Notes from the Boy Scout Camp

The Boy Scouts of the local troop,
along with several visitors belonging
to other troops, have been in camp
along the shores of Deep Greek Lake
for week. In this short time they
have had barrels of fun and have done
lots of Scout work. Several impor-
tant tests have already been passed.
There are in camp a total of twenty
nine boys and three men. The weather
has SO far been fine for camping pur-
poses and the location is pronounced
ideal by all who inspect the camp.
Last Thursday Dr. C. C. McCul-
Tough, deputy State health officer, of
Cumberland, visited the camp in the
capacity of inspector. After going
over all the equipment he pronounced
everything o. k. and did not recon-
mend a single alteration.
The visitors present last Sunday
numbered about $50. The Scouts ex-
pect another big day next Sunday,
which will be their last visitors day."
Camp will be broken Tuesday morn
ing, August 16.
The Scouts wish to express their
thanks to all those who have helped
to make this outing possible. Many
liberal donations were received from
various business, social and fraternal
organizations in and around Oakland.
Here are some of them: Oakland
Rotary Club, D. NJ. Dixon & Son, G.
A. Fraley & Son, Treacy's Cash Gro
Gerry, Oakland Produce Co., Mount
Airy Canning Company, Piedmont
Grocery Co., Miller's Meat Market,
Lauer's Bakery, Gonder's Drug Store,
and others. Donations of cash were re-
ceived from many others; also pies,
cakes, ice cream, candy, watermelons,
bananas, pop, hams and other good
ter, H. l.. Jones and W. W. Dawson
each donated day of their time to
help get ready for and set up the
camp. Messrs. H. A. Loraditch, W.
z. Hendrickson, c. n. McIntire and
w. E. Shirer each donated auto trucks
to move the equipment to the camp
site. The cars to carry the Scouts to
camp were donated by parents of the
Scouts.
The Scouts deeply appreciate the
good turns" done them by people Of
this community and have resolved to
repay in terms of good citizenship and
helpfulness whenever an opportunity
presents itself. S. w. SHIRER,
Scoutmaster.

WESTERN MARYLAND
TENNIS TOURNAMENT ON
Semi-Finals of Mems Singles
Scheduled For To-day With
Four Star Players Battling

hSPol CSu pPeSleilly lOI Inc hepuDll-
can by Paul G. Sullivan, Pittsburgh
Gazette Times Sports Editor.
Mountain Lake Park, Aug. 1.-THE
seventh annual Western Maryland
tennis championships, in progress
since Monday on the Women's Civic
Club courts here, have proven unques-
tionably the most successful net
events in local history Drawing
skilled and noted entries from Pitts
burgh, Wheeling, Washington, D. c.,
Baltimore, Chicago, Cumberland,
Charleston, Washington, Pa, and sur
rounding towns, the tournament has
offered competition both spirited and
sensational.
The semi-fnals of the mems singles
milling are carded for tomorrow
morning with Frank S. Smith, Pitts
burgh star, meeting Stump" Fried
richs, of Wheeling, in the upper half,
and G. A. Sawin, another Steel City
ace, taking on Gwynn King, brilliant
National Capital player, in the lower.
Smith advanced this morning by dint
of downing Alfred McCabe, Jr., of
Coraopolis, Pa, Ga, 6-3, in a stirring
fore-court duel. Friedrichs moved
ahead at the expense of his famed fell
low-toWnsmap, Senator Wright HUI
gus, who flashed brilliantly in set two.
only to fall by a 60, 0-6,6-1 count.
Sawin fought through the quarter
finals by edging out Capt. Miller,
Washington, d. c., veteran, Ga, rs,
while King forged to the front with
victory over Bob Place, University of
Chicago freshman luminary, after a
torrid combat, ST, 60, 60.
Favorites have come through thus
far in the women's division, which
boasts, incidentally, the strongest ar
ray Of feminine racquet talent as
sembled in this section of the country
in many a day. Elizabeth Hugus, of
Wheeling, clicked off her first round
opponent Miss Dezzette, of Washing
ton, Pa, GO, 6-3, early today and
drove so vigorously IN so doing that
her stock as candidate to retain the
title she captured just year ago,
scared decidedly skyward. Mrs. De-
Lloyd Thompson, of Little Washing
ton, Heloise Beebe, Virginia State
premier, Mrs. Rudolph Rebold, Cum
berland satellite, Sarah Wright, the
Frostburg volleyer, the ambidextrous
Corine Frazier, of Washington, d. c.,
Virginia Chnedinst, also of the Capt.
tai, and Dorothy Jarvis, Sewickley
girl and Western Pennsylvania final
list, still remain very much in the
running and must be reckoned with
ere the trophy can be awarded. Mrs.
Thompson's victim was Mary Faher-
ty of Oakland, who went down gamely
at 60, 6-1.
In mems doubles the potent Fried
richs-Hugus, Sawin-Dick, King-How-
enstein, and Smith-Bowie combines
continue to slide ahead apace. Sawin
and Dick were down at AS in the
third set to the Jarvises, senior and
junior, but pulled out CALAMITY, 4-6,
6-1. Sc, to achieve the semi-finals.
Friedrichs and Hughs broke into the
same bracket by trimming Weber and
, Weber, Cd, 60.
Finals in all classes are slated for
Saturday.

MOTOR INDUSTRY
IS TIGHTENING UP
Intensive Sales Methods Be.

Auto Output.
By j. c. RCYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special D.SpatcA TO The star
NEW YORK., June 11.-Competi-
ton in the automobile industry is
slowly, but surely tightening up. This
does not indicate g. price war; 1t
means intensive sales methods OF the
most up-to-date sort. 1t does not In
dicate approach of the saturation
point; on the contrary, 1t means eX'
pansion in production by some Of the
strongest elements in the trade.
One Of the leaders Of this great in
dustry has repeatedly pointed out
that sales of new cars have varied
only about S per cent above or below
the average level during 1924, 1925
and 1926. Yet some companies have
increased production and sales enor-
mously. This could have been done
only at the expense Of competitors.
Today the slight sag from the high
points of production and sales estab-
lished earlier this year are seasonal
and individual rather than general.
Firm Cuts Prices.
In one price field, a certain conf
pany has cut prices, increased out
put, reduced costs and speeded sales
efforts so that in the language of COM
petitors 1t is getting the business" "
In higher and lower price fields, other
lines are doing the same thing. But
for each gain there is "a loss some
where among competitors.
AT the moment the talk Of the in
dustry Is concentrated on the fact
that the sales and output Of the Ford
Co., have suffered this year. There
has been more than a little gossip of
a cut in Ford prices. Whether these
stories have basis in fact or not, the
margin of profit on each Ford car
produced is acknowledged in the trade
to provide an ample margin on which
to use the price knife.
This margin of profit has been
steadily reduced since around 1913 as
matter of Ford policy. but the in
crease in production has been as
steadily headed the other way through.
out most of this period. The improved
methods developed in the last five
years have stretched the profit mar
gins wider and 1t is doubtful II the
net profit on each Ford car produced
at present is less than $24 to S25.
When that sum Is multiplied by Ford
production. which represents almost
that of the total of the factories of
the United States. 1t readily can be
seen that the road over the hill to the
poorhouse for Mr.. Ford is likely TO be
a long one.
