REGULATION SCOUT TROOP OF 32 TO BE ORGANIZED IN CITY Boy Scouts are to be a prominent feature in Richmond within the next few months according to Perry Wilson, of the local Y M. C. A. The local Y has a scout troop of 20 members and H Is planned to have the troop made inNj a regulation troop here, which consists of 32 scouts. Twelve new boys will be taken into the troop and several, have made application, and will be given the test at a future date. The Young Men's Christian Association, has always 'been back of Boy Scouts and the Association here has had a troop for a number of years. Plans are being made now to bring this troop up to the efficiancy test, i. e., a full troop of 22 boys, and to study Scout work as a part of the Boys' Activities at the Y. The troop has some of the finest boys in the city in the troop and they are doing a lot of work that the people in general do not know anything about, for they do not talk of -their good turns and of the things that they do, A number of parents seem to think that the Boy Scouts, are just out for a good time, to be sure they have a good time, but where is the person that "Helps" the other fellow that does not have a good time. You can depend on the Boy Scout. It would be much better if some of the older people of our land would try the good turn daily, and then have the spirit of service that our Boy Scouts have. At the close of each day you would be made glad. Early in 1910 the idea of introduc ing the Boy Scout movement along i lines similar to those of the English Boy Scouts, which had been organized In 1907 and developed under the supervision of Sir Robert Baden-Powell, . was first proposed by Mr. W. D. Boyce of Chicago. Prior to this time a number of troops had been started in various cities by men who had been impressed with the possibilities of the .cheme Mr. Boyce's .interest was oc-; casloned because of an actual service rendered him in true scout spirit by a London Boy Scout, who by his obligation to do a good turn daily and the rule against the acceptance of tips. In February 1910 the incorporation was formed under the laws of the District of Columbia. With the co-operation of other institutions interested in boys, the plans for the present organization i were developed, putting the administration of the Boy Scouts or America into the hands of a national council working through an executive board and through local councils and scout officials throughout the country. : On the first day of November, 1919 there were 373.442 scouts registered at national headquarters. These were

Just watch him and compare his appetite with that boy who lounges at a lunch count fr in the city. A scout does not run away or call Tor help when an accident occurs. - He devotes all his strength and energy to Rftsistine those who are in need.

A scout can tie a knot, that will! hold, he can swim, he can mend a tear in his trousers, he can tell you about the trees, and birds and fish. A scout is kind, he knows that horses, dogs and . cats have their rights, ?nd respects them. A scout prides himself upon doing kind deeds and no dav is complete unless he has been of aid to some person. A scout never uses tobacco, or anything that will poison his body. He desires a clear, active brain. He never swears, because swearing is a sign of weakness as well as being 6acriligeous. In fact, a scout aims to be.

In its application the railroad declared that, the board has no right and power to prescribe principles to govern the railroad and its employes in the making of agreements covering rules and working conditions. The board has no power to prescribe an election or any other method by which the railroad may ascertain who are the authorized representatives of its employes. Board Lacks Power. The board has no power to compel a conference or to prescribe what representatives of employes the railroad shall confer with. Since the termination of federal control the railroad has endeavored to reestablish with its own employes a contented and harmonious relationship, and has offered all classes of employes a voice in matters affecting their welfare through employe representatives of their own selection, whether union or non union. Sixty-six and five-tenth per cent of the employes who are interested in and affected by rules covering working conditions have by vote or otherwise expressed a desire to negotiate rules and working conditions through employe representatives. Enter Into Contracts. Contracts have been entered into be"if" " "'t"S"? "t atives of approximately 150,000 em ployes.

