As he grows older lie learns that his own actions produce certain results which to him are pleasant or unpleasant. As a child he avoids doing things thut cause him bodily pain. If he burns his hand or cuts his finger, he dreads fire and sharp- ' edged tools. He knows that if he takes undue liberties with them he Is sure to suffer physically and men-, tally. ? Deductive reasoning in children at the age of three or four years Is as keen as the edge of a razor, but through some trick of time when they merge into their 'teens, their childish caution flits away and leuves them imprudent and venturesome. They flash a red light to warn the old folks to beware of the wisdom and superior cunning of youth. 'Teens and twenties are the formative, red-light ages in which both sexes, consciously or uncousciousl}*. shape their destinies. If in these dangerous ages indulgent parents permit their offspring to have unrestricted freedom, allow them to have their own way at the turning point of the right or the wrong road, the chances are that they will waste their time and substance and drift through life without forming even a nodding acquaintance with success. To you who are In these perilous I periods, running along madly in pursuit of elusive nymphs of pleasure, "stop, look and listen!" Stop to consider what you are doing. Look abou^ you at those who are climbing the hills. See how cautiously they step. Listen to the words of wisdom, and especially to the advice of your elders.

Supreme Court of the United States. Through the years, Mr. Tuft bent his energies to the achievement of that ambition. He became a judge early in life, und made good record. He left the bench for service under , President Roosevelt, believing that through work for the nation he would be better able to reach his goal. When he was offered the post of secretary of war, Mr. Taft made it known to Mr. Roosevelt that he would prefer a place on the Supreme bench. No place was open at that time and he accepted the secretaryship with the understanding that his ambition might be gratified luter. Then the exigencies of politics made him a candidate for the presidency, an honor no American of ability is likely to refuse. Mr. Tuft became President, yet his real unibltion hnd not been achieved. Now he has been Riven the post he so long wanted, and will, most people believe, fill It with great credit. Of course, few men cun single out a particular high post as the object of a life ambition with uny hope of attaining it. Yet it was because Mr. Taft wanted to be chief justice that he developed the ability tliaf made him first governor of the Philippines, then a sort of roving commissioner for Mr. Roosevelt, and later secretary of war. If lie had not wanted, with all his heart, to be chief justice, be would never have been President. Contentment with a federal judgeship would have kept him always in Ohio.

O YOUR HAND How to Read Your Characteristics and Tendencies?the Capabilities or Weaknesses That Make for Success or Failure as Shown in Your Palm. THE HAND OF AN ARTIST FOR. a person of either sex to win success in any of the various fields of music, literature, etc.? the hand should be supple, and the fingers should be long. Short fingers denote want of attention to details, and this Is, of course. In the majority of cases, fatal to the hopes of success In art. "Genius Is an Infinite capacity for tnklng pains"- Is true In art. Other favorable signs are the fol-1 lowing: A small upper phalnnx of the thumb. If, In addition, the thumb is very flat, the fortunate possessor has an exceptionally favorable thumb for an artist. If the middle phalanx of the second finger, the Finger of Saturn, is well formed and well developed, and long, It Is a sign of greut love of the beautiful In nature. Tiie top phalanx of the third finger,1 the Finger of Apollo, should be strong, to indicate color perception. (Copyright.) WHYDO OUR FACES KEEP WARM IN COLD WEATHER?

