man to put such a curb into the
motion was defeated on a point
of order, made by Representa-
tive Black, who declared that
no committee of the House
should predicate it's findings on
the action of the Senate.
During the course of the dis.
cussion Black charged that the
drys were satisfied when they
had the votes and the vets did
the talking, and added:
"Times have changed, how
ever. Now the vets have the
votes and the drys can make
speeches"
A little later Black charged
that it was quite evident that
the dryS are hoping by skull
duggery to hamper action by the
Senate on the Collier bill, and
urged the committee to stand by
the mandate Of the American
people and the Democratic plat
form.

He fixed that time as "well into
the coming year."

Addressing several thousand
Boy Scouts and their friends
at this camp deep in the Cat
skills, the chief executive prais-
ed the NRA and in simple Ian
guage explained it sprinciples to
his eager-faced audience.
81 am glad to see you have
adopted the NRA," the president
observed as the boys welcomed
him with banners emblazoned
with the blue eagle. "Soon all
are going to belong, the $780,
100000 people of this nation"
"The NRA," he said, "is based
on the same foundation as Scout
ing. 1t is trying to do something
for others instead of trying to
do the other fellow. 1t is based
or service to humanity and it is
going to work just as Scouting
has worked"
Mr.. Roosevelt spoke from his
automobile that had been driven
into a natural amphitheatre on
the ten thousand acre tract that
years ago, with other members
Of the N. Y. state Boy Scout
| foundation, he had set aside for
their use.
As a troop of mounted Scouts
approached, he laughingly re-
marked that at looks as if every
one has joined the cavalry"
The program of forest con-
servation now being carried out
by his army of 100000 youthful
woodsmen was referred to by the
president in praising the leader

youths taking care of forests,

things. l am told that in these
camps the boys who have had
Scout training are becoming the
leaders.
at is pretty fine tribute to
Scouting and what it has done
that we are developing the con.
servation camps along its lines. y
Mr.. Roosevelt received a rous-
ing welcome and an equally
vociferous send-off at the camp.
He drove 80 miles to this isolat,
