ASKS SCOUTS AID
IN SAFETY CRUSADE
City Authorities Realize More
Fully What Boys Can Do to
Help in Campaign.

Municipal authorities are svery day
realizing more fully the value of the
safety crusade and what the Boy
Scouts can do to further it. The
latest testimonial of this is letter
written to the Chicago Boys Scouts
of America by Peter NJ. Hoffman, for
ten years coroner of Cook County. in
which Chicago is located, and one of the
most widely known officials of the
Middle West. His letter reads:
''Thirty-eight thousand coroners'
cases have been held in Cook county
during my tenure of office This con-
stitutes quite an army and means sad
ness and sorrow in many homes.
Among this number there were many
young girls and boys. Will tho Boy
Scouts assist me and the Public Safety
Commission In curtailing this number
by conducting campaign of pub icity
and education?
I'VE ought to check the fast pace
we are travelling in order 10 protect
our own lives ana those of others, and
must refrain from placing ourselves in
constant unnecessary danger We must
obey the law and insist on the enact
ment of new laws that will make Chi
cago a safer and a saner city. I solicit
the aid of the Boy Scouts of America
in this work In behalf Of humanity"

Tenderfoot Scouts
Examination FRIDAY

Tenderfoot scouts, who are candidates
for second-class work, will be given
their examinations Friday evening and
Saturday morning of this week, and
those who failed in one or more SUBJ
jects November l will have an oppor-
tunity to try for their second class pin
once more.
The greater part OF the examinations
will be given in Commissioner Mar
tins office in the District building. Fri
day evening. This will include all first
aid work, signalling. and such other
tests as can be given indoors. On Sat
Urday morning the boys will meet on
top Of the big hill at Rosslyn, and there
they will take their fire-buildins and
cooking tests.
All applications for these exaElina-
tons must be on file with DR.. Leonard
evenin, or else the second class candi-
dates cannot be examined until the
first of January.
The first class examinations will be
conducted next week in much the same
manner. 1t is the aim of the officials
in charge to standardiZe these tests as
much as possible, so that scoutmasters
will know just how to train their boys
for them.

SCOUTS PUT MONEY
WITH UNCLE SAM
Thrifty Boys Have Big Total
in Postal Savings Bank of
Washington.
"A Scout is thrifty"

"A Scout is thrifty" -
That is the ninth point of the Scout
law. and it is one on which Washington
boys place a proper emphasis. The
Postal Savings System has appealed to
many Of them as a proper place to
have their accounts. for every certifi-
cate of deposit states that the faith
of the United States is solemnIy pledged
TO the payment of deposits"
Most of the first and second class
Scouts of Troop No. 81 have entrusted
their money to Uncle Sam, as Well as
several from Troop No. 50. In most in-
stances the 81 necessary to pass the
second class test or the 81 for the first
class test is but beginning, and week
by week and month by month the ac-
counts grow, and today there are sew
eral Scouts in Washington with savings
accounts that run into three figures.
Gordon +. Chance, a patrol leader Of
kensinSton Troop No. /, and the son of
/ Secretary Merritt D. Chance. Of the
commission on economy and efficiency,
is one of the boys that the accompany
| ing picture shows before the postal
savings window in the Washington
postoffice. The others are Oryiile
Walsh, Edward Comegys, Edward Nc
Intyre and Edward Wingate, of Troop
No. 80; Robert Young, Augustus Hines,
jr., Tom Somervllle. Jack Somerville,
Nelson Marshall. Edward s. Pardoe
and Hummel F'ishburn, of Troop No.

When President Nathan B. Scott, of
the Continental Trust Company, eX-
aInined the bank books of the candi-
dates for second class examinations a
week ago yesterday he was genuinely
surprised at the showing made by the
Scouts, and the total the Washington
! Scouts have on deposit would surprise
even the boys themselves.

CAMP F|REPLACES
FOR BOY SCOUTS
These Can BE Made in Several
Different Ways in Woods.
How to Do 1t.

When the scout first gets out into the
woods his first impulse is TO travel. to
lee things, but after three or four
hours at n good pace his appetite as
yerts itself and he smacks his lips in
anticipation of good meal cooked over
1 camp fire. But the first question is
he building of a camp fireplace, and
f these there are several varieties.
One of the most serviceauIe of these
Is well as an easy one to build, is
constructed by driving three stakes into
he ground in the form of a triangle
md lust far enough apart for the spid-
ar or not to rest on them. The stakes
should project from the ground about
.i-ht inches and must all be of the
yamc height. The fire is then built in
he center 1t is best to use green wood
.or this purpose as dry wood Will burn
before the meal is done.
Kitchen Always Good.
When the camp is made where more
han one meal will be prepared 1t is
The Washington times., 1913-11-30

good policy to prepare a more elabor-
ate kitchen. This may be made with
logs or stones, one sometimes being
much more convenient than the Other.
Most scouts prefer the stone fireplace as
1t is much easier to clean and it holds
the heat longer.
The size of a fireplace Of this kind is
determined by the nmber Of persons 10
be cooked for. One six feet long by
eighteen inches wide gives plenty of
cooking space for twenty people. 1t
Is better if the sides are a little closer
together at one end than at the other.
so it will accommodate either large or
small utensils. The narrow end should
be closed. 1t is well to dig trench in
the center as this will give depth to
the fire.

The log fireplace should be built of
green logs held in place by pegs driven
at the sides. When building a stone
