BOY SCOUT PAGE. SEA SCOUTS PROVE SKILL IN REGATTA Comets Race in Stiff Breeze. Health at Jamboree Re- ported Excellent. Sea Scouts held the spotlight at the jamboree yesterday, staging sail- boat, oar and canoe races off Hains’ Point and demonstrating the efficiency of their training with life-saving and seamanship tests. An appreciative gallery braved an afternoon downpour and crowded the shore about the Sea Scout base on the Anacostia River of the point. The various types of sailing craft started racing in the rain, with a stiff wind bending them at sharp an- gles and sending them scudding along, but they slowed later as the rain stopped and the breeze fell. Peature sailing event was a comet race—16-foot sloops—of 11 local boats manned by Sea Scouts. It was won by Mac Lamborne's Freya with Scouts Dick Kitchen and Delbert Harris as crew. In the handicap sailing race the winner was an 18-foot sloop manned by a group of Sea Scouts from St. Louis and Omaha. The course was approximately a mile, from the mouth of Washington Channel around the point and around a stake boat sta- tioned in Georgetown Channel. ‘The single-paddle canoe race went %o the New York-New Jersey entry. The two-paddle canoe event was won by the entry from the region of Min- nesota and the Dakotas. The Cali- fornia-Arizona contingent triumphed n the four-man canoe race. Rowing Races Held. In the rowing races, the four-oared event also went.to the Scouts from California and Arizona, the five-oared Tace to the New England boys and the dash for 10-oared boats to the group from Ohio, West Virginia and Ken- tucky. 8Some of the craft used in the re- gatta were brought here by the Sea Scouts by their home bases. The comet cloops were furnished by the Capital ‘Yacht Club, whole row-boats were pro= vided by the Coast Guard. The Navy contributed floats and motor launches. Commodore Chester Wilson of Wash- ington was in charge of arrangements. Ashore the prolonged showers which fell at intervals Sunday night and vesterday turned portions of the huge eamp into mires. Mud-encased shoes and spattered uniforms replaced the spic perfection with which the Scouts welcomed visitors to camp yesterday. Midwestern Pageant Tonight. Folklore of the Middle West, from Indian ceremonies to the fabulous ex- ploits of the giant lumberman, Paul Bunyan, will be featured in the Scout arena show at 8 o'clock tonight. The general theme is “Scouting Trails to | High Adventuge,” and the show will be staged by boys from Michigan, Wis- consin, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Montana, North and South Dakota. The pageant will include a block- house fort, a model logging eamp and scenes of pioneer days. The Indian story will be directed by Ralph Hub- bard, nationally-known authority on $he subject. Lord Baden-Powell, founder of 8couting and universally-acclaimed chief Scout of the: world, will broad- cast a message to the 25,000 or more Boy 8couts attending the National Jamboree between 6:45 and ¥ pm. today. His message will be broadcast by short wave from London #o the RCA short-wave receiving station at River- head, Long Island, relayed from there by telephone line to the National Broadcasting Co.s master control room at Radio City, where it will be | rebroadcast by the N. B. C. system | and sent by “pipe line” to the public | address system in the jamboree camp. Health Continues Good. ‘The health record of the jamboree eamp is continuing exceptionally high. During the last two days there have been only seven admissions to the hospital from the eamp. Two of them yesterday were for mumps and were from widely separated parts of the eamp. There have been six mumps eases all told, far below the normal pate for a population of 25,000, Of the five cases Sunday, two were broken collar bones—Scout Don Weiss, the result of a foot ball injury, and Leon Payne, who fell while climbing & fence. One was for observation for possible appendicitis, which failed to develop; one for catarrhal fever, treated and discharged, and one for | tetanus injection following a scratch | In a fall on a bridle path. There have been 93 hospital admis- slons from the jamboree camp since the Scouts began to arrive, according to the records of Surgeon W. L. Smith, Public Health Service, chief medical officer of the jamboree. There have been 54 of these cases *‘closed out.” Maj. Smith emphasized that many of the cases were 80 minor thai had the boys been home, a physician would not have been consulted—no chances are being taken at the jamboree, Recovering After Transfusion. The most serious of the jamboree cases is that of Stanley “Buddy” Brown, jr, Scout from Marblehead, Mass., who slipped and fell against a ladder at the Airport Pool July 1. He was taken to Naval Hospital for ob- servation for internal injuries. His spleen ruptured Sunday. The abdomen was opened by Navy surgeons and the boy's father, Stanley Brown, who had been summoned from Marblehead, supplied blood for a transfusion. The Boout, Maj. Smith said, “is doimg very well, indeed.” Scout Bill Braley, operated on at Naval Hospital June 27 for removal of a ruptured appendix, is making an exceptionally rapid recovery and is ex- pected to be back in camp today.

