WASHINGTON, July 17.-There
will be held Friday in Washington
the meeting at which the La Toilette
party will choose its candidate for
vice president, and will otherwise
make plans for the campaign. The

more correctly designated as a
third ticket" It will have nom
inees for president and vice preai-
dent; but except in very few
states, nothing more. From this
fact a good many others flow.
If the La Toilette movement
could be called correctly third
party it would have a party organ

nary sense, it has not, 1t does not

INCREASE IN CAMP CHARGE.

An increase of $1 week in the amount charged for each boy al the New Britain Boy Scout camp will be necessary next year, accord ing to the report of the committee on camping made last night by Chairman E. L. Warren. During the past year the charge was $7 a week. but the cost of leadership, food, and preparation was $7.63 per boy, not including the cost of new buildings or hiring the camp site. The committee feels that the coun- cil should at least break even on the boys who attend camp, so th+ charge will be increased to $S foi 1925.
 The attendance during the pa;-, year increased 40 per cent and r camp was gratifying improyem' over those Of previous years. but tn committee recommended that steps be taken to secure site even more favorable and still better suited to scout camp.
 New Britain Boy Scouts will again have an opportunity to witness the Yale-Brown game this year as in past years, an invitation being re- ceived yesterday from the New Ha- ven scout council. The game will be played at the Yale Bowl on Sat urday, October 25, and Boy Scouts are entitled to admission free of charge. The responsibility for pro- viding transportation will rest on the troop committees of the indi- vidual troops as in past years.

FAST WORK IN BRITAIN;
 MAYBE TOO FAST

Great Britain today is in the midst Of sudden election campaign. Three days ago there was no thought of it. No issues seemed ;n sight. Every thing was moving along in a normal manner.
 But when Premier Macdonald was licked in parliament on technical matter he did the usual thing in British politics. He hurried to the king told him all about it, and ob- tained the consent of the king for an election bout with his political foes Parliament was dissolved, and today the British people are trying to fathom what it is all about and are attempting to come to some deci- sion on how to vote.
 Speed being characteristic of British politics, as it is in mcting out justice, the election date has been set for Oct. 29. The entire muss will be over in less than a month.
 Our election campaign has been proceeding ever since the political conventions nominated the candi- dates and won't be over until No- vember By that time the British will have settled down again with a newpremier, cabinet and parliament on the job.
 Shall we laugh at them or are they laughing at us The British, like Philadclphians. have the reputation of being slow; but how they ever earned the reputation we don't know.
