Scout Executive Euston pointed out today that it is especially appropriate that this Anniversary Dinner be held in Washington and sponsored by representatives of the Federal government and various National cies with which the Boy Scouts of America actively co-operate, because of the fact that the Scouting Movement in America had its origin in the city of Washington. It Was incorporated in Washington D.

on February 8, 1919 through the efforts of Wm. D. Boyce, the publisher, and Colin H. Livingstone. a prominent citizen of the nation's capitol, and for the first fifteen years the active president of the Movement.

The first annual meeting was held in the East Room of the White House with Presldent Taft serving as Honorary President. Since that time all Presidents of the United States hove served as Honorary Presidents of Scouting and have actively co-operated with the National Council in its work. Without exception they have declared the Boy Scouts Movement as one of the nation's greatest assets. The Scouters' Association which will meet tonight at Cabell street church was organized last month as one of the forward steps inaugurated by the Patrick Henry council to make more effective the work of the local leaders. All adults connected in any way with the Movement in Danville are members of the association.

Laws passed by the assemble contain provisions for promotion of industrial expansion, stabilizing of agriculture and further increasing the efficiency of government, and in addition provisions were made for continued study of various important problems. including election laws and county government. Many of the provisions providing for study of the state's various problems were recommended by Governor John Garland Pollard. The governor was an advocate of a seafood rehabilitation program, a commission to study codification and revisions of election laws, an increase in workmen's compensation, extension of rural health work, and tax reduction.

The governor, together with his immediate predecessor, Harry F. Byrd, were sponsors of other important measures adopted by the legislature. These measures included in the educational equalization fund, the bill abolishing periodic county real estate assessments and establishing equalization boards, and the commission for study of county government with the aim of drafting a general setting up optional county government forms. Farm improvement and agriculture stability received attention in measures offered from the floor. The agricultural program provided for forestry promotion, changes extending the co-operative marketing act to include co-operative purchasing, th extension of the apple grading laws to include products in closed packages, a standard milk act, a revision of the game code 1 and an appropriation of $7,500 for a soil survey by Virginia Polytechnic institute.

Other measures offered from the floor were various bills for establishment of a liberal arts college for women, those providing for racial integrity, for highway development, for codification of school laws and military laws, and numerous other measures of lesser importance. Restrictive measures died in rather large numbers in committees or were voted down. Among the bills failing to pass were a bill providing for chain store taxation; legislation requiring treasurers to report delinquent taxes; a bill creating Virginia state bar as governmental agency; investigation of the fee system in criminal law; bill restricting billboard advertising; bill legalizing boxing, and railroad "full crew" and "car limit" bills. seafood program, growing out. of numerous conferences by the governor and taking defnite shape in measures adopted by the general assembly, provides for ample revenue for the administrative section which its sponsors say "put teeth in the administration of seafood laws." The program, passed over the votes of a stubborn minority, provides also for a tax of eight cents per bushel on seed oysters chipped out of the state and a commission of fisheries with authority to make rulings with the weight and effect of law.

The program passed almost without alteration. Election law revision was the center of a fight of major importance The assembly adopted a bill providing for a commission of nine members to study the laws with a view of correcting The bureau of legislative drafting, re-established during the session, will codify the election laws before the commission begins its work. The assembly also granted authority in a bill not included in the election law recommendations for the use of voting machines in all counties, cities and towns. Among those measures seeking to aid Industrial expansion was the Buchanan bill allowing localities to exempt from taxation for five years new industries coming into the section, the bill passed over strong opposition and with the amendment should providing that no exemptions be granted to industries competing with those already established. Under the racial integrity law a "colored" person is classified as anywith an ascertainable degree of one blood, but exempts certain Innegro dians on reservations with not more than one-sixteenth negro blood.

The Porter-Rhodes highway bill was designed, its authors maintainto give among benefits an imed, proved living condition in rural sections. It was said to be primarily the state's system of to expand farm-to-market roads.

The two sons of Mr.

Taft joined their mother and sister yesterday, coming on from Cincinnati as 5001 as word of their father's death reached them. Mrs. Manning had been in the city almost continuously for several weeks. Throughout the day, friend's messages and floral tributes were constantly arriving. President and Mrs.

Hoover sent a huge basket of tulips, crocuses and yellow spring blooms. The congregation with which Mr. Taft had worshipped sent a large basket of lilies. The callers included the socially and officially prominent and members of the diplomatic corps, bringing messages of sorrow from their governments. Mr.

Taft died at 5:15 p. on Saturday, peacefully wrapped in unconsciousness. For weeks, he had been upon the verge of death, amazing his physicians by the vitality which enabled him to combat and occasionally show improvement against a complication of diseases any one of which was extremely rious. Death came finally as a direct result of cerebro arterior sclerosis, a blood clot on the brain, accompanied by hardening of the arteries. In addition, he had been suffering from a nervous disorder, a bladder ailment and heart trouble.

President Hoover was notified at once and with Mrs. Hoover called immediately at the Taft home to extend his condolences to Mrs. Taft. Returning to the White House, he issued a proclamation establishing a thirty-day period of official mourning and eulogizing Mr. Taft for "purity of patriotism, a lofty disinterestedness and a devotion to the best interests of the nation that deserve and will ever command the grateful memory of his countrymen." By a singular coincidence, four hours before Mr.

Taft's death, Associate Justice Edward T. Sanford of the supreme court died suddenly. The members of the court were in Knoxville, Tennessee, today for his funeral services. They will return immediately to attend the caremonies tomorrow for Mr. Taft.

"We got used to the cold and our houses were warm enough. The monotony was the worst thing we had to encounter." A representative of the New Zealand government in brief address of welcome paid tribute to Admiral Byrd as the first man to fly over both the North and South Poles and the only one who has conquered the South Pole by air. Byrd replied briefly: "We have been fortunate in a great many ways," he said, "and without that good fortune we would never have accomplished what we did. All that we set out to do has been done.
