48. THE CANOE ITS SELECTION, CARE AND 

 USE, by Robert E. Pinkerton. Illustrated with photographs. 

 With proper use the canoe is one of the safests crafts that floats. 

 Mr. Pinkerton tells how that state of safety may be obtained. He 

 gives full instructions for the selection of the right canoe for each 

 particular purpose or set of conditions. Then he tells how it should 

 be used in order to secure the maximum of safety, comfort and use- 

 fulness. His own lesson was learned among the Indians of Canada, 

 where paddling is a high art, and the use of the canoe almost as 

 much a matter of course as the wearing of moccasins. 



49. HORSE PACKING, by Charles J. Post. 



Illustrated with diagrams. This is a complete description of the 

 hitches, knots, and apparatus used in making and carrying loads of 

 various kinds on horseback. Its basis is the methods followed in the 

 West and in the American Army. The diagrams are full and detailed, 

 giving the various hitches and knots at each of the important stages 

 so that even the novice can follow and use them. It is the only 

 book ever published on this subject of which this could be said. 

 Full description is given of the ideal pack animal, as well as a cata- 

 logue of the diseases and injuries to which such animals are subject. 



50. RAINY DAY IN CAMP, by C. H. Claudy. 



Illustrated. What do you do when you are stormbound in the camp 

 and time hangs heavy on your hands ? This book gives a long list 

 of games that you can play and the rules that govern them. It also 

 describes various improvised indoor occupations appropriate to 

 camp life. If you have it in your duffle bag you need not fear the 

 approach of threatening clouds. 



51. WALKING OUTFITS, by C. P. Fordyce. 



Illustrated. Every year the adherents of "hiking" in this country 

 grow in numbers and enthusiasm. It is an old art and a valuable 

 one. But something more than a pair of legs is necessary to make 

 the walking trip a success. You must wear the right shoes and the 

 right clothes. You must carry with you the right kind of sleeping 

 and cooking outfit. Mr. Fordyce gives the concentrated experience 

 of many years on highway and trail. 



52. LEARNING TO SKATE, by J. F. Verne. 



Illustrated. Half the fun of skating is in knowing how to do if 

 with the least effort. Nothing is so easy when you know how or 

 so hard when you don't. This book describes the process in detail 

 from the first day on the ice to the highest development of 

 speed and fancy skating. The author is familiar with the latest 

 developments in Europe where figure skating has been carried to 

 a much higher point than id America.