Climate Find Heavy Rains The native sons of California are crack campers, but they were still slightly damp, and inclined to be a bit critical of the Washington climate, after several long, wet nights under canvas. The lads from the sunshine coast | arrived in the rain, laid out their com- | pany streets in the rain, pitched their | tents in the rain, and if they didn't | sleep in the rain they have slept un- | comfortably near it once or twice. | The other morning, down near High- | way Bridge, on the Washington side of the Potomac, the Californians aired | their bedding, duffle and opinions of regions not blessed with Summer skies of perpetual blue. Objects to Climate. “Huh, so this is the Capital of the | Nation,” bitterly exclaimed a sun- | stained tow-head, as he spread a sop- ping blanket in the morning sunlight. “Well, they may have the Washing- ton Monument and the White House, but I can't hand them much on their climate!™ The Scout campers had been ac- customed to sleep on ground covers and in sleeping bags under star-stud- ded Western skies, they said, with only the gentle California dew to guard against. In Washington, however, all that was changed. The Scouts had to get something waterproof over their heads, in the shape of “Dan Beard” tents, Indian tepees, or the squad tents pro- vided here, and something dry under- foot. Californians Shovel. This entailed digging trenches about the tent walls, and plenty of them. The Californians shoveled and shoveled. boys,” ordered a Scout master. “They say wind storms as well as rain storms blow up and down the Potomac!” “Gee,” exclaimed the tow-head, now “Put those tent pegs down deeper, | Slightly Disconcert- ing After Life With (fr:l_y Gentle Dew to Guard Against. moist with perspiration as well as rain ; water, “. .. wind storms, too?" “Yes, and get more hay on the ground in your tents, there . . . you may need it if it rains any more.” “Any more,” exclaimed the Cali- fornian, “we've already had enough for two months.” The Californians devised most of their camping equipment, which they make at home. From muslin and light |canvas they cut tents and ground | | covers. Their mothers stitch the | material and the Scouts waterproof | and color in vivid hues by dipping it in a mixture of ground paint, paraffin |and gasoline. Use Klondike Pack Frames. They earry their bed rolls, tents and equipment on pack frames de- signed after those the gold miners used when hoofing it into the Klon- dike. The frames are made of light ply wood, rawhide thongs and broad shoulder straps of sheep skin with | {the wool inside for padding. The| frames distribute the weight and | provide air circulation across weary back muscles. Members of the Oakland Troop said they could pitch their 32 sleeping tents, two leaders tents and cook tent |in 20 minutes. | “Yeah,” grinned an Eastern Scout, “but that was back in Oakland. Over here, if you pitch a camp in 20 min- utes, you may wake up in the morning wet!™” “‘Oh, yeah,” retorted the Californian. “You've got a pretty good country over here . . . for tadpoles!” About 400 Californians got in a lot of sightseeing on the way over. Some | came Northern, some Southern routes, and theyll reverse the procedure on | the way home. Before the trip is| over they will have seen Northwestern and Southwestern parks, New Orieans, New York and the Hudson. Scout Theaters Popular BY GORDON ENGLEHART, Local Scout Assigned to Cover the Jamboree for The Star. AST becoming the Scouts’ fav- orite afternoon diversion in the jamboree is attendance at the four camp theaters. There is & theater for each major camp site; one near headquarters, one by the Memorial Bridge on the Virginia side, one near the Highway Bridge, also across the river, and one on Hains Point, The tents in which these shows are presented are 40 feet by 80 feet in size, with rounded ends. The stages are 20 feet wide and 18 feet deep, large enough to hold at least one troop of Scouts in close formation. In . front of each stage is a pilano and space for any other musical in- strument desired. Over 500 people can be accommodated for each show. All entertainment is supplied by the Scouts themselves. Registration blanks asking type of act and its special re- quirements are filled in and presented to the director, who sets an hour for try-outs. All acts must come prepared for a final “dress rehearsal” Every detail must be presented before the act will be accepted. Only those meas- uring up to a certain high standard will be taken. ‘The shows are presented twice daily, Sunday, opening and closing days ex- cepted. The curtain rises at 3 p.m. and at 7:30. Time for individual stunts is limited to 5 minutes, and for groups to 15 minutes. Bach pro- sram for the complete show is de- \ Gorden Englehart.

