No poison-pollen of Old orld imperialism ^one to seed can

tom, back and cover flap. Two webb 
belts, such as are worn by the soldiers, 
when fastened at one point in the middle 
of the top of the back and the two lower 
opposite points of the bottom form the 
shoulder straps. Tie strings will hold 
the flap in front. The pack sack can be 
made as finely as you wish it, with in- 
serted sides, taped edges, outside pockets 
and adjustable straps. Everything in 
hiking is a matter of individual taste. 
Hiking, as well as all of the outdoor 
sports, exercises one’s individuality. 
Into this pack may go whatever pots 
and utensils you may care to borrow from 
the kitchen. Just take the things you 
would absolutely need, such as coffee pot, 
extra small pot, sauce pan, fry pan, cups, 
plates, knives, forks and spoons. Any- 
thing will serve the purpose until you 
can’t resist buying the proper outfit. And 
the latter is inexpensive too. 
Let us open the pack sack in the comer 
yonder. It belongs to a couple who spend 
every week-end out of doors. Here is a 
set of small food bags of various sizes 
according to the proportionate bulk of 
food stuffs. They resemble duffle bags in 
shape, with straight sides, inserted bot- 
toms and throats with tie strings. They 
are made of closely wmven, white cotton 
sheeting (balloon silk) and are neatly 
labeled with the name of the ingredient. 
The salt and pepper bag is a two-in-one 
holder. It is stitched up the center in 
order to divide the condiments. The 
utensil bag is a series of three pockets, 
one each for knives, spoons and forks, 
with pot lifter, can opener, etc., divided 
among the rest. This bag is rolled and 
tied. Here is a bag, shaped like a large 
envelope, containing maps, note books, 
pencils, etc. Another small but elongated 
bag contains “fire dogs.” These as well 
as the pots are “housed” in bags to pre- 
vent the pot black from smearing soot on 
everything else. The “fire dogs” are in- 
dispensable. These are made (as illus- 
trated) of bands of soft iron 3/32 in. 
thick and % inch wide. The over-all 
length of each dog, folded, is 16 in. and 
the legs about 10 in. The “fire dogs” 
can be bought for a dollar or made for 
25 cents. 
The pot bag contains three bail- 
handled pails together with two cups, all 
nesting inside the largest pail which is 
nine inches in diameter and eight inches 
high. The pots are of heavy block re- 
tinned steel but light in weight. These 
are found in the kitchenw'are section of 
any department store and are known as 
“Kraemer wear.” One of the smaller 
pots can be used for either tea or coffee. 
. No spout is necessary.
