couple of canvas floding pails also 
ought to be a part of the equipment. 
There are a lot of extras in the line of 
equipment that you can buy and will 
probably do so during your first years 
of camping, but as you gain experience 
you will find that your outfit will get 
down to about the above number of units 
I have mentioned. You might think 
that the sailcloth top mentioned was an 
extra that could be done away with, but 
I find that it has so many different uses 
that it is well worth the space it takes 
up in the luggage. You can get elab- 
orate camping ice boxes which are con- 
venient, but they usually are bulky un- 
less you can get one of the folding types. 
I use the folding water pail for the ice 
box and place layers of newspapers over 
the top of it after setting it in a shady 
spot and one which will be open to any 
breeze. The water will very slightly 
ooze through the pores and the breeze 
will evaporate any moisture on the out- 
side, so that the ice water is kept from 
warming up as fast as if you did not ex- 
pose the pail to the breeze. I also place 
canned goods in holes dug in the ground 
to keep them cool and put the butter and 
milk in the water-pail of ice. 
Now that we have so many types of 
Thermos bottles, liquids can be kept 
cool. An old trick of mine to have cool 
drinking-water was to get an earthen- 
ware or pottery jug, fill it full of water, 
and at night wrap around its sides a 
woolen cloth soaked in water; set the jug 
in the breeze over night and you would 
be sure to have cool drinking-water in 
the morning. This is a principle as old 
as the hills and one which is used on the 
desert caravans even to-day. The water 
evaporating fast in the breeze from the 
wet woolen cloth cools the sides of the 
jug. The earthenware jug, being por- 
ous, would allow water to slightly go 
through its pores to the woolen, keeping 
the cloth damp and continually evap- 
orating, which means continually cool- 
ing the sides of the jug as long as there 
is any breeze.

A COMMENDABLE PROJECT 
jV/l R. J. LOVELL JOHNSON, Presi- 
iVl dent of the Iver Johnson’s Arms & 
Cycle Works, started a private wild 
game sanctuary last summer. He pur- 
chased a farm containing several acres 
of marsh land and a large spring-fed 
pond. After building a bungalow and 
garage, and putting in a cement dam 
with gate and spillway so as to control 
the pond level, he had wild rice and wild 
celery planted to furnish food for the 
wild-fowl that congregate there, and is 
now planning the liberation of several 
pair of wild ducks of the species that 
usually nest in this latitude. 
His plan is to furnish a refuge for mi- 
grating birds and a safe place for them 
to rest and multiply if they wish to tarry, 
and woe betide any one who fires a shot- 
gun or rifle on this property. He enjoys 
seeing wild life, and to use his words, 
“They are to be safe while my guests, 
and after continuing their w'amderings 
they will have to take their chances with 
the sportsman.” 
The New Remington 
Oil-Proof Cartridges 
For your Automatic Pistol 
No misfires from ruined powder or 
deadened primer* 
T he oil necessary to lubricate an automatic 
pistol works its way slowly but surely into the 
inside of the brdmary cartridge, first weakening the 
powder and finally killing the primer 
These new Remington Oil-Proof Cartridges are 
positively sealed against oil and wet, both at the 
primer and at the mouth of the shell — an ex- 
clusive Remington process. 
Remington Oil-Proof Cartridges are manufac- 
tured for all standard makes of automatic pistols 
and cost no more than the ordinary kind. 
A good pistol gets the most out of a 
good cartridge 
For the sportsman who knows the value of a dependable 
side arm outfit on all trips, wc recommend the use of these 
new Oil-Proof Cartridges with the Remington Model 51 
Automatic Pistol (.32 or .380 caliber). This Automatic 
Pistol is light, compact and completely safe.
