ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. i7.-The
great problem:
Did George w. Wickersham, as
chairman Of President Hoovers
anti-crime commission. intend his
recent wet-and-dry letter to Gov.
Franklin d. Roosevelt, OF New
York, TO be made public, or was il
a private tip for Governor RooSe-
velt alone?
This puzzle intrigues Governor
Albert C. Ritchie Of Maryland
scarcely at all.
Governor Roosevelt made the let
ter public anyway, SO that part Of
the controversy is only academic al
most, as Governor Richie see IL.
TO me-" admits the Marylander
the tantalizing question is:
What did Chairman Wickershan
mean to say?'
IF" continued the governor, "he
meant TO say that prohibition Is
an issue properly left to the state tc
decide for themselves
why, then I agree with him
heartily.
If. as he has been suggested be-
fore and since, he meant that any
obligation rests on the individual
states to enforce a federal law
why, that I can't see in thg
least.
Il don't believe that anyone
argues the existance OF such a Legal
obligation. But a moral obligationS
No, I don't concede that, either"
1T is not contended.' said the
Maryland executive. that the
states are bound to aid in enforcing
the Mann act. or in collecting the
federal income tax.
Yes, / know that prohibition is
represented as something different
I fail ID see how.

Communist Leaguers, particularly prev
alent IN the industrial belt, have shown
toward the Scout movement. It Is
hoped to convince workdng-claSs parents
that Scouting Is not . military train
ing.
The chief Scout and his jamboree
stan have been faced with an immense
task In preparing for the jamboree. For
more tnan a year arrangements have
been tn progress.
Although this year marks the twenty
f1rst birthday of the Boy Scout move
ment, it Is actually % years since the
f1rst experimental troop of boys gather
ed on Brownsea Island, In Pool Harbor,
for a trial camp. Thirty boys attended
the camp and they were drawn from all
classes.
Camp Lasted Eight Days.
The camp lasted eight days. the first
being allowed for settling down, the
next six for training In such subjects
as camping, observation, woodcraft,
chivalry. life saving and patriotism,
while the last day was devoted to q
summary Of the whole course.
The organizer was en1inently pleased
with his experiment for he wrote: THE
results we're such as to encourage the
highest hopes rs to the possibilities Of
the scheme when carried out on q
larger scale"
The next year. in 1908, the Boy Scout
movement was definitely launched, but
not without encountering many OBJ
structionS. The pioneers were looked
upon with suspicion or ridicule and they
had to fight much open opposition.
Now the movement has taken root
in every part of the British Empire,
while nearly every other country has
adopted 1t. Today its membership ap-
proximates 100000.
Scouts Useful in War.
Scouts proved very useful during the
World War, when they undertook du-
the front. The admiralty still pays
three shillings and sixpence a head an
nually to all Sea Scout troops which
come up to q certain standard Of pro-
| ficiency. This is for services rendered
between 1914 and ls15"by Sea Scouts,
who acted as coast guards and assisted
the naval forces In other ways.
On independence day, 1925, the
American Ambassador In this country
presented, In behalf Of the Boy Scouts
of America, a bronze statue Of the Brit
Un On scout. whose faftffuiness In
| the performance Of his daily good turn
brought the Boy Scout movement TO the
United States Of America"
The founder Of the Boy Scout move
ment is Lieut.. Gen. Sir Robert Baden
Powell BIT, equally known as the Chief
Scout and B-P.
In the British who's Who" large
amount of space is taken up with the
enumeration of his accomplishment.
After his name comes half dozen
British orders, then many decorations
presented by various countries all over
the world, including the Cross Of the
Legion of Honor, the highest order OF
the French Republic.
Sir Robert Baden-Powell is ~ years
old. He can write and sketch equally
well with either hand. can perform at
skirt dancing, has won the Kadir Cup
for pig-sticking, has written 22 BOOKS.
been exhibited at the Royal Academy.
He was the defender OF Mafeking dur
ing the seige of 217 days.

questing the London Headquarters to
provide two elephants for their pageant
were. informed that the elephants will
be there. Requests for sheep, horses
and dogs also will be filled.
The number Of British Scouts who
will attend the camp has naturally
been strictly limited, and competition
has been warm for the honor Of repre-
senting a troop or district at the jam
boree.
The hosts are providing Interpreters
to aid Scouts Of different nationalities.
The universal Scout language. Jambo-
rese. will probably prove as useful as

River Postman of the Thames.

Every morning bright red rowboat
may be seen moving about the Thames
from London Bridge to Wrapping, pro-
matter to the boats anchored in the
stream. The weather has no influence
on his trips and often he has some
trouble In locating the vessel he de-
eires to visit. The craft often move
about so that where they were yester-
day does not mean that they are there
today. Aside from this, his operations
are often hampered by fogs, when he
is in danger of crashing into some YES
sci or being crashed into. This posi-
ton has been held by a member OF the
same family since 1906.
