We all know men who are continually getting themselves hurt, no matter where they are. These fel lows themselves think they are unlucky, whereas they really are careless. It is the purpose of this Company to protect its workmen as far as possible by means of guards over machinery, and safety first measures wherever possible. These guards are comparable to the weapons which a man uses in protectmg himself from wild animals, and are effective only as they are used with the proper amount of knowledge and caution. There is a tendency on the part of any man to be careful when he first comes m contact with anything having an element of danger in it, but there is also, a little late" a tendency for him to become hardened to such dan^"*-’. get his caution.

The Boy Scouts No movement ever secured as quickly a permanent hold upon this country as that which brought into being the Boy Scouts’ organization. And no organiza tion in the country is more worthy of encouragement and support. The record of the organization during the war is notable, and these activities were due chiefly to the fact that the Scouts were prepared to render instant service. When the Nation called, the Boy Scouts were three hundred thousand strong. In the fir-st four Liberty Loan campaigns, acting for the most part as gleaners after the reapers, they sold 1,967,947 bonds, amounting to $276,744,- 650. They sold War Savings Stamps in excess of fifty million dollars. They lo cated 5,200 carloads of standing walnut, and collected more than one hundred carloads of fruit and nut pits. They distributed more than fifty million pieces of Government literature. They con ducted war gardens and war farms thru- out the country. They rendered all sorts of valuable services to the Red Cross, the United War Work Committee, the American Library Association, and va rious other organizations that were help ing the Government. They performed countless individual acts of service to the Government that were not record able under any particular classification. They presented a united front of patri otic zeal in every community, which in itself was of incalculable value to the Nation. What interests us now is the part this splendid organization may play in peace. The purpose of the organization and the / activities of the Boy Scouts are admira- ' ble in every way. It is an honor to any American boy to be a Boy Scout, and every American boy should have it as his ambition to attain membership in the organization as soon as he can. Parents ought to, encourage their boys to join, and should themselves become associate members. Every father who has a son of Boy Scout age should en courage him to join the Scouts, and to become an enthusiastic supporter of Boy Scout principles and practices. The Boy Scout organization simply takes the vast reservoir of boy power, so often turned to mischievous ends, and diverts it into channels where it is of tremendous bene fit to the boy and to the rest of us. If your boy is not a Boy Scout, and is qualified to be one, get him into the now familiar khaki as soon as you can. It will be good for both him and you.—The Valve World.
