TIRED OF THE SWEATER. 
New York, July 3, 1916. 
Editor Nessmuk’s Campfire: 
I am sick of the sweater. Ever since, as a kid, 
I began to read Forest and Stream, it has been 
dinned into m> ears and head, “Take a sweater 
with you to camp.” I have done so invariably. 
1 know all the good about sweaters—and all the 
bad also. I will not discuss the former, or cuss 
the latter quality here, but suffice it to say that 
the sweater and I have parted company. There 
is made in this country somewhere, although the 
average sportsman would never know it if lie 
waited to read about it in the advertising columns 
of the outdoor press—a garment known as the 
beach coat, which is a close fitting garment, but¬ 
toning up the front with snap buttons, and with 
four or five pockets, also closing with snaps. 
The material on the outside is a firm, smootli 
cloth, and on the inside is apparently fleece-lined. 
The coat is so cheap that I doubt whether it 
would pass an all-wool or even half-wool test, but 
it is snug and warm when buttoned and not 
warm when worn open. The coat is not guar¬ 
anteed waterpioof, but it will hold a barrel of 
water, apparently, before leaking through, and in 
that respect, as in many others, has the sweater 
“backed off the map.” 
Some day the fellows who make these kinds of 
coats will awake to their opportunity, and begin 
to tell sportsmen about them, but, on second 
thought, it may be that so many wise ones are 
grabbing them up that there is no need of ad¬ 
vertising. 
At any rate, the man who wants the comfort 
of a real coat, and has grown tired of the 
sweater, which is not a woods garment, and never 
was, ought to know that there is something bet¬ 
ter. No, I won’t tell you where. The makers 
might get down on me and refuse to sell me 
another.

LEFT LEGGEDNESS. 
I T is a familiar fact that a person lost in the 
woods or on the prairie wanders around in 
circles to the right. The reason is found in 
the demonstrated fact that the human race is 
right-handed and left-legged. That is, the left 
leg is stronger than the right one; and the con¬ 
stant tendency, because of the greater activity 
of the left leg and the longer stride taken with 
it, is to bear to the right. Locomotion is a con¬ 
tinuous pedestrian match between the right leg 
and the left one, and the left is continually getting 
ahead. As has been said, the left-leggedness 
complements the right-handedness of the major¬ 
ity of the race; and per contra, it has been dem¬ 
onstrated that left-handed persons are right¬ 
legged, and in walking bear to the left. From 
which may be drawn the useful hint that if a 
right-handed person and a left-handed person 
shall yoke up together they will probably steer a 
straight course through the densest woods on 
the darkest night.
