pretty nearly completed except for their 
most important factor—they aren’t water¬ 
proofed yet. Here’s how. 
Get from your druggist a pound box oi 
“Socony” paraffine, which sells for ten 
cents. Rub the paraffine on the cloth side 
only, being careful not to come near the 
glued tape, for it may come off. Rub this 
paraffine on well, using plenty of elbow

of Poncho 
grease until every part of the cloth is filled 
up. With a warm iron, pass it over the 
cloth side; the paraffine will melt and sink 
into the cloth and through the paper. Any 
excess paraffine can be taken off by placing 
the iron over a cloth placed over the map 
section. 
Your maps are now complete and they 
should be carried in a paraffined cloth 
pocket with a key map that you make 
yourself so that your sections won’t look 
like an Egyptian puzzle to you when you 
get rattled when lost. 
Making a Poncho .—The store affair 
costs, in good quality, anywheres from 
three to five dollars and weighs something 
like four or five pounds. Come to think 
of it! Lugging four or five pounds of 
cloth to spread your blanket on! Gentle¬ 
men, here’s a home-made article, costing 
63 cents exactly, and just tips the scale at 
31 ounces. Again run to your dry goods 
man and get four yards of heaviest un¬ 
bleached sheeting which comes one yard 
wide, weighs 5V2 ounces to the yard and 
costs 14 cents a yard. Then get one-haif 
yard separately of the same material. Be¬ 
fore you proceed any further, paraffine the 
whole thing well. 
Fold the 4-yard strip lengthwise and 
cut it into two equal pieces. Sew these 
pieces together, leaving an opening in the 
center 4 inches long by 10 inches wide and 
hem the raw edges in. Now cut a flap 
to fit over this opening 8 by 14 inches and 
double stitch it at AB in the diagram. At 
C and D cut out 2 small holes about Y2- 
inch long and buttonhole stitch them (or 
sew them any way you know how) so that 
they won’t rip out and sew 2 buttons on 
for these holes so that the flap will button 
down over the 4-inch slit, which is to poke 
your head through. Along two edges, hem 
in one inch of cloth and sew a galvanized 
ring in each corner; this makes it suitable 
for setting it up as a one-night shelter 
when you’re caught out alone. Fold the 
poncho diagonally, stake out the three 
corners, pass a light rope through the other 
grommet and tie to an overhanging limb
