Although beside casading water falls and under murmuring pines, the present day outdoor dweller prefers a hint of comfort even In the wilderness, according to obser vations of tho United States forest service.

Ho.'liutf a sneaking fondness for a small stove instead of a glowing bed of coals for his bacon and eggs. Kor this reason the lure of the privately operated pay citmp Is in creasing. The forest service Is en couraging thcobtainlng of permits for such camps where tourists can obtain the small comforts and lux uries they, desire and which the government can only meet with the simplest facilities.
