e Gardens e Germans rage Move ut This week I want to talk to you about a subject which every Lone Bcout probably knows a great; deal aboutâ€"Trees, In the district in which you live there may be a great number of trees of various sorts to make the landâ€" scape beautiful and to delight the eye of all who pass by. Unfortunately, however, in years gone by, when men had greater hardâ€" ships to face than we have today, the trees were frequently sacrificed by the old ‘ioneers with a total disâ€" regard to the damige that they were doing to their property and to the scenlc beauty of the countryside, All that they cared about was the fact that they required luambe: to build their houses and barns, that the iand must be cleared for cultivation and that fences must be erected. The consequence is that now, as we journey through our provincs, we frequently come across places which are practically devold of trees, and which consequently are most deâ€" pressing to look upon. For, after all, ‘re not trses on of man‘s best friends? They provide lumber, which we cannot do without, and if the matâ€" ter is takenm seriously they (are a very profitable investment, they provide shade for man and baas. on a hot day,. They protect from the cold winds in winter, and they doâ€" light the eyeo with their jeauty. Also trees can turn otherwise bar ren land into beautiful and proft able country. In quite a few parts of this counâ€" try, the soll is very sandy and quite useless for ordinary cultivation. This sand, too has a bad habit of driftâ€" iug over other good land and makâ€" ing that too worthless, A small plantation of trees will atop this drift of sand, will prevent the ruination of good property, and will put to good use this sandy soil which otherwise is worthless, 1t the right trees are planted in a wise manmner, In a very few years the Mahatma Gandhi India‘s Leader Toronto Weekly Gives Interesting OQOutline of India‘s Prophet "Mahatma Gandhi is the most inâ€" f@uential person in India today." writes Trevor H, Davies, D.D., in this article in the New Outlook, Toâ€" routo. To millions of its people he is the greatest man in the world. Aud â€" it is the man himsell who counts. There are few among his countemporaries in whom the power of spirit has come to such singleâ€" ness of expression, . He is poor.| having renounced all material posâ€" sessions. His uniqueness has mado us anxious to present him to our readers. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, to give him his full name (Mahatma is a title bestowed upon his meaning "Great Sofl"), was born in 1889 in Woestern India, His father bequeathâ€" ed his family little save a passion for truth; his mother has been callâ€" ed a Hindu Monica. _ At the age of ninateen he salled for England to study law and was declared a barrigâ€" ter in June, 1891. It was after his returna to India that the call came to defend some of his fellow countrymen domiciled in South Africa. _ Gandhi remained in that country for twenty years. . Too much stress cannot be laid in tracâ€" ing his development to the years wpent in South Africa. He found himselt and the ruling principles of his work there. When he returuâ€" his work there. . When he returoâ€" ed to India it was only to apply and develop the laws of life which beâ€" came luminous to him during the years he spent as the champion of outcast classes in that southern land. It was Gandhi who organized opâ€" position to despotism among his felâ€" low countrymen in South Africa, and at the same time prevented violence and bloodshed in their determinaâ€" tion to be free. . Three principles he proclaimed which were afterwards destined, in the larger life of India, to make him the storm centre of that land. â€" Mon should take no part in the life of a society which denied them freedom, that is "nonâ€"coâ€"0peraâ€" tion." â€" They should do no viclence «pou their oppressors: it suffering camo to them it must be borne, but Jojury to those who cause that sufâ€" faring should not be even coutemâ€" plated: it is the principle of "nonâ€" viotence," _ They ought further to werys their oppressors, belping them in any need: that is "Soulâ€"Force." When Gandhl returned to India he was already a natlonal hero, and thousands flocked to his leadership. He established what is called "Ashâ€" ram," some three nundred miles north Of Bombay; it was & social and reâ€" ligious group upon which he imposâ€" ed certain rules of life. The work ot Gandhi may be understood by a careful study of these basic laws of lite and doctorine. (a) The yow of Truth Men must follow Truth at all costs. (hy The doctrine of Ahinisa. This 45 more than non vi~*nce. The folâ€" trees themselves are large senough to turn into lumber, and so prove a profitable investment on land that otherwise would be a dead loss. cost, so that you can easily Siart your own plantation? Write to Headquarters for details of this. 