Only a few weeks ago a prominent Labor Member of Parliament stated. that the Prince of Wales was “just like one of us,” says an Eigli&h writer. Not only is this true of the people of Britain; by reason of his being a ranch-owner, H.R.H. is also “just like one of us” to Britons overseas. In days gone by, those who had “blue” blood In their veins prided themselves on their inaccessibility. But and and and sports and pastimes. They also know a good deal about the busdness side of life. A huge number of people have chat­ ted to, and shaken hands with, the After his successes on Rich, Red Blood Means Health and Strength. On the Horns of a Dilemma. “What are we going to do about it, Bill! It looks as if our camp this year will be right off. Our Scoutmaster and . the Assistant Scoutmaster have quit the town. The tents and equipment * have been requisitioned and are freighted here charges collect. Who’s to pay—where’s the money—and who will attend to the many details inci- ■ dental to preparing for camp?” Thus the Scouts of Merlin discussed the situation as they found it three weeks before camp was due, with their organization like a ship without a rudder. Anyone who knows anything at all' about camping is aware it is the high future King. ____ ____ spot in a boy’s life and experience; I the hunting-field, the racecourse, and .eagerly planned and lobked for long the polo-ground, the Prince’s holiday months ahead. A Scout smiles and whistles under all difficulties, but even that is not a solution to every problem. These fel­ lows were on the horns of a dilemma. What did they do? What would you expect of them in the circumstances? “Look here, boys,” said a -well mean­ ing merchant, “I’ll loan you the freightage on the camp outfit and the expenses of getting to camp. You can repay me later.” But this w*as not the Scout way—he doesn’t borrow. They juickly saw that was not the right solution of the difficulty, and with many thanks the offer was turned flown. “I have it,” said Bill, “we’ll earn the wherewithal.” And they did. For two Saturday nights in succession the citizens were amazed to find the boys occupying Main Street corner selling ’‘Hotdogs,” which were kept real hot by an apparatus attached to the Hydro pole. Hot Dogs! Scouty Hot Dogs! was the resounding cry—and they went like a dog with a bee on his tail. Difficulties usually come in a bunch —as the sparks fly upwards, and Bill’s next concern was the food and camp cooking. Oh! I’ll send you along a stove, that’ll be all right,” said a sympathizer. Again a council of war was necessary and again the true Scouty spirit revealed itself in their refusal of the stow mous decision to do the cooking in Scouts’ way, and none other. Now it is rightly regarded by Boy Scouts Association as a very satisfactory arrangement indeed for a camp to exist without an adult leader present of this matter means. Nevertheless^, it is a fact that for a fortnight they camped without any fatherly supervision of a Scoutmaster —all on their own, apart from week­ end visits by friends and adults terested in their welfare, and the casional bringing down of supplies others. The writer made a surprise visit to the camp, and reaching there when the boys were bathing, was able to in­ spect the tents, site, and general ar­ rangements unobseived. It was really amazing. Blankets were neatly folded after sunning, tents well aired and clean, cooking utensils properly clean­ ed, and the whole sate, as •—a credit to Scouting, further feelers', inquiries of neighboring campers opinions of the boys, well, good word—“Why, those boys are fine.

The Prince’s Ranch. It will be remembered that in ust, 1919, the Prince sailed from land for a three months’ tour of Cana- gradually return and the danger of re-. da and the United States. __ . ~ ceiving an enthusiastic welcome from the many large towns he passed through, the Prince made up his mind that he would take a short holiday right off the beaten track. He had two reasons for chosin.g a ranch for this purpose. He wanted to know exactly how the men and women lived who toiled out on the prairies, and, like all other boys, he had de­ lighted in his younger days in reading stirring tales of cowboys’ adventures. The Prince’s choice fell on Bar U Ranch, owned by Mr. George Lane, and situated in the south-east of the province of Alberta, stayed a very’ short time with Lane, but he was so taken with free-and-easy life that he made up mind to have a ranch of his own. it came about that at a farewell din­ ner in Winnipeg he announced to a delighted audience that he had bought Bed'ingfield Ranch. This ranch, which comprises 4,000 acres of prairie, adjoins the land own-1 ed by Mr. Lane, who arranged the pur­ chase. Better known as “E. P. Ranch,” the ground bought by the Prince lies near the middle fork of the Highwood River. The nearest market-place is ■ Calgary, with its 50,000 population. . This town has grown up in only twen­ ty years. Red Indians as Neighbors. Nestling in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the E. P. Ranch is I in an ideal position for the rearing of i prize cattle. It would also make a ■ good setting for an adventure story, ■ because, at no great distance from \ Bedingfield, is the chief village of the Stony Creek Indians. This tribe honored the Prince, when he visited them, by making him their chief under the name of Chief Morn­ ing Star. For the ceremony the King’s eldest son had to dress up in full war paint, and take part in a long and serious investiture, which incorpor­ ated all the tribal rites and customs. During this' week the Prince will leave for his second trip to Canada,' which he is undertaking solely for the 1 stake of passing an enjoyable month on his own ranch. Travelling as the Duke of Cornwall, he will sail to Que­ bec on board an ordinary ocean liner, and, during his stay in British North America, he will not take part in more than one or two public functions. It is to be a complete “rest,” and all Bri­ tishers agree that he deserves it. It is certain that all the ex-soldiers who are employed on the E. P. Ranch, and W. L. Carlyle, the manager, w’ili be delighted to have the Prince with them. Once again Mr. Lane of Bar U will act as host to H.R.H., but Mr. Lane’s task will not be difficult, as the Prince has insisted upon sleeping either in a log cabin or a tent His days will be fully occupied in roaming and acres of grassland, and his workers to perform the varied duties which keep “at it” from sun-up to sun-down. ---------- ----------— The Car’s Baby.

