be chosen probably in the near future.
Chief Scout Titus Ulke. who led the
sunrise section" or early hikers last
Sunday. is also laying his plans for an
other outing similar to the initial one.

Despite the fact that those who went
last Sunday were divided into two
parties. those who went in the morning
and those who chose to make the aft
ernoon excursion. both hikes were well
attended. Up to the present time all who
have made the trips have expressed enjoy
ment in the outing. Several suggestions
have been made as to the best way for OBJ
tanning the greatest amount of pleasure
from the hikes and are to be followed.
one of the plans under consideration
entails the appointment of a different
wanderluster each week-from those
with previous experience. of course
as leader of the expedition. In this
sibility and work-for ii is not such an
easy task to lead party of hikers
through the fields and forests-will be
evenly divided and all the "dyed-in-
the-wool'' wanderusters will be given
a chance to distribute their knowledge
among those who are not so well
versed in the lore of the field and
woods.
On Recruiting Service.
All this week wanderlusters who have
made one or more of the previous hikes
will be busy urging their friends and
urging their friends to urge their
friends TO attend the next one. 1t Is
hoped by those interested in the move
ment to get all of Washington out
of doors-that this next expedition
Will be much more largely attended
than any of the preceding ones.
Many of those who have been out
are polishing up their knowledge in
nature lore and are reading bird and
plant books Field work and book study
go well together. it is said. for those
who wish to engage in nature study.
