SCOUTS TEACH FRESH-AIR LADS Instruct Boys at Linglestown Camp in Signalling and Other Subjects Troop 4 held an open air Ice cream festival on Monday and Tuesday eve nines at Seventeenth and Briggs streets. The Tuesday night affair was Impromptu and was held to al low ticket holders, who had been de terred by the rain on Monday, a chance to get their money's worth. In spite of the rain the boys sold twenty gallons of ice cream the first night to an attendance of 200 people and on Tuesday night disposed of fourteen gallons, making a total of thirty-four gallons. Two hundred and thirty-four tick ets were sold by the boys and the proceeds go into a permanent carnii fund to help in enjoying outings and trips, such as Troop 4 recently en joyed at Laurel Dam. A feature of the festival was bu gling of Scout Feltus, who sounded all the calls used in camping and field expeditions. Troop 4 wishes to express its grat itude to Messrs. Newbold and Mc- Dowell for kindly allowing the use of their commodious ponhes during the worst of the rainstorm, and to J. E. Dare for loaning the vacant lot. An item which should be of interest to other troops is that Scouts Kluch and Holsopple are now assisting in the fresh air camp at Linglestown and in addition to hoeing potatoes are teaching the boys of the camp signal ling and other scout subjects. Scoutmaster McAllister is going to Middletown on Sunday evening, where he will occupy the pulpit of the Ann Street M. E.

TO HOLD CAMP AT AQUEDUCT Honor Roll of Troop 6 Is In centive to Scout; Make Unique Hike The last two weeks of August have been decided upon as the time for the camp of Troop 6 of Olivet Pres byterian Chufch, V. L. Huntsberger, scoutmaster, at Aqueduct. Scout William Diener, winner of a war service medal for his work in the Liberty Bond campaign has add ed more laurels to his account by winning the Swastika badge for camp craft at the State Y. M. C. A. camp at Inglenook. Good work, "Bill." After scout meeting on Wednes day evening the scouts formed a bucket brigade and emptied the boil er room of the church, which had been flooded by recent rains. Scout Executive Stine was a vis itor on Wednesday evening. Come again Mr. Stine, we are glad to have you. Has Honor Roll Every week an Honor Roll is an nounced in the troop and a copy of the roll posted on the bulletin in the scout room of the church. To qualify for the honor roll a scout must perform some extraordinary good turn, render a distinct scout service to his patrol or troop or prove excellence in some form of scout craft. The following is the roll for the week ending Wednesday, July 18: Harry Carson, Eagle Patrol William Diener, Wolf Patrol Bert Matson, Wolf Patrol Bayard Bowers, Silver Fox Patrol Charles Peters, Silver Fox Patrol Charles Cox, Tiger Patrol Ralph Undercoffer, Tiger Patrol Scouts Report on Hike Persons acquainted with scout work khow that one of the require ments for first class scout rank is a fourteen-mile hike alone or with one other scout and a written report of the same. Following is a report of a hike by two members of Troop 6. This is perhaps not an out of the ordinary report but it tends to give an idea of one side of scout life. "On the morning of June 21, at 5.30, Scout Bufflngton, (Standing Elk) and myself started for Good Hope. It was very foggy, so foggy that we could not see from one river I.ridge to the other. We reached the Cumberland county shore at 6 o'clock. By this time the sun had cleared the fog away. "At 6.30 we were in Camp Hill and at 7.30 reached the Conodo guinet Creek. By this time we had seen several fish hawks, woodpeck ers. blue Jays, quail, martins, cat birds and a strange bird which we could not name. It was a clay color ed bird and was one that was not familiar to us. "We reached Good Hope at 8.05. HARRISBITRG ifiMl TELEGRAPH Here we filled our canteen with water and started to retrace our steps looking for a place to camp. We found a good spot about a mile from the spring. We took off our sacks and started to dig bait to fish. After we had several worms we took off our puttees, shoes and stockings, rolled up our trousers and waded out far enough to be clear of the water cress and threw out our lines. "After fishing for an hour and get ting only a few nibbles, we decided to quit. We built a fire place and began to prepare dinner. Standing Elk prepared twisted bread over the fire and cooked shoulder and eggs on a flat stone passing his first class requirement of cooking without reg ular cooking utensils. "After dinner we rested until 1 o'clock and then started for home. On our way we helped ourselves at four cherry trees and several springs. Standing Elk found a tur tle. We stopped three times to rest as the sun was high in the heavens and it was in the heat of the day. Crossing the Susquehanna river bridge we met Scouts Boward, Leeds and Snavely, who were going to take a shower bath after a swim. They asked us to go along but we kept on our way home. "I arrived home at 2.45, very tired but after a warm bath I was ready for another fourteen miles. Chief Metacomet, Eagleetaoin nn Chief Metacomet,- Eagle Patrol Leader.

"Every Scout to Feed a Soldier" Producing Results That Boy Scouts in the vi cinity of Hurrisburg arc actively engaged in helping farmers to raise more abundant crops is at tested by Scout Amos Nye, of Nye, of Troop 6, who says that while on a recent bicycle trip he saw four scouts in a field near Camp Hill. Tliey had their coats on the fence and were hard at work operating a cultivator for the farmer. The identity of the four s<-otits are not known but the in stance proves that Boy Scouts here arc working hard to back up the National Scout slogan: "Every Scout to Feed a Soldier." A. F. STAHL DIES * New Cumberland, Pa., July 20. A. F. Stahl, aged 79 years, died early this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Emma Cookerly, in Geary street. Until about a year and a half ago My.

