A BADGE OF HONOR
The Scout Pin Admits to the compan
ienship CT Clean, Decent Boys

One of the first requirements which
Boy Scout must comply with is that
he shall knew the significance of the
scout badge. and in compliance with
this he learns that the trefoil refers
to the three points in the scout oath;
that the scroll with lpturned ends
suggests a smile, fer q scout is
cheerful" and the knct is to remind
the boy TO do a good turn daily
This satisfies the requirements of
the test. but il is in fact only small
part of the significance OF the sc1dlt
badge. II is possible that when the
first scout wore the first badge it
meant not much more than is statM
in the handbook, bui with every year.
as the movement builds up history and
traditions and record OF things ac-
complished. the significance of the
scout badge grows.
Today the boy who goes to a strange
nla-e wearing a seort badge will not
depend ON chance in selecting his com.
nanions. The scout badge and certifi.
cate give an entree to the companion

House COMMITTEE
WASHES ITS HANDS
OF PROBE OF PIERS
Says Senate Was "HostiIe"
and Two Investigations
Too Expensive

As forecast recently in the Star-Bul
letin, the house committee on lands
and public improvements has washed
ifs hands Of any investigation oil
. Piers s, and 10.
In a report yesterday the committee
recommended that the resolution cali
ing for the investigation be tabled In
the opinion Of the committee, the sen.
ate displayed hostility in declining to
enter into joint investigation, as
suggested by the house II is further
pointed out that two separate probes
might run into thousands Of dollars,
and that the committee does not think
IL wise to entail such expense, =
The house committee, therefore,
leaves the entire probe TO the senate.
in part, the report follows:
Too Much Expense IL. . -.
Your committee has given very
careful consideration to the matters
embraced in the resolution and we
have found, after much examination
that the investigation, II properly and
thoroughly conducted, would entail
the expenditure of a very considerable
sum OF money and would occupy a
large period Of time IL the services of
experts were engaged. and more
money would be needed to retain the
services and advice OF consulting en-.
gineers TO pass upon the findings and
TO check up the reports OF those ex-
perts whom we planned TO employ on
this most important matter.
Senate Not Willing =.@. -
Your committee, through the in
PRODUCTION of concurrent resolution,
endeavored to have the senate act in
conjunction with il in making this in
vestigation, but TO no purpose; we are
OF the opinion that one report from
joint committee to this legislature
would be the proper. method in this
matter and would clear up and solve
the doubts as to these piers; a report
coming from each division Of the leg
islature, neither would or could serve
the purposes wished for, as in all PROB
ability each report would differ in It's
findings and recommendations.
Upper Rouse Hostile"
The attitude Of the senate in, pro
ceeding to hold its own investigation
and refusing TO join with this house
in this matter of equal moment to the
whole legislature, it is regretfully sub
mltted, Is one that betskens hostility
to this house and is Committed, and ]
Is not cor ddcive 70 the Obtaining OF
results for the people, therefore
I Your committee, in reporting on
this resolution, recommends that il
be tabled for the reasons, among 9th
ers, in this report contained
THAT q separate Investigation OF
these pier matters by the house and
again by the honorable senate. would
entail and incur a waste of time and
effort-at double cost and duplication
and would lead to no satisfactory
agreement, findings or results"

ground at the mill each year for a
period Of 10 years, including interest
at 3 per cent for the reimbursement

Representative Lyman introduced a
concurrent resolution which calls at.
tention to the fact that there is a
limit of so acres on homesteads and
that large areas of land are suitable !
only for pastoral and not agricultural
purposes. Congress is asked to amend

cultural land, 40 to so acres, so to
100 acres, first and second class re.
