The major event, however, in which practically every Scout on the campus took part, was the possum hunt Nearly all Scouts in Washington have followed tr laid with paper and Scout signs, but Saturday was the first time that Scouts followed a trail with elr noses. Comdr. Badger used nana oil for a trail of over 2 and it was extremely interesting 85 Scouts actually following the trail of the “possum” with their noses. “Johnny” Cotton's team, Troop 62, found and captured the “possum large box of candy. These activities of the afternoon were followed by campfire in the evening. ay there was a late reveille, and e Rev. H. T. Cocke of iscopal Church, Chevy se, conducted church services. The nder of the day was spent with the routine activities for Sunday. Sergt. Lape, the United States Ma- rine Corps cook, who has become a gre. favorite with the Scouts of Wasi..gton, was entirely overwhelmed with the number of boys using the camp, and found it necessary to run two messes in his mess hall and the third mess on the campus. Monday, September 7, at 11 a.m., H. L. Webster, field Scout executive the second division, organized the steeplechase and started the fun fes- tival off. About 75 charm pops were used a trail. At 2 pm. all the Scouts adjourned to the swimming pool and ‘every Scout entered the bathing beauty contest. This was won by Robert Burke of Troop 42, and he received the beautiful cup donated for the purpose by Assistant Deputy Commissioner Paul Garber of the first division. The event was followed by a contest, using the shoot-the-chutes and zing rings stretched along the chutes. Practical- 1y “all hands” tok part in that. The Scouts then adjourned to the campus and Sergt.

This idea, states that magazine, originated with Troop 19 of Madison, Wis. The boys wanted a forest they could call their own, where they could build up, knowing their labors would endure, and where they could practice their woodcraft in true Scout style. So they lald their plan before the regents of the University of Wis- consin, who were prompt to accede to the boys’ request. The regents set apart and dedicated to the Boy Scouts a tract of wooded university land known as Eagle Heights, which slopes down to the beautiful shore of Lake Mendota. The tract is only a short nce from the city. en a 10-year plan for the use and development of the forest was drawn up. The construction of trails, fire lines, picnic and camp grounds, signal towers and rustic bridges, reforesta- tion, improvement thinnings of the forest and studles of tree growth are features of the outline. The work, of course, is to be done by the Boy Scouts year by year, thus eventually bringing the forest to the ideal state by Boy Scout use and pro- ductive service. An interesting addition every year will be the planting of an honor tree to celebrate the election to honorary Scout membership of the first baby boy born on May 1 in the city of Madison. ‘A Nation-wide movement for Boy Scout forests, modeled on this plan of permanent use and development.” continues the forestry publication, “would be a tremendous force -in American boyhood; indeed, a force in the forest attitude of the whole Na- tion.”" In New York State alone, Scouts of localities have reforested 126 acres. Practically all of the work has been done in the last 3 years. The boys have planted 126,000 trees, states a report of the Conservation Commis- sion. Many of the troops plan to con- tinue work yearly on their own camp sites or {n municipal forests. The Buffalo Boy Scouts led with 33,000 trees planted between 1921 and 1925; Albany Scouts came next with 19,000, and Rome was third with 18, 000. Following were Canandaigua with 12,500; Wampsville, 10,000; Am- sterdam, 2,600; Arcade, 1,000; Auburn, 500; De Ruyter, 1,000; Haverstraw, 1,000; Jamestown, 2,000; Lockport, 2,000; Manchester, 500; Rochester, 1,000; Binghamton, 6,000; Syracuse, 5,000; Utica, 2,000; White Plains, 3,000, and Hornell, 6,00 19 « Rare Butterflies Lost. From the New York Times. g “Don't swat the butterfly” has been the appeal broadcast throughout Eng- land in an effort to save the rarer sort of English butterfiles from extinc- tion. The butterflies, it seems, are suffering from a too intense study of nature by schools and collectors, and thousands of the rare kinds have been pinned down under glass cases. A committee, representative of the leading entomological socleties, has been appointed to conduct a “save- the-butterfly campaign,” and it has been suggested that America should be appealed to for a new supply of butterfiies. Dr. B. Daydon Jackson, secretary of the Linnaen Soclety, says the fa- mous large Cooper butterfly is now extinct, specimens of these bringing as high a price as $200. America, he adds, is having similar difficulty, and the experts of both countries might well unite to save the butterfly from the greedy collector. Copley Courts 1514 17th St. N.W.

