washington, July B. Waterbury scouts attending the great National Jamboree are recalling the lines of Romeo today, where he remarked .. Parting Is such sweet sorrow"
 For the end of the JaIf1boree is near. And, on the other hand, some of the 61 local scouts, are recalling lots of unfinished business at the green-bcrdered lakes of Connecti- cut where vacation days are replete with attraction for growing lads.
 The boys and their 10 leaders from Mattatuck Council will see the start of general demobilization of the army of 27,000 scouts beginning tomorrow noon. Boys from the farther sections of the country will break camp at that time.
 Home Saturday
 But the Waterbury boys are not expected to leave Washington until Saturday morning and are due to arrive at Waterbury about 5 o'clock that afternoon abroad the special train which will carry the several thousand New England scouts k their home towns.
 Today, however, remains Q high mark in the converging of Arneri- ca's youth on the capital. For every scout at the Jamboree expects tc see the president.

Water was shut of during the re pairs from Exchange Place to Polls theater, and for the reason the work was necessarily started and conl- pleted after business hours.
 An official of the water depart ment explained that internal por- tions of the valve were partially broken, and that the repairs were made now so that they would not later interfere with the paving pro- ject for the. section.
 Illumination was by a huge spot light, and pumps were installed to-. remove water from the huge exca- vation during the change from ono valve to the new. The excavation was almost exactly in the center of Exchange Place.

Boy Scouts Preparing
 For Homeward Trip
Local Contingent Expected Here Saturday Afternoon;
 Expect to See President Roosevelt Today

terday when he made q visit to the section of camp where boys from his own Duchess County, N. Y, are situated, But today the scout army will line up in single file along Con- stitution avenue and the president will pass between their ranks.
 First Visit
 Fifty of the boys of the Water bury contingent never had been to Washington. It is estimated that about the same number have seen the president. And President Roose- welt is dear to all scouts not only as honorary head of their orgar4- zation but because 1t was he who suggested to scout officials that the Jamboree be held at Washington.
 In this age of shortened dis tances" when the automobile can cover state or two in a single day 1t doesn't seem 50 much of an ufl- dertaking to assemble nearly 27,000 boys at the nations capital. But the task has been considerable and has required orderly management to avoid traffic slips and delays; to keep the boys healthy and safe; tc handle the legion of detail which the program of sightseeing and as- semblieS his involved.
