can be carried in hand—clipped
on belt—hung up by handle—

It throws long, powerful rays and,
at close range, gives bright, even-
ly diffused light.

hours of use. It's nicely finished
in Khaki color. Also flashlights

and flashlights with compass built
in, weatherproof Hot Spark igni-

expresses appreciation for six specific

CAMP
DISCIPLINE
Leading summer camps, through years of ex-
perience, have proven that supervised rifle
shooting is a material factor in helping to
maintain good discipline.
Every boy has an inherent desire to shoot a
real gun. In no other sport is he so amenable
or attentive to supervised instruction, as in
rifle shooting. Under proper instruction he
quickly acquires self confidence and self disci-
pline as well as full knowledge on exactly
how to handle all guns safely.
Scoutmasters are cordially invited to write us
for complete information on how to establish
and conduct rifle shooting in their own camps,
this summer.
