BOY SCOUT CAMP STARTS FIFTH WEEK About 75 Boys Have Attended Resort Spot About 75 boys bave attended Camp Keemosahbee, the New Brit- ain Boy Scout camp at Job's pond Portland, as it enters upon its fifth week. Most of the campers have been so favorably impressed with the camp that they have stayed sev- eral weeks, and very busy weeks they have been despite the worst varieties of weather that nature has been able to devise for camping. RQuring the first two weks there were 21 non-scouts at camp, but since then only scouts have been allowed to attend. Emphasis 1is being placed on handicraft, and much leather work, such as knife and axe sheaths, pock- etbooks, and moccasins, has been done. A group of woodcarvers are engaged in making a totem pole to be left as a souvenir after the sea- son ends. ' Much progress has been made in swimming and canoeing un- der Assistant Camp Director Ever- ett C. Converse. ‘“Connie,” the newest addition to the camp staff, has been very thorough in his teaching and has turned out a group of swimmers and canoe experts who would be well qualified to take a long trip on the water. Swimming meets are held every Sunday after- noon, and many boys are working on their junior Red Cross life saving " tests. In additlon to Converse, Jim Beach is back at his old past, as is Lloyd “Doc” Minor. Scout Execu- tive O. A. Erickson ..compliments these men highly and says they are doing “‘a wonderful job.” The other member of the camp staff, black Chet Isaac Daniels, is again dishing up food which makes the boys as- sert to visitors that “the eats are the best thing in camp.” Overnight Hikes There has been an overnight hike every week, one group passing through a terrific thumrderstorm at Hurd park without a boy getting wet. A three-day hike is being planned for this week. Inter-tent competi- ~tion is carried on all day in swim- ming, inspection, test-passing, serv- - ice work, and other things and it is bringing good results. The ‘“serv- ice work,” be it sald, is a new and dignified name for what was oncc plain “K. P." A court of honor was held Friday night, when 35 merit badges were awarded, ten boys passed their first class tests, and four advanced to second class. The local council is going slow with the new ruling in regard to allowing second class scouts to win a limited number of merit badges, the executive prefer- ring to keep the boys' energy di- rected toward the passing of their first class tests. The camp staff has been alded by several scout leaders, among them Theodore Johnson, Bliss Clark, Leon Bradley and Charles Baisden, who have been helping with the scout work which eccuples each morning.

Bloodhounds Aiding in Running Down Convicts Houston, Tex., Aug. 1 (P—Posses led by five packs of bloodhounds to- day were searching for 17 of 19 convicts who escaped from a bar- racks at the Imperial state prison farm near here last night. Two of the fugitives were captured within a short time. Prison authorities sald the men cut a small hole in the wooden floor of the barracks. They crawled through one at a time.

BULLISH MOVEMENT NOTED IN MARKET Gall Money Reduced and Trading Peps Up New York, Aug. 1 (A—Rising tendancies ushered in the new week in the stock market. Bullish senti- ment was created by the reduction in the call money rate from the re- newal figure of 4 to 3% per cent, the favorable crop outlook and the prospect of good fall business in several of the basic industries. High grade rails, whose current dlvidend yield is above prevailing interest rates, were again in brisk demand. Among the many stocks to register new highs in that group were Atchison, Cheasapeake and Ohio, Great N ern preferred, Northern Pacific, and Erie comimon. Texas and and St. Louis Southwestern also re- corded substantial gains. Rumors of increasing competition and price cutting failed to stem the advance in the motors. General Mo- tors crossed 229 to a new peak price for the present stock and a b inquiry developed for several of the medium priced issues. Abraham and Straus assumed leadership of the merchandising group by advancing 5 points. Woolworth and City Stores B, touched {ew high records.

August 1 (A—Refusal of New York City to pay a $175,- 000 bill for electric current has de- prived 15,000 Staten Island com- muters of trolley service. Comptroller Berry refused to ape prove the bill because the munici« pal-operated lines have failed to make expenses and he objected tq ithe difference met by taxation. The Staten Island Edison company, as a result, shut off the power early this morning. The city prepared to meet the situation by rushing emergency buses to the Island which, however, will operate on a ten cent fare in place of the nickel trolley fare. The bill for electric current ex- tended back to January, 1926, and had been approved by all other mgmbers of the board of estimate, There are six lines of 144 trolley cars on the island. 11 DIE IN ‘HEAT Beerlin, , Aug. 1 A — Eleven people were drowned yesterday seeking relief on the hottest Sunday of the season in Berlin.
