WHEELER'S BILL
A|NEDATCHILD
LABOR EVIL
International News Service

Declaring the child labor evil
can be eliminated by constitu-
tional legislation without packing
the Supreme Court Senator
Wheeler Cd, of Montana, today
sponsored a bill to provide Fed
eral aid to States which outlaw
sale of child-made goods.
Wheeler drafted his bill while
charging the Administration with
staging a legislative "sit-doWn
strike" until after Congress enacts
the Presidents bill to inject new
blood" into the Supreme Court.
Wheeler'S bill would compel the
labelling of "chnd-made goods"
and prohibit their shipment in in
terstate commerce into any State,
outlawing their sale.
He would base his bill upon
the principle, incorporated in the
new anti-prison goods bill, which
was held constitutional. 1t would
require each State, however, to
outlaw the sale of child-made
goods. instead of merely prohibit
ing employment of children in fac
tories. Such a proposed law is
pending in the New York legisla-
ture. Wheeler said:
Congress should go forward
now and enact legislation aimed
at achieving some of the Presi-
dents ObjectiveS. Instead, some
Administration officials act as
though they are on sit-dOwn
strike against all legislation un-
til the Presidents court plan is
enacted. 1 am convinced num-
Der of the Presidents Objectives
can be reached under the Con-
stitution by a careful drafting of
laws"

to keep the fire alive and Navajo In
dians put on tribal rites.
The fire will be fed and guarded by
eight Scouts from the American and
foreign sections on duty in shifts.
Among the logs are balsam, gum
wood, Oregon pine, redwood and in
cense cedar. Scouts carried one of
the logs 80 miles to railroad in the
Northwest. Bits of charry wood and
ashes from the fire are much sought
after as souvenirs.
The symbolism Of the perpetual
fire Of friendship was explained by
Col. Theodore Roosevelt at the recent
exercises. The campfire ceremony
has been a part of Scout traditions
for years.
The CHEEKY blaze of camp FIRE is
supposed to create friendship and good
will and to stimulate men to an ami
able discussion of their problems
The idea Of perpetual fire, Scouts
are told, originated in prehistoric
times, when cave men cherished a
precious fame, the extinction OF
which would mean hardship. hunger
and even death from freezing.
The Scouts at the two jamborees
will set an example of friendship and
understanding between the people ot
many lands, and the camp fires viii
be kept burning in the name of this
! spirit.

No More Swapping Sad Sign
At Camp of Swedish Scouts

"Swopsy" to his companions.
They gave him this title because
Of his inclination to trade or swap
anything with anybody on the slight
est provocation. In the few days he
has been in camp, however, all the
items he originally brought from Bal
timore have been traded of, and he
frantically has written his parents,
who plan to visit him in few days,
to bring him some more stuff.
His favorite is neckerchief slides,
his prize 50 far being one from Poland
He claims that every time he swaps
he gets the better Of the deal.
Scouts from Rhode Island brought
with them a famous New England
recipe for johnnycake, which they
used as basis for swapping" They
svapped johnnycake recipes for every
thing from tax tokens from States
having sales taxes to autographs.

Though they came to town with
definite troop numbers, the Boy
Scouts of America are beginning to
get nicknames from their compatrlots.
Thus, the Kentuckians have become
"The Kentucky Colonels."
The Connecticut boys are THE Nut

at the District OF Columbia troops
because several hundred Of the local
boys are wearing yellow kerchiefs to
designate them as guides
The Virginians are called Johnny

Maine and Vermont ooys are called

Some of the troops, OF course, bring
their own nicknames with them: for
instance, the Nebraskans, known as
THE Cornhuskers
The Iowa troops are called Tall
Grassers"
Mississippi boys are called Duck
Boaters." Why? Nobody knows.
1t just seems to be an old boyhood
custom to sling around nicknames.
The boys from Wisconsin are called
'Bunions"-perhaps after the Paul

Logs Unused on Fire Kindled
By Beard Will Go to Holland
Blaze Symbolising International
Friendship viii Be Lighted A gai,
at Second JambOree.

The camp fire lighted by Dan
Beard as symbol Of international
friendship will be kept burning during
the jamboree, and its unconsumed
logs will be taken to Holland and
rekindled for a fire to be tended
night and day during the second
jamboree.
The fire was kindled last Wednes-
day night with flint and steel in the
hands of the grand old man Of
Scoutdom." Since that time it has
been fed night and day by an honor
guard with chips and logs from all
4s States of the Union.
Unconsumed logs from the fire of
friendship will be taken abroad when
the American delegation leaves for
a jamboree at Voglenzang, which
opens July 80. Each section of Scouts
brought supply of their native timbe,
for the fire.
The logs were set ablaze in the
stadium during one OF the nightly
spectacles and transferred to raised
platform on the jamboree grounds moi

