MAY REGISTER FOR
CAMP Chan OWAPI
AT THREE PLACES
Boy Scouts Will Live Outdoors
June 1926 and June
26-JuIy 3

Boy Scouts may register for one or
both OF the summer periods at Camp
Chan Owapi at any one of three
places in Bismarck and Mandan,
Scout Commissioner w. G. Fulton said
Tuesday.
Chan Owapi is a summer camp on
the shores of Wildwood Lake, between
Wilton and Washburn. The two
camp periods for this year are June

The scouts may register at Romans
Drug Store at Mandan or The Shoe
Mart and scout headquarters in the
city auditorium In Bismarck. Each
registration must be accompanied by
a 81 fee, Fulton said. Camp fees
will be $3.50 for one week or SIP for
two weeks.
May Give Preference
Scouts may register a preference for

action advisable.
Members of the camp committee are
H. O. Saxvik, chairman; ]. N. Rob-
erty, DR.. George M. Constans, and
Fulton, Bismarck: and F. p. Homan
and H. G. Schultz, Mandan.
Each camper must have a physical
examination within one week of the
time that his camp period opens and
he must have his doctors certificate
with him. Bismarck and Mandan
doctors will give these examinations
free of charge.
The camp will be under the direc-
ton Of Fulton, who will be assisted
by volunteer staff Of scoutmasters
and junior officers of camp and scout
experience.
Transportation Provided
Transportation will be provided for
all scouts leaving for camp from Bis
marck and Mandan. Because the
camp periods begin on Sunday, or Wis

vited to visit camp that day and bring
their boys to the camp with them.
Visitors days will be each Sunday

Rubber Coated Tubing.
The lives of many gallant aHators
have been sacrificed because of broken
gasoline lines in sirplanes, especially in
the days before parachutes came into
common use.
1t was easy to make metal tubing
which would stand up for years under
Ordinary usage; impossible to make
tubing which would not crystalline and
break under the inceSSant vibration OF
airplane operation. Broken fuel lines
not only starved motors, but in many in
stances poured raw gasoline into motor
compartments, there to be ignited by
hot exhaust piping or backfire from the
expiring motor.
Many combinations were tried. Rub
Der joints were used at all connections
to reduce vibration. Rubber, exposed to
oil and gasoline, however rotted rapidly
and broke. Vibration continued with
resulting failures.
Various metals have been tried, but
no metal or combination Of metals
proved a cure-all

without failure, the War Department
has just announced.
The rubber coated tubing Is the result
Of long continued experiments with
many. many types of tubing designed
for use in aircraft fuel systems. Vari-
Gus metals were subjected to grueling
tests In machine which produced con-
slant destructive vibration similar to
that encountered in airplanes, where
heavy, powerful motors are anchored
only to very light frames.
1t was discovered that metals made
Of aluminium alloys proved equal in
strength to copper, with the advantage
of lighter weight. The expedient of
vulcanizing rubber tubing to the metal
tubing produced a surprising increase
of durability in the vibration tests, it
was announced. In the fittings the
tube was flared and 80 designed that
the shock absorbing and sealing effect
of rubber was carried inside the fit

added safety factor to the fuel or oil
system. 1t was found In the tests
that, even when the metal tube broke
under the vibration, the rubber tube
served as a protective coating, pre-
venting for the life of the rubber the
leakage Of fuel.
Diesel Secrets Aired.
The awarding of the Collier Trophy
to the Packard Motor Car Co. for its
development Of the Diesel airplane
engine has served to focus public at
tention on a type OF airplane power
plant Of which there is little public
knowledge, though the motor already
has figured in several notable aviation
exploits, including the establishment of
one of the four major world airplane
records.
The Diesel principle is not new. Ma
rine and stationary Diesel engines have
been in use for many years, They
have been exceedingly heavy, however.
In adapting the Diesel principle to
aeronautics 1t was necessary to reduce
excess weight far below the limits then
regarded as possible. The Packard en-
gineers. chiefly the late Lionel M. Wool
son, cut the weight from 20 pounds
per horsepower to q trifie more than
two pounds.
The Diesel engine has no spark plugs
or other electrical ignition and does not
require a carburetor. Air alone is taken
into the cylinders on the intake strokes.

The job of center fielding for the fa-s travelling Yankees calls for L.1enty Of legwork.
 SpTy, young sammy Byrd got off to a great start in this posi- ton but it was not long before Manager Joe Mccarthy was ob- lged to call on the more experience ed Kentucky Colonel, Earle Combs.
 Even when Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel were close to their prime, Combs had t orange over about three -fourths of the outfield mak- ing catches. The Kentuckian's only handicap was his throwing arm but Bob and the Babe were at least willing to rifle the ball back to the infield if Combs made the catch.
 Now that young Ben Chapman is playing on one side and the aging, much less nimble MT. Ruth on the other, Combs needs all the speed he can muster to cover the outer reaches of the Yankee Sta dium.
 Against Cleveland I saw the vet eran in one inning race away over to right for a drive from Cissels bat and then gallop to deep left to retrieve Porter's wallop that had bounced past Chapman for triple. Combs broke a leg when he first came up to the big leagues from Louisville but you would never suspect it now from the way he gallops over the turf. He's the Man O War of the Yankee out field.
