Films Offered Archives.
Although the regulations for accept
ing films for accession" in the new
National Archives repository for pos
terity have not yet been developed,
thousands Of feet Of film already have
been offered the Archives from many
sources Among these are the Gov
ernment, the regular entertainment
motion picture industry. and other
sources of documentary film. No pic
lures have been accepted as yet. Al
ready leaders in the film industry are
vying with each other TO see which
can get the first famous entertainment
film accepted.
Much Of the matter to be filed prob
ably will be documentary and his
torical film of permanent value, Capt.

SCOUT JAMBOREE
WILL BRING $4,000
Preliminary Plans Made for
Session Beginning
June 30, 1887.

Preliminary plans were announced
today for the International Boy Scout
Jamboree which, it is estimated, will
bring more than 10000 Scouts from all
over the world to Washington for 10
days beginning June 80, 1887.
Harvey A. Gordon, engineer in
charge of the jamboree, and E. S. Mar
tin. director of Boy Scout publications,
have begun conferences with officials
of the National Capital Parks Office.
looking to Federal cooperation in the
plans ...
The big jamboree was to have been
held here last Summer, but was called
off nine days before, at the interVen-
ton of President Roosevelt and the
United States Public Health Service
because of widely prevailing cases Of
infantile paralysis in the District. Vir-
ginia and North Carolina. Scout ofh-
cials feared boys coming from Other
sections might become infected and
the epidemic would spread.
Arrangements are being made. it
was said, to establish the Scout camp
along Mount Vernon Memorial High
way on Columbia Island and as far
south as Four-Mile Run. Camping
space also will be provided IN East
and West Potomac Parks.
A minimum of 300 troops, repre-
senting Scouts from the United States
and all principal countries. will be
provided with tents, dining and
recreation halls during the jamboree,
which will be cue of the largest as
semblages ever held here.
The two Scout officials discussed
plans for reserving the Washington
Monument Grounds during the JAM
boree for the staging of pageants and
parades.
Plans are being devised closely
along the lines of the Inflated 1885
janrooree, and it is understood the

time must be vented so that the nitro
gen gases may pass out. In other
words. water sprayed on the container
cannot get in, but the gas inside can
get out OF the can.
Another important feature Of the
preservation system will be cabinets
in which to place the containers. Bids
for manufacture Of these cabinets will
be opened next Thursday by the Pub

The program of film preservation
may also be applied to saving film in
the new "microphotography." a proc
ess by which entire books are photo
graphed on film. Each page of a VOL
ume is photographed on a tiny piece
Of film, making it possible to record
an entire book in about IS feet Of mo-
ton picture film. This method of
preservation Of historic documents
and books Of all kinds is being rapidly
adopted in many places, and a pro-
gram is being worked out in the
Archives.
Capt. Bradley has had the co-opera-
ton Of several experts in developing
the new preservation program. Chief
Of these have been his technical as

Archivists Seek Perpetual Record of Race
Historical Films Would Be Kept by New Process Renewing
Rolls Every 500 Years.
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS.

DLANNING to put into effect as
- tonishing new developments
for preserving motion pictures
- permanently, the National
Archives is in the midst Of one
OF the most far-reaching moves ever
made to save the moving, speaking
history Of people.
New processes have been developed,
preservation apparatus designed. some
of which is under manufacture, and
bids soon will be asked for other parts
as the new program gets under way.
Worked out through cooperation Of
the National Archives. Carnegie Foun-
dation and the Bureau Of Standards,
the new system Is designed to save a
piece of motion picture film for a
period estimated at 500 years. At the
end Of this time the film. it is be-
lieved. will be in such good condition
that it can be copied-to last in turn
another 500 years or longer-and
so on.
When the Government started
working on this problem less than two
years ago, the life of motion picture
film was supposed to be from IS to
Is years.
Conferences Held.
In setting up the project originally.
the Government conferred with the
manufacturers. the producers and the
exchanges handling motion picture
film.
AS explained by Capt. John G.
Bradley, chief of the Division of Mo-
ton Pictures and Sound Recording
of the National Archives, the project
as worked out at the Bureau of Stand
ards through the cooperating agen-
cies. resulted in three outstanding
conclusions:
l. Film must be most carefully pro-
cessed to begin with and all hypo re-
moved.
2. 1t must be kept under specified
conditions with controlled tempera-
ture at so degrees Fahrenheit and so
per cent relative humidity.
3. II must be vented" or given air
access to the out of doors in order to
carry off the oxides OF nitrogen.
which inf1ammable film exude.
Finally. as a matter of course, the
item Of good housekeeping" must be
carried forward regularly. it was ex-
planned. in the matter of regular in
Spection and rewinding.
Cabinets and special finn containers
have been designed, along with newly
developed humidifying machinery.
The ventilation of film Is considered Of
the utmost importance. Capt. Bradley
explained.
At least two original ideas have been
developed by experts at the Bureau Of
Standards to help put into effect the
new project. One is "rehumidifier, "
machine to blow moist air over a
film while it is being slowly rewound.
1t has not yet been manufactured. The
other Is q vented film container."
Containers Ordered.
Orders have been placed for the nlm
containers and they are being manu-
tactured. These film containers are

Not only is there insufficient space
for the persons charged in the court
to stand, but if a fire ever should
break out in the old building lives
would be endangered. since there are
not sufficient exit facilities to allow
clearance of the building.
Two of the bailiffs, an attorney and
a reporter recently made wagers on
the condition of the fire hoses in the
building. It was decided to test the
hose on the fourth floor. The strong

to open the faucet which turns on the

Cocky never fails to greet Head
keeper William H. Blackburne. The
two old-timers came to the Zoo at

The cockatoo is readily tanned and
shows unusual intelligence. His vocal
abilities are decidedly limited, how
ever. A raucous squawk or a harsh
chattering is about all the best cocka-
too can manage. Cocky's family is
native to Australia and the East Indies
The cuckatoo has a crown of feath-

He usually inhabits forests and feeds

No one knows just how old
he is. He was over 5 when
Bethesda family gave him to the
Zoo As years ago.
At that time the struggling new
institution had only an elephant,
lion or so and few monkeys.
The sulphur-crested cockatoo was
quite an addition to the collection.
He is the last surviving member of
the original colony. Cocky carries
his age very well, considering.
But he is getting a trifle garrulous,
