of independent Republicans making

but the further evidence brought out
at the Reed hearing. tending to-link
Senator Watson with Khan favor.
In a neighboring county Wednes-
iay a Republican leader, formerly
county chairman, said:
II have just come from a meet
ing called to discuss the question
whether we should concentrate our
efforts on saving Congressman Hick-
ey. If things go on as they have
been, Watson and Robinson will lose
the county. And, after the Reed
revelations, am not sure l won't

At Culver, Democratic leader also
predicted Watson and Robinson
would lose Marshall County.
"Of course. the hardshell Repub-
leans will vote for them. But the
former Klansmen are fighting Wat
son up here. Then I meet Repub-
lican after Republican, and some of
them I know never scratched a

Here at South Bend are the Notre

institutions, will be all in favor of
cleaning house in the Republican
party. Woollen is making an appeal

Boy Scouts Celebrate Sixteenth
, Anniversary This Week.

This week is being observed all over
the United States by Boy Scouts as
anniversary week, marking, as it does,
the end of the sixteenth year of the
organization in America.
In order to show the rapid growth
of the movement few facts selected
from bulletins furnished scout leaders
are listed:
Over 100000 boys have taken the
scout oath in the past 16 years; of
these, 1000 have attained the high
rank of Eagle Scout. At the present
day the total Of boys and men inter-
ested in scouting number 7S4, 496;
there are 614,815 registered scouts;
21,237 registered scoutmasters and
1886 assistant scoutmasters. Added
to this are some 10000 men who give
all or part of their time serving in
different capacities as scout officials.
There are 24,282 registered troops in
the United States; SO countries pos
sess scout organizations.
Each year these figures increase.
This indicates that every community
is beginning to realize the need of a
scout troop-a place where boys may
enjoy honorable play and interesting
