its schedule—this is, truly, the lineal descendant of the famous clipper, whose skippers carried ‘ upper topsails when rival vessels were hove-to, and drove their vessels with a feverish eager- ness that made Yankee speed famous the world over. A Way Out For the Farmer Where are America’s farmers heading? Toward a new prosperity—or toward peasan- try? Speakers at the meeting of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation the other day seemed _wor- ried over the farmer's outlook. Prof. W. E. Dodd of the University of Chicago was pessi- mistic, asserting that neither the farmer nor his friends “seem able to check the downward drift of agriculture.” Not so gloomy was L. B. Palmer, president of the federation. The farmer, he asserted, “must become well versed on all basic prob- lems, not only of production but of marketing, purchasing, legislation and home and commun- ity development.” In this way, he predicted, —jthe farmer could win a new prosperity. We're inclined to think his view is the right one. The farmer has a rather tough row to hoe, to be sure; but there seems little reason to suppose that industry, scientific manage- ment and careful planning will not see him through it. | Editorial Comment | The Indian Bureau (New York Times) Despite the intemperance of some of the at- tacks on the Indian Bureau during the last few years, there seems merit in the complaints to the effect that the Indian Bureau is antiquated and cannot efficiently meet the present-day needs of the Indians. Good should therefore re- sult if Senator King’s resolution is favorably acted upon for an investigation of the entire In- dian question. A number of institutions and in- dividuals have been busy during the last year obtaining facts in the field. Furthermore, the Indian Commissioner has profited from some of the suggestions made to him by his civil- jan advisers and has done what he could to make improvements by departmental regula- tions. ‘ Doubtless he will be the first to welcome the proposed investigation. His troubles have been largely due to the past unwillingness of con- ess to deal with the modern needs of the In- ians. It is true that the point of view of many of the members of the Indian Bureau is hampered by old traditions.. This is inevitable when it is realized how greatly the Indian problems have changed in the last thirty years. We forget that men are still in active service who fought in the last important Indian cam- paign.. Many of the Indian reservations were set aside during the days of the frontier, and were designed to restrict the range of. the In- dians rather than to help them. Locally, there is still a tendency in some states to look upon the Indians as undesirables. ‘ In carrying out the education and the health programs, as well as in performing some of the routine administrative work in the Indian agencies, the bureau has been handicapped be- cause the available funds have not made it pos- sible to employ a sufficiently high grade per- sonnel. It is to be hoped that out of the tes- timony presented it will be possible to point the way toward necessary reforms and to con- vince congress that the expenses which these reforms will cost are justifiable. Much of the blame that has been heaped on the Indian Bu- reau should really be passed along to congress. The least it can do is to make suitable provi- sion for the few hundred thousand Indians re- maining in the United States today. The past cannot be undone, but more equitable treature in the future can be assured. A Rebuke For Harvard (Philadelphia Record) President Lowell of Harvard has just poured some old wine in a new bottle, which he holds up to the light for the particular instruction and edification of undergraduates and alumni. There has been a project afoot for some time to raise at Cambridge a suitable memorial to thé Harvard men who lost their lives in the world war. More than $700,000 has been sub- scribed for this purpose, and it has been gen- erally understood that the memorial was to take the form of an imposing church edifice within the ‘historic Harvard yard. Of late, however, voices have been raised in opposition to this plan, and the controversy has so grown that President Lowell seems finally to have decided it was time for him to take'a hand. He has done so in the form of a letter to the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, and he makes it the occasion to say some things which the men of Harvard, have not been in the habit of hearing from him. Dr. Lowe'l has seldom, if ever, been given to sermonizing, but he does just that in this letter. He is not pleased with the morals of college students, in- cluding even those immediately under his eye, not “that the morals of our students have been positively low—far from it—but they have Washington, Feb. 6.—The Meth- form a bloc to contro! whereas at least four denominations the would have to combine to form a majority in the House.

Their problem is a much more dif- ficult one. In the first place, we must realize that some, are born with a “ten- dency” to a slender body, while others are inclined to be stout. That is, we are born with a leaning to one of several types. This inclina- tion cannot be changed to any great stent in one lifetime. One will usually observe a resemblance to one of the parents or grandparents with similar physical and mental characteristics. If it is advanta- geous or de bh. to change this “in- clination” tw possible to do ‘so to some slight extent, but no great modification can be expected, such as to displace the tendegcy to be lean with a disposition to be fat. As a race horse is born and not made, and differs in many respects from the plow horse, even do we humans come into the world accord- ing to various types. The race horse is always lean, and becomes useless and short lived if an at- tempt is made to put weight on him and turn him into a plow horse. The plow horse is “naturally” heavy, and, whereas his best ef- ficiency may be obtained if not al- lowed to grow too fat, his gen- eral contour and disposition are sich that we can never make a lean, fast, race horse of him. If you are naturally thin, you may, by diligent training, develop a beautiful, graceful. body of a race horse type, with a keen mind, and built for a long life with plenty of mental and physical alertness; but d not make the mistake of ever expecting to grow “large and bulky.” If it were possible to do this the results would be very dis- it are only courting disease and ill When I am asked the question: swer, “I do not know. I do know that you can beccme healthy if you are willing to live a healthful life, with healthful habits, but I will give you no advice designed pri- marily to make you gain weight.” Of course, if you are actually “skinny” and have an emaciated and gaunt body, you can always develop your bod.’ up to a certain perfec- tion of grace and comelines., which will give you a beautiful form, of slender tyne.

L. G. writes: “In one of your articles has say that certain exercises will straighten one’s back, no matter how crooked. T have had a lateral curvature for thirty years. Am thirty-three now. My spine is crooked, left hip being larger, and right ribs protruding. Is there anything I can do to cor- rect this, and if so how long would take?” Answer: You must have misun- derstood the article where you thought I said thet certain exer- cises would straighten any kind of a crooked back. If there is not com- plete ankylosis, a curved spine can certainly be straightened to some extent through developing the mus- cles which should hold it in position, but a complete cure is not always possible due to the bony changes which hold the spine eut of its nor- mal position. The exercises you should take are those where all of the back muscles are used, with special attention being given to those exercises which will develop the parts of your spine where the muscles have degenerated by not being used. A competent physical cnlture instructor will be able to show you these corrective exercises which you can do in your own home, her duties for the baby, whisked her off for a brisk walk in the stingingly cold air, came bac?- almost dancing with exuberance and looking as beautiful and carefree as if she had tke suffered a heartache in her ite. “Going to nave fun, Faith, old dear!” she sang ecstatically. “Go- ing to have heaps of fun!
