One of the most interesting and
highly beneficial tests TO the scouts
was the last. the first aid test. On a
basis Of 20 points seven troops COM
peted within very few points of per-
feet. Troop " n0sed out with per

Twenty-eight signaiers, wig-wag-

sage presented a pretty sight in the
test of message sending and receiv-
ing. Each of seven troops entered
teams of four in this event. One scout
acted as sender, one as receiver and
two as clerks. The message consisted
of so words made Ineligible by code
and complex in structure. The aecur-
acy with which these messages were
'wig-wagged' over a distance of sew
eral hundred yards and at the rate
of more than II letters a minute for
the winners, showed the scout contes-
tants prepared for any signaling emer-
gency. Dudley Pratt of Troop ] prov
ed the most accurate sender in the
troop, his team making only eight
mistakes in the transmission of the
240-letter message. However, his
time was slower than that of Troop
V, which won the highest number OF
points in this event.

The report was received at the De
