But the child loved the gaudily paint- ed little tents wherein played wonders of the earth and s lovéd the stands where taffy was sold, and red lemonade; loved the hoarse shouting of the man who sold won- derful trinkets for ridiculously low prices. The older people liked them, too, though they didn’t talk of them much. An® among these, standing prob- ably in a “buggy”, with open boxes at was an especially striking with a striking person- package recol- fair, but far were d his side, looking man ality. Perhaps he sold a containing one halr comb, one collar one ‘“guaranteed” ring, one paper of pins and one fountain pen all for the sn:all price of a quarter of a dollar. If the sales come slowly perhaps the vendor will cry “I make no promises—but watch what I give the buyers.” The people would buy. The vendor would give the package, would return the purchaser's quarter and hand him an additional quarter.

Their friends, or even acquaintances should tell these opportunities the trouble to write to chance them of and should take the War Department for them. “Vocational training” sounds rath- er appalling, and probably many a soldier has passed the thought by without serious consideration. Many may think it is something lmprat}o able or something which will not them any especial good. They should be shown otherwise. And there are many of these dis- abled men whose minds have not re- covered their normal energy and who have not taken the trouble to look the matter up.

Let every Boy Scout tell about it. For the Boy Scouts from this coun- try have been given first place in the biggest of all the scouting contests being held in London. Boy Scouts from thirty other countries competed, and the voting for the winner tras done by the people who witnessed the exhibition Included in this contest were fire fighting, ambulance work, first aid, treatment for injuries received in train collision, areoplane accidents, shipwrecks, floods, earthquakes, run- away horses.

Rome, Aug. 12 (By The Assocated Press).—Acknowledgment by France of the government of General Wran- gel n’ South Russia is the subject to- day of heated comment in the Italian newspapers. The Mesazgero says: “France places herself in opposi- tion—we will not yvet say at war— with Bolshevik Russia.’ The newspaper adds that Great Britain and Italy favor economic and political peace with Russia and that the attitude of France breaks the ac- cord of the Allles on the Ruessian problem and makes the -mm ‘worse, “JEST RUMINATIN".” (Robert Russell.)