The only scenery supplied by the theaters is simple household furniture—all ex- ceptional sets must be brought by the performers themselves. There is no admission charge for either Scouts or visitors. At first the fact that there was so much to see and so many things to do kept the attendance rather low, but now that the Scouts are more settled and the weather is still rainy, these shows are rapidly gaining popularity. Scouts from Old England mingled with those of New England last night when the British contingent marched to the camp of their American “cou- sins” across the Potomac for a big campfire. Headed by W. R. Spiers and Ed Strang, they arrived in time for supper, after which they joined CAPITAL DOCTORS ATTEND SCOUTS More Than Half of 200 Serv- | ing at Jamboree Are District Physicians. Washington's medical fraternity is pretty well represented at the Boy | Scouts’ jamboree. Of more than 200 doctors and assistants on duty at the | encampment, Washington counts slightly more than half thal number | of physicians—all offering free serv- ices to the Scouts. In 20 sectional hospital units the | | doctors give full-time service to the | 25,250 Scouts—so that no boy need be | neglected. Fortunately, the doctors have little to do, aside from the or- dimary run of medical care; for this | is a healthy bunch of boys—and all | had to pass rigid medical examina- | tions before they left home. The job before the doctors here is to protect the health and safety of the boys—precautionary medicine. To make sure that nothing would happen in the way of an epidemic, the Washington doctors, assisted by | Army and Navy physicians, made a | complete health check-up of each in- dividual as he entered the jamboree grounds. Under the general supervision of | Capt. Fred C. Mills, director of the Boy Scouts’ Health and Safety Serv- ice, is Dr. W. L. Smith of the United | States Public Health Service, who is | acting as chief medical officer of the | Jjamboree, Following is a list of local doctors at the jamboree: Merrill. W. H. Katzman. H.

