New Way Over Hurdle

The idea, of course, is to promul. gate the law as a soil conservation measure. Soil conservation has been 8 legitimate objective of the na- tional government for years
 Then you operate the soil con- servation program in such way as tc accomplish about the same things which the old AAA was accomplish ing--that is, balancing crops with consumption.
 A new twist was added to this effort to make the new AAA court proof by Senator Logan of Ken- lucky. He added to the purposes of the bill protection of rivers and harbors against the effects Of soil erosion"
 The point is that states, be they never so touchy about their rights. have never objected to the federal government coming in and spending millions in dredging out their har- bors and rivers.
 So, the senators figure that if one of the objects they say they're work ing toward in the new farm legis- lation is to improve rivers and har- bors, that might help to get over the supreme court hurdle.

Buckingham Palace was built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 and purchased by King George Third in 176l. Ever since, it has been the main London residence of royalty.
 After Queen victoria's marriage to the German Prince Albert, he conceived the idea of @ real home far away from the crowds and the cities. So in 1s48 they bought Bal- moral Castle in Scotland with 25,- 900 acres of ground around 1t, mainly given up to deer. Queen Victoria's son, later King Edward VII, while still Prince of Wales wanted g. home he could call his very own. So in 1870 he purchased 2500 acres in Norfolk county and built Sandringham.
 The present king, in looking around for his own particular home, chose Fort Belvedere. It is situated In Windsor Great Park, about 23 miles from London, and 50 IS easy of access by car from London.

Agencies Cooperate to
 Observe the Event . in March

Dayton, Ohio, Feb. 20-Plans are developing rapidly for the observ- ance of a Builders Week." which will probably be held In March. New construction will be the theme of the observance, which will be fea- tured by 6 weeks display of appli- ances, building materials, etc., in the windows of Dayton's leading mercliantilc establishments.
 Coordinating their efforts for this occasion will be the retail ner- chants, the financial institutions, the American Institute of Archi- tects, the civic organizations, the building supply dealers and build- CTS, and all others interested in construction and moderni2ation.
 The Federal Housing Administra- ton will maintain an information booth at all strategic centers. The merchants during that week will tic in their newspaper advertising for the benefit of the building industry especially those members whose appropriations will not at this time permit expenditures for advertis- ing.

 Three Aides Expected to Stay.
 The accession of Edward the Eighth to the throne will be the cause of some changes in the household which helps serve the sovereign. But 1t is universally be- lieved that three men, who have been with him for years, will sin- ply transfer their activities rom Fort Belvedere, and from St. James's Palace where the then Prince of Wales maintained bachelor guar. ters, to Buckingham.

Plans and preparations are near ly completed for the Boys Clubs first annual Open House Day to be held Saturday, Washington's Birth- day.
 The program will open in the morning at 9:30 o'clock, and will last until 800 o'clock at night.
 Invitations and programs have been extended to all members for their friends and families to witness the activities of the day and eve- ming. However, the public is invited to attend, as there will be no ad- mission.
 One of the features of the af- ternoon will be the boxing bouts be- tween the Junior and Intermediate boys of the club. There are four bouts already lined up, featuring Sam 'Popeye" Amadalina vs. Ernest Greece in the 60 pound division; Irish Red" Mahoney vs. Alfred Haddad in the 85 pound class; Dan K. o" Sharkey vs. John DAngelo in the 90 pound pairing; and Tom D'Ambrosi .vs. Sam Coretto at lSS pounds.
 At 400 o'clock the both winners of the first and second rounds Of the Senior House League will meet in @ basketball game to decide the championship of the club in the senior division.
 This will bring together Joe Mo- bile's Old Timers against Francis Sheehey's Sacred Heart Combine. The Sacred Hearts are the youngest team in the league, so Saturdays game will be another settlement between youth and old age.
 The Boys Clubs Chess Club, Ro- ka by name, will be in readiness to crown the wizard of the club after the afternoons play during Open House. Sixteen members of the club

