Tidal Basin, near the foot Of Seven

stringent regulations Each section
is equipped with two fire extinguishers
and water barrels are placed within
easy reach Of every tent. The alarm
system is the telephone, and operators
have orders to clear the wires Of
everything else In case OF fire or other
emergency.
In the fire company the men have
been studying the layout Of the camp
for weeks. They know the loca ton
Of every section and have paid special
attention to kitchens and other places
where fire possibly might occur.
The moment Engine Company No.
81 moves out Of its tent responding to
an alarm another company from the
city will move into its place, SO that
at no time during the entire jamboree
will any part of the encampment be
without protection.
The sections of the camp over on
Columbia Island and in Virginia. near
the entrance to Arlington Memorial
Cemetery. in addition to being pro-
tected by the Scout fire company, have
been given further insurance against
fire by the Fairfax County Fire De-
partment, which has placed itself on
call for use over there.

betical order and gives the location
OF each OF the $4,000 Scouts and

Pay Stations Set Up.
Telephone lines have been strung
along Columbia Island, across the Po-

as I understand the fare is very
cheap"
Still another Scout wired to Tex
arkana, saying: Telegraph $40 stop

The trading craze which has swept
the camp is fast becoming universal.
Many boys are wiring, writing and
telephoning the folks back home for

natural history and are rare in other
sections Of the country.

LOST COAT SOUGHT
BY TEXAS SCOUTS
Prize Winner CheWs Rope
and Strays From Hains
Point Camp.

Some one with divining powers
might make fortune at the Scout
Jamboree encampment. The Texas
delegation, for instance, would part
with at least couple of horned
toads if some one would come through
with one good suggestion as to how to
find lost goat.
Troop 155 of Kerrville, Tex. ar
rived last Saturday with an Angora
representative of the species, with the
idea of presenting it to President
Roosevelt
All went we'll for one day only. On
Sunday night the boys Of the troop
retired to their Hains Point camp,
with the goat tied outside. In the
morning they found only piece of
chewed rope where the goat had once
stood.
Goat Was Prize Winner.
The animal belonged to Garland
Lang Of the troop, senior patrol leader
of Jamboree Troop No. !. The goat,
measuring some 18 inches high in
its stocking feet, was a prize winner
in several shows in the Western State.
The boys know the bearded tin-can
eater is somewhere in the general
vicinity of the Nations Capital, but
they've had no luck in their intensive
search.
It might turn up later through the
well-organized lost and found system
which the Scout executives have set
up.
Lost-F0und Unit Created.
Each of the 2O-section service troop
Scoutmasters has established . lost
and found department. The whole
system is under the direction of M.
G. Clark, chief OF service troops, and
George Jacobs, aide for the patrol
section, who has charge Of the GEN.
trsl lost and found tent, located d.
rectly behind the physical arrange
ments tent.
Each division will keep track of the
articles. animals or persons found
and the name Of the finder. II not
claimed after "a hours the article
will be sent to the central lost and
,1ound department. At the end of
the Today jamboree the article will
be returned to the finder If the loser
doesn't shoprup.
SO far two billfolds, one contain
Ing $3.50, have been turned over to
Clark. Also awaiting claimants are
several pairs Of glasses, a suit case
