good papers were handed in and
all passed this test.
After Scout meeting the Scouts
enjoyed several games OF volley
ball. A new game was started, a
game entirely new. This game
was mixture of basket ball and
football. This new game was en-

further particulars in regard to
this new game consult the Scout

Statesman 80 Today;
81 Years Given to
Publ Service

LONDON, July 25.-CF-Great
Britain celebrated today the eight.
ieth birthday az one Of her most dis
tinguished statesmen, the Earl OF
Balfour.
Lord Balfour's public service goes
back 81 years, for he entered The
house of n in 1874 and he il
one Of the few great survivors Of the
Victorian era. The only other states
man Of outstanding eminence in the
period alive today is the Earl OF
Rosebery. He has been out Of poll
tics for twenty years, and is an in
valid.
Earl Balfour is a member Of the
cabinet today, being lord president
of council. Notwithstanding the
throat affection which laid him aside
during the winter and spring, he is
again normally active. When he at
tended the luncheon yesterday tc
celebrate the opening OF the new
quarters OF the British Academy OF
which he is president, he walked
through the streets TO the affair
rather than ride and swung along
orlskly with an energy which many
younger men might envy.
His recent illness necessitated q
rest from his usual physical activi-
ties, including tennis. Of which he
was a devoted player. but the Daily
Nail quoted him today as saving
that he intends to take I'D tennis
again shortly.
II seems unlikely that he will re-
sumo golf, OF which he also rlaved
q good deal, for he said: Tennis i
not like golf. II you play golf YOU
must do a round. and that means
two hours walking. but you car
knock off tennis when you like"
The luncheon yesterday was partly
IN honor Of the aged statesman's
birthday and the Prince Of Wales.

graceful compliments, to which Lord
Balfour responded with a liyelv
speech.

services to the state and as evidence
