 Patrol Hikes
 In discussing patrol hikes it was brought out that for one thing they helped to develop patrol spirit. The patrol leader is the only one necessary to be in charge of the day hike but for an overnight hike it is always advisable to have an older man accompany the group. He may either be a scoutmaster, as- sistant, a troop committeeman or a father of one of the boys. He

Unless the hike leader knows just who is to bring each article of food, materials and other equipment something is sure to be left behind and the trip probably spoiled to some extent. It is to be impressed on the scouts that all are to be present to start at the appointed place, on time, with full equipment.

uct was still too outrageous for the

trouble. Logically, the Hawley Dill
must be taken as the ref1ectlon OF
President Hoover's own mind. The
men who framed it were In constant
conxultation with him and took a draft
of tlA kiu to the White House before
submitting it to the session of the
Representatives. 1t was the Hawley
bill that embraced the extension OF the
powers of the President under the
flexible tariff provision in direct re-
sponSe to the Presidents request.
Either President Hoover concurred
in the general revision that issued from
the Holse-more than 800 of the 900
tariff increases we're in the ways and
means committee report-or else the
House utterly and absolutely turned the
President down. The Hawley bill was a
general tariff revision, and the increases
on the whole were greater in this draft
than they were in the finance commit
tees production. In either case; the
presentation by Hoover's newspaper
friends that it was the wicked Senate
that became disrupted because of the
Senate's failure to keep within the
bounds set by the President demon

discipline of the House leaders over

GARAGE FOR
TRUCK FLEET
Ice and Fuel Company Has
Greatly Increased
Business.

Probably the largest private
garage under one roof in Indian
apolis recently has been completed
by the Polar Ice and Fuel Com
pany.
Increasing number of trucks used
by the company to supply ice and
coal to outlying districts made larger
facilities necessary to house this
equipment properly.
But this does not mean that good
old "Dobbin" has been replaced. AS
matter of fact, the company now
owns and urlses, including Kate and
Queen, 103 head of horses and mules.
Many of these faithful and intel
ligent animals know the location of
the company's customers on the re-
spective routes almost as we'll as do
the drivers.
Cubes Prove Popular
Polar ice cubes, delivered in white
parafined boxes, are becoming more
and more popular as the difference
in quality between the white opaque
cubes and Polar cubes becomes more
generally known.
For more than Shirty years the
company has followed policy Of
quality in all its products. In the
coal department, results of this
policy have been particularly graft
flying. The last year closed by far
the largest in point sales the COM
pany ever has experienced.
This applies as well to its ice
sales, which in spite of only a
moderate temperature last summer,
was the largest in the company's
history.
Builds Own RefrigeratOrs
Several years ago the company
recognized the necessity of furnish
ing better refrigerator at a moder-
ate price. A saleSroom was opened
at the Northwestern avenue branch.
RefrigeratorS built under the
company's own specifications are
furnished at practically factory cost,
plus small handling charge, as
an additional service to ice Gus
toners.
The Polar company owns and
operates plants in three other In
diana cities and has more than fifty
branch stations in Indianapolis and
surrounding communities.
