Maryland's ten-week muskrat trap
ping season ended last week, with
the value of this years crop of hides
estimated at more than 100000.
E. Lee LeCompte, State Game War
den, said reports had been received
of more than 100000 hides and that
large trappers have stores of skins
which they will sell as the price i'm

Fur dealers estimated that Dorches-
ter county already had furnished $780,
900 hides; Somerset 100000 and Kent
10000. These are furs which already

include furs still held by trappers.

that he uses at his home Scout Camp
and similar to the popular uniform
worn by thousands of Scouts at the

SCOUT MEMBER
Can APPLY FOR
SERVICE CAMP

Any qualified member of the Boy
Scouts of America may apply for an
opportunity to take part in a unique
demonstration and service camp at the
New York Worlds Fair, DIR. James E.
West, Chief Scout Executive of the
National Council, Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, has announced. The plan for a
Scout camp of approximately $50 diff
ferent Scouts and leaders each week,
on a two-acre site with the Fair
grounds from April 80 to October 81,
was approved by formal action of the
managers of the Worlds Fair Cor
poration and the National Council,
Boy Scouts of America.
The camp, to be located Immediately
adjacent to the Federal Building, will
accommodate four Troops of 80 Scouts
and four leaders. Each site will be
equipped with tents of various colors
and designs. There will be a large
tent for displays of Scouting including
woodcraft, handicraft and campcraft.
Troops that have produced outstand-
ing articles of handicraft and camp
craft may have them shown there and
the exhibit will represent the finest
craftsmanship so far developed by the
Scouts of the country.
Near the exhibits tent there will
be an open area for flag ceremonies,
together with a rustic campfire amphi-
theatre for dramatics and other spec
tacular demonstrations. A dining hall
and kitchen with full equipment will
be part of the camp.
The gateway is to be imposing, with
a 40 foot totem pole. The camp head
quarters building will serve as the adj
ministration center and a stockade will
surround the entire area. In line
with the symphony of colors OF the
Worlds Fair the Scout camp will be
most colorful with the flying flags of
all Scout nations waving aloft, SYM
Dol of world brotherhood and a friend
ly greeting to visitors from all over
the world.
Guided tours of the Worlds Fair
exhibits will be available to Scouts in
small groups under leadership, dur
ing approximately one-third Of the
day. This represents an extraordi-
nary opportunity for Scouts to receive
educational values from the fair and
1t is recognized by school authorities
that visit to the Fair will be most
desirable and worthwhile educational
project.
Service projects, which cannot be
done by others and which will not de-
prive workers of possible employ
ment, will be an important part of

has some trapping. Most of it is by
farm boys, who gain their pocket
money from it. The fur of bank rats,
which live in holes in stream banks,
is not as good as that of marsh rats,
although it brings the same price, Mr..
LeCompte added.
Price this year, the warden said,
were fairly satisfactory. Ordinary
brown pelts have been selling for
from 80 cents to 81. Later in the
year the price will go up to about
$1.10 or $1.15, he asserted.
Some muskrat trapping goes on
within sight of the tall buildings of
Baltimore, Mr.. LeCompte said. En-
forcement of game laws on the mud
flats of the Patapsco river, near Balti-
more, has been difficult, he explained,
because trappers did not realize they
had to have permission to set out
traps on the land of another.

He must also have had sufficient

events an for distinguished guests, in
addition to possible service as an or
derby, guide for aged and handicapped
persons and assistant to non-commer-
cial exhibitors and in the children's

sponsibilities, it will be apparent that

tied to well trained and experienced

directs that the names of those

Mr.. Keneipp reported that his

1t would seem proper to eliminate
such abuses as had occurred rather
than to change the system.

Yesterdays House voting brought
greater margins for the adminis-
tration than even its neutenants had
expected. Three roll calls capped a
stirring session that saw Speaker
Bankhead leave his rostrum to make
an unusual plea for lifting the
4-year- -old embargo. He received q
tremendous rising ovation from
Democrats and Republicans alike.
With galleries packed and many
Senators on hand, opponents also
brought up their leading orators to
advise against taking step which
they contended would bring the
United States nearer to war.
Change Over.
It was a different House than on
the night last June when members
refused to accede to administration
wishes and voted for a modified arms
embargo. About 20 members who
favored the ban at that time voted
against it yesterday.

ley, Democrat, of Connecticut to in
struct the House conferees to in
corporate the existing embargo on

retain the embargo were 143. Re-
publicans. SO Democrats and 2 Pro-
gressives; against it were 220 Demo-
Gratis, 81 Republicans, American
Laborite and l Farmer-Laborite.
BY 245 to 179, margin of 66, the
House turned back a proposal by
Representative Vorys, Republican, of
Ohio for the modified embargo
which it approved in June. This
would ban virtually all arms and
other war equipment except COM
mercial planes. Favoring it yester-
day were LAG Republicans, 81 Demo-
Gratis and 2 Progressives: against It
were 221 Democrats, ~ Republicans,
/ Farmer-Laborite and American
Laborite.