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 littls Do you know that every year at the week end of the 24th May a camp is held at the Government Forestry Station at Angus, Ontario, where about 200 Boy Scouts are the guests of the Government, and are shown all about the research work in Forâ€" estry which the Government is doâ€" ing? These boys help to plant a few trees, and are given some to take home with them and they learn a great deal about this subject. The camp costs them nothing at all, excepting the cost of their transportation to and from Angus, and you too can be one of that numâ€" ber if you wish. It you would like to attend this camp, write to your Scoutmaster and obtain fuller partiâ€" culars. Last year a number of Lone Scouts, members of the Buffalo Paâ€" trol at Vandorf, attended this camp and reported a wonderful time, At Ebor Park, near Brantford, Onâ€" tario, is one of the finest collections of trees, growing naturally, in Onâ€" tario. This is whore the Lone Scouts have held their Summer Camp for iwo years, and it is a very hbeaut!â€" ful plaee. . There is one Black Walâ€" nut tree which requires three Lone Scouts to stretch their arms around it‘s truuk, in order to touch hands all round. (c) The vyow of Selfâ€"Control, Apâ€" petites and passions are to be held in fey restraint. The â€" exaggeraâ€" tion of this srinciple in the teaching of Gandhi has left him open to the criticism that so greatly does he dread the sexâ€"instinct, raciat suicide would be desirable to him. ‘ (d) The vow _ of Sivadeshi. AHl should buy in the nearest market.i This application of his ideals led to the boycotting of foreign gooda,1 which might have occurred had there heen no political unrest. _ It would. certainly make a general commercial intercourse impossible, (e) The yvow of Fearlessness,. Fear prevents us from _ following truth, and is opposed to faith in God, l (f} The vow â€" regarding Untouchâ€" | ables. â€" There are sixty million peoâ€" { ple in India whose touch meaus potâ€" | lution, whose shadow is a defilement. ’Agatnst this hideous result of the 'cuto system this highâ€"caste Brahâ€" man has struggled for years. Gandbhi himselft lives from time to time with these depressed people and enâ€" tertains their representatives in his home. He has not declared himself against the caste system but he has inspired his followers to oppose this !sochl crime of the Untouchables with all their power., Applications _ to â€" join the Lone Scouts of Ontario, should be made to The Lona Scout Department, RBoy Scouts Association, 320 Bay Street, Toronto 2, Ontario. Only boys who caund gular Troop are elig‘:ble Lona Scouts. lowers of Gandhi must not harbor an uwncharitable thought, even towards one considered aun enemy, (g) The vow of Khaddar. Every one should work with his own hands, Gandhi would have the old spinningâ€" wheel introduced to the homes of India. _ He is afrald of the modern machine, and of factories with their highâ€"powered _ looms, He â€" would stem the economic tide which is slowly flooding and enriching India. This vow of Khaddar is the utterâ€" ance of an impractical mystic and has not merely brought him into unâ€" necessary conflict with the governâ€" ment of India, but threatens also to retard the progress of his own peoâ€" ple towards economic and industrial freedom. It should be added that as a temâ€" porary palliative it is good to have the spiluningâ€"wheel in the home durâ€" ing the days of poverty which beâ€" shadow the families of India. (h) Lastly, he taught the religtous use of politics. _ Men should first realize their communion with God through prayer and then allow the sanctuaryâ€"light to be thrown upon every interest of human life, from which, of course, politics cannot be excluded. Considering â€" these principles of lite one sees at once the vulnerable points in his system of thought, but surely we may also see how noble are the ideals Gandhi cherishes and how deeply he has been influenced by New Testament teaching. From this Ashram a revolution has been precipitated, which however inept and mistaken in some of its applicaâ€" tions, has had as its guiding motive the spirit of gentleness and gooduness. "Through love," writes Gandhi, "we seek to conquer, We must love the ;;l;inlâ€"st;";.on of the Government and their supporters, We must love them and pray to God that they caunot join a ré lig‘ble to join the "LONE E." might have wisdom to see what np-| pears to us to be their errors. . It is our