Last evening each tent put on a real snappy stunt. Songs and yells pepped up the camp fire. Someone suggested that all the scouts draw lots and the unlucky scout be thrown in the lake. All agreed and Bud Munger, the aa scribe, enjoyed an_ impromptu bath, clothes and all. Lawrence Feltrup decided that the water looked so nice that he hurriedly decided that he would jump in also, Taps were sung and the scouts went to bed ti but happy after a strenuous day. Final awards of the Chan Owapi caps were made at breakfast this morning. Special mention should he made of the swimming work of the scouts. The waterfront program of the camp has been devised so that it meets the requirements of the Boy Scouts and the American Red Cross. Red Cross methods were employed in the water and Red Cross swim- ming tests were given scouts, boys came to camp who were un- able to swim their beginners’ test. They were classified as sinkers. Sinkers Now Swim Paul Whittey and Donald Crane worked hard in the water every day and took their lessons so seriously that yesterday morning both boys jumped into the water above their heads and swam their fifty feet. Practically every scout in camp ad- vanced one rank in swimming. Those who successfully passed the A. R. C, Beginner’s test are Law- rence Feltrup, Houston Galyen, My- ron Benser, Donald Crane, Garvin Croonquist, Robert Griffin, Neil Beylud, Charles linge oe loward Sayler, Eugene Imus, Arthur Hoff- man, and Albert Thysell. The A. R. C. Swimmer’s test re- quires a scout to be able to swim 100 yards, 50 feet on his back, float, surface dive, recover objects in the water, racing dive and witness a fpceneatce of artificial respira- 10n. Scouts who successfully passed all the requirements of this test were Woodrow Shepard, Raymond Evans, Ben Steiner, and Kenneth Joslin. The Swimming Merit Badge test required that a scout be efficient in the above Swimmers’ test and in addition be able to swim correctly the crawl, breast, and side strokes. Woodrow Shepard and Ben Steiner worked hard and perfected their strokes so that they passed their merit badge test in good shape. Swimming has proved the mie popalhe sport in camp. The water- ‘ront program has brought the camp leaders into some real action. The buddy system proved its worth as a panert water safety device. 4 ats were filled to capacity during the free Pariogs every day. Honor Awards The camp council consisting of the officers and the tent captains met yesterday to decide on camp honors. Scouts whose record at camp is such that they have done all that is expected of a camper received their numerals ’28. These scouts were Woodrow Shepard, Paul Whittey, Houston Galyen, Ben Steiner, Garvon Croonquist, Robert Griffin, Arthur Hoffman, Albert Thysell. Two scouts were chosen a5} oj honor scouts of the period because |” they made a definite contribution to the welfare and spirit of the camp.

But with such an evil moniker to live down, it is small wonder that this most innocent-faced of collies found himself in trouble sooner or later. It isn’t his fault, to be sure. Like the good dog that he is, he dedicated himself to the service of his master. He must share the takes as well as the gives. That Predatory Urge And, since Leon Isaacs is accused 6f taking a few pieces of money from a garage cash register, the suspicion of com} ot Fass falls upon the shaggy ntane o! The in- sinuation is that, like his namesake, ‘agan is most cunning in the art of taking what doesn’t belong to him. In so far as that point is concerned, Fagan isn’t much different from any other dog. The predatory instinct is not entirely. dead in him. Ignorance of the law, says the code, is no defense. Wherefore Fagan lies in the kennels of the So- ciety for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, technically under arrest, waiting to see what the law holds for his master. If, as has been implied, he was taught to steal, and if his master was his tutor, then a very fine point may be raised concerning his indi- vidual ‘responsibility. For, alleges he owner of the shop where ones is reported with the till he bell believes the collie took . ue bes and buried them in good dog fashion. Money Disappeared Anyway, the man who owned the shop declared he saw Fagan’s mas- ter reach in the cash register and take out a roll of bills. When he shouted, the man and dog fled—the man to be caught immediately, the dog to disappear just about long enough to hide the money. Both Fagan and Isaacs stoically submitted to search. The money was not found. Maybe. Fagan, true to his name and his master, took the money and hid it. Which, however, still re- mains to be rcoved. Fagan, as is his custom, me, says nothing, nothing.

