When it's scorching outside, try ENO inside. A dash of ENO in a glass of water guickly induces a feeling of

reshness and agreeable cool- ness that lasts throughout the day. Try it, next time you feel "all in” from the heat. It not only tastes good, but 1: good for your digestive system.

Camp DeRoma. July 9, 1936.

Brother Scouts,—

Things are going well at Camp Di:-Roma. The weather is fairly good and everybody happy.

A large part of the time at camp is taken up in the passing of tests. Mr. T. A. Driscoll and his board of examiners being kept busy. Among others passing today were the following:—

Don Bruce, 8th Charlottetown.

Verner Campbell, lst Borden, Jack Dalziel. lst Borden. Norman Jay, lst Borden, Blair Burch, 1st Bor- den, Lloyd Oatway, lst Borden, and Raymond Perry, 2nd summerside, 2nd Class tracking. ‘T l A full list of tests passed and l badges awarded will be published at the end of camp.

At the camp flrcs. competition is keen between Drisooll's Choir and Pineau's Songsters. A feature of the campfire each evening is the singing of ‘”I‘aps" under the lead- ership of Scouts Pat Leightizer and Percy Simmonds.

Living up to the scout motto “Be prepared." a Scout whose par- ents had brought him a large sup- ply of cake and other articles of

food approached the camp and asked if he might have some Milk oi‘ Magnesia: upon the

CC. asking if he were sick, he re- plied "No sir, but I expect to be."

At the camp fire last evening, Asst. Camp Chief Driscoll gave a very interesting talk on the An- cient Churches of England. and also traced the ‘(volution of the scout staff from the measuring rod of ancient days.

I Ivan Smith, 16-year-old South- ‘ port youth. told he was coming to- lwards town across the Hillsboro ; Bridge on the night of the accid- i ent. A car passed him just on the town side of the keeper's shack at the end of the bridge. The car passed him just. in front of Mr. F'lnnnigan‘s house. He did not know whose car it was or who was in it. It was going slowly and the witness thought it was slowing up to give him a drive and he ran after it. It was going ten or twelve miles per hour. He judged the speed because he thought it‘ he had kept running he could have caught it. No other car passed him before the accident. When the witness reached the crossing he saw the locomotive stopped on the crossing. He saw a car on the north and Charlottetown side of the crossing. It. was between the rails. when the witness arrived at the scene Mr. MeNeill and some train men were there. He was acquainted with Mr. McNeill slightly and knew Abbott to see him.

Cross examined by Hon. Mr. Campbell the witness said he no- ticed the locomotive on the cross- ing just before he came to the

Accused Gives Evidence

Russell Abobtt, the accused, tee- tificd he has been driving a motor car since 1914. He also operated the motor equipment for the city and drove the ladder truck of the Fire Department.

At the time of the accident he was d'rivi.ng a Marquette sedan, with four wheel mechanical brakes. A month before April 20 the car

were the very best.

He had known the deceased, Mary Johnston. for 4 or 5 years. He was acquainted with the Oral- ton st. crossing and had been over it many times. He called it a bad crossing, he said. On the night of the accident he had been around the fire station the first part of the evening. Later he got in his car and drove around a block or two intending to go to the bowling alley to see a. match.

As he was on the comer of Great George and Fitroy Streets Mary Johnston hailed him. He had known her previously but had not seen her for a month or so. They talked for a time. She asked where he was going and then said how about a little drive. They drove ni-ounci the streets for a time and then drove over the bridge about , ten o'clock, the witness said. They were going no place in particular. It was a. little cool that evening

Heard No Sound of Train

The witness did not hear a whistle or ally sound of a train nor did he hear the crossing bell. As he approached the croslng he was on the look out. suddenly he saw the train come ollt and he thought perhaps it was on the regular line. He slammed on the brakes and the car stopped about three-quarter way over the eastern track. Tile car went only a foot. or so after he applied the brakes, When the train appeared he knew he was close to the track.
