A ten foot wall has been built in the park and troops have already had successful practice on it. On this occasion, how ever. it will be a race between com peting teams to see which team ot eight can scale the wall without lad ders, ropes, etc., in the shortest time. Having never seeff it done, one would doubt very seriously the possibility of scaling such a wall, but tell your friends that they will certainly see It done in a remarkably short time if they attend this field meet. Fire building Is another interesting and spectacular demonstration. A special badge is to be awarded to every boy who succeeds in making lire by friction and several are fully expecting to win it. This will show at first hand, just how the Indians used' to make fire by rubbing sticks. Then building a fire with only one stick of1 wood, a hand ax, and two marches, is almost as difficult when you are in a race to get a quart of water boiling with that same fire. And so on, with all the events of the day. Say scouts, doesn't it-make you anxiAs for the day to come, just to think about it?

[United Press leased Wire Service! CHICAGO, May 7.—A nomad sales man, .one of the thousands of ped dlers who infest Chicago's back doors, pounded Mrs. Ella Coppersmith and her two year old son, John, to death with a hammer and then slashed their throats, according to the theory of the police today. The police be lieve the man was mentally unbal anced. They cannot account for the brutality of the attack otherwise. An autopsy to be performed this after noon, will show n-'iether both robbery and criminal assault were the mo tives of the murderer. Strong reason for the police theory that a degenerate or a man otherwise unbalanced, killed the mother and her baby yesterday in their home, de veloped today whffc it became known that Mrs. Coppersmith, obviously, was soon again to become a mother. Four men, Ralph Newman, Georga Swain, John Roberta and Levi Mark ley. have been arrested as suspects Newman had a cut on one finger. In a pool of blood near the woman's body had been found linen band age such as is tied abotit a finger.
