SCOUTS' FOUNDER SHIES AT CAMERA Lord Baden-Powell Visits Jamboree Site at Abing- don Farms. Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, looked unflinchingly at Boer guns when Britain warred on South Africa, but today he turned his back on a battery of cameras and ex- claimed: “I can’t stick these photographers. T'll go back to town rather than face | them.” His lordship, red-faced, 78 and rugged, had just arrived in Commis- sioner Allen’s car at the Abingdon| Farms headquarters of the Boy Scout Jjamboree, which is expected to,draw at least 25,000 boys to Washington the | week of August 21 to 30. Later, the Commissioner and Dr. James E. West, president of the United States Boy Scouts, persuaded the Englishman to pose for his pic- ture before the farm house which is the center of the jambouree opera- tions. Says He's Too Busy. “Really, you know,” the famous sol- dier who launched the Scout move- ment in 1908 declared, “I have wmore to do than talk with these reporters. I came out here to see this show. Let's be off to it. Il greet the newspaper men at 2:30, when I'm in uniform.” With that, he began a tour of in- spection of the farms and was told | these statistics: The Jamboree will attract the largest | encampment in United States history, | aside from Army encampments. | Sixteen thousands feet of sewer pipe | have been laid for it. ! One million eight hundred and| eighty thousand gallons of hot and cold water will be used. Two hundred cooks are being hired in Virginia, North Carolina, Mary'and and Pennsylvania to run the 144 char- coal-heated oven units. The encampment will be spread | over Abingdon, Columbia Island. East | Potomac Park and the cricket | ground. There will be 21 sections, | each to care for 1,200 Scouts and scouters, the men in charge. Eight Tents in Section. i In each section will be eight tents| —a quartermaster, kitchen, exhibition, administration, activities, club, trad- ing post, post office and hospital. Each section will have a shower | bath unit, with 18 sprays. A shower supervisor will herd 32 boys into the bath at once, pull a release, let the water run for a minute and then order them out. In this way the or-| ganizers of the jamboree hope to pro- vide baths for 1,200 a day in each unit within two hours. Lord Baden-Powell left the jam- boree site bound for a conference with Surg. Gen. Hugh S. Cumming to con- sider all phases of safeguarding the health of the thousands of youngsters, most of them between 12 and 15 years of age. | His lordship was to see President Roosevelt at 1 o'clock, greet the press | in uniform at District Scout head- quarters, 1014 Vermont avenue, at/ 2:30 o'clock, and take a train with | his two daughters, Betty and Heather | Baden-Powell, for ‘New York at 4 o'clock. Meanwhile, Commissioner Allen ap- | pealed to Washington to “welcome the | Scouts with a cordiality that will re- | flect the spirit of our city,” and above | all, is “to make sure that our full | quota of Scouts is given the prlvflege. of ncendh:z the gathering as dele-\ gates.” | | with cries of ‘scandal,’ flame and fire Officials shown visiting the site of the Scout jamboree to be held August 21 to 30.

Defends Italian Position. Stating Italy’s cause was justifiable, | he asserted nevertheless the nation has received no invitation to an| extraordinary League Council meeting | about July 25 to deal with the Italo- | Ethiopian impasse. Informed circles predicted Italy | would accept such an invitation, but would refuse to yield any of its de- | mands and would oppose any further | League efforts to liquidate the erisis. | The article in the Popolo d'Italia said Ethiopia’s military preparations, coupled with constant border inci- dents. constituted a menace which France or England “would confront if they occurred upon their frontiers.” Terming the League of Nations “a great insurance society for constituted empires,” it said Italy did not need | the League because as yet it had no | empire. Without Italy, however, the article said, the League would have difficulty in “saving its face.” The comment indicated that League members should | be cautious about offending Italy. Foreigners Are Blamed. The responsibility for Italy’s diffi- | culties with Ethiopia were laid by the newspaper upon the East African em- pire itself and upon- “foreign adven- turers who furnished :t with arms.” The ministry of propaganda’s com- munique, charging Ethiopia with the May 31 attack on the Italian Dancali Airport Floating in Potomac Proposed to House D.

