The vital part of an affair of this kind is Ae actual working conditions under wffich our employees and ourselves both hope to prosper"

 Because of the importance of the question In connection with the en- forcement of the wartime prohibit ton act, court officials expect the government to ask that the case be expedited.

''rhe size of the raft will depend in
each case upon the amount of load II
will be called upon to carry, therefore
it will not be necessary for us here TO
go into dimensions and measurements.
We are simply required to construct a
staunch raft. The logs which are to
be used must be as nearly alike in size
as possible. OF course. they will all
be cut to the same length, but they
must also be of nearly similar di-
ameter at the butt and also of nearly
the same diameter AT the smaller end.

Well my father made me go on an
other hike with those vulgar scouts
you know father thinks they are just
great just because he was self made
man, but I don't think they are even
decent. Those boys actually go to bed
with their clothes on, now what do you
think about that? When / tell what
else they did you will hardly believe me
Oh. it is scandlous. They went in the
nasty muddy creek without even wear
ing bathing suits.
After / went to bed they came and
got me out of bed and marched me tc
the creek, nearly running my feet OF
the ground, and after they got me to the
creek they threw me in that nasty mud
dy water, and got my nightie all wet
then they threw water on my nice elder
down blanket, and 1 had to sleep be-
tween two old ticklish wool blankets
Now who would want t be a scout
after the way they treat nice respec-

think that 1 am socially above them
and II they are not going to be gentle
men themselves, they ought to allow
somebody else to act at least halfway
dent.
That is not the only thing they did
Last Friday night they initiated all
members who had come into the troop
in the last months. 1 was one of the
ones to be iniated and when my time
came the scoutmaster said, "Algy, you
are next so come ahead and get your
dose"
/ did not think it was fair for so man

refused to allow myself to be inflated
but those rough things would not lis

worst part of the iniation was the way
the scoutmaster treated us. He said

us some marshmallows. and what dc
