Scout Camp Life Varies

IN one Of the large Boy Scout eneampments
] in upper New York State the boys are
divided into six groups, somewhat dependent
upon the hardthood o1 their nature and the
type Of camping conditions under which they
live. -
Out in the open and in the main group are
three classes, the plainsmen, rangers and
medicine men, who live in small buildings,
constructed much along the line Of the large
Army tents, which house eight boys each.
Another group, known as the Indians, live in
tepees built of poles in regulation Indian FASH
material for the shelter. The tepees house
first four classes are out in the open in cleared
areas and closely grouped
Back in the first fringe Of the woods are
erected buildings like those used by the plains
men. In these live the woodsmen who are
q separate camp in themselves, with their own
tpoking equipment and with the boys them
Selves doing the cooking. They lead life
much more like the primitive life of the early
settlers and are much more on their own
than those in the camp proper
Way back IN the woods are the hardest of
the lot, the p6Oneers who depend for shelter
upon rudely constructed lean-toos. Their
camp life, excepting for the regular camp
classes and other an-camp activities, is dis
tinctly their own, with trails made through the
dense wood. tree telling, wood chopping shell
ter construction and other activities like those
of the early pioneers.
The clear eyes, 0blexnisf1ed skim healthy tan
and hard muscls testify to the advantages of
the camp life Of these boys

Neqe Types of Potatoes

] culture who have been tracking the potato
in its native lair have returned to the United
States with 425 different lots of tubers, both
wild and domestic in origin. The explorations
were carried on in Chile at an altitude, mostly,
of 10000 feet
It is hoped through tests to be carried On
with the Cf1ilean potatoes to develop types for
use in this country which will be both disease
and weather resistant
The exploration trip was the second take1
under authorization Of Congress, the former
trip having been made to Mexico.

it is hoped by the authorities that trafhc acci-
dents may IN time, be greatly lessened-
During the neIt IL months, however, Ire
probabilities are that there viii be something
like 1000 traffic ACCIDENTS in Washington, about
80 of which viii be fatalities.

Comtinxed from Third Pooe

the exception Of New York City, washington
also is q tourist city, enjoying and enduring
throughout the year far more than its allotted
share of visiting drivers, unfamiliar with either
the city or It's traffic regulations.
Thus the trafnc accident figures for the Dis
trict of Columbia are decidedly smaller than
might be the case. No potential victim, how
ever, will accept them as satisfactory.
They are not satisfactory to Director OF
Traffic william A. Van Duzer. who seeks the
co-operation of the driver and the pedestrian
to change them for the better.
Mr.. Van Duzer came to Washington as tIafhc
director in July, 1881, fresh from the position
as assistant chief engineer OF the pennsylvania
Highway Department. He is chairman Of the
Traffic Committee of the Highway Research
Board, National Research Council assG one OF
the chief aims Of this ecEmiruee Is the reouc-
ton of traffic accidents throughout the Nation.
1t is an end toward which he would like to
see Washington lead the way
There are two main elements to be consid-
cred in accident prevention" says Mr.. Van
Duzer, "the physical element including the
machine and the highway on which 1t operates,
and the human element, composed of the
driver and the pedestrian. More than 95 per
cent of all accidents are caused by the human
element. Even when defective equipment. such
as loose brakes worn steering gear IS given
as the cause of an accident, the real fault Is
not in the apparatus, but In the dr1ver VINO
knew the bad condition Of his car existed and
failed to have 1t remedied. 1t is this human
element that makes the improvement OF the
traffic situation.a slow AMI difficult process"
ORDINARuIY, the majority of violations of
~ law that do not result in accidents bring
no unpleasantness to the driver, being 80
numerous that most Of them cannot be COM
mitted under the observing eyes Of policemen.
A survey now Il being made throughout the
city to determine how many violations actually
take place. Representatives of the Irafnc De-
partment are stationed at certain intersections
for several consecutive mornings to count the
violations. When an estimate has been reached,
these men are replaced by policemen, and
arrests begin.
This survey was begun on the morning Of
August IL, at Fifteenth and streets northwest.
OF the 800 automobiles that passed this inter-
section from to O'Clock, $50 were observed
to be violating the law. Exactly 200 Of these
violations consisted of failure to yield right Of
way to pedestrians and LOG Of failure to give
right of way to other vehicles. Thirty-nine
were exceeding the speed limit.
Mr., Van Duzer is Of the opinion that there
Is no point In having large number of minor
traffic rules that will inevitably be disregarded.
"The fundamental laws" he says, should be

ture and the nation seems to have
caught the spirit of recovery.

