Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, that dean
of American fighting men, strongly
urges that both state and federal aid
be given to every legitimate movement
to make attractive and perpetuate our
outdoor interests.
Hunting and fishing he places in
the front rank of outdoor sports, which
he believes was one of the greatest
factors in making it possible for Uncle
Sam to cross the seas with an army
capable Of standing the strain and
acqu1tting themselves as our boys did.
General Scott knows whereof he
speaks. Retired under the age limit,
his robust body and keen mind per-
mltted him to spring back into the har-
ness at his countrys call. He credits

commission to investigate recent in

ADMIRAL "ROUGH-HOUSE" RODMAN

When Admiral Hugh Rodman first
came to the Pacific coast years ago as
a Junior officer soon after his gradua-
ton from Annapolis he acquired the
sobriquet Rough House" from men
and officers of the navy.
Returning now at the head of half
the American navy, he brings a deco

in that country would cause him to be
addressed "Sir Hugh" as a knight COM
mander of the order of st. Michael
