With the slogan “Every Scout a Camper," camping among boy scouts Is becoming an all-year round feature. Scouta like everything about camp ing, from thumbing camp booklets to reading camp statistics, and following are some unique ones, compiled by a scout executive of Walla Walla, Wash ington : Two hundred thousand scouts at tended scout camps last year for one week or more. They traveled an av erage of 50 miles each. In going to and tram camp, or a total distance of 10,000,000 miles. At the u>v...g uU Ing pnee of three miles per hour,.it would take 380 years to cover thia dla- tance, which by the way, la about 400 times around tbe woild. In an auto mobile at tbe rate of 35 miles an hour and with no stops. It would take 33 years. Each boy scout. It haa been esti mated, generates at least one-quarter horsepower while taking bls morning calisthenics, which would give over 800,000 horsepower, enough to drive a heavy freight train over mountains. The flag la raised each morning and lowered each evening at camp. At the average speed of 60 feet per minute, 40 hours are consumed each day In this one Important part of camp life. Ten train loads of food are required to feed these scouts If they were all In one mess line this lliiu would be over 80 miles long. A scout in water can support about 125 pounds. If all these scout camp ers were brought together they could support 125 tons or the equivalent of a fair-sized ocean-going boat. The scouts consume over 50,000 gallons of water each day; or more than enough to float this boat. The boys consume approximately 12.500 steers and all the eggs 18,000 hens would lay In one year.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS “PORK-BAflREL" XX7HEN, In the midst of s ’ * congressional discussion npon some measure which en tails the expenditure of large sums of money In different psrta of the country—for example, the rivers and harbors bill—one member will denounce the bill as a “poorly disguised pork-bar rel", the meaning Is at once ap parent to anyone fatr'"ar with American parliamentary slang, for It has come to bo the accept ed equivalent of an attempt to secure public money for private or scml-prlvats purposes. A “pork-barrel" measure, there fore, Is one which would enrich certain districts at ths expense of the public treasury, either by providing for costly Improve ments or by spending money un necessarily. To find the genesis of the phrase we have to go back to the earlier days of the republic, when the majority of the citi zens were farmers who, during the winter, were forced to live on salt pork. • If their supply was adequate nn<l their barrels well filled, they said they had no need to worry about a long, bard winter—the pork-barrel would take care of them. In a similar, but more metaphorical sense, they now look to their congressmen to take care of them by securing at least a par tion of the “pork-barrel" legis lation. which will lead to protits ou labor, land and supplies. <© by Wh««l«r Syadlcala Ina.) ----------O--------- Struggled Hard for Life. Here is how one old foreign lady tn Milwaukee learned that scouts do a “Good Turn Dally." “Our team had a baseball game icheduled." says the doer of the Good Turn, a scout of Troop 11 of that city. ' “All members were told if they were late they would not be permitted to play. After hurrying through my paper route I was on my way to the game when an old lady who could not speak English asked me to take a long-dis tance call for her. Was 20 minutes | late to the game and could not play." GOVERNOR HINKLE SAYS: “It affords me great pleasure to most heartily Indorse the Boy Scouts of America and their splendid work In time of disasters, floods and fam ines. They have loyally and faithful ly responded to all emergency calls. •The scouts of today are the men who will govern our country tomor row, and a government led by men who have cherished and faithfully kept the oath of the scout Is safe guarded against the worst dangers and as a nation we cannot fall.”—J.