Bad Election Year Task

But you may be sure that moth. ing will be done this year toward an accurate national listing and census of the unemployed. Bad election year business.
 Someday, however, an increasing number of government officials feel that 1t must be done, on the princi- pie that before you can accurately determine where you're going, you must first know where you're at."
 Another example of this vague. ness of knowledge of elementary data came up in debate on new alien laws i'm the senate. It was Senator Reynolds of North Caro-. lina who pointed out that nobody knows how many aliens there are
 in the country, let alone how many of them are here illegally.
 For instance, the commissioner oi immigration estimates that the number of aliens illegally in the country is less than 100000. But one New York city official estimates there are 300,o00 in his city alone.
 The near-impossibility of pre- venting the illegal entry of aliens is shown by the fact that 10000, ,00O people cross the land borders of the country every year. That includes commuters, tourists, and the like but in SO great e shoal 1t would be unusual if there were not some strange fish.

Makes People Think

It would be inaccurate to say that the adverse supreme court decisions raised the public clamor of protest that inner New Dealers hoped it would. Spontaneous public clamoi was strangely absent.
 But plenty of thoughtful people are thinking, both ways. which Is at least an improvement over the former tendency to consider the court bIindly as something some. how superhuman. More than 90 proposals are pending In congress to modify in some way the powers of the court
 There is almost no chance of modification in this session of con- gress. After the November elections, perhaps, but not now.
 Hence, frantic efforts must be made to frame the new AAA sub- stitute in terms that may be made to agree with the present courts interpretation of the Constitution.

vate Secretary. They joined his staff shortly after he set up Q see parate household of his own and have been with him ever since. Theirs has been frictionless team work that has saved him much time and many aggravations. In themselves the three represent three great branches of government ser- vice--Halsey, the navy. Trotter, the army and Thomas, the Foreign office.
 Halsey Is Naval Hero.
 Sir Lionel Halsey is Q veteran naval officer with c distinguished record. He was detached for land service in the Boer war and assisted in the defense of Ladysmith an 1899 and 1900. Tn 1919 he coni- manded the battleship New Zealand in her empire cruise, and later in tho naval battles of Heligoland Eight and Dogger Bank. He was one of the stan of Admiral Jellicoe on the Iron Duke in the famous naval battle of Jutland. Later he was made Third Sea Lord and from 1918 to 1920 was in command Of the Australian Navy. He accompanied the then Prince of Wales on foreign tours, acting as Chief of Staff. He has been Comptroller and Treasurer of the Princes household since 1920. He will probably ultimately fulfil the same duties for King Ed- ward with the title of Keeper of the Privy Purse.
 Trotter Keeps Away Bores.
 General Gerald ?. Trotter. oom-in-Waiting to the then Prince of Wales, has ever since 1920 been his alter ego. Where the Prince was, there, too, was General Trotter. The gray-haired, gray moustached, one-armed soldier SEW to 1t that bores were kept ct Q dis- tance from his royal employer. Born in 1871, General Trotter serv- ed in the Boer war and the World War. In the winter of iei7.1e he headed British military mission to the United States.
 Sir Godfrey Thomas is 6 Welsh man, born in 1889, tenth holder Of Q baronetcy created in i694. He be- came attached to the diplomatic service in i9i2 and was made one of the secretaries at the foreign office in 1914. He became assistant private secretary to the Prince of Wales in 1919 and, since 1921, has been private secretary. The private secretary to the late King George was Lord Wigram. It is thought he wil shortly retire. Then Sir 0od- frey will be coume chief private secretary to his old master, the new king.

Washington, Feb. 20-In Q world in which the statistician and ac- countant are looming larger every day, 1t is marvellous that 50 little Is known about certain very important things.
 For instance, every legislative effort to cope with relief and re. employment must hang on one bit of information. How many unem- ployed are there?
 And the answer, with all the elaborate statistics that come flood ing out of statistics machines daily Is simply this: Nobody knows.
 The American Federation Of Labor and the national industrial conference board make periodic estimates, usually agreeing within a couple of million. But they can be little better than intelligent Ruesses. Nobody knows.
 That is why Q census of unenn- ployment has been periodically pro- posed, perhaps as national WPA project. Hugh Johnson had pet plan to use voting booths in every precinct in the country as register ing places for the unemployed, just as they were used during the war for draft registry.
