Some Follow the Summer; Some Sport in the Smrw. By JOHN DICKIN80N 8HERMAN was--and not so very long ago, as any old-timer will tell you--when H ..... the American had yet to form the J vacation habit. But before we realized It, the summer vucatlon had come, had found favor and had become a fixture. Next the American people discovered that a vacation did not necessarily have to be en- Joyed In the summer. Nowadays the United States has so many people and they have so much money that thousands ure playing all over the country at any time of the year. In the summer, a large proportion cf the vacationists start off in the old flivver and head for the national parks of the Scenic West and other wild places. Thanksgiving day they are back home and the winter crowd is getting ready to start right after the holidays for the warm lands. The fact that any day of the year sees thousands at outdoor play somewhere in the country is one of the things that gives encouragement to the sociologists. They figure that our Twentieth century civilization is altogether too fast and furious and complex to be safe. They do not hesitate to declare that If It were not for the popularity of outdoor recreation the country would go straight to the "demnitlon bow-wows." Induce any physician to speak his real mind and he will say something about like this: Tou aee, all tha conditions of our modern city life are artificial. We don't eat when we should nor what we phould; we don't set enough sleep, and, above all, we don't set sufficient exercise and ?~eah air. Moreover, we are all the time keeping ) a tremendous, killing pace. The truth Is no imtn being can lead a safe and sane life without • ie country. God made the country--made it to k>»ep us balanced and wholesome. One thing I do know, there is nothing in the world like the country for jangled nerves, and there Is nothing lika ii*e country to keep your nervea from becoming Jangled. There are.'vf course, other aspects to the situation. One of these is the fact our national char-' acter has largely been built up on the out-of-doors, tl^was the men and women who marched across th£ continent who gave us our outlook on life as a priceless heritage. They bequeathed to us courage, simplicity, self-reliance and efficiency. Now the frontiers have gone, one after another. Soft living and physical comfort have come to bulk large in the scheme of life of most of us. And too much of them is bad for us. Life In the open, the right kind of isport and play, make for both health and character. Any normal man or woman cornea back from it better physically and morally. It's a curious thing, but the wilderness tries nut s man as does nothing else. If a man'has a yellow streak or a selfish streak In him, It will out in the "silent places." Per contra, camping, angling, mountaineering, life in the open--all teach fundamentals of life that make up character. And It is very evident that the American people need such teaching. At present their outdoor manners'are unbelievably bad. They seem to have little sense of responsibility or of sportsmanship. They litter up the countryside, pollute the waters?-- hack down trees and are criminally careless with fire. Probably there is no keener student of the American people and of the times than President Coolldge. So the National Conference on Outdoor Recreation that he called last year is significant And In calling the conference he put the situation clearly when he said, among other things: The physical vigor, moral strength, the ctaaa simplicity of mind of the American people can be immeasurably furthered by the properly developed opportunities for the life In the open afforded bjr our forests, mountains, and waterways. Life In ihe open is a great character builder. From such life much of the American spirit of freedom springs. Furthering the opportunities of all for anch Ufa ranks in the general class with education. In order to handle this matter properly, to adftmt the widely separated viewpoints And Interlock the Interests concerned efficiently, there should be a definite and clearly prescribed national policy. The whole matter, being nation-wide l«r its scope, demands such handling. The object to be secured should therefore be to promulgate a nation*, policy which should not merely co-ordinate under federal guidance alt activities In behalf of outdoor recreation but also formulate a program to serve as a guide for future action. Jhe conference was attended by delegates reprcwrntlnt 135 wrganlzaLiuca. ninny of them of na- Croup Means Danger!