BOY SCOUTS PLAY SANTA CLAUS Last year Akron (O.) scouts collected and distributed 900 toys among the poor children of the city. This year they raised the nnmber to 1,500. For weeks they canvassed the city for old toys, dolls, sleds, etc., which they painted, repaired and made to look as cood as new to delight the hearts of the kiddles on Christmas morning. This kind of good turn Is being quite generally practiced throughout the country. Other cities reporting similar Santa Clous service on the part of scouts were Louisville, K.v.; Cincinnati, 0? and Butte, Mont. The Cincinnati council got out an attractive poster In the name of "Santa Claus Co.. Inc.," bespeaking the public cooperation In handing over old toys, to the boy scouts for repafrlng and redistribution under the auspices of the Associated Charities. The Butte scouts established a regular toy hospital at their headquarters, to which the papers gave considerable publicity. SCOUTS MAKE TRAFFIC SURVEY The city planning commission of Grand lUtplds. Mich., recently invited the Boy Scouts of America to conduct a traffic survey. This was accomplished In so thorough and satisfactory a manner tlmt the boys won high praise not only from the city planning department but from all who saw the boys at their work. The count was checked up by men from the traffic safety council and was found In only one Instance to have been Inaccurate. Hugh E. E.vncn, secretary of the commission. In thanking Scout Executive Walker for the boys' services, said thnt he regretted thnt every boy could not have the benefit of scout training, because be could see In watching the boys at work how fnr-reaching the Influence of the movement was and what n genuine contribution to citizenship training. EXPLORE UNCHARTED SWAMPS A group of scouts and scout officials, representatives of the National Geographic society and newspaper men from Atlanta and other Georgia towns went on :m exploring expedition last November into the hitherto uncharted Okefenokee swamps to Investigate Its wild life. TO GIVE SERVICE MEDAL The board of trustees of the village of Bronxville, N. Y., has voted to award u "Village Medal" every year to the boy scout whose record at school, at home, at work (If employed) and in scouting activities indicates the most promise and achievement and one in whom the village may justly take real pride. The name of the scout who Is so honored will be placed on a permanent tablet in the trustee's room of the village hall. SCOUTS SAVE BUILDINGS When a group of boy scouts in Broken Arrow, Okln., were gathered at a troop meeting, word was brought that a fire hurl broken out in the vicinity which was endangering many buildings, as the high wind was blowing cinders from roof to roof. Instantly the hoys, under their assistant scoutmaster, were mobilized for service with "A Scout ?"r Every Roof" as their slogan. Fire Chief Walker later reported that the scouts* action un doubtodly saved several houses. k a? np?? n i i a I IS SEASON OF I HATS FOR 1 THIS Is n cont season?nntl It will ( he followed by another one?for t already the coats of spring are i under consideration.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Two Kings Who Lost Their OpportunlI tlCB. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Industrial Unrest and Its Cure. The movements leading up to the division of the kingdom begun during Solomon's reign. Solomon was led astray by his heathen wives. His Introduction of idolatry displeased the Lord, and the Lord made known to him the fact that the kingdom was to be rent from blni. I. The People's Demand (vv. 1-4). This was occasioned by the burden of excessive taxation and enforced labor required by Solomon In order to build costly houses and temples for hts heathen wive?. Owing, to the multiplicity of his wives, this became very burdensome. The\people were groaning under Its weight. 'Upon the accession of the new king, Rehoboam. the people through their leader, Jeroboam, came with the request that their burdens be made lighter, promising loyalty to him on the condition of lightened burdens. II. Rehoboam's Foolish Decision (vv. 5-15). 1. Rehoboam consulted with the oia men (vv. 5-7). He at once consulted the old men of experience who had been Solomon's advisers. Being acquainted with the conditions as imposed by Solomon, and knowing the temper of the people, they advised that the people's request be granted. S. Rehoboam consulted the young mtn who had growtt up with him ^v. 8-11). These young men were most likely half-brothers, sons of Solomon's many wives. Being thus brought up In the luxury of the harem, they were Ignorant of the real rights of the people ; therefore they advised that the burdens be Increased. 8. Rehoboam follows the advice ol the young men (vv. 12-15). At the appointed time he announced his purpose to the people. He answered them I roughly, asserting his purpose to Increase their burdens and sorrows Rehoboam lost the great opportunltj of his life. III. The Revolt of the Ten Tribe? (vv. 16-24). Upon Rehoboam's atxiouneeraent ol his rash purpose, all l&.ael cried out I ?'\Vhof nnrtfnn have we in Davldl Neither have we un Inheritance in thi son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel! Now see to thine own house, David.' Ilehoboam's attempt to collect tribute from the ten tribes was met by stom Ing Adoram, the tribute gatherer, sc that he died. Rehoboam's failure tc heed the advice of experienced men caused the work of two generations tc be unHone In a moment. IV. Jeroboam's Suostitute Religion (vv. 25-33). 1. He established calf-worship (vv. 25-33). (1) His pretext for (vv. 2(3, 27). He feared lest the religious unity should heal tne political separation. His plea was that the people would go bnck to Jerusalem to worship, and therefore would gradually be led to acknowledge allegiance to Rehoboam, and his own life would be tuken. This act ot' his had its root in his heart of unbelief. God hud promised through the Prophet Ahijah to build him a sure house, even as he had built for David (I Kings 11:38). Hud he believed God, this fear would have been dispelled. Jeroboum only used religion to secure personul ends. He wus too shrewd a pditiciun to do away with religion. He knew that religion was a powerful factor in man's life. (2) The calves set up (vv. 28-30). When Jerobonm set up these idols he said, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of Egypt." His religion was the religion of convenience, which Is very prominent today. 2. His scheme of worship (vv. 31-33). (1) He built houses of high places (v. 31). Tffis was against the direct command of God. God had directed his people to destroy the high places, to break down the idolatrous cities; but Jeroboam, moved by the demands of his sinful heart, disobeyed God. (2) He made priests of the lowest of the people (v. 31). God had set aside the tribe of Levi to fill the office of priesthood. In this again, he disobeyed God. (3) He changed the day of the feast of the tnbernnele (v. 32). The time of this feast was set by Jehovah (Lev. 23:33-34). Jeroboam, no doubt, thought that the change In the time would he better suited to that northern climate, but God who made the climate ordained the time of the feast. (4) Jeroboam himself Intrudes Into the priest's oflice (v. 33). This act of presumption on his part was the climax of his godless acts. All this grew out of a wicked heart. Within the Temple. If there is sorrow or adversity In your life, Is It not possible that the Master Is desiring to bring you Into the love and fellowship of the temple of the living God?