SCOUT RUNS GAMUT Marshall Brown is the “lucky” Scout of Troop 2, Lockhaven, Pa., and he is having plenty of it, both bad and good. In one day he found a four-leaf clover, lost his pocketbook eontaining $8, recovered it again, cut his finger and topped the whole thing off by falling into the goldfish pond in Ar- lington National Cemetery. New Washington Monument. ‘There are two Washington Monu- ments in the city now, the one which always has been here and another brought from Baltimore. At the en- trance to their section Scouts of troop 7, Baltimore, have set up & small-acale model of the Washington Monument n their eity. Has a Tough Time | —chicken, pork, beef—and rice. Explaining Malady Wilford Charley, 14-year-old Indian Scout from Chin Lee, Ariz, was in & tough spot yes- terday. Charley didn't feel well at all, and he was taken to the hospital tent, but since he speaks no English, he couldn’t explain very lucidly what was wrong. He pointed in the general direc- tion of his stomach, however, and Dr. William Smith, chief surgeon of the jamboree, made s tentative diagnosis of ap- pendicitis. The heroic treatment which followed evoked from the Indian lad a torrent of protesting Navajo, but at last report he was much better, and an operation was deferred and may not be necessary, UPA JAGODOWA 1S GOOD TO EAT I1t’s Blueberry Soup, if You Must Know—Foreign Scouts Praise Cook. Zupa jagodowa, koldolmar, poulet saute marango, poe—this gives you an idea of what E. B. Chewning ran up against when he took on the job of pleasing the palates of the foreign contingents at the Scout jamboree. To add to the confusion, Chewning said, the English boys want coffee with their meals—not tea, but coffee. Their | explanation was: “We're funny that way." The Polish boys came up with a request for their favorite soup course— zupa jagodowa—which, translated lit- erally, means blueberry soup. Said Chewning: “I've never heard of blueberry soup, but if that's what they waat, they'll get it.” Group Demands Koldoimar. About the same time the Swedish group put in a strong demand for kol- | dolmar, something that American menus might list as cabbage a la | stuffed. So yesterday the Polish and Swedish boys had lunch together and invited Chewning as guest of honor. The blue berry soup was served just like any American soup course. The stuffed cabbage was the piece de resistance. For the United States housewife in= terested in blueberry soup, here’s how it's done. Crush the berries into a thin soup, strain, chill and season to suit the taste. It is served with aw: back—maybe you call them croutons— and sour cream, SUgAr Or macaroni. Chewning said it was delicious. The stuffed cabbage contains meats And did it please the Swedes? They prom- ised Chewning practically a whole Scout uniform. Favorite French Dish. Today the French contingent will| be served one of its favorite dishes— poulet saute marango, which is one way of fixing chicken. Tomorrow the Mexicans will have one of their native mealy and on Wednesday, the Ha- waiians will have poe. Chewning said he hadn't been instructed yet as to what poe is or how to make it. For the poulet saute marango, the | French Scouts promised Chewning & beret. The steward already has re- ceived & garrison cap from the Polish youths and a straw lid from the Jamaica boys. He’s found the Siamese Scouts like rice and vegetables and fruit juices particularly. When the French boys can't have chicken the way they like it best, they prefer beefsteak and French fried potatoes. And, of course, they brought their wine along with them. Nicknames Tagged On State Troops By Compatriots Though they came to town with definite troop numbers, the Boy Scouts of America are beginning to get nicknames from their compatriots. ‘Thus, the Kentuckians have become “The Kentucky Colonels.” ‘The Connecticut boys are “The Nut- meggers.” ‘“Yellow Bandits” is the name flung at the District of Columbia troops because several hundred of the local boys are wearinfg yellow Kkerchiefs to designate them as “guides.” ‘The Virginians are called “Johnny Rebs.” Maine and Vermont oys are called “Landon-slides.” Some of the troops, of course, bring their own nicknames with them; for instance, the Nebraskans, known as “The Cornhuskers.” The Iowa troops are called “Tall Grassers.” Mississippi boys are called “Duck Boaters.” Why? Nobody knows. It just seems to be an old boyhood custom to sling around nicknames. ‘The boys from Wisconsin are called “Bunions”—perhaps after the Paul 1 Bunyan tradition, or legend. N\ ogs Unused on By Beard Will Go to Holland Fire Kindled Blaze at Second The camp fire lighted by Dan Beard as a symbol of international friendship will be kept burning during | the jamboree, and its unconsumed | logs will be taken to Holland and | rekindled for a fire to be tended | night and day during