BOY SCOUTS

The weekly edition of the Tonasket
CWaSh) Times of January 20 had Il
new set of editors. TWenty-siX Boy
Scouts handled the job. The only help
the newly installed Journalists re-
ceived from the Times staff was the
suggestion of sources of news, the
writing of heads for articles, and the
handling of the copy after it was
turned in. The Times turned over all
its facilities to the local troop, and
then placed the output into the hands
of the boys for sale. The price was
higher than usual-25 cents-because,
as the Times said, the Boy Scout
number was worth more" The eli
max came when the Times turned
over the entire proceeds for the local
scout budget.
Three thousand acres of land near
Halifax, Nova Scotia, have been set
aside by the provincial government
for the use of the scouts Of that sec
ton. Here the scouts will study re-
forestration and develop a preserve
for wild life of the province. Various
troops Will erect permanent camps of
logs for use the year round.
c. G. Schlaefli. deputy commissioner,
held the first division scoutmasters'
roundtable last Tuesday evening at
headquarters. Many drastic changes
were proposed and discussed concern
ing scouting in the future for the
division and the council in general.

ton of the first and second divisions.

DRIVE TO RAISE
$4,000 is PLANNED
Sum to Be Sought for Phyllis
Wheatley Y. W. c. A.-21
Teams Are Organized.

An intensive campaign to raise
$4,000, which represents the budget
difference for maintenance and ex.
tension work, will be launched to-
morrow by the Phyllis Wheatley
Young Women's Christian Associa
ton. The campaign will continue
until March 16.
In recognition of it's 81 years OF
service to the colored girls and women
of the country, 81 teams, composed of
II members each, have pledged to
raise stated sums.
Various business organizations in
the city will assist in the drive, and
have designated captains, who in turn
have formed campaign units. The
churches will set apart a "Y. w. day.
at which time the real purpose of the
drive will be set forth. Rev. ST. Elmo
Brady, member of the faculty OF
Howard University, will make the
formal opening address tomorrow
evening at the Phyllis Wheatley "Y'
building.
The Phyllis Wheatley building is
located at 9th and Rhode Island
avenue. The association was founded
Fl years ago In humble quarters ir
the southwest section of the city
The present structure in which it is
now housed was the gift of the Wal
Work Council, costing $4,000.

sun crosses the Equator March q at
400 am, Eastern standard time.
Spring begins then. On this day the
sun at noon is directly overhead to an
observer on the earth's Equator, and
the sun rises due east and sets due
west over the whole world. After this
day the sun rises north of east and
sets north of west by an amount
which IS greater the greater the dis
lance from the Equator. The sun at

noon is directly above point which
is north of the Equator by an amount
which increases until June p, when
the sun, as we say, is farthest north.
We call the time when the sun crosses
the Equator the vernal equinox. mean
ing the time when the day and night
are equal in the Spring. However, the
day and night are not equal at this
time, as we ordinarily count the times
of sunrise and sunset. AT Philadelphia
and points south to the Equator the
sun rises at GOA local time on this day
and sets at 6:l2 at Philadelphia, but at
GIL for points nearer the Equator.
| The time between sunrise and sunset
| is thus II hours and minuets. The 8
minutes over the II hours, which
would be the length for equal day and
night. arises from the fact that we
| take as sunrise the time when the
edge of the sun first appears above the
horizon, and not the center, and as
sunset the time when the last point
of the sun disappears. and also from
the fact that the refraction in the.
earth's atmosphere enables US to see
the sun when it is really below the
horizon.
