SCOUTING IN THE DESERT.

Some time ago a scoutmaster In
Yuma, out In the American desert
country. yelled across the continent
to national headquarters for help. He
wanted to know how to play In the
sand. Where could scouts hike to in
a desert, and what could they do when
they got there? How can you map a
desert7 How can you run of treas
ure hunt In q desertf What use is a
desert, anyway? The editor of The
American Mineralogist, a tremen-
dously scientific magazine, heard
Yuma, and comes back with the state
ment that his magazine has an article
on the minerals Of that region, which
are famous the world over. and are In
great demand among mineral dealers,
private collectors, museums and col
leges. He also states that the botany
Of that region IN remarkable, and the
botanists in other parts Of the United
States would value pressed specimens
of plants. photographs Of these In
the native haunts and information a.
to their habitats. There is no place
where scouts cannot hike with edu-
cational profit
