SCOUTS HAVE BANNER CAMP THIS SEASON Redlingshafer Tells Lions of Two-Week Outing on Eagle River Bar Tuesday ended the most suc- cessful encampment the Juneau Boy Scouts have ever had, H. L. Redlingshafer, Scoutmaster of Troop No. 2 told the Lions Club today at the weekly meecting in the Forget-Me-Not Tea Room A number of imj ments about the camp and added advantages of this year's camp were named by Mr. Redling- shafer. Chief among these was the laying of 680 feet of pipe, buried from one to four feet deep and with a drop of 40 feet, which enables the cook to have running water at all times. A full barrel of water kept handy in case of fire. “The cook was opener kind,” Mr. Redlingshafer declared. “Most of the canned goods we took out at the begin- ning of camp were brought back yesterd. for the cook was ex- cellent and was able to give the boys almost anything they de- sired. Equipment Improved “Living quarters at Eagle Riv- er were better than ever before. Each boy had his own cot, plen- ty of blankets, and a full length bed mnet to keep off mosquitqes. Plenty of tent space was anothe: matter of no little importance. “People in town also helped us a great deal. Many brought out supplies from time to time and were responsible for a number of ‘treats.” 8. Hellenthal placed his boat and outhoard motor at our disposal, and with this we haul- ed practically all our supplies and moved everything to the gagle River Landing at the con- clusion of the encampment. We made a trip to Sentinel Island lighthouse and were shown throughout the station. Learn to Swim “The boys had an opportunity to learn how to swim, and many took advantage of this. Se swimming tests were passed among the long list of scouting work completed. Marksmanship tests were given too, and several of the Scouts made fine scores.” E. P. Pond made a short talk to the Lions on his recent trip to Skagway and the White Pass, and told of several interesting occurrences on his journey. J. E. Johnson, City Tax Assessor, was a guest of the Lions. ——————— SEAL ARRIVES AT FALSE PASS, WEST ALASKA P. G. Redington, head of Biological Survey, end H. W.

Influenza, which attacked them in the Congo forest, ten days from a doctor, was another danger “The most difficult thing, how- ever,” said Miss O'Brien, “was to keep up our morale and spirit in the terrific heat of the Ituri for- est. Throughout the whole trip we boiled our water for 20 min utes daily and we took five grains of quinine every day for five months.” e FOREST SERVICE IMPROVES CAMP SITES NEAR TOWN The improvement work, which has been done by the U. S est Service on camp ground: the vicinity of Juneau, which were set aside for the use of the pub- lic by the Forest Service, about seven years ago, has progressed considerably during the last week, according to Harold Smith, forest ranger, who has been in charge of the work. Two camp sites have been es- tablished at the Auk Village beach, one at the first bridge and one at the farther bridge, Mr Smith said. At the three camp tables, a Lang park stove and a registration box have been placed, and at the second bridge, six tables, a registration box and a garbage container have in addition to the concrete stov trails, and other improvements made previous to this time. The approximate cost to the Forest Service for these improvements was $350. In addition to these Improve ments, the bath house, for which lumber was purchased by the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce, and labor donated by the L. F. Morris Oonstruction company, is well under way. Until this year no attempt was made by the Forest Service to interest the public .n a financial way, Mr. Smith de clared.

Other camping public to which have been added Service, during the der the direction are Lena Cove, the Upper Me Mendenhall Glacle tiver Bar. At Lena Cove a Lang camp stove, two tables and a registration box were put in. At the Ragle River bar they placed two camp tables, and, with the co-operation of the Boy Scouts, piped the water from the hill to the camp site, a distance of 600 feet. At Montana Creek, in addi tion to the cabin. which has beea there for some time, a registra- tion box has been placed, at the Mendenhall Dbridge. three canp tables and a registration box and a registration box at Mendenhall Glacier. The registration boxes have been placed at the different sites for the purpose of determining, nearly as possible, the number of people who use the grounds, and which are most popular, Mr. Smith said. The information ac- quired in this way will bYe used by the Forest Service as an argu- ment to secure further mcuey for improvements of these grounds, and it is hoped by officials of tie Forest Ser’ » that the using the camp sites will co-operate by registering in the books. plac for the improvement by the Forest last week, un of Mr. Smith, Montana Creek denhall Bridge, and the Bagle AT THE HOTELS Gastineau Larry A.

They also point to parental ignorance or lack of con trol over children as the under- lying cause of malnutrition, Although it is impossible to fix the exact number of such cases, the bureau reports a number of typical investigations are avail able, and says it is probably safe to conclude that from one-fourth to one-third of the children in the United States are definitely malnourished, and that the num ber of children of really superior nutrition small. Of New York e¢ity's million chil dren, the report continues, more than 215,000 were found te he dis tinetly below the normal or safe level, and the results of numer- ous studies made in different parts of the country sinco 1918 show similar and even more ous situations. In rural Kentucky, for example, 40 percent of the children were classed by the ex- amining physician as poor and 35 percent as only fair.

Semple, Malnutrition st only ca “stunted growth, anemia, nervous instability, and diminished energy but increased susceptibility to dis- ease and lack of resistanct to it,” the report states. A large proportion of mortality among children, the report adds, “is due directly or indirectly to faulty nu- trition. Scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles, pneumonia, tuberculogis and intestinal diseases claim most of their victims from those who are too poorly nourished to resist them. “The relation between malnutri- tion and tuberculosis needs spe- cial emphasis. Tuberculosis may be an active cause of malnutrition but a malnourished body is the best soil for tuberculosis.” The most common cause of mal-| nutrition found by the bureau is an insufficient supply of the prop- er protein and mineral supplying foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole cereals, eggs and milk. Ir- regular or too hurried meals, in- sufficient rest or exercise, ade- noids, and unhealthy teeth or ton- sils are other contributing factors. But the underlying cause of these, the report concludes, is parental ignorance or lack of con trol over the children. “Many children are fed,” the report states, “because their parents do not knmow what are the proper foods for children nor how to spend their money (o get the best return in food values; because they do not know that children should have regular, unhurried meals—including _espe- cially a good breakfast, and be- cause they do not know that the habit of drinking tea and coffee and the habit of eating indiserim- inately between meals are worse for children than for adults. “The problem of malnutrition in children will not be solved un- e DALE HILL WANTED Dale Hill, a boy aged 14 years left his home in Seattle last Jul and his mother is very anxious to learn of his whereabouts.