Marcella was born blind. A few weeks ago a series of delicate surgi- cal operations gave her her sight, and for the first time in her life she could use her eyes. And now she is quite sure that she is the happiest girl in the world. On the first evening that the doc- tors took the bandages off her eyes and let her look about her, Marcella stood on the lawn of the hospital and watched the red sun do down be- yond the horizon. 3 “It was marvelous,” she said. “The colors—I never dreamed such colors existed. And to think that they come every night!” Then, a little later, she went on to say that.she could never get tired of looking at faces. “I was just as surprised by the appearance of my own face as I was by the faces of my friends,” she said. “When, by accident, I first saw myself in a mirror I didn’t know who it was. And I had to get ac- quainted with my friends all over again. Everyone was strange to me until they spoke—then I recognized them. Now, of course, I am coming to know them by sight.” They're All Handsome Incidentally, Marcella has no standards by which to judge wheth- er any particular face is homely or beautiful. All are equally absorbing to her; Bull Montana and John Gil- bert, undoubtedly, would interest her exactly the same. Living in a world of light is a different matter from living in a world of darkness. When her eyes learn to walk all over again. When she went to climb up or down stairs she had to shut_her eyes to keep from falling. Doors bothered her greatly, and the sight of her own feet moving about seemed inexpres- sibly funny to her. But faces, and bright colors, were the things that interested her most. She has been spending her days since the operation in simply going about and looking at things. The commonest ‘sip down the street is a great adventure. A visit to the shore of Lake Michigan enchanted her. She looked out over the blue water, and gazed for a long time at the white, billowy clouds overhead. “It’s beautiful,” she said quietly. eS had never been able to picture clouds.” She went to the zoo and was en- thralled. A nurse took her to the theater one night, and Marcella was overjoyed. “It was marvelous,” she said aft- (Continued on page two) SWEDES CHEER RESCUE CREW Stockholm, Jul; (AP)—The survivors of the Italia disaster ar- rived at Kryblo Junction, 80 miles northwest of Stockholm, in their special railroad car at 6 a. m. to- day.

TARIFFF WILL BE ADJUSTED Revision to Safeguard Domes- tic Market Is Plan for Farm Relief Washington, July 28—(AP)— Re- publican approval of a revision of the tariff act by the 71st congress seemed assured today with an an- nouncement by Senator Smoot, of Utah, chairman of the Senate finance committee, in favor of such a move, Senator Smoot was chairman of the platform committee at the Re- Publican national convention and speaks with some authority for his ty. He took pains to say that fe has not discussed the question with Herbert Hoover, the party’s presidential nominee. Smoot declared principally for re- vision of the tariff rates on farm products, He wants increased duties, lieving the agricultural import problem has grown beyond the pres- ent tariff act even with its flexible provision permitting the president and of] man, 8 pay to make 50 per cent increases in duties. Imports Are Problem “That will go far to solve the the farm problem,” Smoot declared. “Last as we imported more than $2,500,000,000 in foodstuffs. There is ‘your farm problem.” However, if tariff revision is tak- en up, Smoot said he would favor a complete overhauling of the present act and believed some reductions would be in order. ‘ He did not spec- ify the commodities he had in mind. Tariff legislation must start in the House but Smoot’s declarations today are believed to forecast an ad- ministration position which in furn would be pursued by party leaders in the House. e Nothing in the way of tariff legis- lation will be attempted at the short session beginning next December, Senator Smoot believes. This would turn the problem over to the new congress to be elected next fall but which will not come into regular session until a year from next De- cember.

