THE Boy Scout camp at Camp Ro-
tary, between Monarch and Nei-
hart. in Belt creek canyon, is being
conducted this year on a plan somewhat
different from that followed in former
years. At the beginning of the camp
ing season just after the close of
school. a group Of older scouts. all of
first-class standing, were taken to
camp and trained, on a four-day hike,
to help take care of the younger scouts
in the regular periods later. OF the
groups taken out, seven were elected
for further service, namely. Eagle
Scouts Gordon Conrad and John Cave
Of troop ?, Star Scout Joseph Schiller
of troop 3, Merit Badge Scouts Eugene
Fletcher Of troop 8, Roswell Leavitt.
Charles Klause Of troop . and Donald
Hagen of troop 1.
Four of these have been on duty in
each period, acting as cabin leaders,"
with various camp responsibilities as
signed to each. One acts as assistant
in the office. in charge of the points
earned for the bringing of flowers and
tree samples. and in the camp store.
Another is in charge Of camp santa
ton. garbage disposal. etc. A third
takes charge of camp recreation, games
apparatus, etc, while the fourth in
structs the kitchen police in their duties
and assists the cook in many ways.

APPRECIATION OF SCOUTS

The sacred promise or oatn which
every Boy Scout is obliged to make
reveals what sort of a character he
aims to acquire and what manly viz
tues he means to cultivate; all of
which are meant to turn out an
ideal American citizen.
The oath which all scout must
memorize and subscribe to. or his
honor, is as follows
/. To do duty To God and my
country, and to obey the Scout laws.
2. To help other people at all
times.
8. To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight.
The dozen Scout laws are simply
a paraphrase of the ten command
ments of God. They are the fol-
lowing: To be trustworthy, loyal,
helpful. friendly. courteous, kind.
obedent. cheerful. thrifty, brave,
clean. and reverent.
The last point sets down the car
dinal principle of reverence towards
a supreme being. According to this
last premise, every scout must be
faithful in his religious duties and
he must respect the convictions of
others in matters of custom and re-
ligion: all of which is pure and true
democracy.
Scouting. therefore. means the
building Of character, the happi-
ness of the boy today and the as
sured civic prosperity of the flu
ture.
Scouting aims to develop self
reliance. thrift, resourcefulness and
initiative. or the habit of doing
things that should be done without
being told.
No wonder. then. that this ma
tion-wide movement would have the
cordial approval of congress, of
the chief executive. and the leaders
both lay and clerical-among Prot
estants, Jews and Catholics.
1t is undenominational and is
meant to turn out the highest type
of citizenship; men with a con-
science. men who respect the rights
of others. regardless of color, class.
religion. or race of their ancestors.
His Holiness. the late sovereign
p%ontiff. Benedict XIV, who is known
as the Pope of Peace" approved
of the Catholic units or troops
among the Boy Scouts and wished
the movement every success.
Like the other members of the
Catholic hierarchy of America. |

1t is understood that no distinc-

Scout movement in general. except

gious nature.

considered, of meeting the growing de-
mand for energy. Prospective electric
power consumption in that region ia
immense. 1t is so great that a Gar
larger volume of electric energy had to
be obtained.
1t was therefore decided that the
cost of sending this increased volume
of energy at 100000 volts on the
grand sweep from the slopes of the
Sierra foothills over stout transmits
sion lines. supported by enormous steel
towers. to the distributing points-
Eagle Rock and Laguna Bells sub-sta-
ticns-would be justified. The only
alternative was to construct additional
lines over the entire 24O miles TO trans
nit the large volume of energy Mt ths
pressure now in use, 10000 volts.
The development of a second go 600
volt transmission system, also on the
Pacific coast, has been begun. This
will Operate on the lines of the Pacific
Gas and Electric company. which sup
plies San Francisco an environs.
In all this broad electric progress
1t is seen that economy is the ultimate
ruling element. So it was when Edi-
son perfected his first electric light
system. which he demonstrated TO an
astonished public at Menlo Park y. j..
in the winter of 1850.
Even more true was it of his feed
er" system of current transmission. on
which he developed 30 volts transmits
sion pressure. That method required
such n small quantity of copper wire,
as compared to the tree system.
which had been previously employed.
that the cost of supplying current TO
nine city blocks was reduced by $16S.-
OO0, at the market price for copper
then prevailing.
The same goal-cutting down ex-
penses-with Edison reached in the
lighting of nine city blocks at go volts
transmission will be attained IN pro-
portion BY the electrical engineers who
will send current 24O miles at 100000
volt transmission, to light and other
wise electrify n city Of over 500. 900
people-with its far-reaching suburban
territory.

return trip after a day and a half of

from where some of the boys returned
home and others went back to camp by

selves masters of the trail.e
En- route they found many points Of
interest. 'Injun joe who is mining
by the placer method, on what is known
as Placer creek, over the divide from

