An Important feature la that o f re
quiring the payment o f a wage lo the
prisoner. Such a wage will make It
(MiMHlhlr for the prisoner to contribute
to the N tipport o f hla dependent* and
at the Name time will prevent unfair
competition with free laleir. The pan
nage o f the hill will give Impetus to
the movement for the employment of
pr I »oners In road work and In other
o c c u p a t io n s affected by the national
emergency.
Kver since the United Ktatea entered
the war the demand for utilizing the
prison Inhor supply confined In the
penal nnd correctional ln»tltutlons of
the country has steadily Increased. Re
ports made to the natlonul committee
on prisons nnd prison labor show thnt
I he demand for this labor comes from
practically every organization which
has as Its purpose some work related
to the prosecution of the war. Na
tlonul nnd state food, fuel, freight,
farm and fish commissions are seek
ing prison labor. State and county
commissions are meeting to discuss
the problem.
Many o f the proposal* made will not
be realized until the passage In con
gress o f the prison labor bill Intro
duced by Senator Hoke Smith of Geor
gia and Representative Charles V.
liooher o f Missouri. This bill has been
Introduced through the efTorts o f the
national committee on prisons and
prison labor and the American Federa
tion o f Labor to promote the use of
prison labor In the war emergency and
also to prevent exploitation of the pris
oner.

The imultry grower should not de
pend too much on table scraps for
feeding his poultry, (Milnts out Mr. Bur-

Enough feed should he given to
keep the birds In good condition nnd
sufficient excess to produce eggs. The
hens will
eat vegetable peelings
and fruit scrap* If these are put
through the food chopper and mixed
with n little mash. A good mash con

Plenty of green feed n I io ii I i I be used.
This cuts down the nmount of grain
necessary.
It Is desirable to feed to
the poultry the green weeds nnd thin
nings front the garden, also the mis
shapen and wormy vegetables, nnd
tough corn, unlit for human consump
tion.
Optical Glass Playing a Big
Part in the World Conflict
— Needed by All Departments
That every field o f military endeav

glass is the statement recently mads
by Prof. Edward W. Washburn o f the
department o f ceramic engineering at
the University o f Illinois.
“The war could not be conducted
without optical glass," said Profeasor
Washburn. “Telescopes, binoculars, o f

poses, X-ray bulbs and microscopic
lenses fo r tbs medical nnd sanitary
corps and many other necessary 1m-
plamenta o f a modern army would he
struck out If It were not for the cera
mic Industry," explained the lecturer.
"Previous to the war,” Professor
Washburn said, "Germany manufac
tured 100 different kinds of optical
glass, an assortment which supplied
Many n worthless man has a

SCOUTING
REALLY
IS
Scouting Is the process o f making
real men out o f real boys, by a real
program which works.
Scouting is a happy, wholesome,
worthwhile, outdoor school.
Scouting is a huge, splendidly or
ganized game, a progressive game. It
gets somewhere.
Scouting Is more than a game. It
teaches signaling and first aid and
fire fighting and outdoor cookery and
a host o f other useful and Important
things. It teaches also self-reliance
and helpfulness, courage and courtesy,
loyalty and reverence, patriotism and
honor.
Scouting Is nonsectarian, though Its
Ideals are In accord with those o f the
modern church and It is based upon a
pledged allegiance to the service o f
God, the brotherhood of man.
Scouting la not organized for war
service, not yet exclusively fo r peace
service. It Is organized for service, all
service, any service, high or humble,
big or little— Just service.
Scouting Inculcates a patriotism
which holds Itself ready to serve coun
try In whatever form the need and the
call may come. Preparedness is the
scout platform.
Scouting Is democratic. It alms not
to iun every boy Into one groove, but
to help each to develop into the fullest
manhood o f which he Is capable.
Scouting also knows no bounds of
class, or creed or race. It speaks the
universal language o f world boyhood.
The end and aim o f scouting Is good
citizenship, to make men “ physically
strong,
mentally
awake,
morally
straight.”
SCO U T8 L A R G E ST W O R LD
BO D Y .
Do people generally know that the
Boy Scouts o f America Is the greatest
single volunteer organization In the
world? It was the largest organization
taking part In the two campaigns fo r
the Liberty loan. There are millions
of scouts all over the world. In every
country.
Since America went to war the
things that have happened to the Boy
Scouts o f America and the part that
boy scouts all over the globe have
been called upon to play In pressing
forward the activities that will win
this war hav* made an epoch in the
boy life o f this land and of the world.
W ar conditions demand an Increase
In numbers and efficiency.
There
shonld be 2.000,000 Boy Scouts of
America in the country.. There would
be that number If men who may not go
to the front would undertake at home
this work o f practical patriotism. The
boys who are not yet scouts are Just
as anxious to serve the nation as the
boy scouts who are.
The president o f the United States
has given scouting a definite place in
the national affairs.

What to do with the orphans of the
slain soldiers was one o f the biggest
problems Serbia faced after being
practically vanquished. A fter the bom
bardment o f Monastlr there were thou
sands o f the lads practically waifs.
Prince Alexander, regent of Serbia,
took the little fellows In charge and
formed them Into companies o f boy
scouts.
He won the love o f the little fellows,
and nothing pleases them more than
to form for review before the prince.
And he is as keenly Interested as they,
always commending the youngsters on
their progress, and at each review giv
ing them some new pointer to advance
them In scout lore.
