WALSH. KIDNAPED BY "COLD GERMS" Hen who are interested in the welfare of the boys of our county will be given an opportunity to show their colors on April 28 and May 5, when the University of Scouting program will be held at the Community high school in Woodstock. Plans for staging this big event are rapidly nearing completion and the manner in which the leadership training committee is going about completing the program is evidence that these two afternoons and evenings will go down in history as one of the outstanding Boy Scout events sponsored in these parts for many a day. The program will start on April 28 at 2 o'clock in the/afternoon and will continue until 10:30 the same night. On May 5 the same schedule will be carried out on Central Standard time. Any registered or prospective leader or Cubbing or anyone interested in the leadership of boys are, invited to attend. There will be no registration fee or obligation to serve in Scouting or Cubbing because of attendance. There will be seven courses offered that will provide interesting and worthwhile information to any person who is interested in Scouting ana the welfare of boys in general. Elements of Scoutmastership, part one and two, will be offered for the new men and the Principles of Scoutmastership course for the experienced boy leader. < A specialization course in crafts and games, teaching many games and handicraft projects for the program material will be another course. A course in first aid that will be directed by experienced Red Cross first aid instructors is another course that will furnish much information that will be valuable to any person. Cub leadership for boys 9 to 42 years of age will be taken up in another course. Several communities in the county are interested in getting this program started so that this course should be very popular. Even members of the District Executive Committee will fiind a course which will furnish them information that will be of great help to them :n their part of the promotion of the Boy Scout program. All of the courses will be directed by men with wide experience of boys and the Scout program. Learn by doing instead of the long dry lecture method will be the slogan of the University. There will be plenty of activity in which the men learn by actually doing the things they desire to teach the boys. Upon satisfactory completion of the courses men will receive certificates issued by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Trained man power for Scouting is CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS By CHAUNCEY W. REED Congressman 11th Illinois District What's a billion? -- The congressionally approved $4,880,000,000 works relief bill, which opens new possibilities for cities, towns, counties and political subdivisions throughout the nation, found its path to the desk of President Franklin D Roosevelt filled with stones and thorns. Under the leadership of the progressive Senator Robert J. LaFollette, Jr., of Wisconsin, a bloc proposed that it be raised to $10,000,000,000. This was evil dently with the thought that if a little would help, a lot more would do a better job. Anyway, it didn't hurt to ask, for the proposal was immediately quashed. c , A mere mistake -- But like most of the appropriations around the nation's capital, many of the common folks back home are wondering just how much money that is. Those who exclaim there isn't such a thing as four billion dollars are approximately correct. Their thoughts might be eloquently echoed in a pregnant aside made by one congressman who, during a speech, mistated the amount of the bill as being $5,GOO,000,000. When his attention was called to the fact that he was in error, he growled: "What's $120,000,000 t>o.a guy who hasn't enough to boy . a postage stamp!"

