Mr. Thompson's- Letter. His letter, dated Tort William" McKrn-ey, reads:" 'My Dear Mr. "Your letter of recent date Is at hand; sjid I was Indeed glad to hear from When Major Lynch arrives here In December he will see one of the bes't Boy Spout organisations in the world. Since writing you last the organization has ftade a ratlM elimh nnrl tnriav th.M ne, troops of Filipino Boy Scouts In I rtfuacnutnj au uie uisincts oil Thb CltV- A fnrtnlp-hf nrn hm n-nm wr one troop of American boys and my yup ui ien native Doys.

Une' movers of this sudden ntburet of scouting activities are An- ptgnio Torres, Domingo Ponce, and Iranclsco Varona. They are now cn-feged, in drawing up the code and by-tews of the organization. The value i off 'activity, cleanliness, courtesy, de- Jse of the weak, the love of union. liberty, and Justice are to be impressed upon the youngsters in the national code now in course of prepara- tlon. 'A natty uniform for the scouts has oeen decided upon by the organisation, and will soon be ready for dis- tribution among the members.

Show Mettle At Tire. The Filipino Boy Scouts made their i debut and showed their mettle, at a small fire which broke" out last Saturday evening on Dorado, Qoiapo. With enthusiasm, alacrity, and energy worthy of their more experienced brethren of other countries, the youngsters organized a bucket brigade and succeeded in extinguishing. flames before the arrival of the Are department. "When this new organization was.

launched, I turned my troop of ten Boys over to a young Filipino, who is now a scoutmaster of no mean ability. I did It because I thought he was more capa- ble -of teaching the boys in the native tongue than 1. I only speak Tagalog Spanish In a limited way. Of I course, all my boys understood the English language well, and this made my work less difficult. "The characteristics of the Filipino are many, the most striking one is his superstition.

When they sleep at night they- close up their bamboo shacks tightly, because they believe that when they arc asleep the soul leaves the body and goes on a long journey, and if they are awakened too suddenly the soul might not have time to return. Game Cocks and Cigarettes. "The native is also addicted to gambling, cock fights being the main game. A man Is not considered a gentleman unless he owns two or three fighting cocks. Everybody, from the.

baby uP, is addicted to the use of cigarettes, arid this is one cause of so much weakness among the people. These cigarettes are not made Uke the American cigarettes, but are only native tobacco rolled In paper. They can bo bought thirty for a doby nlchle, of 2 cents gold. It is not an uncommon, sight see a whole family out for their evening walk, all puffing on cigarettes. "The native, as a rule, is very sociable- and never turns any one from his door, he rich or poor, but takes him In'and'gives him the best he has, which, in some instances.

Is not very much. Perhaps a fish and a plate of rice make up the bill of fare. He will never-let you leave without the offer of a cigarette, and it is a great breach of etiquette not to accept it. "I will tell you more when I write again. With greetings to all the scouts In America, I remain, Yours 'In preparedness." "MARK THOMPSON.

S. Army Will Have Charge of Instruction of Amateurs. The Boy Scout Signal Corps is to be the next thing in Washington.

In charge of one of the experts of the United States Army Signal Corps, drilled every week and understanding both" the practical aijd theoretical. slde of radio telegraphy, as the army, of flclals prefer to call wireless-. telegraphy, this corps of Scouts bids fair to become the pride of Washington Scoits generally and a credit to the entire Scout movement. The credit for this "Innovation, be-lonirs to Scoutmaster Irvine Q. Priest.

1 of Troop No. 8, who this week laid his plans before Commissioner Martin, who approved them most enthusiastically. The corps is to be in charge of G. II. Lewis, radio associate of the United States Army Signal Corps, whose office Is at the Bureau of Standards.

Mr. Lewis has agreed to give the Scout corps instruction In the principles, construction, and use of wireless Instruments, as well as flag signaling, and will organize and train them in the same way that the Army men are trained. Major Russell, in command of the army corps, in a recent letter to Scoutmaster Priest, said that he had taken up the matter with Mr. Lewis, and had given him full permission to devote what time was necessary to the work of training the boys and would allow hi mcyery possible privilege in the pur suance of this oDject, jtuiiz ui vtiia Any first or second class, scout whose troop Is under the jurisdiction of the Washington council may join the cotps. No tenderfoot pcout will be admitted.

Lhov.eer, because the corps wants to have a high average ot ernciency. ana any boy with ambition enough to be a credit to the signal corps will have little trouble In getting into tne second class. It is planned to hae the class meet fop practice and instruction once a week, but -no meeting place has yet been fixed upon. As soon as this is done, Mr. Priest expects to issue the first call for those who want to join the signal corps and the organization will take place at once.

FIRST ISS IE NEXT SATURDAY Scouts, Bring Father, Mother, or Other Relatives, If They Would Like to Take Jaunt. Line up. Scouts, for the first mass hike. Bring father, mother, sister, and big if they think they would relish a little jaunt of kIx miles, for. In addition to every scoutmaster and every Boy Scout In Washington, this tilp is open to every loer of "the open road." The start will be made Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock sharp from th end of the Plny Brnnch car line, at Fourteenth street and Colorado avenue Scoutmaster Henry I.

Bowles will lead the hike, and he asks that every Scout and scoutmaster report in uniform It is also Important to be on time, as stragglers will have a hard time overtaking the main partv The hikers will follow Colorado avenue to Plney Branch road, then out to Georgia avenue, which will be followed to Kalmla street The route will He west in Kalmla street to the drive through Bock Creek Park. The drive will be followed to a point west of where lOnnedy street enters the park, and the last lap will be along Kennedy street to the starting point. A stop will be made in the north end of Hock Park to allow the nineteen boys taking their firpt class examinations to take their cooking tests. This will add a touch of genuine camp-craft to the occasion, and will be most interesting to the non-scouts who are along. The trip will require about three hours possibly a little longer on account of tho cooking The route dops not cover more than six miles.

It re-nuircs about forty-five mlnutnj for th Piney Branch cars to reach the end of the line from the Treasury. Frank Watson) Allen R. Whittington, Graeme T.

A combined camp, or rather adjoining camps with Washington Boy Scouts in one and Baltimore Scouts in thch other Is a probability for Camp Archibald Butt next summer. If this plan matures the llfty-slx-acrc tract on Chesapeake Beach. Just purchased this week, Mil be the busiest p'lace in Maryland from June till October, and will be one of the most complete Boy Scout camps In Oils country. There were 2o0 Washington boys in Camp Archibald Butt at one time or aripther this year, and about 350 Baltimore Scouts in their camp on the Miles rivor. If the two, camps are combined next year there may be as many as 75-1 scouts there during the course of tho summer.

Scout Commissioner K. S. Martin was in Baltimore last Thursday, and conferred with Commissioner Illy of that city, and' the five members of the executive committee regarding the matter. This week the committee intends to visit Washington, and the deal will probably be closed. As the Washington local council mm i cwns tne camp site, tho B.iltlmor -ns Co not expect to hae tho ii of th-1 grounds for nothing, but will flthe i.iv iumis lor noining, oui win riuio a certain amount lor tno ims or 1 1-' camp grounnx or pine agree to inaii some permanent Improvement in tho site.

Merit Boys Asked To Remain Patient Commissioner E. S.

Martin has asked that the boys who have merit badge applications on file be patient until the faculty for giving these tests is properly organized, which will not be later than the middle of December. It Is no small task to get this faculty organized and the work standardized. Many of the Government experts who will give the testa need to familiarize themselves with Scout work before holding examinations, and this necessarily causes some delay at first. Everything possible will be done to expedite matters. Photo by Buck.
