BOY SCOUTS Now that anniversary week is at an end, Scouts are looking forward to the annual Mount Vernon pilgrimage as the next big event in the winter program. The trip will be made on Monday, February 23. Through the courtesy of the Mount Vernon Asso- clation, free admission to the grounds Is granted to Scouts for this occaslon, and the Washington and Mount Ver- non Railway Co. has made possible a special low rate for transportation. At least a thousand Scouts are expect- ed to make the pilgrimage and par- ticipate In the ceremony of placing a wreath on the tomb of Washington. Two great pilgrimages cach Year promote patriotism in the hearts of the Boy Scouts of the Capital City— t® journey to the grave of the Un- Known Soldler at Arlington on Ar- mistice day, and this tribute at the tomb of the Father of Our Country on the anniversary of his birth. All W36 have witnessed either ceremony 18 previous years have been enthu- slastic in their expression as to the significance of these occasions for the eritivation of patriotism and of warthy ideals of citizenship. After the services and the inspec- tion of the mansion, Scouts will cook their dinners in the woods outside the grounds and spend the day in pass- ing of Scout tests, games and compe- titions. Virginia Scouts are going to beauti- ful Monticello, the home that Thomas Jefterson loved so much. And plans are now under consideration for a number of the boys to spend the Sum- mer there, acting as guides to the hundreds of visitors who each season stop for a few days at the old place %o intimately associated with the founder of American democracy. The Washington Boy Scout Council has determined on a campaign for funds, to open February 20, providing a ‘budget for the nex two years. Meadquarters have been opened at 1415 G street northwest, and Huston Thompson of the Federal Trade Com- mission has been made chairman, Those familiar with actual conditions are aware that scouting in Washing- ton has made its really remarkable progress during the last two years, under financial handicaps that have greatly limited the most effective work. Especially at the Wilson Scout Reservation at Burnt Mills, Md., where Washington Scouts have their all-the-year tract for camping and outdoor activities, has work been Jim- ited because of inadequate equipment. The development of this excellent training center has been on the pro- gram every vear since it was given to Washington Scouts through the gen- erosity of Mr. Brookings, but lack of funds ¢h year made DProgress, except in very limited ways, impos- sible. In many other respects ade- quate service to troops and to the great number of Washington boys who are of Scout age and would like to be members of troops has also been Tmpossible with the limited means at hand. With these facts in mind, the coun- cil is ow asking the people of Wash- ington to provide for two years of scouting advance on a schedule care- fully prepared to meet the necds for adequate supervision and progress.

PRIZE CLOCK OFFERED FOR SUITABLE HOME Nephew of Designer Will Give Masterpiece to Some City, He Says. By the Associated Press. ALBANY, February 14.—The tower clock that won the highest award and special bronze medal at the centen- nial exhibition at Philadelphia in 1576 will be given away to the municipal- ity or building, which will provide It With the most suitable home. This announcement was made today by Dudley F. Fasoldt, 133 North Poarl street, Albany, N. Y., a nephew of Charles Fasoldt, pioneer clock- maker, who constructed the prize mechanism. The present owner is not a tower clock manufacturer. The famous old clock is today pin- ing away in a back room, its exist- ence practically forgotten despite the fame it won in competition. Its own- er said he was moved to make the offer only by the desire that the mas- terpiece be given an opportunity to fulfill its destiny of usefulness and service. The clock will operate four dials of any size up to 100 feet across, set- ting the hands every half minute, and its owner declares it will not gain or lose more than ten seconds a year. The clock's mechanism is inclosed in a solid mahogany and glass case and is capable of giving many years of faithful service to the municipal- ity or building which will adopt it. Ai e Valparalso and Casablanca, Chile, are to be connected by a concrete highway. “PHILLIPS" MILK OF MAGNESIA Acoept only genuine “Phillips,” the -lglugtlfilk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for 50 years as an antacid, laxative, corrective, 25-cent bottles, also 50-cent bottles, eontain directions—any drug store.
