GARDENING CONTEST
FOR SCOUTS IS PLAN
Aims to Beautify Back Yards
and Raise Vegetables for
Table and Market.

A plan for Scout contests for civic
improvement and cleanliness, worked
out by C. NJ. Richmond. scout commits
sioner Of Dallas, Tex, is attracting con-
siderable interest among Boy Scouts
here, and suggestions already have been
made by several scoutmasters here for
brining about interest in that line of
Scout work.
Mr.. Richmond declares the objects of
his contest to be as follows: To beau
tify back yards; to raise vegetables for
the table and the market. thus provid-
ing a means for many Scouts to make
money; to keep Scouts occupied and
off the streets; to teach them garden
ing. SO that they may some day win a
merit badge in this line of work; to
promote a spirit of friendly rivalry
among Scout troops.
The regulations of the contest pro-
vide that each plot of ground shall not
be less than twenty-five square yards
and must be in the back yard or at
the side of the house, and not in the
front yard. Not less than six varieties of
vegetables shall be raised. Each plot must
be bounded by a row of flowers, such
as nasturtiums or the like. Back yards
must be clean, free from rubbish, and
fences must be in good condition, white
washed, IL necessary and in a good
state of repair. No school troops are
allowed to compete for prizes unless six
or more Scouts Of each troop sign up.
The judges are appointed by scout
masters They judge the grading. neat
ness, cleanliness, order. appearance of

BOY SCOUTS SCORED
HIT AT GETTYSBURG
Did Splendid Work Helping the
Red Cross Society to Care
for Veterans.

Guard duties. Pitched tent. Carried
an old mans baggage. Went to town
and helped pitch tents. stationed at
Red Cross rest station. No liberties.
Did guard duty. Helped old man. Help
ed in ambulance case"
This is an exact record Of the work
Of one of the Boy Scouts from WASH
ington for one day, while at Gettys-
burg assisting the Red Cross Society.
Letters and kilograms TO parents ard
scoutmasters from the boys tell the
same story.
1t was no pleasure excursion the boys
undertook. according to scout officials
here. 1t was real work they did. and
they did 1t well.
Got Valuable Experience.
Scout Commissioner E. g. Martin
declared on his arrival here yesterday
that the experience Of the boys was the
best they had ever had. as 1t was the
first real camp experience they had
ever been through.
1T Is the finest thing in the world
for the boys and a great thing for the
national association Mr.. Martin de-
clared.
The work Of the boys commenced i'm
mediately on their arrival at the battle
field, according to the scout officials.
Soon after they had disembarked and
before they were assigned to real duty,
they were called upon to assist several
veterans with their baggage and to do
first aid work.
The Washington boys were soon as
signed as direct aides to the Red Cross
Society. At first they were supposed
to act as guides when of duty from
Red Cross work. 1t was found that
this took up all Of the boys time,
however. and they were taken OF of
guide work and permitted liberty when
not employed at actual Red Cross work.
Even then, 1t IL said, they were pretty
well occupied, and the old soldiers be-
came SO used to seeing them and know
ing the sort Of work they were doing
that they used them as guides when the
boys were of duty.
The dependence Of the veterans on the
boys was often pitiful. Mr.. Martin says.
On Tuesday night. when 1t was very
cold. and thousands of aged men were
arriving and had to be cared for, one
could hear the veterans calling about
the field: Boy Scouts, Boy Scouts,
Boy Scoutsr' as If they expected them
to be the only ones who could assist
them.
Aides To Red Cross.
The practical experience in first aid
work gained by the boys was most
valuable. according to Boy Scout Of
ficials here. They have seen the Red
Cross Society actually at work in the
field, and have taken part In the
work
Mr.. Martin says he has been assured
by officials Of the Red Cross Society
that they will not be afraid to call upon
the boys at any time hereafter when
ever they want assistance of any kind.
The boys showed knowledge of the work
required. and initiative in carrying It
out
During the last day OF their service
they were camped in a circle twenty
three miles in circumference. They
were stationed at different points to
be in readiness for work of any kind.
They worked hard. got up early every
morning, often went to bed late, and
often went without their meals. Yet
there were no complaints. Mr.. Martin
The Washington times., 1913-07-06

The fire which we had built the might
before was still smouldering. A cool
morning dip and a hearty breakfast
took out all the kinks and made us feel
equal to everything. Practice with
bows and arrows and a deer hupt after
the style Of hares and hounds occupied
the morning. In the afternoon we spent
a good deal Of time In canoe fitting. A
cross-country run and a hatchet-throw-
ing contest proved exciting events.
We learned the advisability Of provid-
ing plenty of dry kindling at night in
order to have little trouble In making a
fire in the morning. We studied the
birds and flowers and made a good
collection of specimens to take back
home for future study.
There were all sorts Of wild animals
about the camp. especially at night, and
we saw many of them In the early
morning or In the early dusk. There
VISA little difficulty in putting In the
time. and the end Of the vacation ar
rived all too soon.
The return trip was made In record
time. We left camp at about s o'clock
in the morning. and reached Great Falls
by noon. By 1880 we were at Broad
Water. and by o'clock at Sycamore
Island. Our canoes were light and
more easily handled than on the trip up
We had left only one can Of corn and

We started from the Analostan Boat
Club at about 2:3O. with only one canoe.