Leroy Pelletier, nationally- known thority. The airport would be constructed of | reinforced concrete on a turn table | that would revolve with the wind. It | 1is estimated to cost $2,500,000 and ac- | cording to Pelletier, could be completed in a period of from four to six months. Chairman Mary 7.

The area in which the turntable would revolve is inclosed by a dike. A series of drawbridges hydraulically operated would connect the floating pontoon with the roadway. These | bridges when closed would serve to | [i anchor the floating airport in any position thus preventing any motion when vehicles are passing or planes landing or taking off. Pelletier pointed out that flood lights erected in the line of travel of all planes would illuminate the white expanse of the arrow-shaped surface, so it can be seen by pilots miles away.

These leaders were <alled responsi- ble for the infiltration into Eritrean Dancali of large contingents of the | Dammohoita tribe and the Alaita tribe of Ethiopian Dancali.

Italian reinforcements were sent from Assab, but were unable to reach the scene, the communique said, be- fore the raiders killed and wounded numbers of native herders, with their women and children, and made off with 4,000 head of cattle, as well as many slaves. in response to commanas that they should not pursue the raiders beyond the frontier.

C., THURSDAY, BRITISH CABINET STUDIES' CRISIS Officials Silent on Next Step in Effort to Prevent Conflict. By the Associated Press. # LONDON, July d48—The British cabinet today gave careful attention to the crisis between Italy and Eth- lopia but, according to reliable sources, made no decisions as to what the next British step toward peace may be. It was understood that diplomatic discussion -between Great Britain, Prance and Italy is reaching a more definite stage, but the outlook for a change in the Italian viewpoint con- cerning arbitration of the dispute still is dark. Envoys’ Reports Studied. The cabinet reviewed reports from Sir George Russell Clerk, British Am- bassador to Paris, and Sir Eric Drum- mond, British Ambassador to Rome, and considered possible British steps at the forthcoming League Council session in Geneva. ‘The cabinet was said to have dis- cussed a proposal that Great Britain advocate at Geneva the appointment of a commission to report on the dis- pute. The proposal was referred to as “another Lytton Commission.” (The commission headed by Lord Lytton, which reported to the League on the Japanese conquest of Man- churia and which led to Japan's with- drawal from the League.) Some circles said British diplomats may emphasize the need of Italy's explaining more clearly the reasons for its anticipated invasion of Ethiopia. Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secre- | tary, however, declined to discuss be- fore the House of Commons yester- day the government’s program for the League Council session. Request Is Considered. He asserted that the European powers have taken under considera- tion Ethiopia’s recent request to the League for appointment of neutral observers on the Italo-Ethiopian fron- | tiers and that it probably will be dis- cussed at the League meeting. Officials still expressed hope, how- | ever, that some way might be found | to prevail on Italy to participate in | further arbitration or full discussion of | the possibility of conciliatory pru- cedure. { home. bring back your friends bring *em back alive to in your memory book you go.

SOUTHAMPTON, July 18.—Lady Ashley, arriving here today with Douglas Fairbanks, sr., on the 8. 8. Empress of Britain, said there was no chance of them murrying this yeir be- cause she “wouldn’t think of making him a bigamist.” The former dancer and the Amer- jcan movie star were both in cheerful mood as they returned after their five-month absence from England, but Fairbanks refused to discuss “private affairs.” Lady Ashley came right to the point: “He couldn't be married if he wanted to until the divorce in Cali- fornia becomes final in January. I cannot say what will happen after this year. We might be dead by She parried questions about a plati- num ring on the third fm‘zer of her left hand. After a month in Germany, Fair- banks and Lady Ashley plan to go to Japan. “I am going to help produce Japanese films which will appeal to the whole world,” said Fairbanks. “Put Your Car in Safe Hands” - = Anniversary DO YOU KEEP YOUR CAR FIT?
