TROOP NO. 81 WINS
movie" MACHINE
- Oss@ uulSIuI"I L
Each Boy Makes Average of
$3.50 in Selling Tickets ,for
Film Show.

,TrooptNo. 81, E. L. Maschmeyer, scout.
master, wins the moving picture ma,
chine.
That brief announcement by Commits.
-sioner E. s. Martin at Ingram Me-
mortal Church last night may haveibeen
unwelcome to ambitious members OF
other troops. but if such was the case
they were too good scouts to show it.
and they Joined in cheering the winner.
The scouts of the successful troop
each sold an average Of $3.50 worth of
tickets 10 THE Making of a Scout, -
which was shown for the sixth and last
time in Washington last night, and their
reward Is a Sl0O moving picture outfit
and 1000 feet of film. This will enable
the Mount Pleasant boys to give their
own movie show, and will be a valu-
able asset for the troop.
Commissioner Martin has not vet fig
ured out just who is second, and the
race for first place was so close that it
was not decided until the last minute
Troop No. 80, c., W. Killian, scoutmas-
ter, made an excellent showing but
whether or not it was next to the VIM
ner will not be known until tomorrow
All the scouts did excellent work in
selling tickets and advertising the show
generally. Some of them. on account of
location or on. account of other circum-
stances, felt that they had no chance to
win the coveted prize. but nevertheless
they did good work for the cause and.
in return have the hearty thanks of
the loyal and national scout officers.
Most of the troops of the city went to
see the moving picture play in a body
at one time or another during its en-
gagement here, and it was universally
pronounced most entertaining.

Egsleston. Clinton Allard. Kenneth
Harries, Howard Galley. Robert Cruit
Lloyd Gosorn, Thomas Holmes. Lowell

Donald Stuart, William Kroll, Homer
Greenfield, and Ira Ewers. They were
IN charge OF Scoutmaster F. l.. Harries

ing so attracted the attention of Secre-
tary Daniels that the Cabinet officer
summoned him and they had a ten
minute talk on scout work and scout
ideals. At the close of the inspection,
Commander Dempf formally thanked
the scouts for the help they had rend-
cred him during the evening.

reCted from the depths of Lake Erie al
most 100 years after Perry fought m It.

Drafting School Has
largest Enrolment

The Columbia School of Drafting Is
| experiencing the biggest enrolment in

! Graduates of this school are in great
! demand. Constant requests are being
| made of the school for their students:
many of them secure excellent positions
before completing their courses Some
of the leading architects and engineer
ing companies employ graduates of the
Columbia School OF Drafting and they
have given the school their hearty en-
dorsement.
One of the foremen of the Firth
sterling Steel Works Is a graduate OF
! this school, and he says he owes his
promotion to the training in drafting
and design which he received there The
Bureau OF tSanderds recently requested
craftsman for designing wireless ap-
paratus at an initial salary OF LOO a
the man.
The teaching corps of the Columbia
School of Drafting Is a remarkable ay-
gregation of talent and ability. The
president of the school, Mr.. Roy c.
Clafiin. has always insisted that the in
structors shall be men of thorough
practical experience as we'll as masters
or the theoretical side OF their respec-
tive subjects. The corps of instructors
has recently been augmented by sew
eTai doultlonal experts. They are: Mr..
John H. Pellen, Typographical drafting;

Officers of the school. on being asked
by Times representative concerning
their correspondence courses, stated
that the school offers courses by mail
in addition to their local courses, but
that they strongly urge students who
are in reach of Washington to enroll In
the night classes at the school for the
reason that there is no comparison be-
tween personal instruction and instruc-
ton by mail. Correspondence courses
are all right where one can get moth
ing else" stated the president of the
school. but speaking as a teacher Of
long experience 1 state positively that
il Is impossible to accomplish any where
near as much by mail as through per-
sonal instruction, owing to the natural
setbacks of delays, MISUNDERSTANDING
lack of inspiration. etc" The Vice
president of the school, Mr.. A c. Ham
llton. has compiled statistics showing
that it requires from four to five times
as much time to accomplish the same
amount of work by correspondence a.
L does by personal instruction.

MANY CANDIDATES
. WILL TAKE TESTS
Forty Applications on File in
Commissioner Martins Of
flee For Coming "Exam.'

One Of the biggest classes of candi.
dates for second class scout honors ever
assembled is expected to take the ex-
| animation next Saturday afternoon al
Rosslyn, just across the Aqueduct Bridge
from Georgetown. With the exception
of examinations held at camp this is the
under the auspices of the local council
since last spring.
Between thirty-five and forty applica-
tions are now on file at Commissioner
Martins office, and but two more days
remain in which they can be filed. None
will be accepted after the close OF busi-
ness at 4:3O Tuesday afternoon. The ap-
plications are in the form of a statement
by the scOutmaster of the candidate,
saying that he believes the scout can
qualify on the eleven points necessary
to make him second class scout
To pass this test a tenderfoot must
have been a scout at least one month;
must understand elementary first aid,
signaling and tracking, and must be able
to stand the scout pace of a mile in L
minutes. walking so steps and running 80
steps alternately. He must be able to
use a knife and hatchet reasonably
well, build a fire without using more
than two matches. cook a quarter of a
pound of meat and two potatoes with
out the aid of kitchen utensils: he must
have at least 81 of his own earnings de-
posted in the bank, must know the six
teen points of the compass, and must
have a reasonably wide general knowl-
edge.
Just who the examiners will be Com
missioner Martin has not yet announced
but they will be men we'll qualified to
judge OF the performances OF the boys,
he promises.
In several of the troops where there
are group of tenderfoOt scouts await
ing this weeks examinations it has been
the practice to hold classes weekly,
where the second class work was re-
hearsed 1t goes without saying that
these boys stand an excellent chance of
getting through the test without any
trouble.
There will be second class examina-
tions given the first Saturday OF each |
month throughout the rest of the win |
ter, 1t was announced last week, and !
first class examinations will be given |
each second Saturday. The third Sat
urday will probably be given over to |
merit badge tests, though this has not
yet been definitely decided upon.