Island the next morning. We dockeo
that night at an inlet just below Littie
Falls and opposite the palisades ana
the quarries. The portage Of one nun
made quickly, and we passed through
two locks before reaching our nrst
camping place. Camp was mace AZ
about o'clock in a canoe house.
Made Start Early.
Everything had been quiet in the first
part of the trip. We had seen num-
ber of birds and some muskrat tracks.
The excitement of the day, the fact
that we were in the open. and the dis
turbances about the camp combined 10
keep US awake, however, and II WAS
late before we finally dropped on.
We were awake early, and py o
O'Clock had eaten breakfast, packed all
our equipment into the three canoes
and were off. 1t was delightful, PAD,
in the early morning. All along the
edges of the stream were rushes ana
cat-tails, and we could hear the twit-
tering Of birds as we passed along.
We went through the first lock saleiy
at about $50, passed Cabin John Bridge
and went through eight locks before ar
riving at Broad Water. This Is a WIDEN
ing in the canal, which forms a lake
about a quarter Of mile wide ana
contains several rocky islands we
found a good deal of excellent padding
during this part of the trip, there be-
ing one long stretch of smooth water
for four miles. Five more locks had
to be passed before we reached Great
Falls. where We arrived at about 10
o'clock.
After luncheon and a good look at the
falls We got away at about n:9. pass
ed two locks. and arrived at Seneca
by 80 Above the Seneca lock, which
leads into the river just above the dam,
said to extend for twenty miles.
Sharpshin Island is about three miles
above the dam. There was strong
wind blowing, and the water was rough
on the river. Our canoe shipped water
several times during the crossing, and
there was a good deal of trouble at the
landing, so that We were compelled to
wade out and unload the canoes In or
| der to get them to the shore
Evening In Camp.
1t is delightful to sit about the camp
fire after supper, and there was a long
period OF story telling for us when
camp had been pitched, our wet clothes
were drying near the fire. and the sup
per dishes had been washed. Provi-
sions were hung in a box in n tree in
order to keep them away from the
reach of small animal providers. We
gathered bOughs FOR the beds and sang
told stories, and sat enjoying the clear
air and the piney odOr OF the woods
until about o'clock. when We turned

1t was broad day when We awoke.

To the Scout Master:
BOYS of Troop continue to hold
weekly meetings. although they have
not been especially active. We are PLAN
ming to reorganize the troop along
broader lines and shall eventually have
a splendid troop Of all ages.
Just at present we are organizing a
baseball league. The boys OF the troop
perfected arrangements at last week 8
meeting, and we should have a strong
team after we practice up bit. Our
connection with the Fairgrounds here
permits a good deal of activity along
this line that would not be possible uh-
der other circumstances.
We enjoy reading about the activity
of the bows in other sections of the city,
and expect to have some very interest
ing things to report in the near future.
Very truly yours.

Say Secretary Wood
Lacks Ear For Music

Mr.. Wood, field secretary of the
Local Council of Boy Scouts. has no
ear for music, according to some of
the boys who went to Gettysburg last
week.
I'VE organized a band" they ex-
plain. When we started to march
through the camp beating our mess
pans with spoons and singing songs
in a loud voice, We not only were or
dered to stop but were given extra
guard duty"
Il suppose We deserved it," one Of
them naively remarks, but l don't
think the secretary had much of an
ear for music not to appreciate the
Joyful sound we made"

Canoe scouting for Boy Scouts has
been considered only slightly by mem
bers of Washington Council, but the
possibilities Of advantage along this
line are great, and there is ample op-
portunity to practice it on the Poto-
mac river and the adjoining streams.
Canoeing trips would be possible
only for the older boys of the council,
however. since parents generally are
|apprehensive about boys going on the
water. II the boys are good swimmers
and expert canoeists there should be
no fear Of danger in a trip of several
days in a canoe, and a trip into the
open in this fashion is not only inter-
esting but provides experience along
a line Of summer travel that will be
, very valuable later in life whenever
one goes into the woods
A recent canoe trip made by MEM
bers Of Troop / showed pretty clearly
what should be done and what should
be avoided in trips Of this kind. and
1 am sure every member Of the party
feels that he was benefited practically
by the expedition.