A new American submarine chaser, more of which are being: built under the supervision of J. J.

She will fight the submarine with Its own weapon. The torpedo may be launched as quickly as a gun may be fired. . GOVERNOR VETOES MANY HOUSE BILLS Measures of Minor Import ancc Knocked Out by Execu- ; tive Disapproval Governor Brumbaugh to-day ve toed more than a dozen House bills, 1 including the measure to empower commissioners of first class town ships to regulate the keeping of hogs in their limits, the Governor saying that the Department of Health has all the power necessary to protect public health. He also criticises the way the bill was amended in the Legislature. In vetoing a bill rela tive to sidewalks in similar town ships, the Governor says that the proponent of the bill was "evidently not in touch with" provisions of an other bill. "Otherwise," says the Governor, "I cannot conceive how he could vote for the township code repealing the act ho seeks to amend and at the same time vote for this bill." Another bill relative to town ship streets was vetoed because the code covers the point. The bill regulating retirement of State employes is styled "a good ex ample of piecemeal legislation "and an example of the hopelessness of j i present legislative procedure." Other bills vetoed were: Providing for semimonthly pay to employes of school districts in Phila- I delphia, on which the Governor says demand for the legislation is con fined to a few clerks and objects to the classification as conflicting with the code. Including in the Philadelphia pen sion fund all employes whether paid out of city or private funds, which the Governor says conforms In many respects to a bill approved May 17. He adds that Philadelphia city au thorities and officials of the Phila delphia pension association are op- ' posed to the bill and says that until j a new pension with reference to old age is evolved it would be unwise to load down special funds. Amending parcyle act so that sen tences shall not exceed one-third of the maximum sentence, on which the Govsrnor says the bill covers too wide a range. Making it discretionary with the Banking Commissioner to institute suit when embezzlement takes place. The present law makes it manda tory. "It is difficult to conceive the motive of such a bill as this," says the Governor. Providing that when the charter of a borough is annulled the terri tory shall revert to the township. "Where else does such , territory fall?" asks the Governor, who adds "This bill is wholly unnecessary." Providing for entering upon rec ords of prothonotaries benefits as sessed for street opening. The Gov ernor says the bill was apparently FRIDAY EVENING, drawn without reference to third- i class city laws. i Amend School Code Amending school code to permit division of work on schools into small units, which the Governor de- ■ Clares "is not a wise change." i Amending school code by provid ing for election of directors in in depnedont school districts instead of court appointments. The Governor ' says an independent district is an anomaly and there is no machinery < for such an election. Authorizing certain people to sue the State. The Governor says it au thorizes eight people to sue for two separate accidents and calls the bill "a sort of House that Jack built" and "a cumulative offense against the constitution." Amending school code relative to I retirement funds, which the Gover nor says is covered by a bill recent ly approved. Allowing abandoned State high ways to be vacated as county roads on which the Governor says there has been too much shifting of re sponsibility on roads already. He says that the bill was caused by a Somerset situation and adds, "Since at last this restless situation has been stilled and this ghost is laid it is wise to let it so remain." NO "SLINKERS" - 1N WAITING CROWD (Continued From First Page) Told His Mother I One boy called his mother on the I telephone. "They drew my number, mother," he said. "Did they " said the mother. "Did they—dear?" The boy choked a bit at that. His mother's usual way of addressing him was simply "Bob." But neither this lad nor his moth er showed any hysteria. Swamped With Calls The TELEGRAPH was wamped with telephone calls all day. "Can you give me the draft num bers?" asked scores of folks. | This, of course, was impossible. "My number is so-and-so," said' | others. "Was I drawn?" Young Wives Silent i It was noticeable that many young! ( men in the crowds around bulletin- , boards had their wives with them. These young wives were more quiet i, by far than their husbands. A youns| man, married within the last three!, months, stood with his wife for an < hour in front of one board. Neither of them spoke. The light-haired!, wife held her husband's arm andj strained her eyes at the board. Fi-| nally, convinced that fate was with i, them, the two moved away. Then a , new series began. "They got me," said the husband. , "I'm called in the first lot." To-morrow Another Day "Well," said the girl-wife, "to morrow is another day; let's go to lunch." • One boy heard the announcer say his number. "Good!" he said, "I'm going!" "That was a mistake," called the announcer, • giving the corrected number. "Good night!" said the boy. Not "Too Bad" "Two of my boys are called early," one mother told a friend this after noon. O," said the friend, "isn't that too bad." "No," said the. mother, "it isn't too bad. Their uncle was at Get tysburg, their grandfather died in old Mexico. Their father was ready to enlist in '9B had he been needed. Someone must fight; and if my two boys are neede I'll say goodbye to them with a smile; and they won't know what is in my heart." No Slinkers Here In the hot, hot sun men stood all day long watching the numbers on the boards. Fathers watched for their sons' numbers; boys watched and waited for their brothers' num bers; lads waited for their own num bers. And no man railed against fate. "It's a fair and square," was the concensus of opinion. "I'll go, but I want to know that there are going with me the men who have as much at stake as I have." ' There are no slackers nor slinkers among the thousands drawn to-day in Harrisburg and Dauphin county. As men grow old they believe in fate.
