Have you ever fallen asleep at night
in a hammock slung under the trees up
along the river, besides the white tents
that are to be your home for a few

asks writer in the Dayton, Ohio,
Journal
Have you ever forgotten the city's
hurry and heat while you lived for a
month in a hilltop camp up in the
woods, where the breeze can absolute
ly be relied on to work twenty-four
hours a day. and where routine does
not exist? In the evenings you sit up
marvel at the sunset gems in the most
wonderful sweep of sky you have ever
seen. Diamond fire in the west-opal
tints above the northern woods-the
clear. purple amethyst of bishops
ring above, and in the east gold glow
where presently the moon will rise.
Then it grows dark, and far across the
valley there are suddenly clusters of
lights and you identify them idly and
venture guess that II is five miles
across the valley to them. Far below
below you, and mile away. bright.
crawling disks appear, marking a
straight lane or light ahead. and you
know they are the lights of speeding
motor cars on the highway. You hear
a faint put-put-put that makes you
think of motor boat way out on the
water. and single bright eye creeps
close to and past the pairs of eyes, and
you know it is a motor cycle in mad
career, only ii seems to just crawl. Be
yond the highway moves a tiny process
sion of small. square lights led by a
big round bright one. You know IT is the
night express, even before the faint,
musical whoo- o. oohoo hoo reaches you.
There are the settling down noises
of the insect world and the goodnight
songs of the birds, and somehow you
do not feel just like starting the phono-
graph you brought along to entertain
you in the evenings.