This week finds the President about ready to call a series of conferences to halt the depredations but the authorityRequested giving a free hand to the administrative officials has been denied. The social security program as originally sponsored by the White Houso is now before the Hou^e in emasculated form. The Wheeler-Rayburn resolution containing many ideas of Mr •Roosevelt while in committee is likely to suffer considerable pruning from the solons. The maneuver of the Department of Justice in going to bat in the Supreme Court with-a new test case, as to the constitutionality of the Blue Eagle'? brood, is viewed with concern"in other Federal quarters. A court upset on this .question would make things topsy-turvy here. Believe it or not, the U. S. Weather Bureau claims a batting average of 80 to 85 per cent in the forecasting league. Congress has been told that the upper air observations taken daily by airplane observers has,greatly improved the chanees for accuracy. The government hopes to perfect a deal with commercial air transport Kn-js for reporting temperature, humidity and, other" conditions encountered during flight. Science is working to eliminate guesswork in weather reports. It is claimed that the sun's output each day has a definite bearing on the weather. I^oca! amateurs still prefer their own methods of prophecy, over those of high-brow scientific prognosticators. • Of interest to the areas affected by drought and sand storms is the opinamourjt of precipitation for the next ten or fifteen years. Despite the optimistic predictions of those advocating a "tree belt" across several states the weather sharks here contend, "It would have practically ho effect a^ all on the larger climatic features of the .whole area". They admit that a shelter belt would lessen the intensity and destructiveness of the dust storms. Yet the experts insist that the chief benefit would be the stopping^ of soil erosion. Reports sho* that the velocity of wind in the Dakotas, Montana and Minnesota is some^ what greater than in the East and trees will not change this condition. While the public still regards the "G" men, as secret agents of the Department of Justice are called in the underworld, with a romantic eye, the executives here consider their activities as routine matters. Congressional committees handling funds are advised that the successful prosecution by this agency has contributed materially to 37 per cent decrease in the number of bank robberies and "a marked cut in the number of kidnappings. New appropriations will permit the- training of additional investigators for a perilous job. Government men step into , the crime picture when local authorities are held back either through politics, fear or inabiL ity to cope .with "hig time" desperadoes. Tho over-worked agents carry at least. 16 eases when 10 or. 12 assignments would be enough to keep thein busy night and day. During the last year the identification unit of the Bureau of Investigation received 558,241 fingerprints of criminals. v .; - v..,; v. ion of the Federal weather experts j The crime laboratory has developed to that a definite reversal is anticipated. In other words, the scientists say we can look for a gradual increase in the such a point that tire treads left in mud or snorr help in tke detection of criminals. ministration appears to be most interested in taking family heads off relief rolls. Those Illinois communities with projects which will absorb the most labor over the most promising period, will undoubtedly receive the greatest favor. As to past applications -- Maijy an Illinois application for PWA loans and grants remain on file here. Many of these have been approved, but the actual money for their consummation has been withheld simply because the PWA rah out of money long ago. Statistics on Illinois show that under the old fund, political subdivisions of that state applied for $320,000,000 in loans and grants. Only $75,521,000 of these were granted. Many were rejected. A few approved remained to be taken care of under the new appropriation. The government itself - allocated $43,645,0000 for federal projects, bringing the Illinois' allotment to approximately $119,000,000. A sur- PETER J. DOHERTY, Mayor. PETER A. NEISS. City Clerk.

Clear the gallery! - Last week the senate, irritated by continued disturbances, shooed their visitors out of the gallery. It was the first time in several decades'that such a performance took place. But, inasmuch as the buzzing right on with empty galleries, the senators scratched their heads then concluded it was themselves and not the galleries, which caused the disturbance. Wherteupon they sent out their deputies and brought all the visitors back. -f The Famous Passion Play - LORD OF LIFE" ; by John D.

There are about: 125,000 folks in this land who can* not see. Only one-fifth of them can read Braille by the touch system. The other four-fifths, most of whom went blind after they passed the learning stage, are doomed to sit in the lone-' someness of total darkness, their minds unoccupied unless a friend or relative talks or reads to them. For their entertainment and education, inventors have devised a combination phonograph and radio, costing approximately $40. Women's club* throughout the country have exertetf considerable efforts to obtain one of these for every afflicted citizen. To continue this movement, phonograph companies have placed upon records' whole books. Generally an ordinary sized novel can be placed on 12 records. The present "talking books" are limited to only half a dozen novels, such as "David Copperfield.'V These are owned by the congressional library, and are sent free on reque-t, from any blind person. To continue the expensive development of the "talking book" library, Keller has ask ed a "permanent" fund of $75,0lk)4 It would supplement another $11X1,001): fund now set aside for putting good books into the Braille; or "raised letters" alphabet. Appropriations -- Total federal appropriations for 124 years from 1780 to 1913 was $24,000,000,000. During the last three years the total has been $24,000,000,000. Bills and bills -- For the information of those who think congressmen have ample time for slumber: More bills have been introduced to date in this session than- were introduced throughout last congress. Believe iu or not, there have bfeen 7,260 bills 192 resolutions, arid 237 joint resolutions tossed into the hopper. Too much talk -- Last week a minoi^ ty congressman arose to put a question to a speaker. Another shoutdl, "Don't bother the speaker, he only has three minutes." The would be quizzer retorted, "I know what he has, --I want to find out what he hasn't^ got!" But he neverthless subsided, only to demand three minutes as soonP as the speaker concluded. But the objector raised his voice in protest "What's the matter now?" demanded the would-be quizzer. The objector retorted: "I'm just tired of listening to you, that's all." Stealing Heflin's thunder--Many years ago a great English actor, wishing to put new interest in his storm scenes, bought- himself a large s?ieet of tin and had it shaken in the wings^ -- thus producing the first artificial thunder.
