and took up his studies at Allegheny
College, Meadville, Pa. Siple man
aged to shorten the usual four-year
college course, and graduated in 1882
shortly before receiving call to join
Byrds second expedition.
On this trip there was no question
of Siple's usefulness. He was Z vet
eran who had proved himself. For
II days he was In charge of q ma jor
field party which collected scientific
data in unexplored regions several
hundreds Of miles from the base camp.
The party Travelled by ski and dog
sled.
Under the most trying conditions,
the party mapped the country, col
lected geological data. gathered plant
specimens and visited unexplored
rookeries Of snowy petrels and skua
gulls.
Statistics Being Used.
One Of the most important phases
Of the work was the collection of
statistics on land measurements with
which to check and supplement pho
tographic maps made from the air.
incidentally. these statistics are stil
being used by q naval expert, Comdr
Harold Saunders. in piecing together
maps Of the areas explored by Byrd's
men.
Comdr. Saunders is putting in
much of his spare time at the Me-
tional Geographic Society. checking
the aerial photographs with the land
measurements. Errors caused by va
rious camera angles and light refiec-
tions thus can be corrected.
Siple plans to visit Comdr. Saun-
ders while in Washington to discuss
the mapping work. He is intensely
interested in the subject, which is in
line with the postgraduate work Siple
now is doing at Clark University,
Worcester, Mass.
Siple expects to receive his Phi. d
in geography next June.
"At least, that's what I hope
grinned Siple, but I'll have to hustle
to make 1t. Geography as now taught
in the colleges Is broad subject which
takes in about all the sciences touch
ing on human environment"
But his listeners had q feeling that
Siple, who has learned to be q good
Scout, will make 1t In the brief time
he has set for himself.

in walking 5000 miles here.
A bright splash of color amid the
drab khaki background Is the Rich
mond, Va, group. On the tops Of
four Of their tents, scenes depicting
the history OF Virginia have been
painted in oil. In red, blue, yellow,
green and other colors, the pictures
include the famous John Smith-Poca-
hontas scene, beautiful view Of
Mount Vernon and the massacre at
jamestown. The reason for these
pictures? Just to be different.
Distancing the Venezuelans and
even Villacorta, who flew here from
Manila, are F. J. Burborough and
Eric J. Saunders, Scouts from New
Zealand. Speaking with "the" Brit
ish accent, they had listeners hang
ing on every word. The two boys
were not picked to represent New Zea-
land Scouts, $4,000 strong, but "just
decided to come" They will continue
to the World Jamboree. Burborough
estimated it would cost them several
thousand dollars for both events.
For his tent mate, one Scout from
Pennsylvania brought with him a
beagle pup. Its not named yet,
though they have been calling it
TarZan.
Several Scouts from Puerto Rico
were mildly astonished as the sun
broke through this morning. They
were just commenting on the fact
that they had not seen it since they
had come to the jamboree, when it
topped the clouds for the first time.
A boy from the Bahamas seemed
the most friendly. He discussed
Scouting in the islands, sports, his
visits to places of interest in Wash
lngton and his trading efforts in
nearly perfect English. Practically
all these visitors are accomplished
speakers.
Its amazing" said one official,
the way these foreign Scouts speak
English. This Lithuanian boy speaks
in a slightly garbled way, it's true,
but still very interestingly"

BYRD AIDE FOUND
CAREER AS SCOUT
Paul SipIe Went to Little
America With First Ex.
pedition at 19.

Being a good Scout put Paul Siple
on the track Of a geographical career
that began with two polar explora-
tions.
Siple, who arrived here yesterday to
serve on the general staff OF the JAM
boree, laid the foundation for his ife's
work when he began as small boy
to study all phases of Scouting.
This knowledge in 1928 won him a
place on Rear Admiral Byrd's first
expedition to the Antarctic. Siple.
then 10. was called from his home in
Erie, Pa, to join the men setting
sail for Little America.
Siple was supposed to return to New
Zealand after Byrd's ship landed the
explorers at Little America. At least
that was the general idea, but it
worked out differently. Siple began
to demonstrate his adaptability at
once
Cared for Penguins.
He organized a sled dog team, and
took charge Of the care and feeding
of the big penguins which the ex-
plorers brought into camp. When
Byrds ship was ready to sail for New
Zealand, it was found Siple had won
place with the men who were to
remain through the long polar Win
