Camping season has closed. Even though the sun still swings high in the sky, the sky {tself has loet its tender bird-egg blue. One sees a marshaling of swallows and blackbird host: that Autumn here. School has called the youth of the land from their chosen They answered the call and are better equipped because of their od camping e):ge:: ence. For thel WILLIAM GORDON.they learned something that cannot be taught in school—that the ability to create with their own hands is not a lost art. They learned that the “great outdoors’ would make them physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight if they would but heed the advice of instructorsand those who had gone before. Camp Wilson, one of the District of Columbia Boy Scout camps, at Burnt Mills, Md., was the last to closs, hav- ing had the largest and most success- ful season since its beginning. The camp, which but a few weeks ago was fillsd with rollicking Washington boys, fs now deserted. All that re- mains of the many tents that once surrounded its campus on the crest of its wooded hill is the platfarms. Barren as these might seem, they bring some cheer to the boys, because they foretell that another splendid camp will rise upon this site with the coming of Summer. The old swimming hole was the last to be deserted. Unlike a hard- pressed army which retreats from the plain to the hilltop to make its last desperate stand, the boys on the last night of the camping season, in defi- ance of a cald Autumn breeze, went into the valley for a flnal plunge. Long into the night they sat on the towering rocks which lined the banks of the pool, thinking no doubt of the approaching school year and of the tales they would tell their comrades of their exploits during the Summer. That one of them was thinking of school, the writer is certain, for on approaching one small youngster who was busily engaged In gazing across the pool at the shoot-thechute, he said, “School will soon begin,” and the quick reply of those around him was, “Gosh! Aln't it terrible?" Had this young American also been thinking of Deputy Commissioner Marsh's first and only trip down this chute. The story, as told by the boys and by Marsh himself, {8 that he had discovered a new and better way to make fire by friction. He claims that there 1s also an added advantage. The five-foot drop Into the pool auto- matically extinguishes the blaze, and on regaining the surface, one at once feels the need of artificial respiration. Mr. Marsh, on regaining the crest of the hill and endeavoring to make himself comfortable in an easy chalr, promptly challenged Deputy Commis- sioner Mattice to take a journey down the chute—‘‘misery likes company.” At this stage of the discussion, the camp director threw out a life-line by an- nouncing that swimming period was over. Deputy Commissioner Mattice promised to accept the challenge on his next visit to camp. Perhaps, the 1ad had been endeavor- ng to frame a picture in his mind of Skipper” Holbrook making a mplfl descent. For had not the “Skipper been challenged by a youngster im- mediately upon his arrival to take & slide dow: kipper,” having just re- turned from his vacation and being & trifle over-weight, deliberated the ques- tion, but finally accepted. He trimmed his salls and prepared for & trip down. At this stage, the telephone rang and “Skipper” was forced to cancel the trip because of an urgent business call. It is reported that he still away on business. “Skipper’ thoroughly convinced that a telephone is an ab- solute necessity in any camp. The camp director is inclined to agree with him—that is, if the telephone is in some other tent than quarters. Those who have experienced the jo: of a country telephone with 60 on the line can readily understand. There is quite a difference of opinion in regard to the chute. The ‘*dare- devil” scout thinks that 20 feet should be added, with another dizzy anxle. The more conservative think that a 24-foot section should be taken off and the drop into the pool should be not so high. Mr. Marsh Is willing to line up with the conservative group, while Col. attice—not having had Mr. Marsh’s experience with chutes—will rally to the support of the ‘‘dare- devils.” Page them both, scouts, they are on_the camping committee. Another of that silent group was perhaps thinking of an amusing and mbarrassing incident which occurred lufln‘ one of the weekly trips of a group of the Wilson boys to Fort ‘Washington. Thmui% the munn{ of Maj. Glassford, t! ¥s were invited to take weekly trips to the fort on the General Rucker. During one of the early trips every one, including the was attempting to act it was report. od that there was a general on It was four bells and all was well on the officers’ deck. Twenty-five sllent Scouts were quletly sitting along the rt rail, gasing at a lazy sailing ship, ck of this group sat a party of off- cers with their families, enjoying a chicken luncheon. One of the party was dressed in men in uniforms, with a “chicken" on each shoulder and with “drum sticke’ in their hands. The camp director decided that this offered an opportunity to mess the boyvs with the least amount of commo- tion—something that always precedes a mess at a boys’ camp. Armed with a large box of sandwiches, he was gliding along the line, endeavoring to serve each boy without letting the xt boy know untll he was reached x&t mess was in progress. He falled to take just one thing into account— that “Cousin” of Troop 11 was in the group._ The odor of tried chicken from the officers’ party had attracted his keen sense of smell, and upon turning to locate the source he discovered that Scout mess was in progress. As was hia custom in camp, with the first note of the bugle he premptly broagdcast “Mess!” The man in ‘“civies,"” not be- ing accustomed to such loud explo- slons, dropped his drumstick en route to its gutlnaurfi. ‘The man in “civi was the general. On their return to camp a kangaroo court was held, with “Cousin” the de- fendant. Without eounsel, he was tried. The camp or was unable to discover the nature of the sentence. Ask Cousin.

But now there s & sound that breaks this ailence on the rocks; a sound which no Scout can mistake. Leverton, the ‘“‘ace” Scout bugler, is sounding call to quarters, and a tow minutes later taps; and, for Washing- ton Scouts, the end of the camping season. 1 was not in this camp.

