COURT HOLDS
BOY SCOUTS
NOT INVOLVED

Demurrers filed by the Boy
Scouts of America ana the In
perial-Yuma Council against the
damage action brought by Harold
P. and Harold S. Young were sus-
tanned without leave to amend by
Judge McPherrin in superior court
yesterday.
Plaintiffs had brought action
against the Boy Scout groups as
the result of an accident on Janu-
airy 13, 1894, in which Harold P
Young, a minor, was injured. Dam
ages asked were $4,000 by Harold
p. Young and S2,3O5.50 by Harold
S. Young.
The complaint alleged that on
the evening of January 13 of this
year while on a bicycle tour with
the Calexico troop Of Scouts, Har-
old P. Young was injured seriously
when run into by two Mexicans in
an automobile as the troop was
returning home, about IL miles
northwest of Calexico. Negligence
was charged against Harry Web
ster. scoutmaster Of the troop, and
against the Imperial council and
the national organization.
In the demurrer it is stated that
apparently, the direct and proXi-
mate cause of any injury received
by Harry Young was through the
negligence and fault of certain
third persons and not of Harry
Webster. Also it is maintained
that the complaint fails to show
facts that would create any liabil-
ity or responsibility of the Boy
Scouts of America in the affair
The chief argument brought be-
fore the court was that the Scout
master was not connected with the
national organization and for that
reason any alleged negligence of
his could not reflect on the ma
tional organization as he was not
the agent of that body. The Scout
master, it was pointed out, is an
unpaid, voluntary worker selected
by the institution sponsoring a
certain troop and not by the local
or national council of the Boy
Scouts. This opinion was sustained
by the court in its judgment.
There has been some apprehcn-
sion among residents Of the ccun-
ty as to the liability which might
be incurred by the Imperial coun~
Gil in such matters and this appre"
hension was reflected in the mat
ter of returns being made in the
county campaign for funds to be
used by the council.
This court judgment it was stat
cd this morning, clears up the mat
ter of liability completely and there
need now be no fear as to the liza
bility of either the national or To-
cal council in future actions of
this kind.

United Press Staff Correspondent
! WASHINGTON, Dec. IA U.P) -
IThe American Federation of Labor
today asked President Roosevelt to
make Section IA of the National
Industrial Recovery Act collective
/ bargaining) a part of the nations
| permanent law.
! The recommendation together
with other important phases bear
! ing on a permanent NRA as af-
! fecting labor also were placed on
Mr.. Roosevelt'S desk at the same
time by William Green. president
of the A. F. of L.
Green asked that provisions be
made in the new NRA set up for a
continuance of the provision for
maximum hours and minimum
rates of pay; that unfair trade
practices be opposed and that the
ban on child labor be carried for
ward indefinitely
He also opposed the suggestion
that the administration of codes be
turned over to private industry, in
sisting upon government regula-
ton.
Asks Representation
Green asked for labor representa-
ton upon code authorities and also
equal labor representation on all
administration boards.
The labor chief in discussing his
White House visit said that the or
ganized workers favored a new NRA
to replace this one when the present
act expires next June.
In connection with his appeal for
continuation of Section IA, he eX-
planned that labor felt as it now
stands it provides for collective bar
gaining and that the National Labor
Relations Board is making proper
interpretations of it. He asked that
it be continued in its present farm.
Green said he also laid before the
President without comment a copy
Of the resolution adopted by the
american Federation of Labor re-
questing an inquiry into the fitness
of Clay Williams to serve as chair
man of the NRA board.

Only motor oil made In the West by

TRIToN's quality proved by 25o, 200
miles Of stock car rood tests.

AFTER years of research Union Oil Company

This process makes il possible TO extract from
California crudes 1000 pure parafin.base motor

bons called parafbene, which are known to be
the most efficient of all motor lubricants
These parathenes are found in varying guam.
titles in every crude from which motor oil is made
Eastern or Western. Along with the paratbsnes
are also found certain undesirable elements, such
as wakes, asphalt, and low-grade oils that form
excessive amounts of carbon and sludge.
Operating at temperatures down to 10 degrees
below zero the PROPANE solvent process re.

OF all the many high grade oils we have tested
TRITON alone is composed only of Ioo'6 pure

in TRITON.
TRITON is the only Motor Oil made on the
Pacific Coast by the PRoPANE solvent process.
HOW TRITON BENEFITS youi
In addition TO countless laboratory comparisons
with other oils, TRITON was tested in more
than 100000 miles of stock car road and speed

That TRITON Ouflasfs-gives more miles per

of driving TRITON changes viscosity less than

COLD MOTORS START EASIER

Due TO its freedom from Carbogens and other
low gravity materials, TRITON retains its fluid.

ALL-STARS SHADE
BEARS IN % TILT
Guido Pros in All Except
Passing Before 10000.
Laws Is Brilliant.
BY WILLIAM WEEKS,

@HIcAGo. September 1.-The
professional champion Chi
Y cago Bears and 10000 foot
ball fans are wondering today
what q band of "a stars from last
years college foot ball teams could
do if they had berth in the National
League.
The players who roamed to fame
and glory over college gridirons in
1888, gave a large sample last night
by holding the Bears, rulers of the
professional foot ball world for the
past two years, to scoreless tie at
Soldier Field.
The Bears found themselves out
unanswered in everything but for
ward passing.
Miss Chances to Score.
EACH team had chances to score,
r. but forward passes, intercepted
or batted down by agile defenses,
and fumbles, wrecked them, The
All-Stars tried twice to connect by
place kicks, but Bill Smith, former
University of Washington end, missed
from the 40 and AZ yard lines. The
Bears brightest opportunity came in
the final period when Wayland
Becker, pro end, blocked a punt by
Bob Jones, former Indiana all-around
gridiron man, and recovered on the
Stars 1872 yard line.
The bid was abruptly halted by Joe
Laws, Iowa's brilliant quarterback of
last season. who intercepted what was
meant to- be a touchdown pass. He
grabbed the ball behind his own goal
line and ran it out IL yards, from
where Herman Everhardus, one of
Michigan's Big Ten championship
aces, sent a 50-yard punt booming
down the field.
Makes Brilliant Run.
r Avs also contributed the prize
run, a 24-yard dash off tackle,
in the third period. Laws, with
Everhardus and Mike Mikulak of
Oregon, were the stars of the stars.
Bill Hewitt, George Corbett and Eddie
HAWAI- stood out in the Bear lineup
The stars collected six first downs to
three for the Bears, two on penalties.
They outgained their professional
rivals, 1856 yards to 81 by rushing and
had the advantage in punting, averag-
ing BAL yards, to 31.4 by the Bear
hooters. Only in forward passing did
the Bears overshadow the ex-
collegians.

Ross Does Own
Fistic Thinking
NEW YORK, September Bar

NEW YORK, September Bar
IN ney Ross is one fighter who
does his own thinking. He will
listen quietly, respectfully, and then
put into practice what he has
heard Unless the point has a
definite value and fits into his style
of boxing, he quickly discards it
and works on a different idea. That
is why he is a double crown holder
today.
Day after day, Barney used to
sit in e. dressing room with Jackie
Fields and listen to everything the
then welterweight champion used
to tell him. The value of this adj
vice is noticeable in every move
Barney makes. The way he paws
his left and then hooks with it is
distinctly a Fields method.
The way he backs away when an
opponent has the upper hand and
then strikes back swiftly with short
punches to the head also is char
acteristic Of Jackie Fields.
No one had to smarter him up
mentally.
