by the looks of things the enroll
ment will be even larger than last

The camp is on BURNSIDE Lake
and is given to the Girl and Boy
Scouts by the Rotary Club. 1t con-
sistS of a seven acre tract of land
with a mess hall and kitchen. This
year the Rotarians have repainted
the roof and rechinked the cabin
with oakum so that it is in fine
shape for the coming encampment.
Registrations must he in by Mon
day, July 10Th. They should be
taken with the one dollar registra-
ton fee to Mrs. Gust Maxi. All

esengrs and for members Of the
crew are large, well lighted and
airy" said Mr.. Schantz, land the
ventilating problem has received
very careful attention. In the ships
of the d. & C. feet sheet metal
ducts lead fresh air to all inside
rooms. Toilet spaces are ventilated
into the stacks where possible and
ventilator heads exhaust the foul
air from the top of the dome. The
fans which are driven by motors are
located on the main deck and drive
the air through washers into the
ventilation ducts which distribute it
to all parts Of the vessel. To pre-
vent as far as possible the heating
of the air in the ship great expend-
lures have been made on the insula-
ton of engine and boiler castings,
and the underside of the decks and
at other parts of the structure
which might communicate heat.
"The requirements as to drinking
water are very strict and necessitate
piping distilled water all over the
ship. Raw water is carried in steel
tanks of about $4,000 gallons cap
acity, and there are tanks of 5000
gallons capacity for sterilized water.
The costly Violet Ray system is rsed
for sterilizing and this is supple
mented by the chlorine treatment to
that employed at times by the city
water works. The tanks are thor
oughly cleaned at frequent inter-
walls. Representative of the United
States public health service test the
purity of the water at frequent in
tervalS and their work is supple
mented by inspectors from the local
health departments in cities like
Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago.
"No kitchen in the country is
kept as spic and span as the galleys
on shipboard and the food supplied
both passengers and crew is the best
that money can buy, well cooked and
offered in wide variety. All food
handlers on the ship, under an or
der of the United States public
health service, are examined at the
local Marine hospital to make sure
they are free from any commune
able disease, and if their state of
health does not satisfy the public
health doctors they are discharged
at once.
"No other form of transportation
the health of it's patrons
like the steamboat lines and tourists
on the Great Lakes are in no danger
of contracting typhoid fever and
other ills frequently suffered by va
cationists who do not investigate the
water supply and endanger their
health by drinking contaminated
water and partaking of food, the
of which is not safe
guarded by the United States public
health department"

BIG CIRCUS SHOWS AT
VIRGINIA NEXT WEEK.

More than 400 arenic stars are
required to round out the program
of the Sells-Floto circus, which is
billed to appear in Virginia on We'd
nesday, July 21st. This big show,
long considered as the "class' of
the circus world, will doubtless at
tract hundreds from this place.
An added attraction this year is
Buffalo Bills Wild West Show, with
large number of full-blooded
Sioux Indians.
Noted this year as among the per-
formers is the famous ,"Poodles"
Hannaford and his comedy riders.
Hannaford is known far and wide
as the greatest circus performer in
his especial line in the world. Others
whose fame is widespread are the
Flying Wards, the Sells-FIlOto clown
army, the three herds of performing
elephants, included in which are the
only elephants who give an exhibit
ton of the now famous Charles
ton," and said to be perfectly train
ed in this novelty. =
There are also the 60 liberty
horses, half hundred performing
llOlS, IlStIp, HcOpdiuS, pOfdI DcdI
and others, the programs given by
each and by the mixed groups being
thrilling and exciting in the ex-
treme.
Practically two hours is given over
to the performance i'm the main
tent, and the three rings, steel arena
and stages are filled with action
every minute of the 100. The
opening spectacle is a pageant of
color and beauty and serves to in
troduce the 1000 people to the
audience.
Sells-Floto is the exception among
circuses, being absolutely clean, and
being at the same time exclusively
circus that has retained the feat
ures that make performance of this
kind enjoyable to every person who
attends. Two performances will be
given, the first at and the second
at 8 P. NJ Sells-Floto has not
raised the price of admission from
its always popular figures, another
thing that has made it popular with
the masses.

ELY ROLLS UP A SCORE OF
EIGHTEEN TO ONE AGAINST

FOURTEEN HITS AND TWO

With every Ely player securing at
least one hit, together with three
bases on balls and Canton's perfect
pitching, the Ely players completely
obliterated the strong team reputa-
ton that BiwaIbik possessed in hand
ing them an 18 to l defeat.
An Ely victory was certain after
the first three innings, -four runs be-
ing pushed across in the initial STAN
"a and three in the third. A home
run by Gianotti, two three baggers
by H. Chinn and Anthony, a single,
two walks, an error, and fielders
choice gave Ely eight more runs in
the fifth inning. Not contented
with a fourteen run advantage, Ely
grabbed off" three more counters
on a hit and another four base clout
by Gianotti into the wide open
spaces. Hogan made Biwabik's only
score when he hit for three bases
and then raced home on an error.
The pitching of Canton and the
hitting of Gianotti featured the con-
test; the Ely pitcher WHITING" fifteen

pionship Of the world.
But in winning the championship
I set another goal for myself, and
that is to be worthy of the title; to
be a champion in fact as well as in
name.'
In that earnest and modest man
ner did Gene Tune the devil dog
pride of Greenwich Village, New
York's first heavyweight champion,
accept the honors he won with the
weight of his fist in the rain-soaked
Sesqui arena last night.
Gene paid high tribute to his
handlers.
without their help 1 never could
have won," he declared. Lou Fink

very top of my fighting form and
once there the advice of Billy Glib

Jack fought a clean fight, and

It perfectly. 1t was rather unfO"-

but I think it handicapped me more
than Dempsey.

They are in the hands of Billy Glib

Concerning Harry Wills, Gene was
bit reticent.
There is time enough to discuss
Harry later on" he said.

Tunney Avoids Crowd;
Only Close Friends
Are Able to See Him
By international News Service

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24.-Gene
Tunney, newly crowned heavy
weight champion of the world. was
trying hard today to get some Sc
clusion from the small army OF
friends/who were coming to see him
and congratulate him on his victory
over Jack Dempsey. He spent most
of the morning reading and relax
ing.
So many wanted to see Tunney
that finally a guard Of half a dozen
policemen and detectives were
placed around his apartment and
only those whom Tunney and his
manager, Billy Gibson, wanted to
see were permitted to enter.
Among those at Tupney's apart
ment was Bill McCabe, old comrade
of Tunney's whom he met when
serving with the Marines in France.
This is the man who first pre-
dicted l would be the heavyweight
champion" said Tunney to report
ers pointing to McCabe.
McCabe saw Tunney whip Bob
Martin in France. He advised Tun-
ney in December, 1918, to stick to
fighting and that he would win the
championship, possibly in seven or
eight years.
He was right" said Tunney. 1T

Tunney paid tribute to Dempsey

Tunney has no immediate plans.