let the pack animals through. Several
new trails are being cut in the region

No Illness or Accidents
The camp has been fortunate this
year, in that no cases of serious illness
or accidents have married the pleasure
of the boys. Their health is watched
carefully. and accidents are guarded
against as well as may be. No swim
ming is allowed except under adult
supervision. ard the boys are accom-
panied by experienced leaders when
they hike IN a group. Occasional ad-
venture hikes are scheduled, TO allow
them to travel in whatever direction
suits their fancy.
The scout camp not only furnishes
the boy an outing. in the open air.
mountain scenery. good food, vigorous
exercise, all under expert and careful
supervision. but it provides also lead
ershiP in the various phases of the
scout program, and a boy who takes an
interest in his camp work should come
back TO his home and his troop a bet
ter scout, mentally. physically, socially
and morally. He is thrown in contact
with q group of boys representing all
social classes; democracy is the keynote
of a scout camp. Each boy takes his
turn at kitchen police" with the rest;
camp duties are assigned by turn; each
scout must tidy UP his " part of the
cabin and have his bed neatly made for
inspection.
Some of the cabins fairly shine when
the offers appear for inspection.
Every bit of dirt is out of sight. clothes
neatly hung up, shoes in straight rows
under the hunks. equipment off the
floor. lantern chimney polished. and
every possible feature attended to. in
order that cabin l. or .. or whatever
it may be, may have the award of
''cleanest cabin" for the day. The rub
bling up against other boys is one fea-
tur of a scout camp that means much
to those individuals who because of
circumstances have not learned to con
duet themselves in a group. Hazing
is not tolerated, but ~good-natured fun
helps the backward boy to come out
and take his own part and do his share
and enjoy the pranks himself. instead

j, LEADERSHIP
LOST TO ENGLAND
London Paper Says Harding
Regime Has Weakened on
World Economics.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press. e.,
LONDON, July 12-In the second
Of series Of articles relating to eco
nomic conditions, the Times argues
that the authority of the Harding
administration is weaker than when
the President convened the Washing
ton conference. and. therefore, Amer
lea was no longer in a position to
i take the initiative In the present
problems.
The leadership thus ,devolved on
England, who should permit France,
italy and Belgium to pay their war
debts to England in German repara-
tion bonds Of the c and B categories,
on the understanding that the bonds
| thus offered in payment be imme-
diately destroyed by the British
treasury.
Then at one stroke. the Times con-
tends, the problem in Europe Of in
terallied debts would be cleared away
would be diminished, roughly. by
f1.1oo 100000 sterling. The writer
| further contends that the first step
| toward this solution should be the
prompt funding of the British debt
to America. He declares that Eng
land never expected repayment Of
| that recovery of the Russian war
debt was out of the question. He
expresses the belief that 1t would
be moro acceptable to France and
italy to pay their debts than to have
| them Cancelled, but that it would do
more harm than good to issue spe-
cial French and Italian bonds to
provide the payment money. and that
by the plan suggested the whole
question might be solved without Of
fense to the dignity Of any ally.

FEDERAL COAL CONTROL

Even Though Temporary Peace Is

Declares Senator.

Drastic control Of the coal indus
try by the government must come
eventually, Senator Borah of Idaho.
chairman of the Senate labor COM
mittee. declared in an informal state
ment commenting on Presidents Hard
ing's efforts to end the coal strike.
Senator Borah said that he hoped
the Presidents commission plan
would bring results and added that
commission should be appointed to
determine means for applying gov
ernment control to the coal industry.
Il think the suggestion of the
President with reference to the men
going back to work pending a
settlement is. of course, entirely de.
do not believe that anything short
Of drastic control by the govern
ment of the coal industry will bring
anything like permanent relief.
"A commission such as suggested
might work out a settlement of the
present trouble, but the thing might
break out again in sixty days or six
months. I feel, therefore. that after
the present matter is adjusted by the
President, II possible. there ought to
be taken up the question Of govern
sarily lead to government ownership,
but 1t may"
That some legislation would be re-
ouired to work out the Presidents
present plan was assumed by Sena-
tor Borah who had no doubt but that

sress upon the executive request.
This would not be needed immedi-

SENATE MAY DELAY
| SHIP SUBSIDY. BILL
Canvass Of G. o. P. Side In.
dicates Action Will Be,
Deferred.

A canvass Of the republican mem
bers OF the Senate on the proposal
to take up at this session the ad-
ministration's ship subsidy bill has
developed the fact that there is
strong sentiment against bringing
the measure up at this time. The
details Of the poll. which has been
taken by the republican leaders. have
not been made public.
The results Of the canvass un-
doubtedly will be transmittedHto the
President, who has urged the pas
sage of the subsidy bill before the
adjornment Of the present session.
and has gone so far as to say, that
ne Will call Congress back into spe-
Ing on the ship subsidy bill.
Reasons for Delay.
| Various reasons are advanced by
republican senators in opposition to
taking the bill up now. 1t is said
that the legislative program Of the
Senate and the situation is such that
1t would be practically impossible to
act on the subsidy bill; that the tariff
Dill and the soldiers bonus bill will
carry this session of Congress
through the summer and almost to
1t is said. too. that the subsidy bill
will require great consideration; that
senators, particularly those from the
middle west. must "be shown" be-
fore they will support a subsidy plan
Such a plan, 1t Is urged, might not
appeal to many of the voters, par
ticularly in the middle west, and
might bring about losses In the COM
ing election.
Dry Issue Involved.
Still another reason advanced for
putting off consideration Of the sub
sidy bill is that the prohibition issue
has become involved in 1t, due to the
fact that liquor is being sold on Ship
ping Board vessels when beyond the
three limit. The prohibition is
sue. it Is said, 10 one that anxious
members Of the House would like to
avoid on the eve of an election,
On tho other hand. there are sena-
tors who believe, like the President
that the merchant marine situation
demands action without delay. This
is the attitude of Senator Jones OF
Washington, chairman Of the com
merce committee and sponsor for the
subsidy bill in the Senate. He insists
that the bill must be passed as quick
ly as possible, II there is to be an
American merchant marine.
There will be some democratic sup
port for the ship subsidy bill, but the
great majority OF democrats will op-
pose It
