TIE HAPPY SCOUTMASTER

The National council of the Boy
Scouts of America, at its eleventh an
nual meeting, held in New York City
short time ago. adopted resolution
expressing heartfelt appreciation of the
loyal and self-sacriticing service of the
volunteer workers in the movement,
throughout the nation. This is rec
ognition due from all of US who have
sons or who are interested in the well
fare of boys, all of us, who understand
that what our youth is being taught
today. will determine what our Ameri-
ca viii be tomorrow.
In an article in a recent Issue of
scouting appears this fine commentary
on the happy scoutmaster who wall
antly serves his country in time of
peace. Placing duties above rights.
service above self. he fares forth to
win for his country the heart of youth.
the hope of the world.
1.-THE happy scoutmaster perceives
that what makes his efforts worth
while is not only that through whole
some play he may save a boy from the
error of his way. but also that life
being real and earnest and practical
boy must learn to labor, and 1t is
the happy scoutmaster who kindles
within the heart of youth the fires of
ambition--passion to make the most of
himself. the will to work, to serve his
his God
THE happy scoutmaster finds the
motive power of his own life in the
scout oath and law and counts that
day lost wherein no good turn Is done.
Nobly inspired, his boys follow the
same vision splendid and like knights
of old find the Holy Grail in helping
other people at all times. He is. in
deed, the happy scoutmaster when so
prepared. he wins the confidence Of the
boy and offers opportunity for youth
to prove how gloriously it will do the
right wherever there Is such a man
to lead.
MANY serve their country valiantly.
Some have lived, and given much; 9TH
ers have died, and given ALL But
who more than the happy scoutmaster
for his country's sake lays down his
life? Having one life to give to his
country. he gives 1t freely that youth
may be served.
while others concern themselves
with seeming weightier matters, the
happy scoutmaster lays foundations
that make safe the future building Of
democracy"

SALES TAX OPPOSED
BY THE MAJORITY
SENATE COMMITTEE is EXPECT.
ED TO MAKE ADVERSE
REPORT.
WOULD INCREASE REVENUE
Other Phases of Revenue Problem To
Be Considered During the Next
Two or Three Weeks-Re-
peal Is Favored.

Washington.-After several days of
hearings devoted chiefly to the sales
tax the Senate Finance Committee
will take up other phases of the reve-
nue. problem. 1t is planned to con-
tinue the hearings for two or possibly
three weeks longer.
Witnesses schedule to be heard in
clude c. G. Hance of Indianapolis,
chairman of the Taxation Committee
of the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce; G. H. Archibald Har-
ris, public accountant of Chicago;
and F. E. Seidman of Grand Rapids,
Mich.
Representatives of several leading
insurance companies will be present
to urge the repeal of the present in
surance tax. The witnesses will in
clude Thomas W. Blackburn of Oma-
ha, and c. H. Boyer of Chicago.
Although several witnesses have ap-
peared In support of sales tax the
impression given at the hearings has
been that a majority of the committee
will not favor it. Senator Smoot Of
Utah is the one member who is ac-
lively for a turnover tax of 1 per
cent Senator Watson of Indiana has
shown an inclination toward a sales
tax. No other Republican has indicat-
ed by questions a pronounced view in
favor of a sales tax Senator PEN
rose of Pennsylvania, the chairman,
has appeared undecided with a proba-
BILE leaning against it. Most of the
Democrats have seemed to be against
the sales tax, some of them being in
clined to defend the excess profits
tax.
will favor the repeal of the excess
profits tax is unquestioned, although
the representative of the American
Farm Bureau urged its retention. The
issue relative to the sales tax has de-
veloped not so much on the question
of whether it should be the substitute
for the excess profits tax as on the
question of whether it should be used
to replace the miscellaneous excise
tax as well as the excess profits tax.
The excess profits tax it has been
estimated, will yield during the next
fiscal year only $450,0O0,OO0, while
the miscellaneous excise taxes, which
many organizations propose to repeal,
will yield $900,000,00O or more. The
lowest estimate as to the yield OF
/ per cent turnover tax is 81, 800, 000,-
900, some claiming 1t will yield 81
000,000,000 or more.

A NEW STAR.

Astronomers have discovered a new
star which is arousing unusual inter-
est. 1t is known as the Nova Sagitarii
star or ''nOvae." Stars of this kind
burst suddenly into flame and then
fade away until they are invisible to
the eye. Sometimes they can still be
seen by powerful telescopes, while
again they disappear entirely. Astron-
omers have many theories to account
for the sudden disappearance of such
stars. but they still remain a mystery.
