The enthusiasm of the enlisted per-

above the average and there is much
interest being shown in the various

established by Col. Louis C. .Brinton,
senior Regular Army Instructor in

He will also visit the new artillery
sheds adjoining the Coast Artillery

pleted and which house the two large
long range French guns which were
used by District Guardsmen at the
front during the war and one of
which bears a wound stripe, having
been hit by German shell in action.
After inspection of the armory and
headquarters of the batteries Gen
stephan will review the regiment in
the drill hall.
The adjutant generals office of the
District National Guard has received
notice from the National Board for
the Promotion of Rife Practice of the
War Department that class b medals

Officers of the 121st Engineers, Dis

pleased by recent announcement OF
Maj. Gen. Harry Taylor, chief of en-
Gineers, showing total increase OF
the Engineer National Guard strength
in the United States during the
past year of 66 officers and 927 enlist
ed men. The period for which the fig

The members of the 12lst Engineers
feel that they are responsible for d
considerable portion of this increase

cruited within the period, in addition
to Il large increase in the enlisted
personnel of those companies already
organized.
Announcement has been made that

has recently been called to an act
of heroism performed last Summer by
Scout j. f. Hill Of Troop 81, Kenil-
worth. With other boys, he was at
swimming hole in Northwest
Branch when one of their number,
Harry Aimes, IL years old, and unable
to swim, got into water 10 to 15
feet deep and went down several
times. The pool is some 40 feet wide
and Scout Hill had hard swim to
reach his companion, but accom-
plished it and brought him safely to
shore. thanks to his Lfe-saving
training. The deed Of Scout Hill will
be brought to the attention Of the
Boy Scout Court of Honor.
Schoolrooms are proving practical
places for observation Of the value
of scouting. Teachers hearty COM
mendation and ready help in Scout
projects are furnishing inspiration to
many boys and strengthening the
bonds between instructor and pupil.
In Washington there are II troops
meeting in school buildings. and
many of them enjoy the active CO.
operation of teachers as we'll as Of
community center leaders.
One Eagle Scout was recognized by
the Court Of Honor last Tuesday
evening He was Frank Whitney Of
Troop 10. and he also became Life
and Star Scout at the same court.

BOY SCOUTS

Scouts did creditable service on
Armisttce day, last week. in addition
| to their own significant ceremony in
placing a wreath on the tomb of the
Unknown Soldier at Arlington.
At the exercises held on Mount
Saint Adams to the memory of Wood
! row Wilson, they formed a guard of
honor. and acted as ushers. lending
color to the ceremonies that would
otherwise have been lacking. The
speaker was one of their own. Hus-
ton Thompson, who is honorary pres
ident of the District Of Columbia
Boy Scout Council; and the one he
eulogi1ed was the wartime national
President of the Boy Scouts Of Amer
lea, as well as of their country.
President Wilson had iDspired them
to the making o. that wonderful rec
ord during the war that demon
strated to the world what organized
boyhood could accomplish. Millions
| in Liberty bonds and war savings
| stamps sold: walnut spotted for gun
stocks and airplane propellers: lit
orally billions of posters distributed
| for nearly every organization func-
tioning in connection with the wal:
| salvage and thrift methods furthered
such as the collection of peach pits
| for gas mask charcoal. and other
schemes that saved hundreds of thou
| sands Of dollars. These and many
other services were rendered at the
| call Of the man who was being hon
ored on the anniversary Of his last
public utterance.
Many in the crowd at the Peace
Cross were reminded of scouting S
wartime service as they. gazed upon
| the two upright little fellows in
Khaki, the one on either side of the
altar as Commissioner Thomson
was speaking.
| The Boy Scout movement is older
now and it has greatly increased its
membership; but it is doubtful it if
! will render more significant service
than that for which tho great war
gave opportunity.

NEW YORK, Feb. IL. - Initial
strength was not sustained in the
first two hours trading on the
stock exchange today. It could
plainly be seen that the highly ia
vorable tonnage statement Of the
United States Steel Corporation,
showing an increase in forward bust
ness of about 353, 600 tons, was the
most influential factor in the open
ing dealings. In fact, trading took
on an air Of buoyancy, large blocks
Of steel, sugar, leather and miscel-
laneous shares changing hands at
substantially higher prices. The
publication Of a batch Of favorable
Industrial earning reports for 1928
and announcement Of an increase
in Oldsmobile price schedules also
bolstered sentiment.
However, it was not long before
the advance was completely checked
by the appearance of profit-taking
sales and the placing of new short
lines by those who felt that the
market was due fer a further
reaction before the major swing
could be definitely resumed. Again
1t was a matter Of encouraging
comment that the setback was ac-
companied by a decreasing volume
Of transactions, plainly indicating a
refusal on the part Of constructive
interests to part with their hold
ings. Such important leaders as
Steel common, Baldwin, Studebaker
and American Can Cancelled their
early gains, but received good sup
port when bears tried to force quo.

Trading in the oil group was con.
Quoted with much hesitancy, for
which the uncertainty surrounding
the naval lease and the crude oil
and gasoline price situations were
mainly responsible. Pan-American,
following Saturdays rally, fell back
point or more, while other shares
in that section hovered closely
around previous figures.
The industrial list was not without
its now familiar upbidding of vari.
Gus specially stocks, notably Con.
goleum, White Motor, Otis Elevator,
! Fisher Body, Lorillard and Fleisch-
mann.
Movements in the railroad section
were similar to those witnessed in
the industrial group. Opening gen.

stocks, relinquished their improve

souri, Pacific, however, moved to a

steady accumulation.
