MAKING THE MEN OF THE Flu
TURE.

.
When the Boy Scout movement wa.
inaugurated a good many years ago
by General Baden Powell il was rec.
ceived in this country as something of
a good natured Joke.
Today it is regarded as anything
but joke. 1t is considered SO far
reaching in its results that practically
the whole country is a unit in foster.
ms its development and expansion.
Probably the m".r no5ed cxamuie of
Il is sentiment tn the part If the pco.
pie is the manner in which the Ameri.
can Legion has taken hold of the
scout movement and is lending its aid
and encouragement in every possible
way.
Local legion posts all over the conn
try are assuming the responsibility of
maintaining and training scour troops.
and are converting many boys who are
inclined to be more or less intracti-
bic into steady, ambitious and high
minded young fellows, who in time will
become valuable citizens.
The goal of the legion itself is to
create 100 per cent Americanism, and
this is only one of the many valuable
qualities it seeks to instill into the
minds of our young boys.
The Boy Scout movement is now
one of the most valuable assets of our
country.

words which are derived from

meaning heart" but, in reality,
they are very closely allied,
having their parentage in the
old belief that the heart is the
seat of bravery. Courage" and
courageous" both bear testi-
mOny to this belief, having come
down to us by way of the
French, while 'pluck" is essen
TALLY Anglo-Saxon and was for
merly the slang term for the en-

to the heart, cut through the
windpipe, and then lift or pluck
out the heart and lungs, refer-

There has been SINE agitation look
ing to a revision of the constitution
fixing the powers of the Supreme
court of the United States. The court
consists of nine members, and five of
these members, constituting major.
ity, can declare unconstitutional any
law passed by congress and approved
by the president. II, frequently oe.
ours that this is done, and many peo-
pie are beginning to feel some of these
questions so decided are viewed nv
the court from too much of a parti
san standpoint. 1t has been suggested
that where a bill has been passed by
both houses of congress and becomes
law through the approval of the
president it should require a vote of
at least seven of those nine members
OF the court to declare the law mn
constitutional. Congress represents
the viii of the people in the laws it
enacts. If an act of the congress is
unconstitutional it should not be diff
fieult for seven of nine legally trained
and unbiased minds to arrive at its
uneonstituticnality. Party or class de-
eisions by the supreme court would
weaken the high record in which that
august body is now held by the Amer
lean people. Might it not be well to
require vote of seven of the nine
members of the court to undo an act |
Of congress that has received the ap
prevail of the president of the United

Augusta to Seek
Seven-Foot Channel
On Savannah River

AUGUSTA, Ga, Nov. 21.-At Il
meeting of the Savannah River as
ISOLATION here yesterday afternoon,
Mayor Julian M. Smith and Council
man RI Chambers announced that
the present city administration will
back the association, the board of
commerce and the business interests
of the city in putting line of first
class boats on the river and render
such other assistance as possible in
securing a five or seven-foot chan
mel at the earliest possible moment.
A report was made by f. M. Grady
relative to a recent trip he made to
Washington, at which time section
four Of the transportation act was
discussed. This section has to do
with a dry-land basis, on which 1t
is likely Augusta will be placed, un-
less a boat line is put in operation in
the near future.
Mr.. Grady said there is no use
to expect the interstate commerce
commission in the future to give low
rates to Augusta unless modern
navigation system is provided and
maintained on the river. When this
is done, he said, Augusta will then
be in a position to ask for better
rates. Putting Augusta ON B. dry
land basis would mean an increase
in freight rates of approximately ST.,
600 900 annually, he said.

On Tax Cut Proposal

WASHINGTON. Nov. 21.-Presi-
dent Coolidge is waiting to see, the

ton program from the farm and

as to the views of the president rela-
tive to the Mellon plan and his in
tentions as to dealing with it in his

ed throughout regarding the major
questions to come before congress

Ex-Governor Osborn
Quits Wife of AZ Years
For Earth's Wild Places

SAULT STE MARIE, Mich, Nov.
2t.-Because he liked the wild places
of the earth while his wife preferred
civilization, Chase s. Osborn, former
governor of Michigan, announced
here today a contract of separation
had been executed. The former gov
ernOr made the announcement in
denying reports that a divorce was
contemplated,
Mr.. Osborn characterized his wife
as woman who f'liked and adorned
civilization while he asserted that he
was a good deal of a barbarian"
The couple have been married AZ
years and have two sons and two
daughters, all more than thirty
years old.
Il have lived and explored, and
studied and written in the wild places
of the earth and still do" Mr.. Osborn
said today. I'm addition, L am an
exacting disciplinarian and no doubt
often unreasonable.

desire to experiment in the direction
of more free self-determinat L
still consider it my duty and pleasure
to do anything for Mrs. Osborn and
the children that they will permit.
There is nothing to cry about or even
Geplore."
Concerning reports that a divorce
action would be started, the former

be one; there is no grounds for one;
there is no desire for one on the part
of either"

more than half of all his property
and divided the remainder of his es-
tate between his children, relatives
friends and the public.
This has left me financially poor

as l would be and I am happy"

WORK IS STARTED
IN DRAWING REPORT
ON VETERANS PROBE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-With
the public hearings virtually ended,
counsel for the senate veterans COM
mittee began today the task Of shap-
ing up for the consideration Of the
committeeman the vast volume of
information gathered in the inVesti-
cation of the activities of the vet
Grams bureau. Put under way last
March, the inquiry was conducted
simultaneously in practically every
state in the union and eliminated in
public charges of corruption, waste,
debauchery and intrigue.
With the closing of the public SEES
sions, John F.. Organ, of New York
City, general counsel, told the com
mittee last night that what has been
presented publicly CONSTITUTES but
a fragment of what has been devel-
oped, both in relation to the neglect
Of the disabled and to corruption and
waste in the bureau"
The information collected in the
central office and in the field will
be considered by the committee at
business sessions during the next
three weeks. There also will be
conferences with officials of the bu-
reau for further study of ways and
means of lettering the service to
the World war veterans, but despite
the enormous task ahead of it the
committee hopes TO have its report
ready for the senate by December Is.
In it's investigation, the committee
has been assisted by a volunteer
field organization of more than 1000
persons, including doctors, lawyers,
business men and former service
men, which was built up by General
Organ. Commenting upon the
work of this organization, General
Organ, in his closing statement to
the committee, declared that the re-
ports of these men can be relied
upon both as to accuracy and dis
interestedness."
Announcing that to date the COM
mittee had expended less than $15,-
900 of the $4,000 appropriation
which the senate voted to it, Chair
man Reed said he thought the COM
mittee "can fairly claim that there
was no waste Of money on our part
while we were investigating the
waste of public funds"

Error in House Bill
Makes Opera Tax
$17,500 a Season

A study of the general tax act,
as passed by the house, discloSeS
the fact that instead of levying
tax of $4,000 on grand opera in At
ANITA, as had been supposed, the act,
N fact, levies q tax Of $4,000 upon
each concert given by a grand opera
company in city of more than
100000 population. In other words,
as it now stands, the bill leVies a
tax of $17, 500 on Atlanta's grand
opera, provided, of course, seven
performances are given, is usual.
The provision, as it appears II
the tax act, reads:
provided, further, that each
grand opera producing company fill
ing contracts in the state, $1,000
in cities of 100000 or lese popula'
ton, or $500 IN cities Of more than
100000 population for each such
concerts shall be collected from
each grand opera producing con-.
pany filling contracts in this> state"
Il is understood that the senate
finance committee will revise the
provision so as to limit the tax to
each contract, rather than makir5
it apply to each concert, so that,
in the end, the usual tax of $500
per season will apply.