Correspondence of the Associated Pres CAMBRIDGE, England, August 13. —G. H. Hamilton of Trinity College soon will present to the International Astronomical Unjon what he regards conclusive evidence of the existence on Mars of sentlent beings with a civilization of 90,000 years to their credit. “My proofs are forthcoming,” said Dr. Hamilton recently, “that Mars is in the condition the earth is approach- ing—that is, a desert. Once it had seas, but they have disappeared. The mountains and hills are gone, worn away by wind erosion. The canals are not ditches nor water courses, as com- monly supposed, but vegetation on each side of condulits of water. These conduits are routes of travel for com- merce and anything else.” What Tomorrow Means to You| BY MARY BLAKE. Virgo. Tomorrow'’s planetary aspects are just as adverse as those of today are favorable. The signs denote worry and depression. Such influences do not encourage new adventures or engender Initiative. On the contrary, they counsel entire abstention from the exploration of “fresh fields and pastures new.” So far as work is concerned, all pitfalls can be avoided by attending only to routine duties, and ellminating anything of an un usual or a significant character. In regard to your private life and ac- tions, every effort must be con- centrated on maintaining poise and thinking deliberately. Any yielding to impulse, while such adverse con ditions prevaill, will lead only to regrettable consequence: Children born tomorrow will, al- though Inherently healthy and lusty, suffer to some extent from infantile allments. With proper nutrition and vigllant care, no danger need be ap- prehended. In disposition and char- acter the boy who makes his advent into the world tomorrow, will be frank, honest and always considerate of others. Notwithstanding these rather rare qualities, he will not be sl ' but always ready to hold his own against those who try to bully him. A girl, on the other hand, wiil develop a streak of selfishness, and this, if allowed to grow, will bring on the attendant evils of conceit and an arbitrariness that will not conduce to her happiness or that of her assoclates. If tomorrow is your birthday, it would be advisable for you ta bear in mind that thrift and frugality are great virtues. When, however, they are carried to excess, they create an atmosphere of stinginess. Nothing is more commendable than provision for a rainy day. There is no need, how- ever, to be in constant apprehension of a’storm. The extreme saving habits that you practice ten to warp your whole character. Your mind is so busy with petty economies that you lose sight of the big issues of life. You have ability and great tenacity of purpose, but invest these assets as a retailer rather than a wholesaler, The “almighty dollar” is sought by all. There are, notwithstanding, many other things, especlally eonsideration of others and forgetfulness of self, that bring more happiness of mind and contentment of spirit than the possession of wealth. ‘Well known persons born on this date are: Willlam H.

FIVE-WATT TUBE SENDS - BROADCAST 1,000 MILES Tests Show Smaller Voltage as Good as 50 Watts in Some Cases. Can a G5-watt transmitting tube equal the results produced by a 50- watter? Amateur radio experimenters throughout the United States are deeply interested in comparisons be- cause many of them cannot afford the accessories necessary to operate the 50-watt tube. The first announcement of the results of short-wave tests car- ried out at the Garden City laboratory, where the special Radio Broadcast- Eveready experiments are being made, showed that under somewhat unfa- vorable conditions a 5-watt tube with only 200 volts of dry B battery on the plate was good for a communication range of about 1,000 miles. Tests were conducted by the Garden City laboratory with amateur station 4JR, Gastonia, N. C., from the Radio- Broadcast-Eveready experimental sta- tion, 2GY. A 5-watt tube with 200 volts on the plate was used and it drew 4.8 watts. 4JR is approximately 500 miles from 2GY. Then the input to the tube was reduced and communica- tion established with station 4WK, at Jacksonville, Fla. When the Input read only 1.2 watts, 4KW reported that the 2GY signals were R4 to Rb, which means “fair to moderately strong” at a distance of 983 miles. It {s a common practice of trans- mitting amateurs to pile on all the plate voltage possible in order to at- tain great distance, but the first of the short wave experiments conducted at the Garden City laboratory would point to that practice as unnecessary. The experiments also show that the ary cell B battery can be used for transmitting as well as recelving. — The Perfect Tribute. From Everybody's Magazine. In the old S newspaper reporters covering metropolitan local assign- ments all wore firemen's badges with a special inscription, “Admit within fire lines only.” The understanding was that they entered burning build- ings at their own risk. A veteran police and fire reporter, much beloved by all the fraternit: died suddenly in one of the big citles. A cub reporter, delegated to pick out an appropriate floral tribute decided to make it a masterplece. At the funeral the most conspicuous thing was his enormous floral piece of white roses which covered the casket. It was made in the shape of a fireman's badge and attracted somewhat startled attention.
