NEED NO GRUB OR TENTS

Scouts of New York City will be
able soon to go on weeks hike with
out the trouble of carrying grub or
shelter tents. This Is the plan of Chief
Gordon, and it is now being actively
carried out by two members of Troop
POS, Bronx. who are building and
marking White Bar Trail This is a
trail being Laid out at the Kanohwahke
camps. encircling the Country about
them. Its total length will be more
than forty level miles, that is, miles as
measured on a map. The hills and val
levs will probably make this distance
25 to 50 per cent more. To cover the
whole trail will require a hike Of FIVE
and half days. In providing for ac-
cOmmOdatiOns at night, Il Is Chief
Gordon's plan to establish a series Of
FIVE camps at one-day intervals on the
way.

ut Is unfortunate that in suit for
the announced purpose of preventing
lawlessness the Attorney Generals
office has prepared, and court, on
hasty consideration. has entered an
order which, unless carefully inter
preted, might be read as fagrant
violation of constitutional rights of
American citizens as repeatedly af-
fifmed by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Apparently either haste or failure
to use the English language with pre-
cision has led to the drafting of an
order which, read too literally, would
deny the right of free speech, or COM

ment of debts, or mutual aid in lawful
association to men engaged in the
peaceful, legal conduct of their bust
