AN OPEN SEASON 225 



in any other month. Colds are caught mostly 

 in a house, by those who live with windows closed 

 and who eat enough for a camper without being 

 one. 



Years ago, when much of the outdoors was 

 considered of low value, many people camped 

 in the Yellowstone Park. In such a sloppy con- 

 dition did they leave camps that the soldiers 

 who cleaned up these camps called them "pig 

 pens." But boy campers are becoming more 

 numerous. Scouts, woodcrafters, and camp- 

 fire girls understand wild life and set good ex- 

 amples by leaving camping places in clean con- 

 dition. 



I was following the trail of some friendly 

 Indians several years ago, and was to get a pair 

 of moccasins which they were to leave near 

 camp, in a tree. After two hours' search the 

 moccasins were discovered dangling from a tree 

 limb. Although about a dozen Indians had 

 spent two nights and a day in camp, so careful 

 had they been, so completely had they cleaned 

 the place, that I could not be certain just where 

 this camp site was.
