These sels are now being installed as rapidly as proper equipment is donated by a sympa- thetic public. Assistant Deputy Com- missioner Thomas A. King is direct- ing the installation, and having the axperience of being overwhelmed with gratitude from many into whose 1lives the coming of the radio brings the only diversion or ray of light to brighten a monotonous existence. He reports that scouts are rendering ex- cellent service in installation of the sots. Troop 100 of the Y. M. C. A, of which Dan J.

Girl Reserve Club of the McKinley High School Friday after- noon at 3 o'clock aroused much in- terest. Gowns, frocks and ther ap- parel were displayed in a most novel way, interest being sustained by en- tertaining vocal and instrumental music. The keynote of simplicity and girlishness was expressed in the in- formal address of welcome by Nellie McLeish when she said: “We are all dressed up in dresses fine, the rest are all back there in line.” Elizabeth Scullen announced the numbers and appeared herself in sport apparel; Grace Muirhead in tennis togs, Alice Fowler in riding habit, Agusta Freeman as a golfer and Zelda Wolfe in sport suit.

Already the second week I8 filled to capacity, and few places are left in the first or third week, while many applications are on file for the fourth, fifth and sixth weeks. When camp opens on June 23 it will begin with a full reg- istration and with the largest and most efficient etaff of supervisiors and instructors in its history. Mem- bers of the staff begin tomorrow to put,the place in order and start some new construction. The two weeks intervening before the scouts arrive will be busy times at the Calvert Clifts. A jolly crowd of C. M. O.'s spent three happy days at camp last week, combining enjoyment with labor in such proportion as spelled the best time the tribe ever had. A third de- gree was proposed and adopted. It will be an honorary degree, to which only outstanding C. M. O. Scouts will be eligible, and they by vote of the tribe, and trial. Changes were made in both the first and second degrees, admission to which is conditional only upon a scout obtaining his camp letters or numerals and spending the necessary time at Roosevelt. An ac- tive season is in prospect for this summer. A second degree initiation was held on Saturday night, and so fine was the weather ordered for the occasion at the end of a rainy month that many of the members slept out in the open woods. Real work was ac- complished in the cutting.of timber and underbrush to clear the site for the new cabin to be erected before the opening of camp.
