THE BILL" said DR.. Garfield. ;goes
further than believe, necessary or

fact-finding body power to determine

This power ought to be reserved
to the president. or if delegated

trade commission authority to collect

SCOTTSDALE SCOUTS RETURN FROM TRIP

SCOTTSDALE, Aug. 22-Fourteen
 boy scouts of the ScottsdaIe troop
 returned from a two day trip to Granite Reef Sunday morning. The
 boys, in charge of Scoutmaster San
 dige. left Friday evening in three cars
 for the camp. When they arrived a
 heavy rain was falling and the river
 was rising rapidly. They pitched
 their tent and cooked supper. After
 supper large fire was built so they
 could dry their clothes but it rained
 so hard that the fire was put out. so
 the boys were forced to sleep in wet
 clothes and bedding.
 The next day was fairly clear, but
 the boys had had so little sleep they were excused from all scout work and told to put in the day as they pleased. Most of them spent the day swimming and fishing. About 20 pounds of fish were caught. The spring at the camp was in an un- sanitary condition and the scouts cleaned 1t out and walled it up with
 rocks. which was greatly appreciated by the other campers. One camper tried to ford the river during the high water and was stalled in the mid dle of the stream. After an hours work the scouts had the car out of danger of the flood waters There

TOM MOORE COMEDY TEXTURE 1T R|ALTO

For wholesome humor, enlivened by bullet-swift action, Tom Moore in Hold Your Horses" the Rialto's stellar feature, surely draws first place.
 Adapted from Rupert Hughes Sat urday Evening Post story Caravan. {" Hold Your Horses makes perhaps the most admirable vehicle Tom Moore has ever had. It scintillates and snaps with witty titles. unusual situations and the cleverest sort of theme, reviewing the rise of fan Irish lad from street sweeper to po- litical boss.
 The plot gets under way when the audience Is introduced to the lowly white wing and his Amazon wife and a home life that Is about as congenial as two strange bull dogs in a back alley. Then there comes street cleaner. He is run over and injured by the carriage of wealthy society girl. Deciding life on the streets is too dangerous, he joins a dynamite blasting gang. His first job is waving a red danger flag. and for the first time in his life people bow to his will. This awakens the fighting Irish spirit in the lad and the rest is comedy of happy sur
 prises, humorous. genuine climaxes and Tom Moore making the hit of his I life in as enjoyable motion picture as it is possible to furnish. l The added attractions are the | Chester comedy Beat It" and tht
