MT. Babson becomes effective his position here will be most decided advancement. Waterbury at the present time has an enrolment of I.010 scouts and this number stands to be increased with addi- tiona troops now being formed. Many of the Catholic churches in the city have already made ar arrangements with the local counci for the formation of troops. in particular St. Thomas and st. Cecelia's where activities along these lines have already begun. Other troops are now being con- sidered at St. Patrick's and the Immaculate Conception churches and the local council believes that their enrolment will reach the to- ta of 1,500 within the next few months.
 One of his outstanding achieve ments since taking over his Hol- yoke duties has been the organiz- ing of 8 troop at the Brightside 6 Institute for orphan boys. He also arranged the first of what has be- come an annual sportsman's show. It is generally understood that the local committee singled Mir. Babson from among many applicants due to these and other community ac- tivities.
 His first affiliation with scouting was in Rockport, Mass, where he was born. He attended the public and high schools at Rockport and later attended Mount Hermon school for boys. He completed his education at Harvard University.
 Prominent among others who were under consideration by the Waterbury Council of Boy Scouts was Clinton B. Rose, now chief of the Bloomfield, N. J., council.
 Twenty-two of the thirty-two members of the local jamboree scouts heard President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his address to the scouts of the nation last night. The boys gathered at the scout house at the First Congregational church for a corn roast at 6:SO o'clock and this was followed with a camp fire conclave. The presidents ad- dress was heard at S:45 o'clock. The scouts cheered the message of the president especially when he informed them of his regret that the Jamboree in Washington. D. C., had to be cancelled but that ef- forts will be made to arrange for a suitable substitute. Dr. James E. West joined in the same hope.
 Among those present last night were John M. Burrall, chairman of the Waterbury Roy Scout Coun- ell, Frederick s. Smith, a member of the jamboree committee, Milton Huffman, scoutmaster of the jam boree troop, Kostantos valukas, as- sistant scoutmaster and Milton Burrall, chairman of the local camping committee.

worth, lost m 'the Antarctic wastes
since November zt promises to add
another notable chapter to one OF
the most brilliant careers in trans
port aviation.
Merrill is regarded as one OF the
country'si most successful and capable
transport pilots and most Of his repu-
tation has been made pushing the
night airmail and, during recent
years, the big transport airliners
through Washington on the coastal
airmail line.

Merrill has become almost legend

the local airmail route. His battles

days before radio beacons, radio COM

other aids to bad-weather flying rank

Though Merrill has always been re-
garded as one of the best bad-weather
flyers in the airmail service, he has
not always escaped trouble One of
his closest calls came when TWO East
ern Air Transport night mail planes
were trapped in an unexpected fog
1T ao,.lNy
in the morning of March 25, 1880.
In those days the mail was carried
in little open-cockpit biplanes, the
last of which has disappeared for
ever from mail duty.
Merrill, en- route to Washington
from the South, took off from Green's
boro, N. c., just after midnight and
his fellow pilot. Verne E. Treat. now
retired, had taken of from Boiling
Field few minutes earlier for Rich
mond when the fog rolled in and
blotted out the ground.
Both pilots began searching for
openings through which they could
land. Treat finally was forced to take
to his parachute when, after hours
of searching, he ran out of fuel. He
landed on the historic battlefield of
Sharpsburg, Md, his plane crashing,
The mail was saved.
Merrill also cruiSed for hours and
was also about to abandon ship and
take to his parachute when, just as
his fuel supply began to give out, he
spied thinning patch in the fog by
the light of early dawn. Cautiously
circling down, at times completely
blinded, Merrill finally set his ship

FARM LAND BOOM
NOT ALARMING
Brokers and Officials Give
Views Following Warn

ey the Associated Press.
DIES MONIES, iowa, December IA
No cause for any immediate alarm
over q farm belt land boom-a pros
pect which recently evoked warning
from Secretary wallace-was noted
today by land brokers and officials,
who contributed their views TO a
survey.
They agreed Midwestern land prices
had increased roughly 10 to 80 per
cent in the last year and that pur-
chases were more frequent.
But although some of the buyers
were investors and even spectators,
they said the bulk Of the purchases
were by farmers.
Secretary Wallace in his statement
termed land speculation "a plague
more terrible than drought or insect
pests" and advised against allowing
the activity of city folks" to excite
farmers into bidding against each
other. He suggested the desirability
of some measure, such as an income
tax law amendment, to take the profit
Wv VA 4eAAAA okSN0ASSSAOAA'
Some Agree With Wallace.
Pointing to the rise in the farm
price level to 100 per cent of pre-war
level in October, there were Mid
westerners-in view of its reputed sig-
nificance as a major price lifting
infiuence-who agreed with Wallace
One economist even went him one
better. Oliver R. Johnson, head oi
economics at the University of Mis-
souri,, said he saw in the elements in
the present price rise, not only a mild
but wild boom, dead ahead.
Iowa State College economists de-
clared that though Iowa is not now
in a land boom, the present situation
might easily develop into boom il
farmers should begin competing with
each other for land. Iowa farmers
will be wise to remember what hap
pened in 1919 and 1920, and not bid
against each other"
But the majority of brokers and
credit officials saw no reason for rails
ing a warning flag.
treasurer Of the Federal Land Bank
at st. Louis, declared land values
have risen steadily and consistently
following farm commodity price rises
However, we are a long way from a
land boom, as land prices have not
yet reached pre-war normal"
Indications Lacking.
From George S. Gordhammer, eX-
ecutive vice president and treasurer
of the ST. Paul Federal Land Bank
came the opinion, there is nothing to
indicate a land boom in the making
at the present time"

danger of land boom. The i'm
provement in Minnesota is coming
gradually, as it has in the past 10
months. Only one thing would bring
a boom, and that would be develop
ment of a general European war.
"Ninety-five per cent of the land is
going back to bona f1de farmers. and
only a small percentage is being
bought for investment purposes"
The improvement in farm prices, a
belief that land values have hit bot
tom and were on the rebound, and
investment as protection against pos
sible imitation were assigned as major
reasons for the land price increase.

In Size and ROome

For 1886, all manufacturers Of low

not a single low priced car

GANDH| EXPECTED

ership in New Indian
Federation.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, August 5.--'rhe Mahatma
Gandhi was considered by British cir
cles today to have a great oppor-
tunity for a comeback in the new
All-Indian Federation.
All Indian parties are looking for
ward eagerly to the formation Of the
federation, being created under au-
thority of the India law recently en-
acted by Parliament, for self-govern-
ment Of that ancient land.
Offlcials expressed doubt, however,
that the wiry little ascetic, who re-
tired to the background after strug-
Cling long for India's independence,
would re-enter politics.
They felt that the Mahatma would
press on in his social and economic
program for betterment of the masses,
but that he would leave political af-
fairs to others.
Another prominent Indian figure
the brilliant Jawaharlal Nehru, now
in Jail for subversive activities-was
expected to seek political power in
the new India.
Nehru wants left government, an
an-1ndian government, with the
British kicked out.
Strong organizing efforts have yet
to be made by Britain to get the new
federal system in shape. There are
hundreds of languages and dialects,
castles and minority groups. all of
which must be welded into a workable
community to enjoy the considerable
measure of self-government granted
India by the act of Parliament.
