TOURIST REGISTERS ON MA
TIONAL FORESTS POPULAR

Early this season tourist registers
were installed at the main road en-
frances to the Intermountain National
forests The registeres are conven-
iently placed in mounted. weather
proof boxes, over which a notice is
found offerinp the assistance and CO.
| operation of the local forest service
organization to those who, upon en-
tering the forest. register their name,
address and destination.
The travelling public has made very
extensive use of the registers during
the summer, extra books having be-
come necessary on several of the more
heavily travelled national forest roads.
An incident occurring on the Cache
forest, in northern Utah, illustrates the
beneficial use to which these registers
are put. On Augusc 10, an emergency
telephone call for people from Ire
monitor. known to be spending an out
ing in the mountains. was received at
the Tony Grove ranger station. These
people had made use of the tourist
register. and it was thus possible for
the ranger to quickly determine the
location of their camp. Ranger Hend-
erson was at the time unable to travel
but fortunately Mrs. Henderson's faith
err. Mr.. Chandler. was visiting at the
station and rode up the canyon seven |
miles to deliver the urgent message.
The extensive system of service tele- |
phone lines and its widespread but !
close-knit organization makes lit pos
sible to render many services of this
kind. which not only are of considera-
bic benefit to the traveller and camper
but also bring home more forcibly the
advantages Of the National Forest as
recreation and vacation grounds

HIS CHILLY RECEPTION.
Mark Twain's Visitor When the Hu-
norist Was Absentminded.


Absentmindedness was characteristic
Of Mark Twain. He lived so much in
the world within that to him the mate
rial outer world was often vague and
shadowy.
Once when he was knocking the
balls about in the billiard room
George. the colored butler. a favorite
and privileged household character,
brought up a card So many canvass
ers came to sell him one thing and an
other that Clemens promptly assumed
this to be one Of them. George insist
ed mildly, but firmly, that though
stranger the caller was certainly a
gentleman. and Clemens graniDlingly
descended the stairs.
As he entered the parlor the caller
rose and extended his hand. Clemens
took it rather Imply. for he had no.
ticed some water colors and engrav-
ings leaning against the furniture as if
for exhibition. and he was instantly
convinced that the caller was a pic
ture canvasser.
Inquiries by the stranger as TO Mrs.
Clemens and the children did not
change Mark Twain's conclusion. He
was polite, but unresponsiye, and grad
ually worked the visitor toward the
front door. An inquiry as to the home
of Charles Dudley Warner caused the
caller to be shown eagerly in that oil
rectiOn.
Clemens, on the way back to the
billiard room, heard Mrs. Clemens call
him-she was i'll that day.
Youth
'Yes. Ivy" He went in for word.
George brought me Mr.. BIS card.
I hope you were nice to him; the
BIS were so nice to US once in Europe
while you were gone"

yes, of course, and asked him to
be sure to call when he came to Hart
ford!'-Albert Bigelow Paine in St

And Let Him Hunt For the ingredients

Newspaper comment to the contrary.
there still remain few accomplish
ments in which a man may excel a
woman, and, oddly enough, one of these
is salad makingi Indeed, there seems
to be in the masculine character. psy-
chologically speaking, it may be sup
/ posed, something that makes the con-
cocting of salads a mans special gen.
ius in the way of humble skill
You know the requirements for good
maker Of salads-"A miser for vine
gar, a spendthrift for oil and a mad
man to do the mixing"
And there you have it woman is
too careful, too considerate. too con-
ventional, too much hampered by de-
tails. But give a masculine lover of
good salads congenial company, full
liberty in the use of oil, vinegar and
pepper and the freedom of your re-
frigeratOr, and you may trust him to
produce a masterpiece
First of all, your salad master enjoys
the making of his dish. He puts into
it the conviviality of good comradeship
and the zest Of adventure. He much
prefers an exploring expedition in
search for his Ingredients and some
dubious uncertainty as to the result Of
his efforts 10 a cut and dried sureness
Of means and methods The result is
a surprise which. as we all know. is
one Of the,frst aids toward good appe-
tite.
Next. a man does not want culinary
folderols. He is hungry, and he wants
his salad to furnish him something to
eat, so he puts into it plenty of oil and
good substantial vegetables and green /
things. He likes to eat; he likes adven- /
ture and uncertainty; he likes piquancy I

Of doing things. Let him make your /

another form Of community waste,
which could have been prevented by
better sanitation on the farm and
which today is being prevented by
