COLLECTING NOT
 ATTRACTING BOYS
Survey Reveals Building Hobby Growing in
 Youth
ENCOURAGE COLLECTION

Has the habit of collecting things grown less attractive to the youth of the day? The Boys Club Fedora ton of America which embraces 25S Boys clubs in 134 cities with total membership of nearly 250.000 set about to learn whether boys would rather collect things or build things.
 Most boys, according to the studies made, rather build some such object as an airplane model or glider than collect things. However, stamp collecting, and the collecting of old coins, Is still very popular with boys.
 Some boys like to collect street car transfers. others are interested in autographs. Some boys collect cigar bands and some match holder covers A few collect cartoons. Some even collect buttons.
 While 1t is true that the collect ing of things still occupies much of the time of many boys. most boys would rather spend their uno ccu- pied time building things. especially radios toys. kites and the like. Boys clubs encourage the collect ing of stamps and coins because such collecting teaches geography. The clubs provide work rooms where the boys have access to wood and tols and can build things. The idea of Boys club is to take the underprivileged boy off the street and place him where the environment Is wholesome and where his energy can be utilized in | doing things helpful to the boy. | New boys clubs are springing up in cities everywhere. Local support for boys clubs Is not difficult to I obtain when it is seen how the clubs reduce the amount of juven- He crime.

Hoover Worried
 Over Philippines
(Continued from Page 1.)

lippines next month.
 The new congress. if Hoover doesn't settle the independence is- sue, may pass an independence bill which would place Mir Hoover in q difficult position. He would either have to veto the bill, be de- nouncing widely as an imperialist who was denying f-government to the Filipino people or else approve the measure. The last would give the islands independ- once, which he believes would teo- pardize their best interests, cut them adrift in the midst of their serious economic troubles and be unwise from the American point of view as well.
 The new congress is evenly dl- Vided. Democrats in 1928 as in previous conventions adopted a positive platform declaration ad- vocating Philippine independence.
 Recently numerous western re- publicans have swung over to in dependence because they believe it would result In putting the islands outside the tariff wall giving con sequent protection against Philip pine imports of sugar, cocoanut oil, tobacco and other products which now come in free from this dependency.
 Administration leaders say in the present situation. an 1ndcpen- dence bill can be carried In both houses.
 In view of this situation, Presi- dent Hoover asked Secretary Hur- -lye to cancel plans for summer trip to Ireland and go to the Phil ippines. Hurley leaves this week to sail from Seattle. August 8.
 Hurley vii be accompanied by Manuel Quezon, president of the Philippine senate and the foremost political figure on the islands. They have known each other more than 20 years. Quezon has been here for a series of conferences at at which 1t is believed the indi- pendence question has ebne dis, cussed with American officials.
 Roosevelt is regarded by Presi- dent Hoover as having made mo- table success as goevrnor of Por- to Rico. He selected Roosevelt as his first choice for the Philip pines because he believed that the same qualities which have won the confidence and enthusiasm of most Porto Ricans would operate to smooth out situation in the Philippines which has been rap- 61ly growing worse.
