SEA SCOUTS AWAIT
ARRIVAL OF YACHT
Vessel Manned by 10 Scouts Is En-
Route Here From An
napolis.

Sea Scouts of the District are looking
forward to the arrival here tomorrow or
Tuesday of their newly acquired 79-
foot, 38-ton, yawl-rigged yacht, recent
II bought for training purposes.
The yacht, ofiicially named Argo, Is
being manned by IL washington Sea
Scouts under command Of Adrian Sizer,
en- route from Annapolis, where pur-
chase was made. Also accompanying
MIR. Sizer on the trip are Wallace Talley,
assistant executive, District of Column
bia Council Boy Scouts of America, and
Elwood Street, director of the Washing
ton Community Chest.
The Argo left Annapolis Friday aft
ernoon and Is making the entire trip
under sail, so that the time of its arri-
val cannot be definitely aScertained.
Built in Essex, Mass, in 1892, the
Argo was donated to the Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis for training purposes
Recently Academy authorities contem-
plated some changes in the vessel, but
upon looking up the law, found that
ance by the Naval Academy and that
therefore the yacht was still the prop
erty of the donor, Charles Fitzgerald of
Baltimore.
Informed that the yacht was stiIl his
property, Mr.. Fitzgerald stated that he
had no intention of taking back a gift
once made and when asked to authorize
some disposition of the boat suggested
that 1t be turned over to the Navy Re-
lief Society for its to sell. This was
done and Capt. Chester Wells, chairman
of the District of Columbia Sea Scout
committee, then arranged for its pur-
chase.
The Argo will be used both as a train
ing shin for Sea Scouts and for making
week end trips. Acquisition of the new
boat gives the Sea Scouts of the Dis
trict Of Columbia quite a feet, there
being several motor boats already In
commission. It is probable that the
Scouts will be organized along feet
lines with one Of the boats designated
as flagship.

Because of the great catches by Nor

that the whale may become extinct In
the southern ATTITUDES. Norwegian
companies pay small royalty to the
New Zealand government for the right
to kill whales wholesale, and the In

the apprehension. The attitude OF
some Norwegian whalers that the

they won't worry after that, is caus-

Tobacco is bad for human beings but IT seems
to be good for elephants veteran elephant
trainer points out that the big animals like
peanuts
THE common idea that elephants hate To-
bacco Is all wrong" said the trainer when
we have a parade, it's a constant effort to
keep them In line, because they will try to
break away whenever they see a cigarette or
cigar stub lying in the gutter.
IF you toss cigarette near an elephant
you will see his trunk swish down and pick
it up Then he'll stamp out the FIRE with
his foot If the cigarette is lighted and eat
II with the greatest relish.
Tobacco must be good for them because
elephants are very seldom sick. guess that's
a good thing, for if anything as big as an
elephant were sick much he'd be some Job
