of the Boy Scouts of America. Gov ernor John w Troy today issued the following statement:
 We should all stop minute to realize that in our midst we have several groups of Boy Scouts who with all the Boy Scouts or the Ter ritory and States, are celebrating the Twenty-eighth Anniversary of the incorpora ton of the Boy Scouts of America.
 An American citizen, William D Boyce of Chicago, was in London in 1909 and, being lost in the fog a boy approached him and asked if he could be of any assistance. MT Boyce told the lad the address he was seeking. Upon arrival at the ad- dress Boyce wished to tip the boy for his service. The boy replied, "A Scout does not take tips for good turn. MT. Boyoe further talked with the Scout, and met the English leader, Robert Baden-Powell, and brought to America information and literature about the Boy Scouts. On February g. 1910, the Boy Scouts of America was incorporated--28 years ago today.
 AS way toward world peace the Boy Scouts of the world, through the World Jamborees, are doing a fine peaceful work At such Jam boree there are forty foreign coun- tries gathered together for two weeks of camping and fellowship.
 Our three hundred Scouts in the Territory are taking part in this, the Twenty-eighth Anniversary of the Boy Scouts, and we as citizens should give our moral support to this citizenship training and char acter building organization, the Boy Scouts of America"

LONDON, July 6.-Revelation
of the name of the society gentle
man in London" whom Count
Haug witz- Reventlow allegedly
wanted to "shoot like a dog"
was seen today as a possibility
when the count opens his defense
July 13 in the sensational legal
conflict with Countess Barbara.
The gentleman" who was said
to be the counts prospective pis-
tol target, according to most reli-
able accounts, is one of the most
eligible" bachelors in Europe, If
not in the entire world. He was
introduced to Countess Barbara by
a relative nearly a year ago.
After her first serious quarrel
with the count, Barbara saw the
gentleman" from time to time,
but friends say he was far more
interested in her than she in him.
Although they became good
friends, it was stressed that
Barbara was not thinking Of
marrying.
The gentleman" on the other
hand, kept in touch with the
troubled countess, expressing sym
pathy and offering assistance.
Although the former, Barbara
Hutton'S startling charges against
the moody Dane yesterday rocked
society, there were indications
they were merely hors d'oeuvreS
for more astounding revelations
to come.

the Rockville Pike, north of

boundary at George E. Hamilton's

ward as far as the Columbia Coun.
try Club, is favorably considered.
VISITS SITE
Choice of the site has not been
officially announced, but the
President made an unannounced
visit to the location, starting from
the White House at $40 p. m.

by Rear Admiral P. M. Rossiter.

and Surgery, U. s. NJ, and DR.. Ross
T. McIntire, his navaLaide physi-

The President and Admiral
RosSiter were favorably impressed

disturbances accompanied by
heart ailments.
Owners of dogs suffering from
the aforementioned conditions,
should consult a veterinarian
who will attempt to regulate the
animals diet and suggest a
workable plan best suited for
proper exercise.
Let me emphasize that I con.
slider it possible to effect a cure
for this vexing problem only
when the owner definitely de-
cides to follow the explicit di-
rectionS of one who has studied
the many perplexities which will
arise in almost any case.
In conclusion, let me add that
usually it is impossible to give
advice as to what is sometimes
enormously described as a "bal-
anced diet" for any animal with.
out being aware of not only its
family history, but also the par
ticular conditions under which
it is living. It Is sufficient to say
that without an examination,
one can only say that the major.
ity of pets would be better off
were they to receive less carbo.
hydrates and fats and more
nitrogenous foods in their diet.
However, exercise must too be
considered and the facilities for
receiving same.

Generally speaking, the
smaller breeds such as the Bos-
ton bull, poodle, Pom" and
other toy and terrier types often
suffer excruciating pain during
this period Of the year. Larger
CANNES such as the Doberman
Pinscher, Airedale, Great Dane
and Shepherd species seem more
able to weather the summer heat
and humidity so prevalent in
Washington and nearby Mary
land and Virginia.
Although sterilization, of either
male or female, often has a
tendency to make them fat and
change their disposition from
alertness to laziness when oper-
ated upon after m a turity,
younger dogs are seldom changed
in this way.
Another chief factor in ex-
cessive fat accumulation is a diet
Of cakes, candies and other such
sweets which are not utilized
by the body. OF course, one of
the main reasons for the al
most elephantine size of many
dogs, particularly city ones, is
lack Of exercise or receiving
what little they get on the end
Of a short leash. Although
obesity seldom occurs to dogs
which are fed and exercised
properly, their diets should con-
tain as near as possible, q bal
anced ration Of proteins, carbo-
hydrateS and minerals having
all the vitamins necessary for
their well being.
This lack of symmetry often
observed by fatty deposits about
the neck, shoulders and abdo-
men and general lazineSs on the
part Of the pet are common
symptoms of this disorder. It is
not unusual to find digestive
