 Qreatest Need 



Nothing contributes as 

 much to peace and con- 

 tentment as Homes. Home 

 ownership the natural 

 creator of prudence, sane 

 living and thrift is the 

 most potent combatant to 

 recklessness, extravagance 

 and speculation. National

 demand that every com-

 er attention on the build- 

 ing of more homes. Help 

 keep alive that apt and 

 important slogan: "OWN 

 YOUR OWN HOME." 



BOOK REVIEWS 



VACATION DAYS IN COLORADO'S 

 NATIONAL FORESTS 



DOOKLETS with good information con- 

 cerning the out-of-doors are always 

 sought by those who are looking for some 

 vttractive place to spend their vacation. 

 The government puts out some of the 

 most interesting of pamphlets describing 

 the many vacation lands of the National 

 Forests. It is planned to keep the readers 

 informed of these as they come out and 

 where they may secure copies for their use. 



"Vacation Days in Colorado's National 

 Forests" is one of the first of these book- 

 lets to be issued and if those which follow 

 show improvement it will be only because 

 this one first publication has given an in- 

 centive to publish something that is dis- 

 tinctly worth while. 



The booklet is bound in an attractive 

 cover inside of which there is a directo' 

 of all the National Forests found in Colo- 

 rado. Following that there is a general 

 introduction to the idea of forest recrea- 

 tion and the National Forests. Then fol- 

 low descriptions of all of the forests in 

 Colorado which tell in each case of some 

 of the more striking scenic features of that 

 forest. Trips are outlined, camps are 

 located for the tourist and the height of 

 the greater peaks in each area is noted. 

 Information as to how to reach each for- 

 est is given and that with the directory of 

 forests in the front of the book insures 

 \ ready source of information to all those 

 .vho possess the booklet. 



In the back part of this booklet is found 

 i short sketch telling how the forests are 

 idministered and of the great wealth found 

 here. A short discussion of fire preven- 

 tion and camp sanitation is found following 

 his and the remainder of the booklet is 

 ;iven over to lists of equipment for camp 

 trips, the rations needed for men in camp, 

 the tree zones of the mountains, a photo- 

 graphic exposure table for Colorado and a 

 map of the State showing the forests, cities 

 and railroads. 



This will prove a very interesting booklet 

 to anyone who is planning on visiting the 

 west or who has spent time in the Rockies. 

 There are many fine pictures printed in its 

 pages and the reading matter is far from 

 dull. A copy will be sent free of charge to 

 anyone if they will write the District For- 

 ester, Denver, Colorado, and ask that they 

 be sent "Vacation Days in Colorado's 

 National Forests."
