ROSS L. ALLEN, d. p. H.
Managing Executive,

American Camping Association, Inc.
ANN ARBOR, Mich, June IL
The organized camp in America has
become an educational, recreational
and health-promoting agency which
is accepted now by educators and
parents. When the objective of
camping was solely recreation. the
selection of camp for the child was
not too difficult. With the educa-
tional values and the health at
tributes to be considered in addition
to the contribution which the camp
may make to the child's wise use of
leisure time, the parents choice of
the right camp for his child becomes
not only serious problem, but one
involving many factors which should
receive consideration. The rapid
growth in the numbers and types Of
camps during the last 20 years does
not simplify the problem.
In choosing a camp for Johnny or
Jane the parent must do bit OF
research (though not too technicaD
and evaluation. Obviously. included
in this preliminary study Is the
necessity for securing information
about five or six camps from which
q selection might be made. Where
can the parent obtain an approved
list of camps? One might assume,
and rightfully so, that the American
Camping Association could and
should provide such list, but this
is not so. The meager budget of
this association does not permit the
employment Of a large field stan,
which Is essential In making an ade-
quate survey and evaluation OF
camps. The American Camping AS
sociation does plan to have ready
for the 1910 season q list Of organ
lied camps throughout this country
and Canada, but there will not be
any attempt to rate the camps listed

America can be rediscovered this
summer on vacation.
In every part of this Nation there
are fascinating things going on that
are SKINNED by unless attention is
called to them. just west of the
Mississippi, through the great farm
ing regions where people live in
isolated communities, the State and
county fairs are the great event of
the year. Many who remember the
picnic basket with ants, the hot sun,
the dust, the canned peaches and
pickles, not to mention the Squeal-
ing pigs with their red or blue rib
bons, turn up their noses at this
suggestion. But the important point
Is this-that in fighting the de-
preston of the last 10 years there
has emerged from our rural COM
munities a revival of the handcrafts
and home arts that were forgotten
IN the prosperous years. At the
State fair the observing traveller
can find handmade pottery, fine
glass, quilts, applique, lovely woven
fabrics, wood carving, painting and
all the rest of the arts. This is
where young people and old dance
dances and sing songs so fine and
unique that they were part of the
program that fascinated royalty in
Washington this month. These arts
are distinctive, original, true ex-
preston of the people who make
the wheels of the country 60.

During the peak of the summer
season, which in general extends
from June 20 to September l, every
type of travel accommodation from
comfortable campgrounds to mod
ern hotel rooms will be available in
seven of the famous Western parks.
Such a variety of facilities will be
provided in Crater Lake, Grand
Canyon. Glacier, Rainier, Rocky
Mountain, Yellowstone and Yosem-
ite National Parks. Seven other
national parks, including Shenan-
doah. Bryce Canyon. General Grant,
Lassen Volcanic, Mesa Verde, Sc
quota and Zion, have accommoda-
tions ranging from improved camp
grounds to de luxe cabins with
running water and bath. These
modern cabins are in most instances
grouped about central lodge which
includes dining room, recreational
hall, lobby and other conveniences.
In such national parks as Great
Smoky Mountains, Olympic, Wind
Cave and Grand Teton, camp
grounds and picnic centers have
been developed and will be available
this summer for public use. A
limited number of sleeping cabins
or tents are provided within some
of this latter group of parks, and
within short distances all manner
of facilities may be secured in
towns and cities outside the park
boundaries. Famous Carlsbad Cav
erns National Park in Southeastern
New Mexico has no overnight &C
commodations, but modern hotels,
tourist camps and other facilities
are provided in nearby cities and
towns.
Tourists who have not visited the
Yellowstone since 1887 will find this
season many new accommodations.

Joseph Kuritz, who sent me one of the best written yarns
I've had to date. Joe's at Brooklyn now and at last writing
could have used a job. He gave up his youthful ambition to
be a mining engineer as a result of events related in today's
story, and switched to mechanical engineering. But, if you
ask me, the magazines are looking for people who can write
like Joe.
Accordingly, I'm following his script pretty close. In
April, 1920, Joe was a surveyor with the Glen Alden Coal
Co., Scranton, Pa. It was his first job, and he was assigned
to investigating pillar ~robbing'' in the Cayuga mines. I'll
explain.
Miners must leave enough coal to support the roof of the
mine, which consists of shale, a scaly rock, that caves in
easily. Pillar robbhng means stealing coal from these remaining sup
ports, and is illegal, since it may cause cave-ins in which workers
are killed. gas and water mains burst. even explode, and brick buildings

Old Timbers Prove Useless as Support.
The Cayuga had been deserted for so years. Inside Joe and three
companions found pillars cracked and crumbled by the weight Of millions

were useless and might just as well have been mined out. Old timber

SESSION WOUND UP AS
AYERS PASSES ON ALL
REMAINING MEASURES

Montana's 18th legislative as
sembly was formally wound up
last Friday when Governor Roy
E. Ayers gave final conSidera-
ton to the last IS of the more
than $50 bills the lawmakers
passed and sent to the chief ex-
ecutive for rejection or approx
al. Thirteen of the IS measures
were vetoed while the rest be-
came laws of the state.
Most spectacular of the meas
ureS approved was the women's
jury bill, which as finally passed
by the legislature and signed
by the governor, will permit wo-
men to serve on jurieS begin
ming January, 1910. The other
measures approved were mostly
for the purpose of clarifying ex-
listing laws.
The governor Topped off S., 900
annually from another approp-
ration bill that sought money
to operate the farm loan diviS-
ion of the state land depart
ment. The governor said the
number of state loans has been
reduced from 1888 to 81, all in
good order, and that the di-
vision is no longer needed.
Other bills vetoed included
one requesting the state welfare
department to make payments
to persons afflicted with silico-
sis. The legislature passed the
bill, but made no provision for
paying the afflicted persons.
They were not mentioned in
the general welfare bill or in
the welfare appropriation bill.
Governor Ayers also vetoed a
measure called the loan shark
bill" AS the bill started out
through the legislature it was
intended to reduce interest rates
on small loans. When it finished
its wanderings and landed in
the governors office, it would
have permitted 3 per cent in
terest per month on all loans
under $500, and the interest
could have been compounded.
The bill fixing closing hours
for retail liquor establishments
was vetoed because it would
have set the final closing hour
for places outside cities, but
would not have touched other
places.

Sure looks odd to see how
some countries can stay out OF
wars, and other countries, they
squeeze into every one when
they can get their foot in the
door.
You take Sweden, and Den
mark and Norway, they were
next door to the World War
and kept their nose out of it
and they were smart.
And you take it right now,
they are swapping and frothing
around again in Europe, 3 or 4
thousand miles from our U.S.A,
but we are trying to show off
and balance a chip on our
shoulder, or something.
In the Encyclopedia you will
read where Bismarck went out
of his way and finally stirred
up a war with France, 70 years
ago. The German people, they
were not itching to fight. But
MI. Bismarck, he craved to be
a great person. He craved q
uniform with gold braid, and he
craved to ride the lead horse.
But Mr.. Bismarck, he did not
carry a musket - when war
came.
In the U. S. if we get foolish
and listen to all the honkers
flying around overhead - and
act like a flock of geese-we will
be housekeeping next.

mo longer is it possible for
the farmer in Montana and
other western states to plant
his seed in the ground and then
raise his calloused hands to the
high heavens in a prayer for
rain. The prayer of the farmer
has not been answered. Today,
he must safeguard the life of
his crops against drouth
through a unified, scientific ap-
proach to the agricultural prob
lem. That solution lies in irriga-

crop at SAC, 1000, 900 which would
