3 B I‘IAYFII FIREMEN "Ill]llfiflllllREN Yomguiors in Buthing Suits Eajoy Baths at Hosdquarters Playful because of an enforced wacation of two days, during which time not a fire alarm was sounded in the city, firemen at Number 1 eompany had to have something to take up their excess energy. Tues- day evening was hot. Someone thought of water. Water is cooling. Early in the evening garden hose was procured and the street in front of the fire station was thoroughly soaked. But that was not enough, and like mod- ern Alexanders, the firemen looked about for uther fields to conquer, Chuldr. .. with swimming suits over their shoulders, going to the nearest pool, were next. As each one came past the fire station he would find himself subjected to a premature ducking. And, strange as it may seem, once they were thoroughly wet they did not mind it a bit. They stood in gronp= and let the firemea play as much as they wanted to. In time that also palied. Then they turned on one another. Half asleep on their chairs at the front of the station some sat, while others, fire playing in their eyes, | cautiously sneaked up on them and | gave the signal. Water was turncd | on, and one row of seats was hastily | vacated. And 80 it kept up throughout the | evening. At least the flremen were | cool at a time when a thermometer | at the city building hovered between | 83 and 90. | | HARDWARE MARKET SHOWS STEADINESS Business Will Run Abead of 1988, Reports Indicate New York, June 19—Expressions of general satisfaction with the| hardware trade at this time have | characterized the reports from mar- | ket centers of the country Hardware | Age will say tomorrow in its week- ly market summary. The general estimate of hardware bookings for the first half of the year indicates that they will run somewhat ahead of ‘the corresponding period in 1928. and the’ outlook for the next few ‘weeks is at least satisfactory. Busi- neas has shown its advance during the spring months in spite of a con- siderable average of backward weather conditions. . The building industry has been slow this yes but at the present writing shows signs of reawakening but no definite promise can be held out, from information available, as to the exent of this new lease of life. Some centers report builders’ hard- ware specially active. The agricultural and industrial factors have apparently settled to summer steadiness. The growing importance of the summer tourist trade, as it has come to be known, is noted in practicallly all sections. The price situation is steady, and collections are normal. WALKER GIVES OUT RULES FOR YOUTH Advises Against Grudges—Says to Learn fo Relax New York, June 19 (®—Mayor James J. Walker - in a copyright article in the New York American today, his forty-eighth birthday, gives his rules for retaining that youthful appearance for which he is noted. The mayor writes: “Learn to relax. “Dor’t fight with yourself. “Keep shy of internal friction. “Don't waste time in vengeful thoughts. It never gets you any- thing but trouble and futility. “Don’t feel that the world is set against you. “And don't let yourself cultivate the notion you're a great little fel- low. For, as the paraphrasers of the beatitudes have it: ‘Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall not be disappointed.’ “I well recall how, many years ago, my dear old dad took me aside one day and told me: ‘Don’t ever waste time, €01, trying to get even with someone you fancy may have wronged you.

