"opened up the Shenandoah National
Park, the Goose Creek country, the

the Chopawamsic area and other
primeval wooded regions heretofore
unknown to them.
A decade of adventuresome travels to
these out-of-theway places came to
virtual close early in 1912 when the
Office of Defense Transportation called
a Nationwide halt to chartered bus
travel. A drastic change in hiking habits
was nesessitated by this limitation Of
hiking trips to areas accessible from local
bus and streetcar lines and from few
railroads.
Scouting parties were hurriedly organ
lied by mixers experienced in cross
country exploration by use of topo-
graphic maps and compass New routes
were developed through such picturesque

likewise with perfect propriety. But
with those who did not ride themselves
there was decided opposition to women
indulging in this sort of sport. Some
looked upon it as immodest and as
lowering Of womanly dignity, and when
boomers and divided skirts were talked
of, they fairly frothed at the mouth. A
physician at the time, writing to The
Star, said:
II have read with deep interest the
various communications in regard to
beer drinking by lady bicyclists, and
sincerely hope that much good may
result therefrom. Now the discussion
has drifted more or less from the cause
OF the evil to the propriety of public
beer drinking, and am desirous of hav-
ing the cause more fully treated. Suffice
it to say, do not believe gentleman
will take lady he respects to beer
garden, in this city at least.
THE question then that arises in my
mind is: Have gentlemen less respect
for the girl who rides a wheel than for
one who does not? have always been
bitterly opposed to girls riding bicycles,
and the short skirts and threatened
bloomers have only added to my opposi-
ton.
