Public Health Service, who says the | doors of its big laboratory will be | open to the visiting delegates and | they will be shown some medical dis- | coveries in the making. | Most pecple think that medical dis- coveries are ceidental. That was true not so long ago, but in these days the job of finding out things about health and disease is sy tematized. The Government is put- ting system into its program of health research.

The District of Columbia Council of the Boy Scouts of America for the fourth ~consecutive year leads all other cities of its size in the United States in number of scouts enrolled, with 3,588 scouts ,according to recent statistics.

Peak Reached in U. S. Enrollment. The Boy Scout movement in the United States has now reached the new high peak of 661,452 scouts and scout officials enrolled in 20,313 troops throughout the United States, according to the annual report of the national council. This now makes the Boy Scouts of America larger than the comtined strength of all of the countries of the world and the larg- est organization for boys in this| country, Over 663,000 badges of| achievement, including 151,000 merit | badges, and first, nd and tender- | foot class badges were awarded dur- | the past year. With the return of scouts from their vacations, the 140 scout troops scattered throughout the city of Washington and the immediate sub- urbs, whose ranks have been depleted | by thesc absentees during the Sum- mer months, are now stirring with activity, and preparing for a busy season. One of the principal things to be emphasized this year in all scout troops in the Capital City will be advancement to the higher grades of scouting. The goal set by the national council is 50 per cent tende: foot, 30 per cent second class and per cent first class couts. Standing of D. C. Divisions.

BY A. G. GARDINER. By Radio to The St LONDON, September 27.—Parlia- ment will reassemble next Tuesday and the political world now is dis- cussing the fate of the government and the probabilities of Prime Minis- ter MacDonald’s fall and of a general election being sprung upon the coun- try. The chief menace to the govern- ment is the Russian treaty, in regard to which the forces of the opposition gathering strength. Mr. Donald would be tempted to ride for a fall on the issue, but, unfortu- nately, his personal position has been gravely undermined by two incidents which make an appeal to the country at_this time extremely undesirable. The first is that affair of the bis- cuit company shares, received by him for the handsome endowment of a motor car presented to him by a per- son who subsequently received a bar- onetey in the honors list. This affair was innocent enough in fact, but it has created an enormous commotion in the Labor party, which had made special professions of pyblic honesty, which had denounced the traflic titles, and which feels that Mr. Mac- Donald’s action, however innocent, has laid the party open to attack. Urged to Return Gift. The premier is being urged on all sides to make a candid admission of indiscretion and to return the shares to the giver. If this course is taken the incident will be speedily for- gotten and forgiven. But an election, while it is in the air, would be awk- ward for Mr. MacDonald’s position in the country. The second incident 1s more serfous. It affects the position of the whole government. In the Summer, the at- torney general authorized proceed- ings against the Workers Weekly, the organ of the extreme Communists for alleged seditious utterances. When the case came on for trial the attorney general informed the court | that the prosecution would be with- drawn on the ground that later con- sideration proved there was po cause for action. The Workers' Weekly, nowever, openly declared that the government had been brought to heel by threats of reprisal by the Com- munists, who proposed to summon members of the government as wit- nesses, and subject them to examina- tion on their own past utterances. It was further alleged that direct pressure had been brought to bear on the government by Communists to withdraw the prosecution. Government Silent. No reply has been made by the government to these allegations and leaders of both the Liberal and the Tory parties are commenting in pub- lic on the alleged serious interfer- ence with the course of justice ex- ercised by irresponsible persons out- side the government The matter will be raised in Pagliament and if the government admits that with.

This_incident discloses the deep flssure ‘in the Labor ranks and must hasten the inevitable split. Mr. Mac- Donald so far has avoided a breach with the extremists, but his recent declaration indicates that he is pre- paring to cut the Communist painter and take his stand on a moderate labor platform. His experience in office has revealed to him the im- possibility of putting revolutionary ideas Into @peration. 1f Labor is to survive as a governing instrument, it} must accept the existing capitalist system and work for reform from within. That represents the general attitude of the premier's followers, and it means open war with the Communists. Position Held Weak. Handlcapped by all these considera- tions, Mr. MacDonald is not in a strong position to meet the attack which vill be directed against him | on the Russian treaty. His difficul- | ties are increased by powerful oppo- | sition to the ussian loan from Chancellor of the Exchequer Snowden, who is very hostile to the Soviet government. The Writer understands that the cabinet meeting this week was extraordinarily embittered. In the circumstances, Mr. Mac- Donald will be compelled to accept the conditions imposed upon him by the House of Commons. He cannot risk an appeal to the country on an issue on which his own cabinet is divided, and at a time when his per- sonal prestige is under a cloud. % * % i The enormous incre urious night life of London | created a new conflict between the | great hotels and the theaters.

At Plymouth and at Tinney's head- qQuarters it was said she was staying at the Ritz, but this was denied at the hotel. Tinney himself said be- fore he saw Miss Wilson: “Miss Wil- son is going to Italy very shortly to make movies and is only remaining in London a few days. She merely stopped off here just as I might stop off at Cincinnati on the way to Chi- cago to see a friend. I am going to see Miss Wilson, but it won't be here or in my dressing room at the thea- ter.” (Copyright, 1924, by New York World.) PERIN, SLAYER, VAINLY SOUGHT IN MANY CITIES Man Who Attacked Relatives of Wife, Killing Mother-in-Law, Still Eludes Police. By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, September 27.—Vin- ton Perin. gray-haired slayer of Mrs. Frances D. Rawson, his 77-vear-old mother-in-law, and widow of War- ren Rawson, prominent pork packer, upparently has escaped the elaborate net which police of Cincinnati and surrounding cities spread immediate- ly after the killing became known last night. Detectives working on the case reported no new developments. Perin is a prominent business man of Cin- cinnati. Miss Nina Rawson, 40, daughter of the dead Woman, who was shot three times by Perin, was recovering from her wounds at a hospital tonight.
