This week I want to talk to you about a subject which every I/one Scout probably knows a great deal about Trees. In the district 1.1 which you live there may ho a great number of trees of various sorts to make the land- scape beautiful aud to delight the eye of all wh-> pass by. Unfortunately, however. In yi-ars IGIIO > 7. when men had gr< ater hard- ships to laci. than we have today, tha trees wore frr(iu ntly sacrificed by the tld ' ioiu-.-r.s with a total dis- regard f: !!i dam. ue that they wi-ro doing to Ilielr prop, rty and to tho fdvi.ir- beauty i ' the countryside All t ! a'-out was the fact Ired inni'it- to build .1 aii-i 1: irns, that the .and i r cultivation and that f.-M-es r-i-i ' rei ted The Ci ;:-; Is 1 ' :i'. now. fls we jouni' y through our province, wo frequently <-..:ii-< Hcrost places i an ; i ' ."ally d'-vold of trees, and wh! !> c"n-.fij,:pntiy are most de ;< - i.i loi k upcri .- all, re not liv-es m-i of man .-> '.fit fri'M'is'.'

SGOUIS WITH THE HONE trees Utemsolves ar large enough to turn Into lumber, and so prove a profitable investment on land that otherwise would be a dead loss. Have you many trees around your home. If not, do you know that the Ontario Government will give you trees for nothing or for a very little cost, so that you can easily siart your own plantation? Write to Headquarters for details of this. Do you know that every year at the week end of the 24th May a ramp is held at the Government Forestry Station at Angus. Ontario, where about 200 Boy Scnuts are the guests of the Government, and are shown all abO'it the research work in For- estry which the Government Is do- inn? These boys help to plant a few trees, and are given some to take home wjth them and tlioy learn a i! real deal about this subject. The camp costs them nothing at all, excepting the cost of their tr.in-.portatlon tu and from Angus, and you too can be oue rif that num- ber if you wish. If you would like to attend this camp, wrltn to your Scout master and obtain fuller parti- culars.

It is our duty to let ourselves be slain, but not ourselves to slay." The Idealist frequently fails be- cause he dois not see clearly in what manner and degree his Ideals can ha applied to some immediate Nttuatlon. Gandhi has, at Mines, found himself confronted by a grim and dre-adful Frankenstein of his owu creation, whose operations he had no power to control and from whose outrages his whole being rose up in protest. But ideas once uttered are- not defeated even by their mistaken devotees. The work of a go-xl man accomplishes Itself In many ways. The Soul-1'ower liberated wins Us greatest victories beyond legisla- tures, battliyllolds and law-courts. | In this fateful year of India's his- tory It Is well to recall that Gandhi lias so profound a respect for the Urltish character. "The English- man." he write*. "never respects you unless you stand up to him. lie Is afralj of nothing except Ills own conscience. He does not like to be re-biiked for wrongdoing, at flrst. but he will think over It and it will get hold of him and hurt him till he does something to put it right." One wonders whether Gandhi has yet discovered that the principle of non-violence is too Idealistic for the masses of India. In hU very pres- ence his own d->vol.v] followers have risen tip to massacre and destroy. Following the ho.-rors at Chauri Chaura Ciumllil Issued a proclamation acknowledging that this was the third warning h had received from God that til* time had not yet come for his Ideals to be put Into practice.

Auto Salesmen Attend School Twice Weekly Trans-Atlantic Dirigible Service Foretold Detroit A trans-Atlantic dirigible line giving twlce-a-week service from the Chesapeake Bay district to the vicinity of Frankfort, Germany, was forecast by J.

At tho ago of ii!ii..'i-en he nailed for Kngland to study law und was derlan-d a barris- ter In June. 1891. It was after his return to India that the call camn to defend some of hlg fellow countrymen domiciled in South Africa. Candhi remained in r that country for twenty years. Too ' much stress cannot bo laid in trac- ing his development to the years np<'iit in Hniilh Africa. Ho found himself anil the ruling principles of his work thoro. When he return- c*d to India it wax only to apply and develop the laws of life which be- 1 came luminous to him during the' years hu spent as the champion of! ."I'cast (lasses In that southern land. .

