largely instrumental in increasing the
number of ?coni troops from seventy
to 130 So well does Mr. Weaver know
the scouts of whom he has charge, it
is said that he can call the names of
every one of the 2,000 members on
sight.
,He is a native nf Mlddletown, Md ,

MOVES TO GLEN ECHO
Although Judge R. Carter Scott, of
the Henrico Circuit Court, has issued an
order requiring the Henrico County
.School Board to remove its office.)
?ounty papers and records from the
offices it formerly occupied in the
Chamber of t'ommerce building to its
? Id quarters at Henrico Courthouse, the
hoard has moved into offices at Glen ;
iCcho, Just outside of the city limits.
Considering the. fact that the new
location of the school board offices
eliminates the cost of rental, which was
on* of the thincs complained of by j
Magistrate It. A. Smith, who procured j
the order restraining the board from ,
paying office resit In the Chamber of
Oomiiifri'e building, it is not believed i
that Judge Scott will insist on literal .
?-jinpliance with his order.
The board now maintains quarters in
the old < hapel, which was used for the ,
school building before the new school
building was erected. Olen Kcho is in
Fairfield District, which is now the
largest school district in the county. j
Fined on CrostH \\ nrrunts.
Magistrate H.' S. Sunday yesterday
fined N'orella McTliurston. colored. $2.^0 ?
and costs for cursing and abusing Mat- j
tie Anderson, also colored. On a cross 1
wai ant, Mattie Anderson was also ?
tin, ?I the same amount for the same (
misdemeanor. The trials took place at
the dairy farm of Walter Barney on '
the Crelghton Road.

After the last run of the presses on ?
I"uesd3y mornlnp, the whole mechani
cal force of The Times-Dispatch will
turn itself loose, so to speak. for an
ill-day picnic on the grounds of the j
Richmond Yncht Club, near Falling '

with the composing, engraving. stereo
typing and press rooms of the paper,
fr<?m foremen to apprentices, will leave ,
the paper and al! its works to the i
circulation and mailinc departments, 1
and will start on their long, happy, I
boyish day in the country.
The picnic is to be a party given *
by The Times-Dispatch force to it- L
self, no outsiders will be invited, and '
even the powers nt home will be left .
at home. This will be the Slrst of j
what the organizers hope, and expect
to make a series of annual events. '
They point out that, while the men of i
the various mechanical departments
work together for the same ortrani- '
/.ation year after year, sometimes side'
by side and always in the same build- |
insr, they have no opportunity to come j
together in a social way, except at 1
the half-hour period about midnight
known as "lunch hour." They want
to foster the pull-together spirit that
has always obtained on The Times
Dispatch by bringing closer together
the men who aid in making that spirit. (

Nevertheless, the picnic Is in no sense

a regular picnic, with everything that'
should go with a picnic for boys?

that it affords to tire?l men, stale from
grinding away at tasks that call for
tin' utmost rare and patience, in the
prospect of loifing away a whole day
under the trees or out in the sun

Rut the organizers of the picnic have
not relied upon nature alone to furnish
entertainment. They have arranged a
regular outdoor athletic meet with
something like twenty events, divided
into three series. To the winner of
?ach event w:ll a prize of sorts,
many of which have been donated by
firms and individuals?"photographers,
theaters, hardware dealers, haberdash
ers, clothiers, tobacconists, shoe deal
ers and furniture men. With a wis
dom arid sound judgment never before
displayed by the promoters of any
athletic contest, the committee in
charge has inserted a significant little
announcement at the end of its printed
schedule of events. It reads, "Note:
The above events are open to any and
all employees o? The Times-Dispatch,

cretion in awarding the prizes."
