Sunday was a gala occasion at

400 Boy Scouts went into their annual

first day of relaxation since the young
troops arrived.
1t was visitors day" and thousands
from San Antonio, Corpus Christi,
Kennedy, RunSc and points between,
all who had boy at the camp, were
there to see how the little fellow"
was faring. Strict camp rules had been
relaxed and the day given over to one
OF greetings. Basket picnics, family re-
unions, strolls through the park, hikes,
and baseball games were on the busy
program.
At headquarters Judge W. S. Fly.
president of Alamo Council, Scout
Commissioner Arthur Michael and
other scout officials were busy I'M
tansling the multifarious problems of
camp.
Suddenly the notes Of a bugle
brought order out of chaos. The parade
ground cleared as If by magic. Ranks
quickly formed in each company street
and 800 scouts stood at attention. I"
Another bugle call and the camp
guard marched TO its position facing
the colors. The color guard moved to
the flags. A moments pause then
clear and sweet sounded retreat As
the last note fingered and died away
the strains of the Star Spangled Ban
ner" swept over the field. Every scout
snapped into the salute and every
civilian head was barred. The colors
descended slowly and were reverently
folded for the night.
The day was over.

tinue to Score on Stock
Market
By international News Service


NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Spectacli-
lar price gains were recorded IN
stocks of the motor and industrial
stocks today, continuing the effect
Of yesterdays closing rebound, The
general Improvement in speculative
sentiment created by the softening
Of money rates, and the inevitable
return of the bargain-hunter to the
market.
Attention was riveted on General
Motors and Dupont in view OF the
meeting of the directors Of the
former this afterneeH, and the ex.
pectation of a cash dividend OF
from So to s6.
Dupont returned buoyantIy to 270,
at which price it was selling be-
fore the crash, meanwhile declining
to 231. General Motors recovered
to las, and Chrysler at 226 was up
Is points from the low Of the week.
Fisher Body, Hudson and other
well known motor shares were once
again on the upward move.
Wall Street was more inclined to
attribute Tuesdays smash as .
necessary corrective to a top-hoavy
structure, an overdue reaction for
which the raising of the Boston
rediscount rate was an excuse
rather th&n reason. With prom.
inent bankers expressing the Opin.
ion that the New York rate would
not be advanced this year, cali
money was plentiful at AZ. with
offerings in the Street at 4 per
cent, and the technical situation in
the market greatly improved, the
bulls summoned all their courage
and rushed to buy stocks.
The improvement was not con.
fined to the motor stocks. United
States Steel jumped buoyantly into
higher price levels and sold - to
| 134, against yesterdays close at
1917. Independent oil stocks.
| which apparently are in favor with
professional Wall street, continued
to move upward, and Standard Oil
OF New Jersey at AZ showed Q
1-point advance.
Trading was heavy in the first

utes behind the market at 1880

new high record at 1914 In tho
| leadership Of the railroad stocks,

Workers Seeking Investments.

Il has been recently rema rked
IN more than one local bank that
mechanics, artisans and saIaried
people in general are seeking m

vantage and the value Of invest

wisdom of consulting a banker be
fore purchasing investments.
1t cannot be too strongly pointed
out, according to all reliable author

an unframed investor to be certain
Of his investment is to consult q