Ap- petites and passions art to be held In Icy restraint. Tho oxang.-ra- tlon of thm irinclple In the teaching; of Gandhi has left him open to the criticism that so greatly docs he dread the sex Instinct, racial suicide, vumld bo d.-sirahle to him. (d) The vow of Sivadiishl. All should buy In the nean-nt market. This application of his Ideals led to tin) boycotting of foreign goods, which might have occurred had thero In-. -n no i)lillcal unrest. It would certainly make a general comme'-clal Intercourse impossible. (e) The vow of Fearlessness. Foar prevents us from following truth, and is opiHised to faith in G<xl. (f) The vow regarding Untouch- ables. There, are sixty million peo- ple In India whose touch means pol- lution, whoso shadow is a defilement. Agaln.it this hideous result of the casto system ibis high-caste Ilrah- man has struggle*! for years. Gandhi himself lives from timo to time with thnso depressed people and on- tertalus their representatives in his home. Ho has not declared himself against the casto system but ho has Inspired his followers lo oppo.se this social crime of tho t'liloni hables with all their power. (g) Tho vow of Khaddar. Kvery oiin .ihould work with his own hands. Gandhi would have tho old ; pinning- wheel introduced to the homes of India. Ho Is afraid of the modern machine., and of factories with their high-potViM'iMl looms. He would stem thij economic lido which i.s slowly Hooding and enriching India. This vow of Khaddar Is tho utter- ance df an Impractical mystic and has not merely brought him into tin- nucessary conflict with the govern- ment of India, but threatens also to retard the progress of his own peo- ple towards rcono'nlc ami Industrial freedom. It should be added that as a I. MM porary palliative It is good to have the spinning-wheel In (he home dur- ing (he days of poverty which he- shadow the families of India.

Kng. The famous ir race for tha Schneider trophy will lie flown this year over a new course. Instead of four-sided as it was for the race In 1U29, the new course will be triangular and u little to the east of the old route, in order to leave the Solent channel open to Southampton shipping. The distance flown will be the same as before. The machines will start and finish at Ryde Pier and a turn will be made near Wittering to the ast of rhlchester harbor. At this point the course turns sharply to the west and then stretches straight past Hnyling Island. Soiiho-as, Gllklcker Point aud Stokes Ray. and so to the next turn off the l?le of Wight at a point to the north-east of East Oowos. The first leg if the triangle Is seven and three-quarter: miles, the second leg c.isht and quarter miles, and the third, fourti-in and a half miles. The turns will lia fewer but sharp- er this year. Cornering will be difficult and of great importance while the control of the seaplanes In the air will have a still greater slgnl- licance than iu pa.->t races. A splen- did and better opportunity Is offered iu this year's race for high speed along the third leg of the triangle which rum parallel to the mainland for fourteen and a half miles. The now cour.te, Iroiu a .-p-'i tut- ors' point of vle-v, is better than the old. The progress o* the machines in the 1929 raco could only be view- ed, for til-? mo>t par', through field glusseti unless poopln were fortunate enough to obtain a point of vantage In one of (ha warships or y.iclits in the harbor. This year there will be a clear view vlsiblo from tha mainland for about fifteen milivs of the course. It Is thought that part of the new course will bo dangerous In tho event of a forced landing, since the ma- chines will fly over c-lght or ten miles of unsheltered water. In any event. Hie race which will bo flown on September 12 offers more thrills this year thnn ever before. The Magic Word '^s went to tho gnrai; to see if tlioy h.id succeeded In gettlnR hi* far J lo wiuk.

Frr-'-n In !'-!5! k i; Zeppelin May Fly to Arctic Regions Doctor Eckener Eager to Test Dirigible in Exploration Uerliu Negotiations wh'.ch hav been cairied on here recen'ly be- tween Dr. Hugo Eckener and vari- ous Intonated persons on a possibl* Zeppelin North Pole flight make th flight seem more likely than at any time heretofore, the Grafs veteran commander intimated. "Our great and only difficult! throughout." lie said, "has been th question of financing the polar flight, but I am quite hopeful that this dif- ficulty will be overcome. One rea- son why I am very eager to fly thli year is because I would like to meet my friend Wilkina somewhere la the Arctic wastes. "There is a deep scientific purpose behind my desire to discover Wilkin and his submarine Nautilus. The Zeppelin, as a:i Instrument of Arctia exploration, will prove most effec- tive if It i an carry an expedition to whatever Arctic region it Is desired to explore, deposit the members of the expedition there, and later call for them again. Looking for and discovering Wi'.kinVs expedition will serve as a practical t"st of the effic- acy of tln> di-if Xenpelln In the polar region*. So far as the Zeppelin's sc:o'itillo personnel is concerned, we do not in- tend to land anybody, but, by re- muinius in tha air six days after leaving u Northernmost mooring point, such as Haparauda or Len- ingrad, we hope to have ample op- portunity for scientific observations and extensive photography of the region o\er which we fly." .; Falhsr's Golden Harvest The school Inspector was testing little Tommys general knowledge powers. "Now, then, my lad," he said, "tell me which is the harvest season?" "From November to March." Tom- my promptly replied. "Come, come," said the inspector, "I'm surprised that you should name such barren months. NVho told you they wore the harvest season?" "My dad." snld the boy. "He's a plumber." .. More Haste.