Considering conditions locally
for the past year, the report made
by the committee in charge of the
fair this year is indeed encourag-
ing. But for the payment of some
bills carried over from last year,
the association would have had a
cash balance on hand. AS it is
the small Indebtedness against the

makes the proposition distinct

BUSINESS is BACK

Several millions of American
citizens have for several months
been anxiously waiting to see bus
mess turn the corner. Many had
the feeling that it would appear
as a race car and would turn the
corner on two wheels. They now
find that business is in charge OF
a careful driver, that it turned the
corner at an extremely moderate
rate and that it is going forward
steadily, without spectacular fea-
lures. For this the country ought
to be grateful. The gains made in
industry in recent months are be-
ing consolidated and held.
From Chicago is dispatch say
ing the middle west has started
buying again. Chicago wholesalers
have been particularly busy for
the last month, with buyers de-
handing immediate shipments be-
cause inventories were low. "Gain
in Steel lines Seen on Solid
Basis" says an eastern headline.
Freight car loadings have increas-
ed, and as one railroad official ex-.
presses it, "there can be no pros
perity without increased freight
handling, and there will be no in
crease in car loadings without
prosperity"
From virtually all sections of
the country some reports of stiff
ening commodity prices, greater
demands for merchandise and
more satisfactory tone in nearly
all lines Of industry. This must
mean that confidence has been re-
stored and that boarding practical
lyhas ceased. Brought back in
such manner-step by step ra-
ther than with rush and inflat-
ion that could not be maintained,

BONDS ARE FIRM
IN FAIR TRADE

NEW YORK, June % QNS0.
The bond market presents fairly
firm appearance today. While
the domestic rails showed gener-
ally good tone, the United States
Government loans displayed a
tendency to move toward lower
levels.
In the Government list in fairly
heavy trading, opening quotations
showed losses ranging from 1872
to 4-32 of a point. United States
Treasury IS started off at 1926,
off 1892; Liberty first 4As were
unchanged at 101.18, as were the
Liberty fourth 4As at 102.12.

at SO, while the 33ss of l943
gained 1872 at SO. Treasury Is led

4-32 at 1923
A moderately strong tone pre-
vailed in the domestic carrier. list

Pacific, Nickel Plate, and several

So you find many men who
argue that we should go ahead
with initiation. They point out
that the Glass bill to issue paper
money backed by nothing but Gov
ernment bonds is still pending.
Even though they recognize that
such initiation would ultimately
lead to another crash, they want
to avoid the readjuStment now.
They want prices to rise again.
We still stand at the crossroads.

Initiation Still Threatens
But the forces making for re-
newed initiation are not yet de-
feated, and in the selfish, short
sighted political struggle which is
now on, the danger of giving the
people soft money is real"
just remember these facts:
Initiation makes dollars buy

SLUMP IN COPPER MART

NEW YORK. June "a G,N.s.l.--
Copper buying continued small here
and abroad today and from present
indications gives promise of being in
active for some time. 1t Is believed
that the only factor that will revive
copper will be for the producers to
shut their mines down in this country
and curtail drastically abroad. 1t is
held that not until world stocks begin
to definitely show material reduction
from month to month can there be
any real basis for an advance in
prices.
ElectroIytic copper for domestic
shipment is t% cents a pound deliver

Furthermore, the new ruling on

any enthusiasm about the short

Banks may write up collateral

NEW YORK, June % G.N.SD
The Curb Market today con-
tinued its general attitude of

ception of some special move
ments in the bond division, the
list remained within restricted
trading limits.
Contrary - expectations, the
overnight announcement of the
common dividend omission by

to have any adverse effect upon
its parent company, Electric
Bond and Share. AS of Decem-
ber 81 last, Bond and Share
owned 1.976,638 shares of Elec-
trio Power common, so that the
drying up of income from this
