VAST ARMY OF BOYS
HEADED FOR CAMPS
UNDER Y.M.C.A. CARE
NEW YORK, May 13.—(/P)—This
is the season when the snap of rod
and line, the whisper of wind thru
the forests and the chatter of streams
warble a siren song to boys, old and
young. To satisfy the thirst of youth
for the out-of-doors, the Young Men’s
Christian Association is already mak
ing preparations for its hundreds of
summer camps, the attendance of
which is expected to exceed that for
any previous year since the first
camp in 1S85.
Arthur N. Cotton, head of the
Boys’ Work of the National Council,
estimates that the enrollment this
year probably will reach 100,000 for
the 600 Y. M. C. A. camps to Sep
tember throughout the United States
for boys from 12 to 18 years of age.
This is only one phase of the sum
mer’s program . Thousands of other
boys who are unable to attend camp
will be given opportunities for free
swimming and gymnasium training,
hokes, educational trips to factories,
nature study, Bible study, and ab
breviated scolastic courses in Y. M.
C. A.’s from coast to coast.
“Y. M. C. A. camps,” said Mrs. Cot
ton, “furnish an outlet for boy ener
gy and provide a pathway towTard
the development of clean, whole
some living. There boyish impulses
are directed into proper channels,
leading to the formation of mental,
physical, social and spiritual power.”
Most of the day’s program in the
Y. M. C. A. camps is given over to
sports and lessons in living the life
of the great outdoors. Religious ex
ercises are limited in the main to
brief Bible study courses. There is
no preaching.
Sumner P. Dudley established the
first Y. M. C. A. boys' camp at Or
ange Lake, N. Y., in' 1885, under the
auspices of the Newburgh, N. Y. As
sociation, only two or three years af
ter Ernest Berkeley Balch had set
up on Asquam Lake, New Hamp
shire, Camp Chocorua, the first pri
vate organized camp for boys ever
held in the United States.
The movement has spread into
nearly every other nation of the
world. Thousands of boys now as
semble in camp each summer under
the Red Triangle in many strange
spots, from the dangerous mountains
of China, to the chill wastes of Rus
sia and the beautiful fruit groves
on the shores of the Aegean Sea.
And the manner of conducting each
of these camps varies but slightly
from that in vogue in Jersey, Colo
rado, or Kansas.
Instruction in camp varies from
wood lore to gymnastics. Every effort
is made to safeguard the boys by
teaching them care of their bodies
and an avoidance of foolhardy and
dangerous pranks. Otherwise, they
live carefree lives in the open.
Clothing is designed for comfort, not
style, the object being to build heal
thy bodies and alert clean minds.
Europe planning to Make
Motor Touring Less Irksome
GENEVA, May 12.—(£>)—Promot
ers of tourist trade in Europe are
going out of their way to make eas
ier the movements of parties travel
ing in automobiles. Free-spending
Americans are particularly invited
to take notice, and to come and bring
their cars and their money.
An international road traffic con
ference will be held in Paris next
fall. It will then be proposed to is
sue double certificates, one for the
driver and one for the car, so the
driver can change to another motor
without trouble. There are to be
international driving certificates for
12 months, facilitating entering and
leaving a country as often as desir
ed. Standard road signs will be
adopted, and explained to drivers,
and interstate touring will otherwise
be made safer and more agreeable.

Fraternity Would Raise
Business School Standard
MINNEAPOLIS, May 13.—(£>)—
Methods of promoting a professional
interest in the study of business and
business system in an effort to place
schools of commerce on the same pro
fessional basis as school of law and
medicine will be discussed at the an
nual convention of the Alpha Kappa
Psi fraternity here June 19-22.
Means also will be discussed by
which the organization can become
more closely affiliated with schools
of commerce throughout the United
States. It is proposed that banquets
and meetings be held at which prom
inent business men would address
the fraternity—in which the stud
ent becomes acquainted with busi
ness men and business methods be
fore he gets through college.
Alpha Kappa Psi, the first profes
sional commerce fraternity, was
founded at New York University in
1905 by ten students registered in the
School of Commerce, Accounts and
Finance. Its membership now in-,
eludes dozens of prominent deans of
universities, noted educators, bank
ers and accountants.
The twentieth anniversary of the
founding of the order will be observ
ed at the convention and more than
150 delegates and officers will be in
Minneapolis representing the frater
nity’s 45 chapters.
Newspapers Flourish
Is Swiss Republic
BERLIN, May 13.—(yp)—The Unit
ed States leads the world in the
number of newspapers published
within its borders, 30,000, according
to the newspaper Germania. France
is second with 10,000.
The figures, however, tell a differ
ent story when the newspapers are
compared to the number of inhabi
tants. On this basis Switzerland
stands first w'ith 270 newspapers for
every million inhabitants, and the
United States is second w'ith 250. In
England the proportion is 98 papers
to each million of people.

Only One In 50,000 Movie
Actors Achieves Stardom
HOLLYWOOD, May 13.—(>P)—Fig
ures compiled durin gthe last five
years by the largest moving picture
producing companies reveal that the
aspirant to stardom in the films must
overcome a 50,000-to-l chance of
achieving success.
The figures indicate that in the
past five years, screen service bu
reaus of Hollywood have supplied
over 100,000 men, women and child
ren, who at first were inexperienced
in moving picture work. Of these
100,000, not to exceed six or seven
have reached a point where their
names were carried on the screen,
and only two have become stars of
any magnitude.
Many included in the figures had
some theatrical experience, and the
contrast is drawn with the fact that
nearly all of the prominent stars
and featured players have had stage
experience.”
“A beautiful face,” directors say,
“or a pretty figure, or both, without
■special histronic ability, are useless
in filmland.”
