Friends. perhaps I have been talking too much about the rough hikes and outings to which I have been exposed Consequently I am going to tell you about something nice today. One night last week several boys, who have the same views on scouting as have, visit ed me, and we held what in our esti- mation was an ideal scout meeting
 There were four other boys present besides myself, Maurice Fontane, Per cfval Montague, Willie Ronseleau. and a rather lowly person by the name of James Williams. We were not, sure about the latter, but as he seemed to lave the same dislike of the roughness Of the general scout. we invited him to attend the meeting.
 Of course was chairman of the meet ing It was my house, and besides I was the logical person to preside. l called the meeting to order just had father do | the directors meeting of his business. Maurice and Percival however kept on talking about pink tea to which they had had been invited. Of course it was impolite for them to talk while I had the floor. but l let them continue, as I was interested in the party myself. Willie was very nice and did not say much. while James sa up and paid the very best of attention. This latter flattered me not little, as I was not sure about James being the right kind of boy,
 Friends I said The main purpose of this meeting is to devise a way to protect ourselves from the roughness and vulgarity of the other scouts in our troop" James looked at me rather queerly. but said nothing.
 'T think so too put in Percival. while Maurice said, Me too.''
 "Of course we don't like the rough m ethods which we observe in the scouts."~said James. But We must re- member, they don't mean 10 be that way. It is just way that they have

Scout Camp 10 Be Patterned After Best Camps in Country

For the last few years, the camps held by the Birmingham Scout Council have been improving. Those held at Kelly creek were good The ones at the present camp site were better, but those to be held from now on are to be the best yet There are some fine scout camps in the United States. but in year or two Camp Andrews will excell them all.
 Tuesday night the Scout executive in company with Sailor" Eddens, C. l.. Stapleton local scoutmaster, and Jack Cooper, a representative patrol leader from Troop 20, took late train north to visit all the large Boy Scout camps in the northern part of the country The first stop-over is Cincinnati. From there the party is to go to New York, Buffalo. and many other cities where the scout officials conduct a large scout camp. The executive stated that the trip would require nearly three weeks time.
 Many of the camps to be visited ac- commodate a very large number of toys during the camping season. One camp particularly is said to have an attendance of 1400 boys at one time. Most of these camps are equipped in the most modern fashion, and only the best camp directors are employed. It Is the plan of the executive to note all the good points of each camp and com bine all these in Camp Andrews, elimi- hating all the disadvantages of the different camps noted on the trip.
 By combining the advantages land better systems of camp organization, the Birmingham Camp Council hopes tc make an ideal camp for the Birming- ham scouts. It is the plan of MT. Carl l4angrebe. head of the Birmingham Scout Council to Improve Camp Andrew until there is TO better scout camp in the whole country. For this reason the trip to the northern camps was organized, and that the executive might get pointers to aid in bettering the camp system here.
 Even next summer the camp Will be

of the hill. Scouts, here is a chance to do a yearly good turn, a good turn of of the highest order Take day off and visit the camp. While you are there put up bird house of some kind off the roof of your cabin, or in the limb of some tree This will afford a home for the birds during the hard cold winter months, and besides will be a pleasure to yourself. After you have had hard week of school and books, then you can visit the camp on Satur- day, and forget all about your hard times. It will be one place where you can enjoy the call of the past summer, even during the coldest of winter days.
 SCOUTS, WARNING
 If you go to Camp Andrews. and see a pretty kitty. trotting around as if he would like to have you come and play with him, and you happen to have but one suit of cloths with you, then lamp the kitty twice, for most likely he will be hale and hearty young skunk. Beware of such animals.
 Scouts, all of us are pulling together to make Camp Andrews the best camp in the south. None of us would wilfully destroy or misuse any of the camp equipment or gear. The next time you visit the camp, just remember that others would like to find the camp in good condition when they visit. and don't misuse the kitchen ware or chop the trees, or do anything which you know scout would not be proud of That's all this time scouts, maybe I will write you again soon and tell you how conditions have improved at the camp.

ABOUT CABIN LOTS

All troops who own lots at Camp Andrews have from now to the first of October to clear the space around the cabin. or to remove all the leaves and rubbish from the lot, so that a forest fire cannot get to the cabin or logs. and burn down the homes of the scouts, as well as those of the birds and other wood folk. The clearage around the lot must be at least 30 feet from the center of the lot. The care taker will show you about the clearing of the lots. All troops who have not met this requirement. by the first of October will have to pay fine and war tax.

good will, was announced yesterday by
the Actors Fund of America.
In this campaign the actors will ask
the American people to place their ap-
proval on the service performed, by the
American stage during the war. The
leaders of the campaign hope to cstab-
lish the actor in higher place in
American life, which, they say, he de-
serves.
On December 5 the campaign will
come to a climax in an Actors Ma
tonal Memorial Day. The day will be
dedicated to the actors who died in
France and to those who gave their
time and talents to entertaining the
doughboy and who helped in the drives
for the Liberty Loan and the war SER
vice organizations.
Fifty-thrce theatres in New York will
participate in the ceremonies of the
day. Each will present a special mat
inee and an elaborate evening perform
ance. According to present plans Of
the directors of the campaign, seats for

ATLANTIC CITY, July 6.-,Elks Of
the entire country are gathering here
for their peace and victory convention
which opens. tomorrow
The election Of Grand Exalted
Ruler promises to be exciting. The
election will be held Tuesday morning
at a meeting on the Steel Pier The
candidates are Frank l.. Rain, of Fair
bury, Neb., and Albert T. Brophy, of
Brooklyn.
intersectional. Rain is the "adminis-
tration's" candidate The men in
power say he will get 1900 votes if
500 are cast.
Brophy does not believe this. He
has been an Elk since 1908. He is one
of the big men of Brooklyn Lodge %,
which is one of the leading lodges Of
the country. All New Jersey is with
him. he says, barring the Atlantic City
lodge, which has been swung by Mayor
Harry Bacharach to Rain. New York
to Brophy, is strongly supporting him.
New England has swung in for him
and much of the West. His strength
lies in the East.
The Elks get down to business to-
morrow At a meeting on the Steel
Pier at 10:30 o'clock Bruce A. Camp
bell. Grand Exalted Ruler, will preside
and receive reports from the commit
tee on war relief and the grand secre
tary's report
The report Of the war relief commit
tee is particularly important. The Elks
played a mighty part in the war
They are determined to play an equally
important part in the fight against
Bolshevsm. Among other war activi-
ties the Elks organized the first relief
committee and built the first recon
struction hospital before any Of the
soldiers were wounded.
Fifty thousand Elks went into the
service. Many were killed. The ser
vice flags of all the lodges gathered
here bear gold stars. The Elks estab-
lished base hospital units, The Grand
Lodge voted $1o0o,o00, without condi-
tions, for the work. A total Of $2,270,-
900 was disbursed to various agencies
during and after the war.
The only regret of the Elks gathered
here is that their brother Elk, General
! John ]. Pershing. could not come to
this country in time to join in the cele-
brations.
