C, BOY SCOUTS Six hundred Scouts will be busy next Wednesday with a traffic count at 150 designated spots in the city, in response to a short notice call from the new Trafic Department. The count will be carefully made by picked Scouts, and is expected to furnish information of con- siderable value in determining what new street regulations will be necessary in the immediate future. Trucks and Forse drawn vehicles as well as pleas- ure cars will be included in the count, which will cover three separate periods of the day—the early rush hours, from 8 to 10 o'clock; the periods from 12 to 2, and the evening rush from 4 o'clock to 6. Troops from all four divisions in the city will participate, and are joined to do the job efficlently. Advancement, the truest barometer of the conditlon of scouting in any com- munity, is at high mark just now in Washington. During March 70 Scouts advanced to first class, and 148 to sec- ond class—a new record for any one month. Since January 1, 113 have be- come first class, and 350 second class, against 69 first and 181 second class in the same period last year. Thie is an advance of which all interested in scout- ing are proud. At the present time the moment is near the goal that has been sought for several years—of “50, 30, 20." April 1, the standing, exclusive of col- ored troops, was 53.8 tenderfoot, 30.3 second class, 16.9 first class. If ad- vancement in April continues at the tame rate as in March the goal will be more than reached. “C. M. 0." Scouts will leave from Chesupeake Beach Junction next Wed- nesday morning, April 15, at 9 o'clock, for the annual Spring excursion to Camp Roosevelt. They will remain for three days, recalling the good times had at the regular camping season, and mak- ing plans for the coming Summer, when camp is open once more. Philip Her- rick of Troop 15, president of the C, M O., is helping to arrange a program of activities that will be of special interest to the fellows wiho have gone through the degree work of thls Camp Honor Tribe. J. Hugh Taylor, Lone Scout corre- spondent, continues today his discus- sion of the movement begun in this col- umn two weeks ago, The essential featdre of “Lone” Scouting is the degres work, which le simply the applied common sense of tha ploncer combined with the nature knowledge of the Indian and the evers- day appilcation of modern science. The Lone Scout acquires an under- standing of himself, a knowledge natural forces about him and his tlonship 1o them, through the studying and passing of the degree ars seven W with a sepa let of instruction. The degrees are lodges with five badg degrees are in the Tepes Lodge, with a bronze hadge for the first two degrees and a silver for the third. The fourth, fifth and sixth have one badge (gold) and compose the Totem Pole Lodge. The seventh degree (Sagamore Lodge) has a gold badge also. On passing the seventh degree a Scout may use the Ini- tials L. 8. D. Lone Scouts should participate in other activities while doing degree work, but should pass all the degrees as rap- idly as possible. The seven degrees cover about the same ground as the tenderfoot, second class and first class Boy Scout tests The Lone Scouts of America are gov- erned mainly by a body called the Grand Council—to which any Lone Scout may belong, who has passed the seventh de- gree and won aither the booster or Lone Scout contributor title. There are 16 districts, called councils, with a council chief for each, elected each year by the grand councilors. Mary- land, Virginia, and the Bistrict of Co- lumbia compose part of Council 4. Frederick R. Kruelle of Baltimore is the chief. All Scouts should subscribe 0 the official organ, which for this council s the Lone Scout Collector, Georgetown, Del—the oldest Lone Scout magazine published. This sum- mer Council 4 will have & rally—a get- together of all Scouts to be held in Bal- timore on. July 4 and 6. Armstrong Perry Is expected to attend. All Lone Scouts Interested in advano- Ing the L. 5. A. are getting new mem- bers and new readers for the offictal magazine, Boys' Life, Titles are given, “La 0." (Lone Scout Organizer) for earning 10 boosting points (10 new members or an equivalent in eubscrib- ers) and “L. 8. B (Lone Scout Booster) for éarning 20 boosting points. With the L. S.

It gives a divided into three The first three brief description of each magazine, prizes, etc. Through the efforts of loyal Lone Scouts and the Long House the L. 5. A. has for some time had & regular weekly Lone Scout program broadcast from WLS, Chicago, every Wednesday night at 8:15. On Wednesday, April 15, the cholr of the Fullerton Parkway Presby- terian Church will appear in a musical program, and on April 22 the Rev. Her- bert Hines, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Kankakee, 111, will give a talk on_“Scouting and the Church.” Contributions for this column, or questions, should be addressed to J Hugh Taylor, 1408 Meridian place northwest. The last session of the Court of Honor before the close of this year's hotly contested advancement contest will be held next Tuesday evening, April 14, at Eplphany Parish House. Because of the intense interest in third place as well as the struggle for first place between the two leading troops, a large attendance Is anticlpated. The contest closes April 15; and Troop 99, of St. Martin's Parish, is leading for first place by a margin that can hardly be overcome, and so s practically as- sured of victory. Scouts bave been asked again this year to usher at the special Kaster service held this morning at Temple Heights, Florida avenue and Columbia road. Col. E. L. Mattice, deputy com- missioner of the Fourth Division, is handling the Scout end of the program, with several troops of that division as- sisting him. Dr. Paul Bartsch has secured Prof W. Reed West of the George Wash- ington University as an examiner in civics for the Fourth Divieion, and also as a member of the Court of Honor. Deputy Commissioner E. L. Mattice has offered a cup for the best drilled squad from any troop in the Fourth Di- vision. The competition will be held at a date and place to be announced later, with three U. S. Army officers as the Judges, and the commands given by a top sergeant of the Marine Corps. The cup will be awarded to the winning troop at a campfire to be held June 13, Big plans are being made for the di- vislonal indoor celebration to be held at the Powell School on Saturday eve- ning, April 25. President L. A ad is to speak, and fleld day prizes, eagle badges, and other awards will be made. At this rally the new Harry M. Crandall trophy cup will be on exhibition. The celebration will follow the regular meet- Ing of the Court of Honor and Court of Review The schedule is now complete for the annua! Spring Scout field meets. Tha Second and Fourth Divisions will hold their contests next rday, April 1 the I%irst, Third, and Fifth Divisions on April 25; and the city finals will be held at the Wilson Re ion, Burnt Mille, on May 2: with the intercity competi- tion at Bolling Field on June 6 The indoor rally of troops of the First Division has been postponed until tomorrow evening, April 13, in the gym- nasium of the Sherwood Presbyterian Church, Tomorrow evening, April 13, the scoutmasters and other officials of the Third Division will meet at the Church of the Covenant for thelr monthly round-table discussion An intertroop pow-wow has be arranged between Troops 13, 67 and 7 at the Y.

Troop 508 rallled to the call of ad- vancement last Saturday evening at the Court of Reviews for first class and sec- ond class tests. Two Scouts were ad- vanced from second class to first class and 11 from tenderfoot to second class. Troop 508 expects to beat any troop in advancement during April, May and June, Scout Louis Stokes, recently advanced to first class Scout and patrol leader of the Buffalges, gave an interesting talk and demonstration of first aid on Monday night at the Birney School Community Center. The demonstration was entirely original and it presented to the boys a real idea of the second class requirements. Scout Stokes had bee planning for this event since his en- trance in the Scouf organization. Scout Fletcher Robb, second se Scout, was elected as patrol leader of the Tigers and at the patrol meeting on Tuesday gave a special program, in- cluding refreshments, planned and pre- pared by himself. The patrol leaders’ meeting on Wed- nesday was a success. Officers were nominated and will be elected at the next session, which will be held in the regular meeting at St. Augustine's Church next Wednesday. Flans were completed for the week-end hike at the regular meeting. On Thursday badges will be given to the Scouts who passed the court, W. L.
