Fur Lovers Paradise
For those of the fair sex whose
fancy turns Ito furs, now is the
time TO indulge it. Fuls definitely
are on the bargain counter In
some cases, they can be bought at
half their former price, although
L do not guarantee the quality.
The fur market was hard hit by
aDnormally warm weather earlier
in the season. Inventories have
piled up and competition has be-
come extremely severe. To point
up the situation. might mention
that one prominent Boston con-
Germ not too long ago advertised

With spring just around the

localities are cutting prices on

offered at very attractive levels.

Scot, who purchased some of the Com
munist whiskey. The whiskey, according
to report, was supposed to be the same as
that applied to Parliament, but the catch
to the advertising matter on the label was
that the word BLACK" was spelled "Blak"
No doubt the Russians will explain this
by claiming they originated Scotch wills
key, and saying that the original spelling
of Black was "Blak." The only trouble
they seem to be having is producing some
thing which equals the Scotch product

Great Movement

gress in the program requires work. A
college president recently said that an
Eagle Scout had the equivalent Of soph-
omore college education. His broad training
in many fields to win the coveted Eagle
Scout rank developes the mind, and intro
duces the scout to many subjects. In the
military services scout training has been
valuable. and many individuals have credit
ed their knowledge of scouting in saving
their lives in combat Thus progress in
scouting requires ambition, study, inquis-
tiveness, and teaches the fundamentals
of happy living through clean living
Scouting is the finest training boy can
have and the movement deserves the full
est support Of the public in order that it
may be expanded to touch the lives of more
young Americans.

Cities That Grow and Grow

1T YOU were asked to name the three larg-
est cities in the world you would prob
ably have no trouble in thinking of London,
and New York, though you might be in
doubt as to which was the larger. AS to the
third YOU might think of several posi-
bilities, Paris being perhaps the most like
", The chances are that whatever your
guess, it would be wrong. The worlds
third largest city is Tokyo, with 7469, 538
inhabitants London is the largest with g.
346 1871 and New York second largest with
1891 957 1t is strange that so many people
choose to live in crowded cities when the
vast countryside today offers simpler and
more comfortable life

Just been published, are amazing because

ROY SCOUTS throughout the United
- States will celebrate during this week.
The movement established in America on
February 8, 1910. presently has enrolled
3,l84,604 scouts, reaching almost every
community in the nation. The strength Of
the organization lies in its leadership fur
nished by thousands Of outstanding men
volunteers. Wherever good scout troop is
found several men, who dedicate much Of
their time and ability to the movement, are
to be found directing the activities Of the
troop. For the boys, scouting is fun, for
the leaders, scouting is pleasure and a
community responsibility.
Even though scouting has made fine
contribution to America, its expansion
could touch the lives Of millions more. The
nature of the program to some extent limits
the membership. In the first place, pro-

Brigadoon is the first of record

A piquant aspect of Brigadoon
coming to life in Maryland is
that until today it has been
purely a myth. In the original
1947 musical by Alan ]. Lerner
and Frederick Loewe. it was a
tabled Scots community that
came to life one day year, lived
happily for "a hours, then went
back to its native nothingness.

PREMIERE COMING: It has
been a long time since Wash |

premiere town. marked the first
performance of a ballet. This
deficiency in the community's
artistic diet will be corrected
during the week Of october 4, by,
of all traditional troupes. the
Ballet Russo de Monte Carlo.
The new ballet, Harold in
Italy" danced to the Hector
Berlioz symphony. is the work
of Leonide Massine and will be
presented for the first time in
the company's Friday night, Oc-
tober 8, performance. The SYM
ptony which Berlioz wrote for
Pagannini is reputedly vaguely
related to Byron's 'Childe Har-
DID," but actually much more
Berlioz than Byron.
Actually, there are two new
ballets in the repertory of the
re-organized company. The other
is Antonio Cobos dance version
of ''The Mikado,' which has
been clamoring for pantomimic
Interpretation for decades. Miss
Cobos, who likes to take literary
subjects and drain them of ver-
biage, scored a notable success
with her earlier Mute Wife"
adapted from Anatole France.
"The Mikado" will have its
second performance here, the
first in Baltimore where the
company pauses for two per-
formances en- route to its weeks
date here.
