other. The camp idea is further carried 
out by the display of hunting trophies on 
the walls. 
The treatment of the bedrooms is par¬ 
ticularly successful. Here the style is one 
of simplicity. The furniture is of spruce 
roughly planed, with tool marks showing. 
The covering and draperies are of chintz, 
and the wall decorations are confined to 
a simple coat of water-color on rough 
plaster. 
The plumbing is of the best character, 
and in the lath no attempt was made to 
strike any note other than that of simple 
practicability, and there is no suggestion 
of the “Old Oaken Bucket” or the tin 
basin. 
The main camp, as will be seen from 
the plans, contains five bedrooms and 
two baths, while provision is made for a 
large overflow of guests by two bed¬ 
rooms and bath in the boat house. The 
son of the family has his own quarters, 
consisting of a bedroom and bath, with 
living-room and billiard room nearby. 
The servants have separate quarters ac¬ 
commodating eight, while the laundry, 
ice house and storeroom are all in sepa¬ 
rate buildings. 
A common mistake in building a camp 
in the woods is frequently made in the 
treatment of the grounds surrounding the 
place. 
At Hukweem the dominating idea was 
to see how little, rather than how much, 
could be done. Instead of clearing off a 
large space for lawns, only a very small 
area immediately in front of and on the 
south side, where the entrance turn was 
built, was cleared. Elsewhere the native 
shrubs — huckleberries, kalmia, young 
spruce, viburnums, mountain ash, ferns, 
wild orchids and every species of natural 
ground covering were left undisturbed. 
The camp is set back almost 300 feet 
from the lake, and it was necessary to 
cut certain views or vistas to the lake and 
distant mountains. These views were 
carefully selected, and all the poplars, 
locally called popple, were first cut out. 
These are at least short-lived trees and 
undesirable—then such other trees as 
were necessary were cut down or their 
limbs trimmed so that instead of one 
view of the lake and mountains, there are 
many, and each one a different picture. 
This method also tends to conceal the 
camp from the lake to a very great ex¬ 
tent, making it more retired and sug¬ 
gestive of a “camp.” Trails or paths 
were then cut through the underbrush 
and the bare earth exposed by grubbing 
out the thickly matted ground cover. 
These trails were then covered with pine 
needles, which prevent the growth of 
weeds or plants to a large extent in the 
paths. The idea of sticking close to 
nature does not preclude all the artifices 
necessary to the comfort and enjoyment 
of man, and a tennis court was success¬ 
fully attained by clearing and grading a 
naturally level part of the grounds in a 
place when it is not seen from the camp

Goodrich Treacl Tires 
Best in the Long Run 
Goodrich puts safety in the tread—sure-steering and sure-stopping on slippery 
streets and oozy roads—skid-stopping safety which makes the brake effective. 
Goodrich construction carries that safety principle through and through the tire. 
There is no sound reason for your paying more than the Goodrich schedule for any high-grade tire:
