Male or female, Scouts are Scouts. Boy Scouts, some 25,000 strong at their National Jamboree in Washington (TIME, July 12), spent their happiest hours swapping horned toads, pickled scorpions, live hoot owls-everything but puppy dog tails. The first international encampment in the U.

As a pie, the amount spent by advertisers (with at least $50,000 annual appropriations) on radio, magazines and farm journals, was 20% bigger than last year for the same period.

Advertisers divided their money thus: $66,478,000 to magazines (16% increase) $34,232,000 to radio (32% increase), $5,512,000 to farm publications (14% increase...
