This also applies to merit badzes. Theso also after being passed upon by the local examiner and the local court of honor are issued in the same way as! are the registration cards, a duplicate | record being sent to New York city, Thus. it seems that the poliey of the Boy Scout council has been greatly im- proved. The whole plan is now similar to our national and gtate form of gov- ernment, the national headquarters cor- responding to the federal government and the local counciis to the state. The wisdom of this policy is self evident for Unless it has met with disaster since its last visit to the vicinity of the earth in 1915 the Winnecke comet will again give us a call in June of this ear. Concerning this comet state- ments have recently been made -that in all probability the comet and the earth may collide with each other a- bout the end of June when the former will be in perihellion, or at its near- est approach to the sun.