This honor is usually conterred L upon the most popular boy in the troop during encampment. One of the many advan of this exalted position is the fact that he can call upon any boy in the troop to di- vide sweets with him. In fact, he is a real king in every sense of the word. This honor was conferred on Dick FEaly, now better known as ng Toney did not abuse his priv- {leges and, as proof that he is & real boy and appreciated the honor con- ferred upon him, he coversd himself and troop with glory in the big field meet held July Life Scout Willlam Gordon of Troop 64 won the medal for being the best Scout in camp during the season. ‘While at camp he gained the rank of life Scout, besides earning his camp letter, Being a junior Red Cross life- saver, he rendered valuable service as life guard during the swimming period. He was a dependable boy and & “real Scout.” Other Scouts who recelved their camp letters were: D.

Physical development played an im- portant part in the camping program. It was crowded with games that kept the boys outsidc and moving with proper rest and class periods between. Swimming, base ball, volley ball, basket ball, boxing and wrestling were the leading sports, and indulged in by all. George Rents and “’illfim Gor- don were the outstanding boxers in the 100-pound class. Each demon- strated exceedingly good form in lead ing, guarding and foot work. *Little Bit” Derosa was outstanding in the flywelght class. “Georgetown” of Troop 3, while not possessing the science of Rentz and Gordon, was al- ways a dangerous adve to en- counter. Happy Jones of Troop 25 and “Spivis” of Troop 61 were the outstanding wrestlers. Scout advancement was encouraged and the boys were given every ad- vantage to pass tests. The require- ments for the camp letter included a review of all the principal branches of scouting, speclal emphasis being placed on life-saving, swimming and forestry. Mr. Marsh, deputy commis- sioner of the third division, was chief r::.mln:r .'u;\d I‘n-u-uclor in life-sav- and swimming. Mr. Mattoon of the United Gtates Forestry Service rendered valuable aid as instructor and examiner in forestry and conser- vation. Courts of honor were fre- quent. . That Washington Scouts took ad- vantage of what was offered them at this camp is shown by the fact that there were approximately 2,700 boy- nights spent under canvas. This was the largest number of Scouts ever in attendance at this camp. Besides this number of Washington boys in at. tendance, there were approximately “Lf:mlboy»nl‘hth' spent b visiting COULs as guests of the Wi Council.

MEMORIAL DRIVE. | OFFICE OPENS HERE Campaign in Every State Proposed to Erect Great Shrine to Motherhood. Headquarters of the Mothers’ Me- morial Foundation has been estab- lished here on the fifth floor of the Lenox Building, and the selection of campaign groups which are to carry the fund-raising campaign into every State is rapidly being completed, ac- cording to an announcement by the organization. It is proposed to erect a great me- morial in Washington as a tribute to motherhood, and an extensive pro- gram of humanitarian services also is contemplated. Headed By Gov. Smith. ‘The Mothers’ Memorial Foundation is headed by Gov. Smith of New York as president general, and Maj. Gen. George W. Goethals is the vice presi- dent in charge of disbursement and ‘Washingtonians in the organizations include Capt. C. C. Cal- houn, Peyton Gordon, Dr. Milton Fair- child, Wade Ellis and Judge Charles B. Kerr. The governors of many States have pledged to act as execu- tive officers of the foundation within their own jurisdiction, it is said, and have appointed representatives to serve on the general advisory board. State committees have been formed of men and women active in all walks of life. Dr. E. B. Russell of New York is now in Washington where he will re- main as executive director of the cam- paign, and a stait of field secretaries has been organized. The Memorial Building will cost approximately $15,- 000,000. The architectural designs of the building are being worked out by Jo- seph W. Geddes of Washington. ““While this building will be a monu- ment,” Dr. Russell sald yesterday aft- ernoon, “it will bs more than that, for it is designed for utilitarian pur- poses and will be the center from which will radiate a dozen or more activities along educational, social, philanthropic and economic lines. Memorial to Women. . “Those comprising the Mother Memorial Foundation believe that the need exists at present for a tangible memorial in recognition of what the women of all times, and capecially the women of this country, have done in behalf of humanity. Womanhood {8 best symbolized by motherhood, and since motherhood {8 the greatest of all services it has been desmed ex- pedient to erect a memorial which will be a temple of service. ‘A cold monument, which has no other purpose than to appeal to the esthetic senses, Is not suftable when one would perpetuate the glories of womanhood, and most of all mother- hood. Therefore the Mothers’ Memo- rial Foundation wsince its incorpora- tion has looked to the erection of a building which will make the esthetjc appeal through the beauty of fts architecture, which will have senti- mental value by reason of the noble cause to which it {s dedicated and which will meet in a special manner the needs of present-day humanity Dr. Russell also explained that one of the principal activities of the Mothers® Memorial Foundation will be to provide educational opportunities for underprivileged boys and girls. ‘To meet this problem an educational commission has been formed, with which Dr. John H. Finley, formerly United States commissioner of educa- tion, is prominently identified. Fed- eral Judge Willlam A. Bondy of New York who {s a member of the w York board of regents, is also hd 19 NGINEERS ATTACK " TRAFFIC PROBLEM National Societies to Seek Solution—All Chapters Asked to Co-Operate.
