WORLDS SCOUTS GATHER.

Totem Poles Presented. WEATHER CONDITIONS BRIGHTER. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received August 6, 7.5 p m.) LONDON, August 5. The New Zealand, Australian, Canadian, and Indian contingents of Boy Scouts were each presented with carved totem poles by the Chief Scout (Lord Baden Powell), at a special ceremony at Arrowe Park. Improved weather is making camp conditions more cheerful.. LADY BADEN-POWELL INTERVIEWED MORE YOUNG MEN WANTED. (United Press Association —By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received August 6, 8.10 p.m.) LONDON, August 5. Lady Baden-Powell, interviewed at Arrowe Park, said: “We are not getting all the young men we want for the Boy Scout movement. Youths with intellectual gifts are over-fond of racing madly about in motor cars, and on motor cycles, yet they could help us in framing and building up the characters of boys who are less fortunate. It is a curious fact that the sisters of these young men are with us whole-heartedly, and in consequence there are 100,000 more Girl Guides than Boy Scouts in Britain. It is noteworthy that Girl Guides are not so numerous in foreign countries, though these are quickly coming to learn that a good man is necessarily a counterpart of a good woman.”
