Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts Of AmericA)
SCOUT LEADERS ASSEMBLE

The eleventh annual meeting Of the
national council, Boys Scouts Of Amer
lea, took place at the Hotel Comm0-
dore, New York city, recently, with
scout men to the number of 1914 pres
eEt, from SO states, representing the
enormous volunteer leadership Of the
country. These men come together
every year to review the work Of the
past II months and to make plans
for the future
The spirit Of the whole meeting was
admirably expressed in the forceful
phraseology of the Chief Scout Execu-
tive James Il. West, as follows:
1T must be ever borne in mind that
the basis Of strength and power of the
hoy scout movement will not be meas
ured alone by the number OF scouts
and scout officials the records Of ac-
tivity Of the national council, or mum.
Der Of local councils organized; these
are but means to an end. The value
Of the scout movement will be judged
by the individual boy scout-his con-
duct appearance, the way he puts In
to practice the scout oath and law and
reveals that he is actually prepared
to do things worth while because Of
the program of activities Cf the Boy
Scouts of America"
Resolutions were passed endorsing
the work Of the Kiwanis and Rotary
clubs In giving scouting and other
boy programs generous support and
sympathy and greetings were ordered
sent to the boy scouts Of Great Brit
ain, France and Belgium, in partic-
ular, and to boy scouts everywhere
throughout the world 1t was also
voted to continue the cooperation with
the American committee for devastated
France by again lending Lorne M.
Barclay, director of the department of
education of the national council for
period of six months TO the work OF
the committee In France, looking for
ward TO the development of scouting
in France and particularly to assist
In bringing about unification Of the

intended to merely fill the students
head with facts. The possession of
the latter, he says, is no measure of
intellectual capacity.
1T would be as unreasonable to
estimate a mans material wealth by
the money he has III his pocket as it
is to measure mans intellectual
equipment by the number of facts
that he carries in his mind" said the
educator.
''The man of qualities, of outstand
ing leadership, in this world is the
man who knows where lie the sources
of knowledge and where may be found
the springs of incentive. The latter
may have resources a thousand-fod
those of the former man whose capa
city is limited to what any commercial
memory test would afford him."
President Hopkins concludes by
saying that in his judgment 1.-The pre-
sumption would be against mans
large mental capacity whose mind
was encumbered with litter of such
detailed information as that for which

This firm has strike on. 1t comes
to New York and tells Justice Nc
Avoy that it has given up it's shop

hindered it by insisting that it settle

Walter Gordon Merritt, well-known
legal defender Of the anti-union shop.
Morris Hilquit, attorney for the
unionists, says:
"The complainant appears to disre-
gard entirely the methods of produc-
ton in the cloak industry and would
have us forget that the jobber plays
a very important role in the industry,
and just as it is important for the
workers that the garments made by
manufacturers, ub-manufacturers
or contractors be union-made, so is it
important to all workers that the
garments ordered by jobber be
union garments"

avans Becoming Very
 Stylish For Travelling
Caravans

In recent years a new and unique form of travel has developed by which inside workers can get their fill of the outdoors and cover broad tracts of land with amazing speed and unusual comfort. The vehicle is the caravan, a motor car equipped with whatever convenieces for living, eating and sleeping the owner de- sires and can afford. The routes are limited only by the distances be- tween the two oceans.
 Caravans aie becoming a common sight on the highways and side roads of America and caravaning is getting to be a national habit like golf and orange pekoe People who caravan pack up their car with blankets, mos quito bar. food. guns and fishing rods and start out on a teh thousand mile drive from Ypsilanti to Old Mexico via Los Angeles, without so much as gasp of astonishment from their neighbors. These nomads on pneumatics formerly used automo- piles but the Rec Speed Wagon brought a new degree of comfort to the transcontinental journey. The wanderers found the Speed Wagon ideally suited in sw.ftness, reliability and easy riding to the long trails that the road commissioners somehow never get around to. After days of driving on tooth, stone-embroid-
