substantial clothing and low

is a good thing to carry instead
of a coat. Rubbers, too, are very
often necessary.
So you see it does not require
much equipment and fussing,
and once you have tried it you
will find that camp fits into the
scheme of modern psychology,
which teaches that change of
mental attitude rests tired nerv-

faster than drugs of medicine.
Those who have tried camping
know that no other kind of vaca-

a week-end—so quickly scatters
all worries and nerves—so quick-
ly restores the realization that
life is made for health, happi-

high-powered finale to a series of

their beginning when Jack Holt, hero
of the picture, comes into open and