Walker was seen at the Howden airdrom, near Hull, where he has jut been brought after the terrible experience through which he passed -unscathed. He comes from Commerce, Texas, and was a rigger on the fated airship.. He is of boyish appearance, twenty years old, and of a wiry build. "We were all in the highest spirits when we left Howden on the trial flight," he said. "We sailed over the North sea first and then started down the north coast to Pulham. Run Into Fog . "A thick fog developed, so it was! M.nnntU1A 1 - -I A. T1..11 " iajuiiu imyuaoiuie lu jcluu a.i rumiim. In fact the fog was so dense we were I more or less lost, although we knew the general locality. j "We were flying at a height of about 3,500 feet, with the wireless keeping in touch with both Howden and Pullman. The ship was behaving finely and there was not a sign of weakness anywhere. "We drove out over the sea again and as the fog continued bad we flew along the coast until Wednesday afternoon, when we sighted land at Hull. We then flew across to Howden, where it was decided to land at 6:30 p. m., so we sailed over Hull again. We encircled Hull twice, and the speed trial was completed without a hitch. Test Ship's Control. "A -test of the ship's control then began. I was at the lower rudder, proceeding back to the tail, and had just reached the. cockpit when there was a tremendous crash. The girders amidships broke and the ship split in halves. "Both the tall and the nose Immediately pointed downward and the halves started to descend toward the Humber. "I certainly cannot describe my sensation, but I thought my time had come." "I made a rush for the tail to get a parachute, but I found two of my English comrades, Harry Bateman and Walter Potter, were already there. I knew there was only one'ehute there for the three of us. Bateman had the chute and jumped, but it fouled and he hung to the tail of dirigible. "Both Potter and I started to run forward for other parachutes, but just as I got in the keel there came an explosion of either a petrol tank of hydrogen and flames immediately began to sweep the forward part of our half of the Ehip. "What was happening to our comrades in other parts of the dirigible I don't know. Most of the officers and crew were amidships, either seated or lying in their banks, id broke. At least one man h through the gap made bv the Possibly others did, but probably most of them rolled forward when the airship's nose went down. "I ran back to the tail to ret awav from the fire in the bag. Bateman, Potter and I got into the cockpit. By this time the gas was becoming depleted and the ship was 6hoot'ng down rapidly. The forward half had already beaten us toward the water. We could not use a parachute then, as we were too low only a few hundred feet up. "I saw we were going to land in the water, so I climbed on the fabric forward of the tail cup. I couldn't tell how fast we were falling, but when I thought we were going to strike I jumped. "I was surprised to find my feet striking the bottom. I had landed in four feet of water near shore. Both my comrades stuck to the ship and continued to cling to her as she struck. I managed to scramble aboard the wreckage and the three of us were picked up by a tug." Suburban CHESTER, Ind. Garrett Hazelrigg, who has been visiting his sister, Mrs. O. O.

The people of Hull were slowlv recovering today from i the horror of yesterday's disaster at this old North Sea port which has viewed so much of man's attempt to , W 1 J .4.1 conquer tne air. -uaritness ana me tide off shore cut off a view of the wreckage soon after the airship made her fatal plunge, but many of the townspeople kept to the streets nearly all night, too unnerved to make any attempt to sleep. Hull's population has been familiar with dirigibles lever since the construction of this type of aircraft was started in England. Flights along the east coast of such types as the R-33 or R-34 were ordinary events, and in past years a number of craft have been built in this vicinity. Then, too, during the war, Hull was in the path of the Zeppelin raiders on their W'ay to London to spread terror and de struction, and she took her share in the punishment at the hands of the German bombers.. Recalls Zeppelin Raids Patently it was the thought of such war horrors which first entered people's minds yesterday when they saw the great ship in the sky and later felt the explosions which caused worn en and children to become hysterical in the streets and then rush homeward in the hope of getting out of harm's way, as it appeared at first the big dirigible would fall upon the city. Early this morning thousands lined the corporation pier to view the wreckage at low tide. As the water receded it uncovered the twisted framework which had rattled on a shoal like the skeleton of some prehistoric sea monster that had ventured into shallow water and perished. Tugs, motor boats and small craft of all kinds darted in and out among the wreckage, carrying searchers, photographers and hunters of curios. Recover Ship's Log One of the most important recoveries by the searchers was tho log of the ZR-2. It is believed this will be most useful in connection with the inquest which has been set for 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Only formal evidence will be heard before adjournment. It was amongst a considerable amount of wreckage that was washed up on the shore of the Humber that the log book was found by the dockmaster together with other of the ship's papers. No systematic search for the bodies in the wreckage will be attempted, it was announced this morning until special apparatus has been brought here for raising the wrecked hull of the dirigible. Only four or five bodies have yet been recovered. Some are undoubtedly in the wreckage, the exploration of which by divers is impossible at present because of the difficult current, but a number of others may have floated away during the night. pital of Indianapolis Tuesday, Aug. 30, at Newcastle.

'SPACE NOT PRIVATE' RULING: OF LAWYERS
ON CONTROL OF AIH (Bv Associated Press) ! NEW YORK, Aug. 25. Passage of an amendment to the federal const! tution as the proper basis for aviation control was recommended in a report by a special committee of the Ameri can Bar association, made public here. The report, which will be submitted to the annual meeting of the association in Cincinnati next week, chal lenges the proposition that it Is an invasion of the rights of private own ership of property to utilize air for purposes of flight. Uniform Law Needed "It appears to be the unanimous judgment of those practically interested in the development of the art of flying," the report said, "that the demands of progress demand a uniform law operative throughout th country. If complete control is to be lodged in the national government the power should be conferred by constitutional amendment and should not be seized in the guise of the exercise of existing powers." Regarding the doctrine of private ownership of space, the committee declared it could "do no more beneficial service to the public and to the the common interests of all our people than to challenge this proposition." Various other committee reports also were made public, including that of the committee on legal education, of which Elihu Root is chairman. This committee recommended that the association favor a resolution requiring all intending lawyers to be graduates of a law school. Want Better Preparation. The evening school problem was discussed with the recommendation that all law schools of this type be equipped with a proper library and a full time faculty. A course longer than the regular three-year term in full time schools was urged. (jreater educational preparation before entrance into a law school, to in clude at least two years of study in a college, was recommended.
