The measure of the camper can be taken by the size and usefulness of Iris kit. There are lottst of little knacks learned only by experience and- no boy need feed backward in asking ques- tions of his eddies's. Careful considera- tion beforehand mains comfort latex. 'Phe writer knows of one Scout officer who, when planning to go camping, starts several days before to make a list of -vvrhat he ordris troop wild require, jotting down eacht item .as he thinks of It, whether at home or on the street. The list is checked -when leaching, and as a result the eamp is not handicap- ped by the leek of a necessary article which might be easily forgotte.ri nutter ordinary eircumsteences,, Every boy likes to know what other boys are doing. 131g camps allow dif- ferent boys and different troop e in a wide area to compare training and tef- ficiency and this to furffisrb ideas: Shah camps, however, -have a large numberof disadvantages also. Some troops get• the same benefits in. other wane. We notice with great interest that the 37th Ottawa Troop spent a'. weekend with tire. Brockville Soottts, the journey breing made by motor. The progradme Consisted of friendly rival- ry in games., e camp fire Saturday and a Sunday mronning service. One thing , they did not forget Jana that was tp take ith.eiir committeemen along -also. The Scouts in the southern counties of England are using this method to great advantage. Last year at Easter time the Kentish Scouts visited Hol- land, and this year they tried Den- mark, ancl'while these they met seine of their Dutch friends of the former year who were „trying the same kind of outing. 'Other British Scouts have traversed parts of Prance -with theil trek carts. Preparedness is the Scout great motto. Particularly is this true in the woods. One of the Fort Williani Scoutmasters is offering a prize to the Scout of tlia,t cldstrict who'first demon- strates the lighting of a fire by a fire machine of his own Making. -Methods arefaloing the line of the Gall - weld ,Training, and tend to bring boys cinite into touch With real Scouting. The Brantford Association has gone on record against the use of bad lang- Nage on the city playgrounds. Players are like hieroes to their younger friends and their example in language •is copied far more readily 'than their other actions.. New Brunswick in ender to preserve her great foreoto from the fire. men- ace, has this- year decided that all panties entering the woods, must have a permit. The authorities though, • hiave exempted the officers and mem- bers of the Boy Scout Association from this rule. It is to be regretted that even these restrictions have not sufficed, ats this simmer the north 'of the province has suffered to a, enor- mous extent. Chatham Rotary and Lion's Club are arranging for a free summer•camp for boys who have attended 70% ot the year's meetings of the Troops in which their clubs are interested. • •No Scout ,should miss summer -camp. If It is not Poissible for, his patrol or troop to have -one sO'Ine other trooP in his community wouId, be only too glad to take him along. • - ' Naming the Flowers. Many charining legends have helped to christen flowers,. Narcissus was a 'beautiful youth be- loved by the nymph Echo. But as.he Was incapable of love, Echo died from grief. In order to punish him -the god- dess Nemesis caused him to see his Image reflected in a fountain. No-rots- /sus- fell in have with his own shadow and slowly pined away until he was changed into the forpirof a flower. • . The hyacinth sprang from the blood of another handsome youth, Hyacin- thus;the son of -a Spartan king, While .-- he Was playing at quoits the god Zep- hyrus, in a fit of jealousy, Caused a quoit to strike his head, killing him in- stantly. , Iris means "a ralnbow."

SnOWd.TOp bluebeil and honeysuckle , are names that e.xplain ,themselves. The dalaris the "day's eye," but the fcacgloye is really the "fait's glove." The origin of tulip is in the Turkish form of "turban," a name prompted by the 'resemblance between the flower and the head-dress.

