Three local members of the McHenry troo|> of .the Boy, Scouts are eagerly awaiting the date when they will leave for the big, national Jamboree j at Washington D. C., the first group of boys ever to be invited to encamp in the heart of the nation's capital. No such Scout gathering has ever . before been held on American goi^ | and' for the first time Scouts will,assemble from every state and territory that flies the American flag: > his will be a great adventure for local Scouts as they join with 30,000 other Scouts in the crowning celebratioii -of the silver anniversary of Scouting. ' -:1 The three local Scouts who will make the trip this month ^ Washington are Harold Taxman-, Bruce Klontz ana Jack He§s. Others who will make a total of eleven who will go from the county are: Robert J. Bartlet, Huntley; John Piitta, Fox River Grove; Hugh Marshall and James Lake, Harvard; Wesley Boling and Herbert Otto, Woodstock; Robert T. Usborne and Vance Oliver Wilson, Marengo. These boys were chosen by their local troop councils for outstanding character qualifications, and tested experience in camping and other features of the Scout program. The boys will go to Chicago on Monday, August 19, where they will board th,e jamboree special at 8 p. m., according to a tentative schedule. Early in the morning |he train will pass through Akron, Ohio, claimed to be the largest rubber manufacturing city in the world, where the Goodyear Goodrich and other rubber products are manufactured, and then through ^ oungstown where modern industry, by combining coal and iron, has made it the second largest steel manufacturing city in the United States. Then comes Pittsburg, Pa., at the junction of the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers, forming th^" Ohio river, a modern city built upon the bedrock prosperity of iron and steel, founded by ! George Washington in 1753, captured by the French and named Fort Duquesne, re-captured and named Fort Pitt, after the famous statesman, and then later Pittsburg. j Will See Blue Ridge Mountains Eastward from Pittsburg the train will travel over a part of the Allegheny and Blue Ridge chain of mountains where several hundred miles of beautiful mountain scenery will be enjoyed, then through the valley of the Potomac river to Harper's Ferry, W. Va.( where the train, will stop at 1 p. m, for sight seeing purposes. Harper's Ferry is historic as the scene of John Brown's raid; the first conflict of the Civil War. Arrangements have been made with Professor McDonald, president of Storer college, to meet the Scouts on their arrival and give a short talk concerning the history of Harper's Ferry after which a short sight seeing trip will be made to Jefferson Rock and other points of interest. The train will arrive in Washington D. C., on Tuesday, Aug. 20, at 3 p. m., where Scouts and their equipment will be transported direct to the camp to which they are assigned upon arrival. J Return Home September 1 The boys will return home September 1, in-time for Labor Day and th« beginning of school. While the local troop committee will meet a part of the accessary expenses, it is expected that parents of the local boys will assist in defraying expenses, thus making it possible for »11 • three boys to f0, The first day of the jamboree Will be featured by a review of the Scouts by President Roosevelt, who is honorary president of the organization. The Scouts will, be rfned up in columns of eight on each side of Constitution avenue while the chief exe% utive passes through. It is expected that the President will be accompanied by members of the cabinet and the diplomatic corps. The President and"Tils"jflMty^^~willleave the eapitol and drive through the entire line of Scouts to the White House. After a brief time during which the Scouts will march to the K i i ipse, the President will again appear and give the Scouts his formal eeting and welcome to th« capital. ' French Horn Once Banned in Some Musical Circle* The French horn is one of the most valuable and difficult wind instruments In the orchestra. It has a slender conical tube wound round in coils upon itself, and consists of four principal parts--the body, the crooks^the mouthpiece and the slides. The body is the main tube, the crooks are interchangeable spiral tubes of varying length which alter the pitch and key of the Instrument; the mouthpiece is different from other wind instruments in that it Is funnel- shaped and not cup-shaped. 1 The slides are pairs of sliding tubes by means of which the Instrument may? be tuned. . The horn is also equipped with three valves to be operated by the player In producing the various tones In the Scale. The tone of "the horn' is mellow, rich apd sonorous and is distinguished at the same time by a certain human quality which is vastly different from all the- other members of the brass section. .'; The origin of the horn must be sought in prehistoric times, when, says, an authority in the Washington Post, by breaking off the tip of a short «nlmal ;horn, one or at best two notes were obtained. This was undoubtedly' the origin of the horg that was de^ veleped later and used in the sym- 'Ph^ny orchestra; It seems strange to think the horn was opposed at first, for now it is heard in nearly every orchestral piece. Yet when it first entered the orchestra it was considered coarse and, unfit to mingle with the more delicate violins and oboes. CAP AND BELLS c FOR THE MOMENT 4l vast cloud of smoke and big tongues of flame began to issue from the windows of a house. A man ran over to It and pressed the electric bell.

