Thousands of car owners are hitting the trail to go gypsying over ths country. And thousands more will join the procession every week through the touring season. Campâ€" ing was once a sport for men only. Now automobiles have opened up its fun and exhilaration to the entire family. People who formerly went to sumâ€" mer resorts, or hired cottages on lakes, now start out in their automeâ€" bile, pull up by a lake or streani, pitch camp and do thoir own cooking. 'l'hey, may linger there a few days, or suy‘ a month, fishing, swimming and enâ€"| joying themseives. Or they may bei moure ambitious and take a transâ€"‘ oontinental trip to the Pacific Co.st, or to Yollowstone Park. But one way or arcther, they camp out. ‘ Improvement in camping equipmenrt | has takon away the traditional d.s-' comfort of oldâ€"time camp life..

One teaspoonful of the Ileavvu is allowed for every cupful of ‘water. The water is boiling when poured over the tea, and is brought to the boiling point immediately before being used. After the desired amount of the leaves is measured, and placed in the pot, one cupful of boiling water is added and the lid is put on. Black tea is steeped three minutes; green tea, ten minutes. Then the leaves are removed and the rest of the water is added. I serve it immediately atâ€" ter it is prepared. of the range where it can keep hot but not boil.

There is one fundamental principle which seems to be neglected in these canoe incidents. The people that have the‘ accidents always seem to forget that the canoe is lighter than water, and will float until broken up by conâ€" tact with the shore.

If a canoe is tipped over by rough water or the wake of a passing boat, it is good practice for the occupants to turn it completely upside down and jJettison its cargo, If any. This leaves considerable air under the bottom of the canoe, and the erstwhile paddlers can float for an indefinite time by merely holding lightly to the gunâ€" walos. If there are three occupants one should be on each side of the canoe and one astern.
