 National Forests Widely Distributed
 The National Forests are widely dis tributed, from Maine to Oregon and from Alaska to Porto Rico, and they include almost every variety of eli mate, vegetation, and topography, and offer opportunities for nearly every ina ginable kind of outdoor recreation. Besides those already mentioned there are the winter sports of skating, ski ing, snow-shoeing. tobogganing, and the like. Indeed. in some places in Colorado and California, one can in less than a day go by automobile from summers hottest blaze in a sun Drowned valley to snow and ice on the high peaks in the National Forests. Near Steamboat Springs, Colo, on the Routt Forest, the annual ski tourna- ment every winter attracts the pro- fessionals from all parts of the coun- try. The worlds record jump of 20S feet was made on the Howe1son Hill Course in 1917. On this Forest there

ly across the path ahead, and with much scratching and wheezing climbs the nearest tree for safety.
 There are no restrictions on the visitor to the National Forests. He may go where he pleases. pitch his camp wherever the fancy strikes him, and stay as long as he likes. All that is asked is that he observe the State game laws, and that he be careful with fire. He may have, free of charge, what wood he needs for fuel and forage for his saddle and pack animals.
 Travel In Comfort
 He will find that many things have been done for his comfort and con venience while on the Forests. Thou sands of miles of trails and roads make the back areas of the National Forests readily accessible. He who loves to take the trail on foot or with pack horse will find, whether in the East or in the West, just what he wants In the Natural Bridge area. of the Alp. palachian Forest in Virginia, easily reached from the cities of the East Forest Service trails lead through splendid forests wS4h inspiring out looks over mountain and valley, across

are many interesting one-day trips for amateur skiers, all within a radius of ten miles of Steamboat Springs and offering keen sport, wonderful scenery, and fascinating rides"
 Canoeist's Paradise
 On the Superior National Forest, in Minnesota, the water routes, a net work of lakes and rivers that for the Indians and fur traders formed the main route of travel from Lake Su- perior to the Northwest, furnish white water" in plenty to test the mett1e of the expert canoeist; and for the less experienced paddler there are routes on which the water is un- broken by rapids. On these water routes of the Superior one often meets deer, which gazes at the intruder in startled wonderment; or the canoe may glide silently upon a giant moose, feeding on the grasses along the shore, which watches the intruder's coming g with sullen surprise before crashing cut of sight through the brush. Round ing the point of a winding stream, one catches sight of a beaver as it dives under the water or gets a glin pse of a mink or fisher gliding to cover. On the portage a porcupine waddles hasti-

 From Southern New Mexico and Arizona to Northern Washington the National forests offer many opportuni- ties for similar trips, for they coincide generally with the great mountain ranges of the West. To the South the visitor may choose the fifty-mile ride along the Continental Divide Trail from Treasure Pass westward, with its magnificent panoramic outlook over three States at once. Or away to the North. on the Crater National Forest in oregon, he may urge his horse to the summit of Mt. Ashland and look out over the Siskiyou Mountains and the Cascade Range down and upon the Shasta and Rogue River valleys.
 For The Tramper
 If he Is willing to tramp and to climb, the possibilities in the way of scenery on the National Forests are unlimited. From the bare and rugged peaks and ranges of the Rockies to the soft and rounded heights of the Southern Appala chians, there is every variety of mountain formation. The mile upon mile of rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Range in the San Isabel National Forest, Colorado, challenge the sturdiest mountain climber and reward him with magnificent views over the neigh boring peaks and the rich, rolling meadows of the Wet Mountain Valley with the pine and spruce covered slopes of the Greenhorn Mountains in the distance.

 Quaint Customs Of Natives
 The men are rather taciturn and care more for their catch of fish than for their catch of money from the artists although some will condescend. to pose. The best pictures of them, however, have been painted from snapshots caught by the photographer when they are off their guard. Dur ing the summer they will often squat on the ground and either have a chat in that position, smoke a pipe or play cards. They watch every mood of the sea and a group watching a boat come in is an interesting sight. They smoke rapidly displaying a sort of nervous energy and look seventy be- fore they are fifty, perhaps due to their exposure at sea. They wear huge baggy trousers, each trouser leg much wider than the skirts worn by the women of the present day, tight fitting woolen shirts, often used without coats and woolen caps, very like those worn by a Cossack soldier. Their stockings are yarn,f home-knit and their shoes are of the famous wooden type so popular all over Hol- land. These, however, are removed when they go in the houses and ire quently one may see half a dozen pairs before a doorway.
 The Volandam fishermen are unlike the other Hollanders and have a dis tinctiveness all their own. They are thickset men who show that they are we'll fed at all times, although the food eaten during their fishing trips is coarse. consisting of fish, potatoes and plenty of gin. They are never bulIies, but if imposed upon are ready to fight. Their work is no child's play so they must possess great strength. They are usually devout Catholics and kind to their families.
 The costumes of the women are familiar to every lover of pictures and there are artists in this country who even have girls of our own land pose for them wearing the Volandam cos tunes. These pictures, while artistic are never quite as successful as those Sketched on the spot.
