Are Scouts Honest in School? Did you read the article in the February issue of Good Housekeeping, "Shall We Teach Religion in School?" The article was extensively reviewed in a later issue of the Literary Digest. The gist of the aijtiels was that school children are prone to petty dishones- ties,'not only in school work but out-. side_ of school. In the tests made, groups of Boy Scouts showed the high- est scores for honesty. Tell your •troop about this. Tell them about the. "Campaign for Honor and Honesty" Just now being tried out in a number of big High Schools. This campaign is the result of a long period of experimenting to dis- cover the best methods or moral train- ing for high school students. It is directed against cheating in school Work, stealing, cutting, classes, and playing truant. A long tabulation of reasons tor such immoralities is given. "Fear" is a large factor in the reasons for cheating, Envy, idleness and too little thought about beteg honorable are mentioneia Here comes in Scout Laws 8, 9 and 1. Cutting classes and truancy are put down to laziness, care- less moral standards, temptation to have a good time, Scout Laws 2, 7 and 8 come into play here. This as a good topic for troop meet- ing. Straight, frank,back and forth talk with the troop. Wbat about petty dishonesties in school and out? Per- sonal honesty is fundamental to good character and to good citizenship— and to good Scouting. If public: school authorities are concerned about the extent of dishonesty among school pupils, now is the time for the Boy Scout Code of Conduct to prove' itself, end perhaps obtain recognition throughout the public school world as the answer to the problem, "What is the best method of moral' training for high school students?" Over 50,000 Scouts. In Canada Now, During 1923 the Boy Scouts Associa- tion membership in Canada passed the 60,000 mark and went right on up to 61,204. This includes all Boy Scouts, Wolf' Cubs and Boy Scout and Wolf Cub officers in the Dominion and re- presents a healthy increase over the year before. The membership is ac- tual as at a given date—it does not in- elude the number of different boys who were connected with Scouting for only short periods during the year. The Dominion Medal Board's report for the year shows the awarding of 29 medals_ for gallantry and notable ser- vice, including 2 bronze Crosses and 1 Cornwell Scout badge.

Suddenly the 'little count spoke up, saying: "There are never anygood horse races here. "I'm going to see ,once flue ones, and you're not" "HOW le that?" demanded the youth- ful king.

Sarcasm is a very poor substitute for argument. EASY TRICKS A Parlor Illusion A trick, very popular with stage magicians, may be performed in any parlor and has the appearance of being a far more elaborate trick than most amateur tricksters at- tempt. Three pieces of tissue paper, red, white awl blue are shown. The sleeves are rolled up and the hands are seen to . be empty except for the paper. The papers are set on fire and while they are burning the trickster crushes them *in his hands, extinguishing the flames. He rubs his hands together and produces from the ashes of the papers a small silk American flag. The trick requires a little care to avoid' burning the fingers, Most magicians let the papers—each Is a little bigger than a cigarette pa- per—burn until only a very small bit remains unburned. Tben there is itttie.danger. The flag is prepared for the trick by being rolled into a very small ball. This is pushed into one end of a box of safety matcbes. The box is put within easy reach but placed so that the spectators can- not see the end in which the flag is hidden. When the magician takes a match out of the box, ho closes it. That forces the handkerchief into one of his palms. The fact that the same hand holds the papers enables him to keep the hand closed with- out exciting suspielon. • (Olin this out and paste it, with other 07 the series, to a scrapbook.) Toleration.

