Ernest Thompson Seton.

The "call of the Wild will be heard
in cities throughout the land as the re-
suit OF new work undertaken by

Seton is an officer of the American
Boy Scouts, whose numbers have grown
to more than 10000 Each scout pa
troll has Its individual call. generally
based on the cry Of some wild ami
NAL. The scout manual describes these
some things that cannot be written.
Ernest Thompson Seton's work, there
fore. was to make disk records Of all
the Boy Scout calls. The Columbia
Graphophope Company offered him the
facilities of their recording department
and he carefully prepared a speech,
not only explaining these calls, but
demonstrating them. He made a record
OF this speech. and 1t is easily the most
interesting thing in the July list Of
recordings by the Columbia company.
1t Is a record that not only will ap-
peal to the scouts and the other lovers
Of wild life. but it will be interesting