Finding the Weight of Fish by Measuring Them. In a camp where there are no scales at hand to weigh the prize some one is sure to catch a big fish. Here is a simple formula for determining the wreight of a fish from its length and its greatest girth in inches: Square the girth in inches; multiply the re­ sult by the length in inches and divide the product by 800. For large sea fish, like the tarpon, that are symmetrical in form the rule gives a close approximation to the exact weight, and indeed for symmet­ rical fish of any kind the formula is accurate enough to be useful. The fol­ lowing examples of its accuracy are taken from the records of fish entered in the fishing contests of a sporting magazine: A striped bass that took a first prize was 49% inches long and 28 inches in greatest girth. The weight as found by the formula was 48% pounds; by scales it was 48 pounds. A trout that took a first prize was 24 inches long and 14% inches in girth. It was reported as weighing 7 pounds; the formula gives 6% pounds. In the rainbow trout class a first prize wrent to a fish that actually weighted 13% pounds and that was 33 inches in length and 18 inches in The formula gives a pounds and 6 ounces. Even in the case of small fish that are symmetrical the formula gives fairly accurate results'. For example, a brook trout that was 15% inches in length and 11 inches in girth weighed 2% pounds. The form­ ula gives a weight of 2 pounds and 6 ounces. greatest girth, weight of 13 comparatively are incessantly worried about some-' mind, and harmonious relations with thing or other, if we harbor a grouch those with whom we come in contact. CHOLERA INFANTUM Cholera infantum is one of the fatal ailments of childhood. It is a trouble that comes on suddenly, especially during the summer months, and unless prompt action is taken the little one may soon be beyond aid. Baby’s Own Tablets are an ideal medicine in ward­ ing off this trouble. They regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus prevent all the dreaded summer complaints. They are an absolutely safe medicine, being guaranteed by a government analyist to contain no opiates or narcotics or other harmful drugs. They cannot possibly do harm —they always do good.

The music club can absolutely fix and maintain the standard of musical appreciation of its community. It can make a music loving community out of an indifferent or really antagonistic atmosphere. The pioneer work of a music club is directly responsible for most of the visits of prominent artists to the cities, while indirectly the musi­ cal progress of the community, can be invariably traced to the unselfish work accomplished by the club’s agency. But after all a real musical Canada depends upon the musical education of our boys and girls while they are I in the public schools. And we have never yet had the proper recognition given to music by all our public schools, in fact, J very few of (hem ' have even approximated it. The music club can render a very definite service in its community by securing, through enlightened public opinion, the proper recognition of music in the school curriculum. It can encourage the establishment of music apprecia­ tion classes, classes for the study of applied- instrumental music, and of public school orchestras which will ultimately provide the material for the ' symphony orchestras, and will un­ doubtedly make for the greater appre­ ciation of music as played , visiting orchestras which come larger musical centres. --------------&-------------- Our bodies are constantly chang­ ing, our nails grow, our hair grows.

Put a half dol­ lar on the top of the hat. The problem is to knock the hat away so that the half dollar will fall into the goblet. There are two ways in which the trick may be pre­ sented. The first is to tell what is to be done and letting your friends try it. After they have failed, as they will, you can show how easy it is to do it. The better way is to practice the trick until you can do it well. Then do the stunt, relying upon your skill to hide the method by which the result is accomplished. Pretend to strike the hat two or three times as if you were gauging the amount of force needed and the exact direction of the blow. When you strike, however, do not strike the outside of the hat. Strike in­ side, as near the brim as possible. If you do it that way, the coin will fall into the glass. A little clever acting will persuade your friends that you struck where you pretend­ ed you were going to strike—on the outside of the hat. Try it.