the second Jamboree. The fire was kindled last Wednes- | day night with flint and steel in (hr; hands of the “grand old man of | Scoutdom.” Since that time it has been fed night and day by an honor guard with chips and logs from all 48 States of the Union. Unconsumed logs from the fire of friendship will be taken abroad when the American delegation leaves for a jamboree at Voglenzang, which | opens July 30. Each section of Scouts | brought a supply of their native timber for the fire. The logs were set ablaze in the stadium during one of the nightly platform on the jamboree grounds not far from Seventeenth street and Con- stitution avenue. A symbolic cere- mony accompanied the transfer, in | which the Scouts pledged themselves Symbolizing Frieml.;hip Will Be Lighted Again spectacles and transferred to a raised | International Jamboree. to keep the fire alive and Navajo In- dians put on tribal rites The fire will be fed and guarded by eight Scouts from the American and foreign sections on duty in shifts Among the logs are balsam, gu wood, Oregon pine, redwood and in- cense cedar. Scouts carried one of the logs 80 miles to a railroad in the Northwest. Bits of charry wood and ashes from the fire are much sought after as souvenirs. The symbolism of the “perpetual” fire of friendship was explained by Col. Theodore Roosevelt at the recent | exercises. The camp-fire ceremony | has been & part of Scout traditions | for years. The cheery blaze of a camp fire is supposed to create friendship and good will and to stimulate men to an ami- | able discussion of their problems | The idea of a perpetual fire, Scouts are told, originated in prehistoric times, when cave men cherished a | precious flame, the extinction of | which would mean hardship, hunger |and even death from freezing The Scouts at the two jamborees will set an example of friendship and | understanding between the people of | many lands, and the camp fires wil | be kept burning in the name of this | spirit. SCOUTS FROM WEST TO OCCUPY ARENA “Trails to High Adventure” Will | Be Theme of Show Tonight. “Scouting Trails to High Adven- ture” will be the theme of the jam- boree show tonight in the huge arena near Washington Monument, as 4,000 | Scouts from Michigan, Wisconsin, Illi- nois, Indiana, Minnesota, Montana and North and South Dakota present the fourth of the series of displays in the Cavalcade of Scouting. Other shows will be given tomorrow and Thursday evenings. The romance of bygone days which gives color and zest to present-day scouting will be depicted in parades and acts, beginning at 8 pm. It will start with a parade of States, with historical costumes and flags of each section, and will include a cannon salute for each State. The mythical lumberjack, Paul Bun- yan, who shaved with a gigantic ax and fished with a 4-foot hook, will be honored in another parade. Hundreds of boys participating in mass games, an Indian pageant and chariot races will be other high points. The Indian show is under the direc- tion of Ralph Hubbard, national au- thority on the American Indian, his costume, songs and customs. The national champion drum and | bugle corps from Racine, Wis., and bands from region 7 and region 10 of the jamboree enampment will take part in the show. CHILDREN ARE LOST BUT NOT FOR LONG 26,00 Scouts and Amplifier Bring Quick Reunions at Jamboree. Lost children at the jamboree camp get returned to their parents in short order—due to only one amplifier used by the loct and found department and 26.000 Boy Scouts with their ears open. Fast as mothers report the loss of youngsters, the youngsters are re- turned. So it seems. One mother came in yesterday to describe her boy, lost 10 minutes. “Here's a lost boy,” a Scout from the Midwest said. “That's my boy,” the mother said, and dried away her tears. A father arrived at the found department just as came in the tent to report of his father. “This is some service,” the old man said, and walked away with his youngster. SONS TO GO ABROAD James Hoyt, a director of the Mc- Keesport, Pa., group, is believed to be the only Scout at the jamboree who also has two sons here, both of whom are going to the World Jamboree in Holland. The two boys are James Hoyt, jr., 17, an Eagle Scout, and Jack Hoyt, 113, a first-class Scout. Both are in the World Jamboree section. lost and his boy the loss At Camp Swapping has gotten to be too much for the Swedish delegation. ‘Thousands of American Scouts con- centrated on the 400 foreign Scouts, and they cleaned out the Swedish boys. Above the Swedish camp in the in- ternational section is a sign which bears the sad notice: “No more swap- ping.” An example of the development of swapping as a fine art was provided by a Youngstown, Ohio, Scout, who started out with a 10-cent tie clasp and came back two hours later with 25 cents, & base ball and a base ball mitt. A Rhode Islander did even better. He started out with an empty clam ‘shell and finished up with & $1.25 watch. David Lampe, ir., 18, s member of Baltimore Troop 159, is known as . 