Comfort was never better! 
S NATCH a couple of days away from the 
grind, grab your golf clubs, of course, 
and come on down, or up, as the case may be, 
to Old Point Comfort, and try your game on 
the Eighteen Hole Golf Course which is part 
of Hotel Chamberlin. 
The Golf Course is one of the finest ever; designed 
and laid out by authorities on the “ Royal and 
Ancient ” Game — convenient to the hotel, and, be¬ 
ing owned by The Chamberlin, it is managed in a 
way which will suit you. You can also Tennis, Horse¬ 
back or Motor. The air and sun are just right to 
make you enjoy the famous real Southern Cooking. 
But perhaps the most fascin¬ 
ating side of all is the Social 
Life, for here mingle Society 
and the Army, Naval and! 
Aeronautical representatives of 
our own country, and those of 
our Allies, as nowhere else on 
the continent. 
This, also, is the place to take 
“ The Cure,” with every sort 
of Bath Treatment at your conr- 
mand. 
You will be interested, in our special booklet on “Golf,” as it contains 
the first Aeroplane Map of a Golf Course ever published in America.

all} definitely specified. Beyond the law 
and the regulations they cannot go. 
We may take it for granted that the For¬ 
est Service would be glad to keep sheep out 
of the forest reserves, but the sheepmen 
apply to their Congressmen, Congressmen 
go to the Secretary, the Secretary summons 
his Chief Forester or Sub-Deputy Chief 
Forester, and says, “Congressman Smith 
wants this, that or the other thing, and I 
wish you would let him have it if you can.’* 
The unfortunate official of the Forest Ser¬ 
vice, who thus is more or less between the 
devil and the deep sea, will undoubtedly 
strain all the points he can to oblige the 
Secretary and the Congressman. Usually, 
the forestry official does not himself know 
the precise conditions in a particular section 
of country and has to depend on reports 
from other people. There is a general be¬ 
lief throughout the country that in the De¬ 
partments at Washington everything is 
known about all possible subjects in the 
United States, but this impression is quite 
erroneous. 
Besides being absolutely unjust and un¬ 
gracious, it is absolutely useless to criticise 
subordinate officials for conditions which 
are wholly beyond their control. The only 
help for this condition of the elk of the 
Yellowstone Park lies with Congress and 
Congress feels no interest in the subject. 
It is even doubtful whether Congress can 
do anything to relieve the situation. As I 
have shown, you have a number of animals 
constantly increasing in an area which so 
far as food conditions go is ever contract¬ 
ing. My personal view is that a point will 
finally be reached where the number of elk | 
in the Yellowstone Park will have to be re¬ 
duced at intervals to a point where they can 
be cared for like park deer. To announce 
this belief is, of course, to invite angry 
criticism from many people, who, in my 
modest opinion know much less about the 
subject than I do. . 
DRY FLY FISHING 
\ 
(continued from page 347) 
H AVING satisfied yourself that you 
have enough line out make the true 1 
cast and as soon as the line is on 
the water gently raise the point of the rod 
in order to keep the line fairly straight or ] 
tight, but do not do this so quickly as to j 
make the fly move on the surface of the 
water, as this will thoroughly scare the 
trout because the fly is doing a very un¬ 
natural thing when it “drags” itself along 1 
the surface of the water. 
If the fish does not take the fly as it 
floats over him let it continue floating down 
three false casts in order to dry the fly and 
throw off any moisture that is on the reel . 
line and repeat the cast. 
At the second cast we will presume that 
the trout takes your fly. Do not strike vio¬ 
lently; tighten your grasp on the rod and ! 
that is frequently sufficient to drive the 
barb home. 
Get down stream of the fish and always 
try to keep below the fish. Do not stand 
up and advertise your presence to the fish 
but keep out of sight as much as possible 
and bring the fish within reach of your 
landing net as soon as possible. 
Put on as much strain as you think the