Industrial hygiene is a term that should be understood by everybody. When we consider the large ,percent- age of the people of this province who are engaged in industry, the health and happiness of these workers 15 'a matter of supreme importance to the individual, the community and the The preservation of the health of workers h1 industry 18 what indus- trial hyp'.ieno essentially means, whether it is in reduring health haz- ards or in improving the Surround- ings and conditions under whirb the work is carried on, Incidentally the Preservation and improvement of the health of the workers brings the same benefits to the members of the work- ers' families and friends, thus increas- ing immeasurably the 'sphere of in= dustrial hygiene activity; Too often the conditions under which men and women work are reflected in their hone conditions and surroundings, and where lack of concern is shown, for the welfare of those engaged m industrial pursuits, there is a corres- ponding lack of interest on the part of the workers in the work they are doing, which is detrimental to both employers and employees, as well as to the quality. and quantity of the geode or manufactured articles pro- duced. Besides, if a lack of interest is manifested in the health and con- ditions under which men and women work, social and political unrest and dissatisfaction become wide -spread, disturbing and dislocating trade .and commerce, and affecting the whole strata of our domestic and national affairs. That there is a great need for in- tensive work to -be done in Ontario in the sphere of Industrial Hygiene is evidenced by industrialreports and by statistics. The time lost through disability is a vary important feature to be reckoned with, it being estimated that approximately 3,800,000 WO)'k:l days per year are lost through die.; ability by 500,000 industrial workers; ir. tins province, To safeguard the health of indus.' trial workers in Ontario is one of the chief functions of the Division of In- dustrial Hygiene, Provincial hoard of Health. To this end the Division has established a bureau of information which will supply all facts andfigures necessary for the work that is to be carried on. To prevent -waste of ,time and the reduplication of oifort, there have been. collected the results of scientific re- search and practical experience gain- ed by highly paid experts in progres- sive plants in other countries, This very valuable information is at the disposal of industrial plants who haste similar health problems, even though on a much smaller scale, to be dealt with. Where certain information is not at hand, literary research work is carried on to gain the information asked for, while m addition, a system of general educational propaganda on Industrial Hygiene is being conducted. A. start has been made in clinical work by the establishment of an in- dustrial clinic for diagnosis, by means of which an investigation is being made as to the prevalence of 'lead poisoning in certain trades in Ontario. A demonstration has recent- ly been carried out in Thorold to de- termine the possibilities of an Indus- trial and Public Health Nurse com- bining her duties so as to make both phases of her work as effective as possible. Altogether the Division of industrial Hygiene is aiming to raise the general standard of health among industrial workers am: thereby do its share towards the great combined work of all Divisions of the Provincial Board of Health, viz., to improve the race and raise the health standards for .all classes of the community, GIRLHOOD DANGERS Can Be Avoided by Keeping the Blood Rich and Pure. The anaemia of young girls may be inherited, or it may be caused'by bad air, unsuitable food, hasty and irre- gular eating, insufficient out -door ex- ercise and not enough rest and sleep. It comes on gradually, beginning with languor, indisposition to exertion and a feeling of fatigue. Later comes pal- pitation of the heart and headaches. In the majority of cases constipation is present, and the complexion takes on a greenish -yellow pallor. The treat- ment is quite easy and simple. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are just the tonic to remedy this wretched state of health. They act directly upon the blood, and as it becomes rich and pure strength and activity returns, the glow of health comes to the cheeks, and soon the trouble will disappear and good health follow. Miss Pearl Parks, R.R. No. 1, Reaboro, Ont., has proved the value of this medicine, and her statement will point the way to health to all other weak girls. She says:—"I was very 111 with anaemia. I could not sleep at night; my appe- tite was poor, my face and lips were very pale and my eyes dull. I got so weak that I could not go upstairs with- out resting. I took dizzy and fainting spells, had no ambition whatever, and did not care to go about. I was in this condition for nearly a year. I bad treatment from two doctors; but did not regain my strength, so my mother, who was very uneasy about me, decided I should try Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills. After using the pills for a while I felt somewhat better, and continued taking them until I had used about a dozen boxes, when I was again well and strong. I can strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the treatment of any suffering from anaemia." You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 60 eta, a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Tree Doom.

Most people have heard of the Whis- pering Gallery which surrounds the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, London. But few living beyond the borders of the BlackCountryof England know that there is a Singing Cave in the grounds of Dudley Castle. The cave does not sing, any more than the fa- mous gilded gallery whispers; but by some accident in its construction, the sounds of voices ring round its cav- ernous walls and become possessed of such sweetness and power as to make the cave a place of enchantment The tomb of the wife of Sulla in the Roman Campagna, will repeat a line of poetry which takes two and a half seconds to utter. In a cave in the Pantheon , t Rome the visitor, by only flapping his coat, can create an echo like the report of a big gun; while in the famous Lean- ing Tower of Pisa the sound of muss• cal notes, either sung er played on an instrument, are so repeated and ampli- fled that it almost seems as though an organ were playing. Tennyson wrote his famous lyric, "The Splendour Falls," alter hearing the famous bugle -echo at Killarney. A bugle blast is echoed and re-echoed from the bills till it sounds as though a hundred bugles were blowing, if the famous Menai Suspension Bridge is taken down, es is possible, to be replaced by something more sub- stantial, not only will a bridge be des- troyed, but also a famous echo. The sound of a hammer is repeated from each supporting crossbeam in the bridge, and finally from the opposite pier 576 feet away.. Keep Minard's Liniment in the house. Overheard in An Orchard.

"Rosser," at first lengthened into "Fitz -Rosser" or "Rosser -son," with subsequent shortening, would give the names Ross and Rosser. In many cases, however, such names as Ross, Rosser and Reesman have developed from as old word "rose,"I I which meant in one part of England a heath or morass and in another a pro- montory, A "rosser" would be one who ,dwelt in such a place. In other cases it is but a variation of the old word for "red," from whieh our mod- ern word "russet" has come, and from which modern French has "rouge" (red). Still another source 1s the old Teutonic word for "horse," which in Anglo-Saxon and ancient German was "bros." la the evolution of modern English the ''o, and the "r" were switched around, In German the "h" was dropped, giving the naw almost obsolete "roes," which, however, was common enough in Germany at the period of family name formation. (The English "palfrey," which is related to the modern German "pferde, " is be- coming obsolete with us). From this source the names Rosser or Roseman would mean "horseman" or "rider" (like the name Ritter). There is also a town named Res in Caen,'Normandy, from which, in some cases, Ross and Rosser have been derived. Say "Bayer Aspirin" INSIST!

The clan furnished several of the high kluge of Ireland in succeeding generation. Don- ald O'Colman was the 161st of these '. and reigned about 758 A.D. His son "Donchadh" (Donogh) became the 163rd high king, The 167th high king was also an O'Colman, being known as "Maolseachlinn Mor" (Malachy the Great). Than there was in Ireland an off shoot of the Brady clan, known as the "Clann Columain," from the given name "Columan" ("little dove"). From this same name, borne of course by an entirely different chief- tain, a spec of the Clan Buchanan in Scotland developed "MacCalman" and "MacColman."
