Ten An appeal to Kugene citizens to tdd the local Boy Scouts attending the firsc annual summer camp at Maple ton ou Kuowles creek July Kt to 27 is made by Kenneth C. Abies, Dr. D. C. Stanard, W. 1(. Robertson, Lelaud Johns. wi nnd C. It. Clark of the camp committee today. On account of failure to obtain the equipment needed for the camp the scouts are Hi-king for 'the loan of various camping utensils needed for the two-weeks jaunt. With the lim ited funds available the scout council is not able to purchase locally the material wanted, and are asking Ku gene people to help. Fight or 10 large camping tents, sufficient to care for four to six hoys each are the most immediate need. Tito seouts promise to take the best of care of all material loaned, and to pay for anything damaged. A trip was taken to the scene of the camp yesterday by the advance delegation, where water was piped from a nearby mountain stream. Those making the trip were Kester Smith and H. Pnterson, assistant scout masters in Kugene, nnd John Allen, Bradford Datson and Robert Allen scouts. They report every thing In readiness for the camp, and tho scouts making the trip will be. all set for (heir two weeks outing if Kugene people will respond with the loan of the following nrtieles. One bread honrd, 1 egg beater, i buckets, 1 rolling pin, I hatchet, 2, ladles, 1 meat pan. 2 wash tubs, 1 , wash board, N servinc nans. 1 flour i sieve. ,1 large hake pans, 2 five-gallon rooking pails, J four-gallon cooking In Peacetime Prepare for War hiring the summer months we want to keep busy if there is any possible chance.

Ten Important Stations . Only about 10 really Important sta tions exist in the world, nnd it is only within the past few years that the study of seismology has come to the fore, says Dr. I lodge.

A seismograph consists of an in strument built on a substantial steel frame, from which a weight of ap proximately a ton is suspended by a wire. To this weight are nttached writing instruments which make con tinuous marks on graphs propelled by clocks. When a shock is received, the weight remains .stationary, due to its inertia, while the apparatus is -moved hy the shock.