LAUD BOY SCOUTS OF HALE SCHOOL Speakers at Banquet Praise Troop 1 for Success Troop 21, Boy Scouts of the Nathan Hale Junior High school held their second annual banquet and reunion at the close of the school year at Fallon's Restaurant last evening with 44 scout officials and troop members present. After dinner the boys joined In singing scout songs. Captain Rob- ert 8. Quimby, scoutmaster of the troop called on Scout Commissioner Charles Morgan for the opening ceremony. The scoutmaster then presented Patrol Leader Eugene Coyle as toastmaster. Commission- er Morgan delivered a short address and presented medals to the follow- ing scouts: 1919 service medal to Troop Committeeman Frank Wry and Scout Howard Wry; Patrol Leader Eugene Coyle as leader of the Lion Patrol who received the highest rating at the annual inspec- tion for the best appearing patrol; Patrol Leader Patrick Olszowy as leader of the Beaver Patrol rated | as the best drilled patrol; Assistant Patrol Leader Lucian Patkay as the scout having the best appearance at the inspection; Senior Patrol Leader Lucian Dombrowski received a solid gold First Class pin for his out- standing service to the troop dur- |ing 1929. At the close of the pres- | entation Commissioner Morgan presented, in the name of the troop, | to Mrs. Frank Wry a beautiful bou- | quet of carnations for her work for |the troop. An interesting event of the evening came when Commission- | er Morgan cailed upon Troop Com- | mitteeman Wry to pin the medal on his son Howard who had won it by vote of the troop for the scout who had done the most for Troop 21 | during the past year. The toastmaster called upon Har- ry Wessels, principal of the Nathan Hale Junior High school and Chair- man of the troop committee. Mr. Wessels complimented the boys on their work and urged them to live up to the scout laws and oath to | the best of their ability and assured them that the school faculty appre- clated their efforts. Scout Executive Oscar Erickson then addressed the gathering. He issued a challenge to be loyal, and |live up to the good name of ths troop. He said “it is the individual | who must ymake the troop, more power to you, scouts of Troop 21. Joseph M. Ward, member of the school board and member of the | troop committee, complimented the | troop on its activity and urged them |to co-operate with Scoutmaster | Quimby and the other troop offi- cials. Then came more singing of scout songs. As speaker of the evening, H. Gordon Williams, of Troop 28 of Hartford, delivered a ringing speech calling on the boys to give their best. He said that he considered Troop 21 one of the best troops he has visited and felt that good work was being done. He said that a judge of a juvenile court told him a short time agd that during the 1» years he has been on the bench not one Boy Scout had ever been brought before him. “We know that the Doy Scouts are trying their best to be good citizens and they are doing it. Everywhere I go I find the Boy Scouts doing their good turns and jnaking good.” In closing he called upon the scouts assembled to remain mémbers of the troop and said “remember once a scout, always a scout.” Scoutmaster Quimby closed the meeting by extending his thanks to all those scouts who had given of their time and effort to make the troop one of the leading troops in the city. He, said “I feel that what makes a troop of scouts worthw is the doing of the daily good turn in the home, the church, the school and the community. A troop can be rated by this alone. It is the | best excuse for the existance of such an organization, What you give to scouting will come back to you. Tet us strive to do our best as menilers of one of the greatest American or- ganizations in this country.” The Senior Patrol Leader Lucian Pombrowski, led the closing cere- mony, with the Scout Laws and Oath. The pledge of allegiance to the flag and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner Music and singing was in charge of Fred Blankenburg of New Britain. | The meeting was adjourned until | the opening of school in the fall. | Many of the boys intend to go to the council camp this summer and continue their scoutcraft. | Vaudeville Magnate’s Wife Under Arrest Los Angeles, June 19 (P—Mrs. Lota Pantages, wife of Alexander Pantages. vaudeville magnate, yes- terday was charged in a felony complaint issued by the district at- torney's office with driving an auto- mobile while intoxicated.

Parker announced that the Stag patrol, led by Eagle Scout Raymond Mainer, had won the troop merit system efficlency contest and had set a new record for total points, while Mainer himself had led the individual scor- ers and had fallen only four points short of the troop record. Kimball is “Troop Sheik” The election of Penn T.

Kimball of 61 Lexington street, thereby suc- ceeds Baker in this office. His elec- tion was a surprise, and he tried to hide under the table at the an- nouncement, but he came forth in 1 time to be presented with the tradi- tional pedometer with the admoni- tion to “watch his step.” Kimball then had his revenge when he read the troop prophecy, forecasting” what dire things would happen to the troop officers and members during the next 20 yeara This paper created much laughter. Richard Hube and Leon Dickinson assisted Kimball in the preparation of it At the conclusion motion pictures of day parade and of meet were shown. The meal itself was a bounteous one.
