WHAT KEEPS SCOUTS BUSY Scout Troop - No. 5 of Highland Park, Mich., were the first ones to clear the ground for the new church home. ? Boy Scout Troop No. 1 of Bay City, Mich., shoveled snow from city water hydrants, cleaned the Red Cross sew- in room every week and delivered lterature for the Board of Health.

Malad, Idaho, who had drifted into dangerous water and was crying for help while bathing in Lake View, Idaho, Hyrum Parry. a 15 year old boy scout of troop 55, swam out and pulled her to safety. The campaign to place War and Navy Department citations for em- ployers of returned service men has been carried on so energetically by thousands of scout troops that Wash- ington is hearty in its praise of the work of the boys.

CAN'T STEAL SCOUT SMILE A couple of scouts, on an overnight hike, stopped at a country store For some little things they needed.

C. T. U,, in a recent interview just after her arrival in Evanston on her return from the St. Louis con- vention. "Will the law be enforced in states like New Jersey and Ohio, where pop- | ular sentiment appears to be against enforcement?" she was asked. "It will," she replied without hesi- tancy. "The amendment provides for concurrent federal and state en- forcement, and the federal govern- ment will not allow a federal law to go unenforced. I am convinced from what I heard at Washington that government officials are determined to use every measure of enforcement.

Despite what the liquor people say, the state referendum does not invalidate the amendment. The federal constitu- tion officially provides the manner in which the constitution shall be chang- ed and says that an amendment can be annulled only by the action of the Congress. There is nothing which would permit changing of the consti- tution by a referendum vote. "And even if that were so, we shall have more than the required number of states, for on January 16 or 17 we shall have had the formal ratifications of thirty-eight state legislatures.
