TWO GYMNASIUMS
WELL ATTENDED
Tamp Curtin Junior High Is
Opened as Community
Center
Both gymnasiums of Camp Cur
tin Junior High school were crowd
ed to the doors in their tirst use as
a community center last night. The
occasion was a volleyball game be
tween teams from the Kiwanis and
Rotary Clubs, and a second game
between 88-5 and 88-4 teams.
The student teams were: Sec
tion 88-5 —Alma Miller, Lillian Fos
ter, Helen Ilippensteel, Dorothea |
Wallace, Sarah Wolfe, Ksther Mur- j
lutt; substitutes, Mary Oclienrider
and Gladys Fox.
Section 88-4 —Martha Dchart,
Frances Seihert, Mary Harris, Bea
trice Hunter, Helen Constantine;
substitutes, Margaret Keller and
Miller.
Dr. F. K. Downes, City Superin
tendent of Schools, made a short
talk. He emphasized the use of
the schools by the public at all
times. He enumerated the duties
of Clarence Zorger, city supervisor
of special activities, and in charge
of the organization and supervision
of adult night school classes.
Mr. Zorger requested adults pres
ent to sign for membership in any
one of a score of activities. Organi

ing. December S.
Mrs. William Jennings spoke in
behalf of the Red Cross. Robert

board, welcomed the Camp Curtin
patrons to the new building. Com
munity singing, under the direction
of Mr. Harclerode, with Miss Mil
dred Conkling at the piano, and mo
tion pictures were other features of
the varied program.
Troop 16
Last Friday 17 Scouts and 13 Cubs
heard Dr. Pager's talk on the "League
of Courtesy," and I am sure they left
the room better for having heard it.
Assuming that all Scouts are cour
teous in their own homes. Dr. Fager
spoke of tile r.eed of being courteous
to strangers and those with whom
we associate during the hours we
spend away from home. We are put
ting-the doctor's suggestions into
practice. One rather amusing
thoughtful act on the part of one of
our Scouts has been reported. This
Scout carried papers, and early this
week he saw a baby throw its bottle
out of the carriage. He picked it up
and gave it to the baby's mother.
Then one of the wheels of the carri
age came off. To get it he had to
put down his papers, but he did so,
and put the wheel back in place, and
the lady walked off without a word
ol" appreciation. Then the Scout pick
ed up his papers which had blown
o\er the street and went on his way.
Don't let a little thing like that dis
courage you. What if people don't ap
preciate your thoughtfulness. You
have the joy of being of service. Let's
have your lists. The prize is worth
while, and the addition to your char
acter is what really counts.
Last night some of our fellows
were on duty ot the Doughboy and
Gob night at Chestnut Street Hall.
To-night we meet at 7 promptly
and to to the rally at Zion Lutheran,
Scouts Markley, Cleon Criswell, and
Fcose will represent Sixteen.

Scientific Discussions
by Garrett P. Serviss
Many would-be inventors, not all
young, come to me for things that
I cannot give them. These are not,
in most cases, the things that they
actually ask for, but simply the
things that they are really after.
Two of the most important of them
are money, and assistance in invent
ing. While 1 cannot give these I
can give what I think may be use
ful—some commonplace advice
about things that the young inven
tor ought to avoid.
First, don't risk somebody to fur
nish you with money to enable you
to perfect your invention; for no
body will do it. You cannot ex
pect any pecuniary assistance as
long as the invention is not com
pleted, and when you have com
pleted, it, or think you have, no
body is likely to bear for you the
expense of proving that it will work.
These are things that the Inventor
must count upon taking on his own
shoulders. They may constitute a
hardship sometimes, but that hard
ship is a part of the price of suc
cess.
Second, don't try to get some
body to blow a horn for you. to at
tract the attention of the public.
Such advertisement would do you
no good if you could get it. The
public is only Interested in what
already succeeds, and the rich in
vestors at whom you are really aim
ing in your attempt at publicity, will
shy like experienced trout at your
lure. If your invention works, and
if it meets a need, it will blow its
own horn. The regular methods of
publicity are the only ones worth
while-
Third, don't expect somebody
else to get you out of your difficul
ties. The most altruistic person in
the world will not take a great deal
of interest in hglping another man
to invent a new thing, and experi
ence shows that partnership in in
vention is the poorest kind of part
nership.
Fourth, don't think that you have
made an invention because a plan
of it on paper looks as though it
ought to work. The machine is the
thing, and the only thing. Yet, !•
have known persons who spent a
great deal of time and effort seek
ing for money to push a supposed
invention which they had not carried
beyond the paper stage. Inventors
of "perpetual motion" machines, ac-
cordingr to my observation, usually
stop with a "demonstration" on pa
per, which perhaps is us well since
thus they are enabled to victimize
themselves at the cheapest rate.
Fifth, don't try to make inven
tions beyond your depth. Such fun
damental things as the discovery—if
it ever comes—of a way to utilize

intra-atomic energy will be the re
sult only of deep scientific knowl
edge and research. Look at the type
of men who have made the really
great discoveries and inventions of
our wonderful age. Every one of
them Is a man of profound intel
lectual power. People are often mis
led on this subject by the statenjent
that Edison is not academically a
scientist. The fact is that although
he obtained his scientific education
outside the walls of the universities
mid in his own independent way his
mind is one of the greatest store
houses of scientific knowledge nnd
scientific power now on the earth.
The reason why lie succeeded
where even great scientific authori
ties predicted failure is plainly in
dicated in the fact mentioned by
his biographers, Messrs. Dyer and
Martin, that the first thing he did
when he got rid of the necessity
ol Fitting'from place to place as a
telegraph operator was to establish
a laboratory in which to carry on
researches in a more methodical
manner.
Mr. Edison represents the best
type cf "scientific research" about
which we hear so much In the uni
versities, and because of that when
we went into the great war the
image of Edison rose ominously to
the mind's eye of the enemy behind
the thieatening figure of Uncle Sam.
