should be taken not to edge the skis too 
much at first. As you toe in the skis, 
see to it that this is not overdone as the 
turned ends of the ski may strike to- 
gether. 
When one has accomplished good 
braking form he is ready to try turn- 
ing. This combines both the edging of 
the ski as well as leaning to right or 
left with the body weight. If you are 
making a right turn, you lean toward 
the right, bringing the weight of the 
body more over the right ski. The body 
should incline forward at all times. 
After you have made successful glides 
down hill the question usually comes as 
to just how you are going to get back 
up to the top of the hill. Possibly the 
easiest way is to take a course diagon- 
ally across the slope, then turn and 
tack back up along the slope a little 
higher on each tack. This is a long 
way around and one can save time by 
learning to climb sideways up the slope; 
this is done in two ways. The Herring- 
bone method one first turns both skis 
outward at such an angle as will pre- 
vent backsliding and then lifting one 
ski at a time over and forward of the 
other ski. After repeating this for 
some time one will get the nack. The 
path looks like a herring-bone, which 
accounts for the name given this method 
of climbing upon skis. Another method 
is climbing sideways and one first takes 
a position sidewise to the slope of the 
hill with both skis parallel. One ski is 
lifted above the other up the hill. This 
is repeated until the slope has been ne- 
gotiated. It is nothing, more or less, 
than side-stepping up the hill.

Friends of Mankind 
By DouGLAS ENGLISH 
Mr. English, who is a distinguished 
British authority on animals and ani- 
mal life as well as an internationally 
famous photographer of animals, traces 
the history of the farmer back to our 
ape-like ancestors, describes the changes 
the centuries have made in the ‘shapes, 
sizes and habits of animals, pictures the 
“Great Hunting Era” which lasted 
over 40,000 years in Europe, discusses 
the localities in which our domestic 
breeds—cows, goats, sheep, poultry, 
dogs, pigs, cats, horses, etc.—originated 
and tells us how they came to their 
present forms and uses, and above all 
makes the story interesting and fas- 
cinating as a romance.

It Fits the Running 















There is not a single moving part in the new Elto Pump. Yet 
a flood of water flows constantly through the cooling system. 
It never fails.) The rudder openings scoop up the water as 
the motor runs, straining it to keep out clogging materials. The whirl- 
ing Propeller Blades push and force the water into circulation. Once 
started, the water siphons continuously. 
Works Perfectly at all Speeds—and in all Waters 
Slow down to a fish-getting trolling speed, or open up the throttle wide 
for a race; go anywhere in muddy or sandy water—fresh or salt. As 
long as your engine is running, you know the Propello Pump is working. No 
more sticking valves. No more clogging pipes. No more over-heated engines. 
No more expensive repairs. 
Other Elto advantages are 60% More Power, Much More Speed, Least Weight per 
Horse Power, Instant Starting Every Time, Push Button Reverse, Safe Rudder 
Steering, Larger Bearings, Sturdier Working Parts, Longer Life. Write for catalog.