These delegates effected ft permanent organization and adopted a set of res»» lutlons setting forth a tentutlve national recreSH tlon policy. Right now, the crowds of winter vacationist# throng the beaches and polf links from Miami to Coronado Beach--clear across the continent. And they are of all kinds--people of money and social position; people who are Just drifting to keep out of reach of cold weather. Expensive hotels and club houses care for the one kind; auto camps for the other. This auto camp, by the way. Is a coa* paratively new thing; it evolved from the fact that all the world Is awheel nowadays. You 80s, all these motorists spend money--some more, soma less. So It got to the point-where every self-respecting town on ihe much-traveled highways had to have an auto camp to bid for its share of tour- 1st patronage. How many of these auto camps there are no one cun say. But the 1924-5 official camping nnd camp-site manual of the Americas Automobile association lists nearly 2,000. These people who follow the summer are all motorists. Some travel all the way by car; so roe ship their cars; some buy or rent cars after arrival. You'll find every possible kind of car--many of which are in no catalogue. The "House os Wheels,™ a home-made production, is a common sight. Also you will see natty motor coaches-- a cross between a city sight-seeing bus and a railroad parlor car--containing personally conducted tourists from a big city a thousand miles away. Yes; the day of surprises In motor vehicles is past In the auto camps of the country. As to the number of the vehicles-- It's guesswork. California's Share at Christmas time was about 700 cars a day. In Florida one camp midway down the coast registered 7,000 cars during the winter months 1023-4. In the Miami camps the cars at times are packed in so tightly that there Is scarcely room to Hr-gCkS$TtT&f* in their country homes and keeping open house. The week-enders make necessary trains of two and three sections. Every community of any pep at all has its municipal Ice nnd slide and so on and a "winter sports carnival." Maine alone has Six or eight scheduled for January and February. In New York the Adlrondacks are popular. Lake l'lacid will have throngs of snow-players all winter. Saratoga and Plattsburg are advertising carnivals. The White mountains are popular. Verhiont and New Hamiwhlre are gay. Thousands, Including the girl scouts, are making a winter playground of the Palisades Interstate park along the Hudson. On the other edge of the continent there are thousands playing In the snows of the national parks. Mount Rainier will see parties of hardy mountaineers all winter, but Its Joy time comes late--why, they carry their sport clear into July, when the International ski tournament Is held, Yosemite is an all-year nutionul park. Yosemite -valley is the sport center. Winter visitors will be in evidence until March. Rocky Mountain Is another national park that Is officially open all the year around. The sport center Is Fern lake, with Odessa close by. The two lakes are tucked away on the East Slope right In under the giant peaks of the Continental Divide. They are natural winter playgrounds, apparently fashioned for the purpose by Nature herself. There is plenty of snow. In February', the peak of the season, you ski or snowshoe up among the branches of the pines and firs. And It's the real thing getting there. You can go part way by motor. Then the road quits and you have to hil the trail under your own i>ower. What's more, the snow Is too deep for a pack horse, so duffel and grub have to be hauled In by toboggan. Did you ever hit a trull on snowsboes in eight feet of snow through the pine benches, drugging a toboggan? >io? Well, It's an experience worth having. Did you ever eat a picnic lunch beside the trail on top of eight feet of snow, with a fire and hot eats an' everything No? Well, that's worth doing too-- something you can boast about, y' know. And how "about living In log houses, with natural slides al the door and the lake ip front? walk. These camps all make a charge--usually^-, The decrees of- fashion are mysterious beyond about 86 cents a night for transients and fl.JMl^'^guessing; today it's one thing nnd tomorrow the ww«e«elkr ffnorr rpwenmnmannepnnttss. Whir-h cnirtrpatR tiip miPRtion • Has this These winter visitors have invested so much money In Florida real estate that the etate has Just passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting the levying of Inheritance and Income taxes. Flop, ida has about a million population. It flgures oa doubling this million in the next decade. In part through this amendment One feature of the spectacle of the United States at play today Is really new. It is the fact that right now there are thousands st play In the snow --from Maine to California. These people who are playing in the snow sort of look down, don't yon know, on the people who follow the summer. Tlfoy are redblooded and proud of It They love the "recurrent miracle of the spring"; the "good old summertime"; the Indian summer days. But not least do they love the days when Jack Frost Is undisputed king of a world of white. They see In King Jack a friend Indeed--no enemy. The.v declare It is his reigh that hardens up the fiber of man and woman and brings them to full stature body, mind and soul. It was only two or three years ago that every fall the New England countryside said farewell to tha "resorters," closed up the hotels and country club* and prepared to hibernate till next season. City peopl« arty had country estates boarded up tha opposite. Which suggests the question: Has this .'winter sport In the snow come to stay? Probably It has. In the East Its continuance depends on popular favor and individual initiative. But in the national parks of the West the federal government Is back of It. Chicago, half way between, gives us a hint. There Cook county has invested a lot of money In many thousands of acres of forest preserves, which are extensively used in the summer time, as might be expected Now, under the auspices of the county commlsnioners, winter Sports are In full swing--and popular. As to the probable future of these winter sports In the snow, the country over: This friendly tussle with Jack frost appeals .to the pioneer blood In us. And the women are strong for It. They realize that a fetching wirrter sports costume is Just about the most looming thing a fine young American woman can put on her fine young American body. Apparently the young American men think po too. And, after all, in the business of seeking mates, the tine young American man is predisposed -toward health and strength and good sportsman- Ship in woman. So, Inasmuch as getting married Is every normal woman's real business. It looks as If the women of the country might be the best boosters of winter sports In the snow.
