EUGENE HAT DOOMED BY
TOO MUCH POPULARITY

winter collections of wearing
apparel, the couturiers could not
afford to switch definitely to
another mode without creating
another revolution from which
they would doubtless not emerge
alive. They have stuck valiant
ly to their hat stories but are
now making sequels that show
a more varied trend than the
ver-the-eye- off the-ear m d.
els.
Patou has come to the rescue
with his square-crowned crop of
bonnetts that may be given the
definite personality of their wearer
They still use fine feathers as their
trimming but the brims are brim-
ful and something different. They
turn here and there. They are
whimsical, elusive but not elabor-
ate.
Rather than the ostrich plume
now purchased for a pittance-
Patou, along with few other Par
isian designers of haut couture
prefer the osprey. The feathery
consistency of the plumage is that
of spun cotton in fine silk.
The Eugene nat will not be for
saken over night, but the choicey
circles are easing" away from il

WATER PROGRAM
TEACHES SCOUTS
EXPERT Swimming

During the year 1890, 23,273 Scouts
were taught to swim at Boy Scout
camps, according to the report OF
/ Fred c. Miller, directcr of swim
ming and water safety Of the Boy
! Scouts of America. This is an in
/ crease OF some 200 over the number
who learned tc swim at Scout
camps in 1929, and establishes
new record
1t is doubtful whether any one
other organization is responsible for
such widespread swimming instruc-
ton rs is credited to the Boy Scouts
OF America
The intensive swimming campaign
Of the Boy Scouts of America was
set in motion by DR.. James e West,
Chief Scout Executive, in 1924, in
cooperation with w. T. LongfelloW
of the Red Cross. Since that time
l22,976 Scouts have been taught TO
swim and 40l6 Boy Scouts have
passed the stiff requirements of the
Scout Life Guard test. These re-
Quirements combine the difficult
swimming and life saving methods
OF the American Red Cross. the
boys must demonstrate ability to
make a rescue with boats and 9TH
er equipment. They must also have
q working knowledge of water
front" protection and of methods
Of water accident prevention. Boys
must also be able in some degree
to teach swimming in order to OBJ
tain the rating.
In 1929 Boy Scouts earned 2o,S30
swimming merit badges ard 1893
earned the lie saving merit badge
The figures for 1880 will be even
higher. More than so Boy Scouts
were awarded the Boy Scout Gold
Honor Medal FOR life saving in 1880,
for saving lives at the risk of their
cwn. The majority OF these were is
sued for Life saving il water acci-
dents.
Mills is the originator of the
"Puddy System" the use of which
greatly increased during the year
It provides that nobody in a Boy
Scout camp ma" so swimming ex-
cept at stated periods and then only
with another boy designated as his
buddy who must be constantly with
him on land or in The water. \
6heckup IS made during swimming
periods and when the directors
whistle blows, unless each boy is
with his buddy. MS swimming priv
ileges are revoked. All Boy Scouts
are given a careful physical test
before being accepted in 4 Boy
Scout camp hence the likelihood Of
water accidents IS lessened.