Eyes, and get more hay on the

may need it if it rains any more"
ANY more" exclaimed the Cali
fornian, we've already had enough
for two months"
The Californians devised most of
their camping equipment, which they
make at home. From muslin and light
canvas they cut tents and ground
covers. Their mothers stitch the
material and the Scouts waterproof
and color in vivid hues by dipping it
in mixture of ground paint, parafin
and gasoline.
Use KIondike Pack Frames.
They carry their bed rolls, tents
and equipment on pack frames de-
signed after those the gold miners
used when hoof1ng it into the Klon-
dixie.
The frames are made Of light ply
wood, rawhide thongs and broad
shoulder straps Of sheep skin with
the wool inside for padding The
frames distribute the weight and
provide air circulation across weary
back muscles.
Members OF the Oakland Troop
said they could pitch their 81 sleeping
tents, two leaders tents and cook tent
in 20 minutes.
Yeah" grinned an Eastern Scout,
"but that was back in Oakland Over
here, if you pitch camp in 20 min
utes, you may wake up in the morning

"Oh, yeah" retorted the Californian.
you've got pretty good country
over here for tadpoles!"
About 400 Californians got in lot
Of sightseeing on the way over. Some
came Northern, some Southern routes,
and they'll reverse the procedure on
the way home. Before the trip is
over they will have seen Northwestern
and Southwestern parks. New Orleans,

Charley didn't feel we'll at

zUPA JACOD0WA
IS GOOD TO EAT
It's BIueberry Soup, if You
Must KnoW-Foreign
Scouts Praise Cook.

Zupa jagodowa, koldolmar, poulet
saute marango. poe-this gives you an
idea Of what E. B. Chewing ran up
against when he took on the job Of
pleasing the palates of the foreign
contingents at the Scout jamboree.
To add to the confusion, Chewing
said. the English boys want coffee with
their meals-not tea, but coffee. Their
explanation was:
We're funny that way"
The Polish boys came up with
request for their favorite soup course
zupa jagodowa-which, translated lit
orally, means blueberry soup. Said
Chewing:
I've never heard OF blueberry soup,
but If that's what they want. they'll
get it."
Group Demands Koldolmar.
About the same time the Swedish
group put in a strong demand for kol-
dolmar, something that American
menus might list as cabbage q la
stuffed.
So yesterday the Polish and Swedish
boys had lunch together and invited
Chewing as guest of honor. The blue
berry soup was served Just like any
American soup course. The stuffed
cabbage was the piece de resistance.
For the United States housewife in
terested in blueberry soup, here's how
hor infn a
thin soup, strain, chill and season to
suit the taste. 1t Is served with zwie-
back-maybe you call them croutons-
and sour cream, sugar or macaroni.
Chewing said it was delicious.
The stuffed cabbage contains meats
chicken, pork, beef-and rice. And
did it please the Swedes? They prom
ised Chewing practically q whole
Scout uniform.
Favorite French Dish.
Today the French contingent will
be served one of its favorite dishes
poulet saute marango. which Is one
way of fixing chicken. Tomorrow the
Mexicans will have one of their native
meals and on Wednesday, the Ha-
waiians will have poe. Chewing said
he hadn't been instructed yet as to
| what poe Is or how to make it.
For the poulet saute marango, the
French Scouts promised Chewing q
beret. The steward already has re-
ceived a garrison cap from the Polish
youths and straw lid from the
Jamaica boys.
He's found the SiameSe Scouts like
rice and vegetables and fruit juices
particularly. When the French boys
can't have chicken the way they like
| it best, they prefer beefsteak and
French fried potatoes. And, of course
they brought their wine along with
them.

order-due to only one amplifier used

Fast as mothers report the loss of

turned So it seems. One mother
came in yesterday to describe her boy,
lost 10 minutes.
Here's a lost boy Scout from
the Midwest said.
That's my boy" the mother said,
and dried away her tears.
A father arrived at the lost and
found department just as his boy
came in the tent to report the loss
of his father.

The native sons Of California are

after several long, wet nights under

The lads from the sunshine coast
arrived in the rain, laid out their COM

sleep in the rain they have slept un.

The Scout campers had been ac-
customed to sleep on ground covers

the gentle California dew to guard
against.
In Washington, however, all that
was changed. The Scouts had to get

District Physicians.

Washington's medical fraternity is
pretty we'll represented at the Boy
Scouts jamboree. OF more than 200
doctors and assistants on duty at the
encampment, Washington counts
slightly more than half that number
Of physicians-all offering free serv-
ices to the Scouts.
In 20 sectional hospital units the
doctors give full-time service to the
25,250 Scouts-so that no boy need be
neglected. Fortunately, the doctors
have little to do, aside from the or
dmary run of medical care, for this
Is a healthy bunch OF boys-and all
had to pass rigid medical examina-
tions before they left home.
The job before the doctors here is
to protect the health and safety Of
the boys-precautionary medicine.
To make sure that nothing would
happen in the way Of an epidemic,
the Washington doctors, assisted by
Army and Navy physicians, made a
complete health check-up Of each in
dividual as he entered the jamboree
grounds.