duty to let ourselves be slain, but not ourselves to slay." The idealist frequently fails beâ€" cause he does not see clearly in what manner and degree his ideals can be upplied to some immediate situation. Gandhi has, at times, tound1 himsel{ confronted by a grim and dreadful Frankenstein of his own“ 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 good man accomplishes itselt in â€" many ways. The Soulâ€"Power liberated â€" wins â€" its greatest victories beyoud â€" legislaâ€" tures, baitleâ€"fields and lawâ€"courts, In this fateful year of India‘s hisâ€" tory it is well to recall that Gandhi has so profound a respect for the British â€" character. "The Englishâ€" man," he writes, "never respects you unless you stand up to him, He ia afraid of nothing except his own conscience. â€" He does not like to be rebuked for wrongdoing, at first, but he will think over it and it will get hold of him and hburt him till he does something to put it right." _â€" One wonders whether Gandbhi has yet discovered that the principle of }non-vlolenco is too idealistic for the 'massea of India. In his very pres ence his own devoted followers have risen up to massacre and destroy, Following the horrors _ at â€" Chauri Chaura Gandbi issued a proclamation acknowledging that this was the third warning he had received from God that the time had not yet come for his ideals to be put into practice. In penance he imposed upon himsolf | a Aveâ€"day fast. £ ’l'he Government of India has also learned many lessons. _ We cannot impose our will upon a reluctant peoâ€" ple. Auto Salesmen Attend School Extensive Course in Selling and Car Mechanics on Curriculum London.â€"A school, with an extenâ€" sive curriculum, covering all phases of automobile mechanics and the art of selling is attracting crowds who aspire to the life of the men who sell motor cars.

C. Hunsaker, vicepre aident of the Goodyearâ€"Zeppelin Corâ€" poration, in an address before the society of automotive engineers, aeroâ€" nautic division here. Such a line could carry a bulk of the regular first class transâ€"Atlantic mail, Hunsaker said, and could cater to the 25,000 passengers a year who are now Schneider Race Course Changed Channel Left Open to Shipâ€" pingâ€"Planes Will Be Visible For 15 Miles . Southampton, Eng.â€"The _ famous air race for the Schneider trophy will be flown this year over a new course, Instead of fourâ€"sided as it was for the race in 1929, the new course will be triangular and a 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 mada near Wittering to the east of Chichester harbor. _ At this point the course turns sharply to the west and then stretches straight pnt‘ Hayling Island, Sowheas, Gilkicker Point and Stokes Bay, and so to the next turn off the Isle of Wight at a point to the northâ€"east of East Cowes. The first leg of the triangle is seven and threeâ€"quarter: miles, the second leg eight and â€" quarter miles, and the third, fourteen and a half miles. The turns will be fower but sharpâ€" er this year, _ Cornering will be dificult and of great importance while tha control of the seaplanes in the air will have a still greater signiâ€" ficance than in past races. . A splenâ€" did and better opportunity is offered in this year‘s race for high speed slong the third leg of the triangle which runs parallel to the mainland for fourteen and a half miles. The new course, from a speciatâ€" ors‘ point of view, is better than the old. The progress o° the machines in the 1929 race could only be viewâ€" ed, for the most part, through feld glasses unless people were fortunate enough to obtain a point of vantage in one of the warships or yachts in the harbor. This year there will be a clear view visible from the mainland for about fifteen miles of the course, It is thought that part of the new course will be dangerous in the event of a forced landing, since the maâ€" chines will fiy over eight or ten miles of unsheltered water. _ In any event, the race which will be flown on 7Séptember 12 offers more thrills this year than ever before.

"Then how could I associate with you?" paying high fares for extreme speed in transâ€"ocean travel. ‘The plan outlined by Dr. Hunsaker calls for construction of two American dirigibles and two by the German Zepâ€" pelin interests, Each side then would build a terminal in the most favorable natural air harborâ€"in America the re gion around Baltimore, Washingtos and Richmond, in Germany, the Frankâ€" port district in the Rhina valley. The four ships could maintain re gular twiceâ€"aâ€"week schedules.

Looking for and discovering Wilkins‘s expedition will serve as a practical test of the efticâ€" acy of the Grat Zeppelin in the polar regions.