In considering this prob- lem the most advisable way is in all Ithe standpoint "Is it worth while?" probability rtG look at the subject from . Those who know, think that' it is worth while; and they have facts and figures to back up their beliefs. In 'the first place, this, Dominion, and even the Province of Ontario, needs more settlers of the right kind. Now there are two kinds of settlers that increase our population—those that come 1.0 OUT shores as immigrants.' and those that are born here --our own children, • A -record of efficiency tests was made in the'United States during the war to test the physicalandmen- tal efficiancy of draf la of recruits re- quired for war service. A comparison of the mental capacity of • these re- cruits was made -with similar., recruits from Canada, and it was found that the Canadians were superior in intel- ligence to even the white records of the United States army. What is the reason for this? One reason is that in, the United States there is a heavy influx every year of inimigrants 1.rom South Eastern Europe and other parts of the earth. There is also a large negro population, native born, but this latter group need not be considered here, for their mentality ranks far be- low that of the whites.To be specific, the mean mental age of the negro drafts in the United States army was 10.37 years. • That means that the in- telligence of the average negro soldier is that of a boy a little over ten years of age and a little less than an aver- age boy of eleven years. On the other hand, the mean -mental age pf the white drafts in -the United States army was 13.08 years and 'that of Canada 13.29 years. Now, a comparison of -these figures with the actual age of the boy him- self would seem to indicate that after a certain age, the average youth ceases to learn anything that would qualify him as being called intelligent; Either that or his rate of mental pro- gress during his early years is so slow that at puberty, that is when he grows 4kr,‘,rtai,xvonng manhood, he has no more *tdri sense than a boy of 13 years. There is something wrong here. If your coentry is going to be great, if it is going to take its place among the leading nations of the world a high standard of mentality should be aimed at. -The fact that Canadian recruils show superior intelligence to those of the United States might be, due in some degree to the fact that a large percentage of the immigrants who come here are of British stock and consequently of a higher mentality standard due in part to heredity, en- viromnent and the system of universal education which prevails in the old country at the present time. No figures are available at the mo- ment to compare the intelligence of th,e average native-born Canadian boy or girl with those of their. race and kin across the seas, but it is safe to sky that Canada would hold her own in any fair test of ,this kind. It be- hooves us therefore as Canadians interested in the welfare of our coun- try; interested in every condition that will tend towards producing a heal- thier and more intelligent race of people, to do all in our power to re- duce infant mortality in Canada and to have f acilities,for the proper feed- ing and upbringing of the rising gen- eration so that this countrycan point with pride to the physical and mental status of its native -horn population and feel assured that in health, men- tality, physical fitness and m social conduct, Canada can proudly take her place as one of the foremost countries as regards efficiency and progress among the nations of the earth. To reach this ideal, much work is yet necessary, and when we know that the prevailing rate of infant mortality in Ontario at the present tirne is; roughly speaking, one hundred per thousand, which 'means ' that one child out of every ten born, dies before, reaching twelve months of age, we have some idea of the problem confronting us.

The woman at home, clean in hpuse- hold duties and the care of mother- hood, needs occasitonaa help to keep her in good health. The demands up- on a mother's health are many and severe. Her own health trials and her children's wielfare exact heavy tolls, while hlagied meals, broken rest and much indoor living tend to weaken her cou.stlitution. No wonder that the wo- man at home is often indisposed. through -weakness, headaches, back- aches and nervousness. Too many women have grown to acce.pt these visitations as a part of the lot of motherhood But many and varied as her health troubles are, the cause is, simple and relief at hand. When well, It is . thewoman's good blood that keeps her well; when ill sheemust make her blood rich to renew her health. The nursing mother more than any other woman in the. world needs rich blood and plenty of it. There is one way to get this b.lood so n.vessazy to perfect health, and that is through the use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. W. T. Riley, R.R. No. 1, Apple Hill, Ont., has proved the great value of Dr. Williena-s" Pink Pills to mothers, and tells her story as fol- lows;—"Two years ago, after the birth of my boy, I became very weak and run down, Gradually I last weight and energy until I was unable to do iny housework. I could not .sleep, my nerves would twitch and jump so that I arose in the morning with' heavy aching- limbs and -head. Indigestion helped to make the misery worse, and my heart would palpitate terribly. I doctoned steadily for a year without getting better, but just draggled along feeling that I would never be well again. But one lucky day, on the ad- vice of a friend, 1 began treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I „have taken only six' poxes, but I V4 -1811T you could see the difference. I am now able - to do my work, go about and enjoy myself. I feel so entirely like a new woman, that I advise every vegak or ailing woman to try Dr. Williams' Pink Plies and I know they will get bene - finial results." • If you are ailing, easily tired or de- . pressed, it is a duty YOU Owe yourself and your family to glare Dr. Willi,arns' Pink PilIs a fair trial.

Then, perhaps, you: will tell me how many times I brush your back with this clothes, brush." No matter how observing, he is. he will be wrong. The chances are that the laughs of those who are looking on will acquaint him with the fact that there is "a trick about the trick," before you have brushed his back more than once or twice. The fact Is that you do not brush his back with a clothes brush at all. While you appeared to be doing this, you were brush- ing his back with your hand while you were brusing the front of your own coat with the brush. If you will try this you will discover that it is impossible to tell, when the strokes of the hand, and the strokes of the brush are simul- taneous, whether the brush or the hand touches the back.

The new white metal, which, it is stated, can be pro- duced at a pries 'within everybody's eeelaw, hes good casting qualities and is both malleable and ductile' While not entirely unaffected by the atmosphere, the alloy -should lessen the work of the housewife when em - alloyed ea cutlery, and it may have im- portant uses in engineering.
