SCOUT BOAT RIDE T0 ATTRACT 2,200 Points of Interest Along Po- tomac to Be Described by Veteran Skipper. Points of interest along the Potomac will be illumined by searchlight and described by Capt. Eppa Dodson, veteran Wilson Line skipper, during the Districc Boy Scout Council's moonlight excursion Thursday night. The pilot'’s description will be relayed among the passengers by Jjamboree guides using megaphones. Another feature of the excursion, sponsored by the council to raise funds for new equipment and im- provements at Camp Roosevelt, will be dance music by a regular orchestra and a 15-piece accordion band pro- vided by Homer L. Kitt Co. The trip also will be enlivened by group singing of tunes popular at the Scout camp near Chesapeake Beach, which is scheduled to open its twenty- first season June 24. Linn C. Drake, Scout executive, in charge of arrangements for the excur- sion, believes the boat's capacity of 2,200 persons will be taxed, according to the ticket sale. In case of an overload, tickets for the excursion will be honored by the Wilson Line on Friday and Saturday nights. Although depending on the general public to make the excursion a suc- cess, the trip will attract many Scout officials and will be the medium for a reunion of veteran Scouts. The boat will leave the Seventh street wharves at 7:30 p.m., return- ing about 10:45. Tickets may be obtained from any Boy Scout or at Scout headquarters, 1018 Vermont avenue.

C, TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1935. | Alaska Colonists® Tent City Turned Into Laundry for Day By the Associated Press. PALMER, Alaska, May 14.—Today was “ironing day” in the canvas households of the Matanuska colonists. Taking advantage of their first real opportunity for laundry work since they left Minnesota, the wives of the farmers were busy over washtubs in front of nearly every tent yesterday. Soon the city was a network of filled clothes lines. Most of the women used wash- boards, for only a few brought power washers. Construction of a community cen- ter will be started within a few days, and will be well under way by the time the last of the families arrive " say VALUE at their regular prices - from Wisconsin and Michigan the end of the month. The center, to be located near the present railroad station, will supply many of the colony’s needs. It will be used as a gymnasium in connection with a school, tc be built later this Summer, and also as a recreation hall for dancers. There will be a place for movies in the basement and a steam plant to provide electric power for the other buildings to be erected nearby. These will include the school, a warehouse, creamery, poultry hatch- ery, auto and equipment maintenance shop and a water pumping plant. The school is to be completed before Fall, but the poultry hatchery will have to walt until the settlers can grow feed for their chickens. A sewer is to be laid to the river, 2 miles away. By midweek the colonists will be started on the clearing of areas large enpugh for homes on each of the 40- acre tracts, which are to be allotted as soon as all the 200 families are here. ‘The log houses, to be a story and a half high, will contain a large living room, a kitchen, a bed room and a storage space on the first floor. There will be room upstairs for three small bed rooms if needed, and cellars are planned for food storage. Each house will cost about $1,100. O R Windmill Preserved.

FREE VISAS BANNED Scouts’ Families Must Pay on Entering U. 8. for Jamboree. The House Immigration Committee yesterday amended the Boy Scout jamboree bill in an effort to meet ob- Jections of Representative Tom Blan- ton, Democrat, of Texas, that it would admit 100,000 aliens in contravention of immigration quotas. After hearing the fiery Texan say he was not in favor of “showing any courtesy” to such countries as Great Britain and France, which had not paid their war debts, the committee eliminated “families” of visiting Scouts from those for whom the $8 visa fee may be waived. Scout officials agreed to the change. . ... and now you can have them 12:44pm. | ata dras,ti‘:c'él,ly: reduced price— For Re Comfort—Wear &St Albans Waylite Hats (Featherweight Felts) $ 3.50 Special!
