Council Will Conduct
 ScOutmaSterS' School

A training school for scoutmas- ters will be conducted by the New Britain Boy Scout council this win ter, starting if possible not late- than the third week in January. A course was run two years ago un- der the auspices of the Everyman's Bible class and proved so successful In developing leaders that many new troops were formed and school was unnecessary last winter.
 The course planned by Scout Exc cutive c. A. Erickson, prospect of which have been mailed to scout leaders for criticism. and sugges- tions, would consist of two parts. The first five sessions, including one hike, are intended for all men inter- ested In scouting. It is hoped to conduct this portion in two weeks. Then there will be a short break before the sixth session to enable those men who decide to become scoutmasters to form new troops or reorganize old ones. When these are under way the course will be resumed with eight further sessions once a week. for these new scout leaders only.
 The suggestion has been made that the meetings be supper ones and that some of the speeches be worked in between courses; the leaders are being sounded out on this question. Executive Erickson hopes that the fathers of scouts will become interested in the school and attend with a view to going into scouting. Present scout leaders arc also being asked to join and become the patrol leaders of the troop" to be formed among those attending the course. Suggested outlines of the school have been mailed to scoutmasters for examination and comment

 r Still unsatisfed, Mrs Robinson arose again. You are evading. not answering this question:" she de- clared. "The president has the power of leadership. It is said that he kept us out of war. I want to know why he didn't lead us in sooner"
 MT. Ely meanwhile was endeavor- ing to keep order in the meeting; he waved his hand soothingly and tried to quiet Mrs. Robinson with polite words and announced that the ques- ton had been answered. When other questioners arose with other topics, Mrs. Robinson left the hall.

Wants to Know Why, With His Supposed Lofty Ideals, He Did Not Enter War Sooner and Save More Lives.

New York, Dec. 14 GP-A sister of Theodore Roosevelt and the head of Woodrow Wilson's wartime com mittee on public information have I fclashed publicly over the war pres ident's ideals and vision.
 In the midst of hundreds of Will son admirers, Mrs. Corinne Roosevelt Robinson last night challenged Will sons idealistic vision after George Creel had made . speech in town hall explaining his view of his for mer chiefs personality. MT. Creel had declared that Will sons vision foresaw "a tragedy of disappointmen coming" even before the peace conference due to the Napse in idealsm that followed the armistice.
 Ut is we'll for great souls such a, these if, like Lincoln, they can die at the moment Of their greatest achievement" said Mir. Creel. There is nothing in the world more savage more cruel. and inhuman than a peoples reaction from its own ideal. ism."
 At the conclusion of Mir. Creel's address. Robert Erslline Ely. director of the League for Political Educa. ton on President Wilson's career under whose auspices the meeting was held. announced that Mir. Creel would answer questions. E Asks Him Questions
 Mrs. Robinson, who had been oc. cupying an aisle seat, arose and in a voice that carried to every corner of the hall, asked:
 If MT. Wilson had so much vi- sion as you say he had. why did he not enter the war sooner and save thousands of lives?"
 Some applause greeted the ques. tion. but it was drowned out in the buzz of excitement. MT. Creel an. swered:
 "He did not enter the war sooner because. for one thing. New York and the Atlantic seaboard are not America. It would have been inn possible to commit the American people to war any earlier"
 But the answer failed to satisfy Mrs. Robinson. She shook her head and exclaimed: You didn't answer my question.
 "But," explained Mir. Creel, "the r 3ident cant declare war. Do you

NAMING RICHARDS
 CAUSES DISPUTE
Argument Will Be Carried to
 Floor at Annual Meeting
-

Washington, Dec 14 GP)-Names have lot of significance for one reason or another--even names for airships
 Take the cases of the quintette of army amphibians assigned to make the good relations flight" to Latin America. They are christened the "New York" St, Louis" San Fran cisco" San Antonio" and ''Detroit," |" in recognition of what these five cities are doing in commercial avia- ton. But behind the selection of those names stands a picture of off, cial Washington rolling its head on sleepless pillows for many nights before the selection was made.
 Had to Be Diplomatic
 Names of international or national heroes of Latin America first were given consideration. But since each country has a different acknowledge ed hero, it would be difficult to se- lect five without offending the coun- tries not represented.
 Famous early discoverers also were on the list, but again the ques- tion resolved itself of possible regional objections. Then the ships of Columbus were suggested but some historians show there were three in the discoverer's fleet, and five names were needed.
 Names of rivers were advanced. Again objections, on account of con- fusion that might arise in the trans mission of dispatches, should, for example the "Parana" crash into the La Plata"
 Emblem Also Bothered
 Nor was the selection of names the only problem. Choice of an en- blem for the planes appeared to have possible international repercussions. The first emblem submitted had at the upper right edge the American Eagle. bearing an olive branch. But to certain officials there were things that might be misinterpreted. The eagle was too large. He was placed higher than the South American continent. What was more, flying towards it and possibly some one might think the, old bird was grin ming or even worse. smirking.
 So, the apparent trite yet practi- cal names of American cities were adopted for the ships, and their en- bl.m became a conventional one showing a winged circle enclosing th North and South American con- tnents.

Through tie Static

A bonny evening for the bonny laddies, but the Bonny Laddies weren't on the air last evening; you'll have to wait until Friday. Successfully eluding the lombard ment of missiles invited by that re- mark, we turn to the more serious work of the day, the review of radio. What thought that word radio con- jures, Oh, what dark, deadly thoughts. Back to the first subject. There was no static last evening and there was no buzz after 6:45 o'clock. Up until that time the racket was rather awful. Stations had a ten dency to initiate the volume of WTIC and WBZ, and we didn't try to discourage 'em.
 "Broadcasting Brambles," a talk by J. Clayton Randall. radio en- gineer of WTIC. from that station early last evening. proved to be one of the most interesting lectures we have heard in some time. MT. Ram dall took us through the operating room of the station, explaining the meaning of various terms and telling us all about the uses of the many instrumsnts and pieces of apparatus we came across. He explained the method of taking programs from NCAC at Storrs, and the method Of feeding program to the C. A. c. sta tion. He told us how the station keeps to its wavelength, and he also spoke about the wave itself. A very interesting discussion, told in de- lightfully informal manner. MT. Randall sounded as if he were talk ing to some of his friends in his own home. There was no blah- blah about it, Just plain facts. We might also say that MT. Randall has a great voice for radio, although he prob- ably knows that by this time, And we'd also like to state that we are looking forward for the next install- ment of "Broadcasting Brambles.' The talks would look good in book form, we should think.
 
 Selections from the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, "Pirates of Pen zance," came through well from WJR, Detroit, where the Casper Iipgeman entertainers presented q vocal program. The singing was especially worthy of note, we thought.
