More than 1000 Scouts visited the bu-
reau yesterday.
Real G-men, some of them veterans
of front-line gangland battles re-
ceived the Scouts with the rattle of
machine-gun fire-but the guns were
aimed at targets in the pistol range in
the basement OF the building.
The Scout gangs" were finger
printed, if they wished, and the finger
prints were filed in the non-c criminal
section of the big identification di-
vision-apart from the more than
100000 prints of the Dillingers, the
Karpises and the other notorious des-
peradoes who have been prey OF J.
Edgar Hoover's crime fighters.
All the visitors wanted to shake
hands with Director Hoover and get
his autograph, but there were so many
that the head Oman could not spare
the time. He would have no time to
do anything else but greet the boys,
it was pointed out to groups of Scouts
who appeared at his Office.
A few Scouts managed to get in
Hoover's Office, by one method or an
other, and they emerged wide-eyed
from the general headquarters,
where they were greeted in friendly
fashion by the director. One Of the
first Scouts to succeed in meeting
Hoover was ushered in promptly when
he told secretary he had met Hoover
In another part Of the country and
had been invited to pay a personal
visit when he came to Washington.
Handling the large delegations Is
proving quite problem for F. B. I.

$4,000 BOYS GET
JAMBOREE PHOTOS
Camera Craze Reaches New
High-25,0O Prints
Turned Out Daily.

The camera craze has reached
new high at the Jamboree, with at
least $4,000 Scouts taking pictures
from every conceivable angle.
More than half Of the boys carry
cameras with them wherever they 20,
determined to make film record of
an experience which TO many u the
most thrilling of lifetime.
The finishing Of jamboree photo
graphs is big business in itself. A
profit of about $4,000 is expected To
be realized by the Scouts for the sale
Of camera supplies and service at
the camp.
The Washington firm which has the
camera concession operates l8 agen-
cles IN the trading posts. each with
stock Of supplies larger than the
average drug store layout. Hundreds
Of Scouts who failed to bring cameras
from home are buying them here.
A staff of 10 photo fnishers is turn
ing out more than $4,000 prints daily
for jamboree Scouts. The profit from
this business, together with the sale
OF supplies, will be turned over to JAM
boree officials for camp expenses. II
the jamboree shows profit it will be
prorated among the Scouts after the
books are balanced.
The photo fnishers say the Scouts
are turning out better pictures by the
large than the general public. This
Is due to the fact that Scouts must
have at least an elementary knovl-
edge Of photography to obtain a merit
badge for this activity.
Scouts must know something of
composition, shutter speeds, focusing
and the finishing processes. Their
collective enthusiasm for producing
good pictures is enormous.
The Jamboree Journal is conducting
an amateur contest and paying a dol
lar each for the pictures published.
Pictures are pouring in by hundreds,
and more are expected later.
The jamboree's photo finishing
plant is operating 20 hours a day and
turning 800 rolls Of film an hour.
Most OF the boys have simple box
cameras, which they can purchase
for few dollars, although there are
hundreds of expensive candid cameras
and motion picture cameras.
The photo flnishers say they are
learning a lot about the world by
developing film taken by Scouts on
their way to Washington These travel
pictures have been taken in almost
every quarter of the globe.
The Scouts are being photographed
by thousands OF jamboree visitors.
Almost all of these have a camera of
some sort and are constantly on the
alert for novel shots.
Every camera shop and developing
plant in the city Is getting extra busi-
ness from the jamboree, it was said.

25O Tons of Food Used Daily
For Hungry Horde at Jamboree
Scout Executives Haze PrOrided System,
of Distribution Permitting All to
Hare Meals at About Same Time.

The job Of distributing some $50
tons of food every day in manner
designed to meet with the approval of
25,000 hungry Boy Scouts sounds like
a tough assignment.
Boy Scout executives figured out
method that will permit practically
every one in the huge encampment to
eat his ham and eggs at the same
time-a method SO simple that the job
doesn't seem tough at all.
some food, too. during the To-day
jamboree. They'll eat about 900 BUSH
els Of potatoes each meal, 1000 pounds
Of butter and tons of sugar daily:
$4,000 eggs every breakfast, plus 1900
gallons Of some canned vegetable each
meal - tomatoes. corn, succotash,
string beans, etc. They drink $4,000
quarts Of milk daily.
Special Mess Hall.
A special mess hall has been ar
ranged for Scout executives, the gen.
eral headquarters staff and members
Of the press. Walters from the May
flower Hotel staff are serving in this
tent. The Scouts, however, serve
themselves.
To handle the culinary phase Of
such a tremendous gathering. IS
kitchens have been set up on the ex-
pansive jamboree grounds. From these
each Of 8l6 provisional Scout troops
carry steaming hot rations already
cooked for serving to their troop din
ing tents.
About As minutes before meal time
chefs begin putting the food in hot
stacks metal thermos cans contain
ing four compartments. The steward
in each kitchen supervises the FILL
ing OF the cans. Each one contains
enough food for single troop of IS
to As Scouts.
, AS these are filled Getail from each
troop picks up its rations and returns
to its own mess tent. The food Is put
IN the containers at temperature of
between $50 and 800 degrees, and by
the time the boys are ready to eat it
still retains temperature OF about
180 degrees.
Most Of Food Delivered Fresh.
Most Of the food is delivered fresh
each morning and is cooked in char
coal stoves. Beside each kitchen is
the quartermaster's tent from which
the Scouts get their bread. salt, etc.
They make their own salads.
And when the meal Is ended the
metal containers must be washed and
carried back to the kitchen, where
they are sterilized before the next
meal.
Paper plates and cups are used so
there's no dishwashing for the Scouts.
Scout executives said they are using
these to save IS much time As possible
for the many activities arranged for
the jamboree whirl.
