SCOUTS MAKE RECORD HIKE.

Boy scouts of Seattle, Wash, led by
Scoutmaster Robert ]. Drake and
Harold d. Ware, an officer of the Sc
attic council, hiked from Hoods canal
to the ocean In five and one-half days,

said. Most parties use pack ponies,
but the scouts carried their own sup
plies. The distance covered is ap
proximately $50 miles.
