Campers. Old and New

campers. OiQ anu NeW
The old-time camper started out
with a canoe or on horseback. and he
carried with him frying pan. an axe.
few strips OF bacon. some dry bread.
and some sort OF coffee pot He was
real guy" and his bedtime stories
were broadcast at the family Preside.
They were the only rivals in their
time for Besdle's Dime Novels. To-
day the camper starts out with sew
eraI hundred pounds of paraphcrnslia
and provisions draped inside and out
side OF an automobile. and he picks
up all the comforts OF cities and towns
through which he passes on his way
to a camp at the side of the main
highway. There is enough OF the
wild Injun" in all OF us to like the
pleasures OF the open spaces. but not
withs,anding all the comforts at hand
a great many campers have so abused
the hospitality OF the countryside that
mo trespass" signs are common in
school yards and church yards. and
on the trees and fences of property
owners along the highway. Many OF
the states are making laws applying
to campers. For instance. New York
state differentiates between camp
ers" and travellers" and caters to the
latter class who spend a night at a
time in preference to the ;'campers"
who squat indefinitely. Special sites
for campers have been provided ev-
erywhere throughout the country. but
the squatter who comes year after
year to claim the same old spot finds
that the welcome on the green has
disappeared. There are many discour-
aging features in new regulations that
have been officially promulgated. Nor
are the states alone in their schemes
and devices for campers. The federal
government is making great bid for
the National Parks and the National
Forests. and in half dozen or more
of these selected spots every care and
precaution has been taken to make il
agreeable for the modern nomads. Oh.
this summer life certainly is great.

A Row in the Philippines.
When General Leonard Wood went

were varying opinions expressed and
published about the grotesqueness of