'No More Swapping Sa(i Sign of Swedish Scouts “Swopsy” to his companions. They gave him this title because of his inclination to trade or swap anything with anybody on the slight- est provocation. In the few days he has been in camp, however, all the items he originally brought from Bal- timore have been traded off, and he frantically has written his parents, who plan to visit him in a few days, to bring him some more stuff. His favorite is neckerchief slides, his prize so far being one from Poland. He claims that every time he swaps he gets the better of the deal. Scouts from Rhode Island brought with them a famous New England recipe for johnnycake, which they used as & basis for “swapping.” awapped johnnycake recipes for every- thing from tax tokens from States having sales taxes to autographs. - They REVEN OFSEOUTS SETFORTHURSDAY President Will Motor Be- tween Massed Columns on Constitution. President Roosevelt will inspect America's mobilized army of Boy Scouts at a new sort of review Thurs- day morning. Instead of stationing himself in & reviewing stand while the boys march past—the usual procedure—the Presi= dent will do the reviewing, With the Scouts of the Jamboree massed eight deep on each side of | Constitution avenue from the Capie tol to the Lineoln Memorial, he will | ride through their ranks. ‘The “stationary parade” of Scouts is scheduled to be held between 10 and 11 o'clock. President Roosevelt, who has been honorary president of the Boy Scouts of America since he entered the White House and has taken an active ine terest in the movement for 17 years, plans to visit the tent city of the jam= boree some time tomorrow, accome panied by Scout executives. He 15 expected to pause at the camp of Scouts from his home county of Dutchess, in New York, for a chat with his young neighbors. On the same day the President plans to attend the all-star base ball game between the American and Na- tional Leagues, and he will be accom- panied by 12 Eagle Scouts, one from each of the 12 regions into which the 350-acre encampment is divided It was President Roosevelt who is- sued the official invitations for the Scouts to hold their first national jamboree in Washington, celebrating the 27 years of their history. A mes- | sage of welcome from the Chief Ex= | ecutive was read at the opening as- sembly Wednesday morning. SCOUTS OF HAWAII WILL RECEIVE GIFT Stone Chips Taken From Wash- ington Monument to Be Pre- sented to Island Group. Chips of a stone taken from the | Washington Monument last year to | make a place for a stone from Ha- | wail will be presented tomorrow to | & delegation of Scouts from the island | who are attending the jamboree. The chips will be presented by Franklin E. Rothwell, 60, 1500 Mm- nesota avenue northeast, the mason | who removed " the atone, and his father, Daniel Rothwell, 87, who is one of the few surviving masons who worked on the monument when con- | struction was begun from 1880 to | 1884. These two masons first will present the chips to representatives of Washington Scouts, who in turn will give them to the Hawaiian bovs. For four generations the Rothwells have been stone masons. The chips were taken from 368-foot level to make way for the new stone, which | was approximately 4 feet wide, 2 feet 2 inches high and about 8 inches deep. The stone removed had to be chiseled ‘out bit by bit, and since January of last year, when the sub- stitution was made, the Rothwells | have kept these pieces closely guarde | ed in their home awaiting the jam- boree. The Hawaiian delegates will be clad in native.costume and will accept the stones after one of the pieces has been presented to Dr. James E. West, chief Scout executive. The presentation will be broadcast over a | Mutual network from 5:15 to 5:30 pm. The broadcast also will {include interviews with Scouts who have ac- companied famous explorers on their journeys. One of them wilk be Faul Siple of York, Pa., who went to Little America with Admiral Byrd, and the other will be David Martin of Austin, Tex., who accompanied the late Mar- tin Jjonnson on one of his recent trips to Africa to photograph wild game. GATE REQUIRES PULL Kentucky Scouts National Erect High Board Fence Around Their Area. Visitors must have “pull” to enter the section assigned to the Blue Grass Council of Kentucky. The Scouts have erected a high board fence around their area, en- trence to which is through a swinging gate. To open the gate it is necessary to pull a rope attached to a counter- weighted crossarm, which in turn, by A complicated system of levers, opens the gate. Another entrance to the camp is by a stile.
