SCOUTS MAKE TRAFFIC SURVEY

The city planning commission OF
Grand Rapids, Mich, recently invited
the Boy Scouts of America TO con-
duct a traffic survey. This was ac-
complished in SO thorough and salts
factory manner that the boys won
high praise not only from the city
planning department but from all who
saw tie boys nj their work. The
count was checked up by men from
the traffic safety council and was
found In only one instance to have
been inaccurate. Hugh Il. Lynch
secretary Of the commission, in thank
ing Scout Executive Walker for the
boys services. said that he regretted
that every boy could not have the
benefit of scout training, because he
could see in watching the boys at
work how far-reachlng the influence
OF the. movement was and what a
genuine contribution TO citizenship

been ascended by two American coll

MI AlamhueZ rises 1900 feet from
a broad plateau about 80 miles east
OF Alexandropol The Americans had
made two previous attempts to reach
the summit. which is regarded as even
more difficult than the ascent of Mt
Banc. On their third and successful
attempt they mounted nearly to the
snowline on American army mules,
which left 5000 feet of the most diff.
ficult and perilous climbing before
them.
Spending the night in a little viii
lage below the snow line they started
at o'clock in the morning and by
rapid climbing reached the summit
before dark. After carving their names
and addresses in a large rock they
returned TO the SO0O-foot level by
midnight.