Countless Chinese coolies, barefooted, sport abbreviated black shorts for their complete costume. Tall, powerful, brown Sikhs from the hills of India parade in long shirts worn outside of a voluminous pair of white pants; their long hair bound by a turban which hangs well below the shoulder. Thousands of coal black, painfully thin Tamils from south India are a marked contrast to the northern Indians as they wander about in brightly tinted loin-cloths. The "forgotten men" of Malaya, the native Malays themselves, outnumbered by their yellow and black brothers from China and India, lodge fhelr Mohammedan caps squarely on their brown heads and wend their way unconcerned with the drama of a fast moving age. Egyptians, Arabs, Filipinos, Siamese, Japanese, Javanese, Burmese--all mingle in this truly international city. ' losing It« Rattle Contrary to the popular belief, you cannot always tefll, a rattlesnake's age by the number of joints on its rattle. This reptile is born with nothing-more than & horny nob at the end of its tail, but after three days it sheds its skin and a Joint Is added to the nob. The ^skin-shedding process Is repeated several times a year, and with each succeeding molt another bony ring is added. Until It has accumulated four or five joints the rattlesnake cannot make more than a faint rustling sound, but as the number of Joints increases It is able to express annoyance by rapidly vibrating its tail, producing a shrill "rattle" which may be heard 20 yards away. When the number of joints- exceeds seven, they generally begin to break off, so that when an elderly rattlesnake loses its temper it also loses part of Its rattle;--Tit-Bits Magazine.

It was natural, therefore, that the aboriginal' American should be made the symbol or emblem of tobacco, and the wooden Indian was, until recent years, used as such in front of places where cigars and tobacco were sold. HOWELL'S VILLA Rita Kelly ["he drowzy "dog days" of August •with their intense heat which usually leaves everyone. exhausted do not seem to have an effect upon the people of Howell's Villa or so it would appear from the general round of entertaining in which they are all taking part. The grand success of the Juniors' damce which was held- a few weeks tigo with Art Wise and his orchestra, Chicago, supplying the music has been an incentive to the elder residents of the Villa. They are planning a° dance in the Chapel Hill Country Clubhouse Saturday, August 17. Although definite plans are not completed they intend to have an orchestra from McHenry if satisfactory arrangements can be made. Mrs. Harold Parker, Chicago, was hostess to ten of the former residents of the Villa, Wednesday, July Si. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. Ptercy A. Tonk, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Freeman Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Freeman, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Gast, Mrs. Clarabelle Riesenberg, and Bob Freeman. They enjoyed the opportunity to again visit their old homes but they were quite surprised at some of the changes which have been made. Mr. and Mrs. Clayton F. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Kaindl, Chicago, were weekend guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter M. Kelly. Miss Mary Kelly was taken to Henrotin Hospital Sunday night to hav an emergency operation for appendicitis. Garover Niemeyer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Niemeyer, Rogers Park, who re. cently had his appendix removed, is again home with his family at their summer home recuperating from his operation. Tom Kilroy, twenty-two year old son of Captairi and Mrs. Thomas Kilroy, who was injured in an accident just outside of McHenry, July 3, is also convalescing.
