BOY SCOUTS To-
/. ATTEND CAMP.
18 Local Boys to Enjoy Camp
Life During August Fritz
Abegg in Charge

Eighteen of the local Boy Scouts
will attend the big Boy Scout camp
at the Kanowahke Lakes during
August. AS in previous years, the To-
cal council sought affiliation with the
Bayonne Councils camp, which is
conducted under the name: Camp
P%amrapo." 1t is situated at the third
lake and under the dictatorship of
Field Executive H. S. Comfy. The
Perth Amboy group will be under
the leadership of our Deputy Scout
Commissioner Fritz Abegg and
Scoutmaster James Harris.
The following scouts made appli-
cation: George w. jackson, Troop
8; Henry Nelson, Bert Waterbor,
Carl Lindblad, of Troop 10; Joe Den
mis-, Klaus Abegg, Allen Ramsay,
Everitt Tuttle, Harry Harris, Joe Sc
| guine, Tom Hall, Ralph Bella, Rob-
ert Schmehl, Tom Rossi, James
Turnbull, Albert Shultz, Stanley
Schultz and Emil Demchak, of
Troop 6.
This is a small number as compared
with last year when Perth Amboy
had a delegation of sixty-two scouts
from five troops, and it is hoped that
the undHclal ColultloH ol tHe Tertn
Amboy council will again permit a
material support of the campers
next year.
Next Monday evening at $3.50 all
campers will assemble at the home
of Deputy Scout Commissioner
Abegg, at 1872 High street. in ac-
cordance with the general camping
rules every camper will have to IN
dergo medical examination. I%nstruc-
lions regarding the necessary equip
ment will be issued and refresh
ments will be served.
Although small in number the
campers have resolved to do all in
their power to win the camp honors
once again and to come back
chuck-full of camp and scout spirit
for the benefit of those who are less
fortunate and have to stay home.

giles, does his marvellous elephan-
tine dances. Thirsty, the Camel,
runs a race with Beulah, the Ac-
cordeon-P Plated Mule. Otto, the
Educated Ape, followed by half a
dozen little monkeys, does stunts
that even boys would find it hard
to initiate. Bears and tigers dance
or their hind legs. Such phenom-
email animal acts were never een
before.
WILD WEST SHOW: With a
mighty shout and a great rush, the
cowboys and horses thunder in for
the Wild West Show. Rope-throw-
ing. rough-riding, picking up hand
kerchiefs and caps, with horses
whirling, jumping sideways, rear
ing and kicking, give the spectators
one thrill after another. The one-
boy-power horses, though vicious
and hard to handle, are marvel
ously trained Nothing seems too
difficult for the cowboy riders to
attempt. A stage-coach battle with
the Indians ends the act.
SPECIAL STUNTS: Balancing
themselves with umbrellas on high,
thin ropes, three feet above the
ground, Prof. Dizzy and the Slack
Sisters hold the crowd breathless.
Then the back-breaking stunts of
Prot. Weeks, the Strong Man, and

At last the circus day is here.
Everybody is on edge with excite
ment. What will the big show be
like?
In the morning comes the pa
rade. AS we stand waiting, we
hear a great noise in the distance.
1t sounds like music, yet it is
strange and weird. What can it
be? AS the parade approaches, we
see that it is the Paper Megaphone
Band, pictured above. Each boy,
with a megaphone to his mouth, is
initiating some band instrument.
The effect is truly startling.
The Caltiope Steams Past
Then come the animals, the
clowns, the cowboys, and finally the
steam calliope. A great gilded milk
can, set on a cart, with smoke
pouring out the top, and a few half
hidden boys footing differently
tuned whistles, make it seem for all
the world like a real steam calliope.
The parade is over. The time for
the show arrives. The program is
spectacular. There are many big
features:

Decline in Federal Loans

CLEVELAND, July 22.-That de-
fation was both complete and severe
here in the last year is indicated in
the decline of Federal Reserve loans
to Cleveland banks in the last year
from $4,000, 900 to about $4,000
900 and in the decline of welfare
work in the industrial plants. Fac
tories are at present in the summer
slump in many lines and this,
coupled with the natural defation
of the times, makes a situation of
easy money. AS soon as the fac
tories resume fully they will need
large supplies Of money.
The depression has not left Cleve-
land, although it is leaving. Cleve-
land was one Of Hhe last cities to
feel it acutely and IS naturally one
of the last to get over it.
