 It's to be pulled off by the Boy Scouts; and consider yourselves as having an engraved invitation in hand.
 The occasion will assemble the | largest turnout of Scouts ever gath cred together in Birmingham. The 1 event will take place at the fair grounds, K. A. Brown, for the Fair association having given permission to hold the merrymaking there, in the name of boyhood, and probably some of his own joyful memories as a youth

 Challenges
 Immediately afterward the fields will assume the appearance or arenas 1 such as the old Greeks used to pro note when challenges will be in order from the troops. Represen- ltatiyes of one district Will chailenge the representatives of other districts in specified games, such as scouts, pace, pillow fight, rope climb, anu other thrilling boy-era delignts
 Then will come an address that will Inc enioyed by everybody if the Blr-- mingham public is not yet dead and can thrill to thoughts, ideals and "reminiscences. For Willis A. Sut- Iton. superintendent of schools Of Atlanta. will be here to make that speech of the night and, concerning him. that city Is exceedingly enthu- siastic. Formerly he was Scout Com missioner of Atlanta, and is said to lbe one of the finest and most effec- tive speakers to boys in the south today.
 Atlanta Boy Leader 1 Mir Shine declared:
 nsutton is the idol of Atlanta boy lhood."
 The speech has been framed to lappeal to boys and grownups alike. | Next in order will be stunts from each district, It may be that some of those boys will pose as the goa' M Mars-or as wiggletail seeking the great ocean. Whatever 1t is, there will probably be statuettes on the program, and certainly many things, Iyarying in degrees and style, which are being kept a dead secret until you lamp them with your own eyes.
 The idea of the jHfnboree is to get the boys together for q good time. las we'll as to assemble their parents to wake them up to the fact that tthey may be old and bald-headed and I"wrinkly in the face or not as young as they used to be, but that their | hearts are ever young and they're able to enjoy every sensation the l, Kids are and wish they could be lwith them.
 The grand climax of the jamboree will come when three, boys will be awarded the Eagle badge-the high est rank Scouts can acquire. The chaps who are thus to be dignified are Scouts Woodson Burchfiel and Nat Mcconnell of Troop IA of Wood- lawn and Assistant Scout Master Leon Franklin of Troop 10. 1 Pfograin Sure Each troop is to Be present with a peachy yell of it's own and ready to let it out whenevef called upon. as well as troop song. There will be d mass yell leader, and a song leader. The troops several times will sing l in unison under she starr. | It is anticipated that band also will be present
 | Executive Shine, who, upon occasions like this, can hardly be distinguished 1 from his boys because he's so busy i all among them, intends there shall be no slip-up on the jamboree.
 "if it rains" he declared I've in- vite the public to the First Baptist church at the same hour of 7:30 D. m and will eliminate the open-air supper feature in which the Scouts privately are to indulge.
 At the church. the scheduled pro- gram would go just the same"
