THE DISH MOP IN CAMP. 
While the camper’s mind is apt to dwell 
on the feeds he plans to satisfy the outing 
appetite rather more than on other features 
of the culinary department, still some 
thought for the dishwashing to follow 
should not be out of place in his arrange¬ 
ments. 
When on light equipment the problem 
of washing dishes with no larger pan than 
a coffee pail or small stew kettle may be 
simply solved by 
the use of a small 
dish mop. With the 
aid of a pair of pliers 
or other instrument 
the dish may be held 
and swabbed with 
boiling hot water 
without utensil, mop 
or water touching 
the hands. 
Speaking of pliers 
brings up the fact 
that a cheap pair of 
these instruments in¬ 
cluded in the camp outfit will be found by the 
camper to be the handiest tool in the pack 
for a hundred and one odd uses. Once 
tried they are indispensable. To add to 
their usefulness, the top of one handle may 
be bent in the form of a small hook to lift 
cooking pails from the fire by the bail. ' 
SHIPPING TAG HOLDER. 
Do you ship your canoe often? If so 
you have possibly noticed that tags are 
easily torn off, as well as unavailable at 
times. My duffle bags have now and then 
strayed far from destination simply through 
the detachment of both tags. I also know 
of cases where canoes have been lost for 
all time, possibly through this same cause. 
I have safeguarded mine against “stray¬ 
ing” in the future by securely tacking a 
piece of stout transparent celluloid, 3 inches 
by 5 inches, to the center of a conspicuous 
part of the canoe (you can use a thwart, 
deck or bottom board), allowing one side 
to remain open for the insertion of a sup¬ 
ply of cards, the top one having the con¬ 
signee's name and point of destination. 
I made others for the duffle bags by ce¬ 
menting and binding two pieces of celluloid 
together similar to a baggage check holder, 
having a hole in the open end for the in¬ 
sertion of a thong which is tied to a handle 
of the bag. The thong also keeps the tag 
from falling out. This time the reverse side 
of the card reads: “fragile—please handle 
with care—use no hooks.” 
I do everything I can to make it easy for 
the railroads, hoping they will make it easy 
for us. But there are always the transfer 
points, where cheap labor moves freight for 
so much a hundred-weight and wrecks the 
majority of the sportsmen’s outfits. When 
wih the railroads wake up to that?

TO LIFT A HOT PAN 
It is better to be careful than’ sorry, as 
the manufacturers of a clever device for 
lifting a hot pan off the fire remind their 
customers in a circular sent along with 
the lifter. The illustration explains its 
construction, and it may be added that the 
lifter is arranged to grip any style pan, 
flat or with either straight-up or sloping 
sides. It takes such a firm hold that the 
pan can not slip or twist even if the con¬ 
tents are heavier on one side than the 
other. 
Such a lifter should solve the average 
camper’s thrice-a-day problem of how to 
get that hot pan off the fire without 
scorching his fingers—or his hat. And as 
it is finished in polished steel it is easy to 
keep clean and can be used for flapjack 
juggling and tossing fried fishflesh as well 
as for pan lifting. It weighs only ten 
ounces, and can therefore claim a nook in 
almost any camp kit. 
ROCKAHOMINY, THE IDEAL “CHUCK” 
Among those who are compelled to go 
extremely light in the wilderness, where 
every item of one’s outfit must be carried on 
his back, the question of nourishing food of 
small bulk and weight is of the greatest im¬ 
portance. 
Pemmican, the great reliance of the 
Arctic traveller, does not seem to suit the 
needs of the greater part of our country, 
and its price is also a real consideration. 
Dehydrated vegetables and soups, such as 
erbswurst, are excellent but require some 
time for their preparation. For him who 
must travel rapidly and lightly nothing yet 
invented by modern civilization can surpass 
what has been the standby of the Indians 
from prehistoric days, and the main reliance 
of the hardy pioneers of our own country. 
This is rockahominy, also called pinole in 
Mexico and the Southwest.
