a thrown overheard for another
type9
The question was thrown into the
| whirl of the Jamboree Friday, when
at the tWenty-seventh annual meeting
OF the National Council, the Execu-
tive Committee of the Philadelphia
Council submitted resolution ask
ing that new Scout hat be devel-
| oped. since it is apparent that boys
do not care to wear the present Scout
hat"
An inqulring reporter yesterday put
that question to a cross section OF
the national encampment and found
l. Considerable sentiment in favor of
new hat.
2. Some sentiment for making hats
optional as part of the Official Scout
uniform
A member of the general staff Of
the jamboree. who asked that his
name not be used, said
In the fret place. the hat is a
nuisance. It's always getting in the
way. and the only time it comes in
handy for me is during a rain, when
1t acts as a good umbrella"
Favors Visor-Type Cap.
While most of the interviewed who
dislike the present hat could offer
no ideas for substitute topper. this
man said he had definite idea as to
new kind
Have you seen what the Polish
boys are wearing? That's what I'd
like to see in use. They are small
garrson-type caps. with visors. They
look neat and they won't get in the
way"
The resolution submitted by the
Philadelphia group also asked con-

tlonal part of the official Senior Scout
uniform
Shorts were agreed upon as the on
cial uniform for the jamboree. but

be worn by Senior Scout Leaders and
officers.
A number OF those interviewed felt
that long trousers should be made
optional, but as many others were Of
the opinion that Senior Scout dress
should be the same, for the sake Of
appearance.
Donald Conover, Il, Brookline
Troop OF Philadelphia, would like a
nat with wider brim, breeches for
the younger boys but 'longies" for
older Senior Scouts.
Ralph Wilson of Beaumont, Tex,
was emphatic in his belief that some
new kind of hat should be devised

that they won't hold their shape. get
fuzzy and don't last. Why, all the
boys in my section Of the country
dislike them. When we start out on
hike, they ask: Do we have to
wear the hats? Take this hat have.
I've only worn it few days, and it
already Is out Of shape"
Wilson's troop chief, S. F.. Foster
was OF the same opinion. He said
his boys would rather not wear any
hats at all

port of the Corporation Counsel of
the City of New York would be a
dull document, but my friend Paul
Windels has made it a truly fas-
cinating story of public service.
The following paragraph in it, how
ever, made me stop, look and listen.
1.-The chief function of the leg
islative division continues to be a
determined and continued opposi-
ton to the host of bills introduced
each year lat Albany which are
inimical to the best interests of the
City of New York"
This mean that the City of
New York's chief law officer con-
ceives it as part of his duty to see
that lobbying" is continuously
and effectively carried on in the
interests of his bosses, the tax pay
ers. He is absolutely right, OF
course.
Then why isn't an officer of an
industrial corporation equally right
in considering hat he has a duty
to present to members Of the legis-
lature or Congress the arguments
against any piece of legislation
which threatens the interests of his
bosses, the stockholders?
Once, for a period of a week, I
myself was a lobbyist. A certain
measure was proposed which would
have been harmful to, the publish
ing business, and a group of us
went to Washington.
One Senator said: "You gentle.
men do us a service. by coming
down here. So many thousand bills
are introduced that we cannot pos
sibly know about all of them. The
only way we can prevent an unin>
territorial injury is through getting
would be hurt"
Legislators are the servants of
the people, not their bosses. Even.
"a cat may look at a king"-and
ever a taxpayer ought to have a
right to look at and talk to a SEN
ator.

The VAST majority of the farmers
tesllre that the value in soil i'm,
rroven7ent and farm management
learned from the new "AAA"
really ourweighed, to a great ex-
tent, the payments.
The money is slated to be distri-
bured during what is stated to be a
rather trying time with he farmers
in his county. The cotton crop has
been off this season and other crops
have been raised in the face Of a
rather tough situation. In some
sections it will be necessary to give
ten1nt farmers some form of relief.
The payments will begin imme-
diarely and after the farmer has
received his notification he will
obtain his check through the coun-
" agents office.
The soil conservation program
has enjoyed a more successful reign
this past year than the popular
"AAA" did in 1855. The rulings
are simpler yet the results are said
to be better for all concerned.
Speculation is already rife as to
what 1857 holds for the farmers
in the way government benefits