Should these fail, it was d|thought that Governor Aaron Saenz of the state of Nuevo Leon would succeed to the presidency, to which the late General Alvaro Obregon was elected. There had been some doubt as to whether the proposal that Calles be named provisional president for a two-year term until an election could be held would be legal. The decision of President Calles not to succeed himself served further to clear the political atmosphere. The question of presidential suc- cession will not be taken up until September, when congress convenes in its regular session. The special session opening today will rot deal with the question of succession. The so-called Obregon amend- ments to the constitution will be the principal business of the special session. These amendments are ex- pected to reduce further the influ- ence of the Labor party, to which the Obregonistas are opposed.

BUSINESS OF WHEAT POOL TS MILLION A DAY Manitoba Secretary Tells Farmers at Fargo Fair It \ Has Steadied Prices Fargo, N. D., July 28.—()—There were 222,000,000 bushels or 53 per cent of the total crop marketed in western Canada last year handled by the three farmer-operated pools of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Mani- toba, it was reported by F. W. Ran- som, secretary of the Manitoba wheat pool in his address at the North Dakota state fair grounds this afternoon. Ransom was introduced by Dr. John Lee Coulter, president’ of the North Dakota Agricultural college. The meeting was arranged by the/ North Dakota Wheat Growers asso- ciation, with the cooperation of the state fair management. “We have a membership in the three pools of 140,000 farmers, men of every nationality, of every politi- cal faith and every creed,” Mr. Ran- som said. “Each has signed one common agreement to market his grain with his neighbors and share up with one another. It is a league of nations of no mean proportions. Pool’s Big Record “The big volume of grain mar- keted last year netted the farmers, on the basis of Fort William, ap- proximately $320,000,000. That is 'to say the pool had a turnover and did a business of over a million dol- lars for every working day of the year. It is probably the largest, cer- tainly one of the largest organiza- tions doing buiness in the Dominion of Canada, if not on the continent. “These pools own 1,300 country elevators with a capacity of 40,000,- 000 bushels, 12 terminals, seven at the head of the lakes, three on the Pacific coast, one at Winnipeg and one at Buffalo with a capacity of | 32,500,000 bushels. Undoubtedly the question you are all asking is: Has it affected the price on the world’s markets? All pool members and ractically all nonpool members be- feve that it has. However, that is a technical question that can neither be proved or disproved. The Price Effect “Every pool member believes that his pool has helped him secure a better price. This we do know, that in spite of @ large increase in the world production of wheat, price levels are higher than before the pools were formed, also that we are getting a better price for our grain than ever before except during the war.

AIR TERMINAL — FOR BIG AREA { Line to Minot Will Pass Through Bismarck as Now Planned SERVICE STARTS SOON Passenger Rate Will Be 12 Cents a Mile, Promoters Announce Rapid City, S. D., July 28.—(AP) —Six airplane routes ranging in distances from 150 to 500 miles will be opened successively on an experi- mental basis on or shortly after Sep- tember 1 by the Rapid Air Line, Inc. it was announced today by the head director, Walter Halley. If there is sufficient volume of travel, each line will automatically become permanent, Halley said. The lines designed on the pro- eae air maps include a route from apid City to La Rapid City to Rapid City to Minot, N. D., by wa: of Bismarck; Rapid City to Billing: Mont.; Rapid City to Fargo, N. D.; as. from Rapid City to Cheyenne, The main object in establishing the air routes, the director explained, is to supply transportation and com- munication where adequate facilities do not now exist. There is a tre- mendous area in eastern Wyoming, Montana and in western north and South Dakota absolutely without any rail or other means of transporta- tion at this time, he says. All planes would leave the Rapid City airport at 8:15 each morning after the arrival of the incoming passenger trains. Round _ trips would made, connecting with ex- isting airplane routes in the east and south and with existing train lines, according to present plans. All imate and pilots would be fed- erally licensed, director Halley states. The rates as outlined by Mr. Halley would be 12 cents per mile for passengers; parcel, one cent per pecad per mile and private delivery letters would be carried at a flat rate of 25 cents each. T. B.
