collected approximately 1900 TO help
maintain their organization for the COM
ing year. The exact amount will not be

The day was a busy one for all con-
nected with the organization, including

netted about $1,000.
Next in the list came Division A, with
receipts amounting to S6l3. The terri
tory of Division A included Pennsylvania
avenue and many of the department
buildings. This place as second on the
list may be disputed in the light of later
returns by Division r. which was report

worth of tags.
Division E, turned in ssO3 and Division

The largest individual sales were made
by Kenneth Livingston, son of Colin II.
Livingston. president of the Boy Scouts
of America. Young Livington's sales
amounted to SOS.
The greater number Of tags were dis
posed of in the morning before 10 o'clock
and at noon. At these times boys were
forced to return to headquarters several
times for fresh supplies of tags. After
dark. when the might relay started
work there was little business. By that
time nearly every one had tags.
Yesterday, in the midst of the fray.
two scouts, who had walked into the
city from New York, were two very
much surprised boys. These mixers"
were Julian H. Salomon, an Eagle
Scout, which is the highest rank in the
organization, a member OF Troop y, Of
Brooklyn, and Scoutmaster Otto Wistuba,
Troop 26, of Brooklyn. who was a mem
ber of the Wandervogel, the Boy Scout
organization of Germany.
we never saw so much loose change
around a Boy Scout headquarters be-
fore" they said. Tomorrow Scoutmaster
Fred Reed will act as guide to these
boys and show them the sights Of the
city.
As a reward to the boys for their work
there will be one day given. with ex-
penses, at the summer camp Of the
