can of the male sex who
wouldn't object to a vaca
tion next summer with all
your expenses paid and
wages thrown In for good
measure. That being the
case, you should get In
touch with Uncle Sam at
Washington, I). C. Uncle
Sam, doubtless, will Insist
uiain calling this vacation
a Job at map making w ith the geologi
cal survey. But don't let the dear old
gentleman kid you.
Why, you'll go away off to some
wild bit of country snd cook at a
campfire and eat bacon and beans and
flapjacks off tin plntes and sleep In a
tent and bathe In a stream and fish
and hunt and ellmh mountains. Or
maybe, Instead of climbing mountnlns.
you’ll go deep Into some great forest
where It’s cool and dark and silent
and the giant trees meet overhead,
with Just a glimpse of the blue of the
sky. Maybe you'll travel by dog sled
over snow. Maybe you'll paddle down
a swift stream between canyon walls.
And maybe, If you stick long enough,
you'll do ull of these things and more
too.
And the surveyors don't make maps
In rainy weather; they can't.
And
rainy days ure when the fish bite best.
And when the woods are wet Is Just
the time to stalk deer. Why. I knew
one surveying ramp that had the most
remarkable adventure with a grizzly—
but that's another story and too long
to tell here. Health, strength, an ap

aren't vacation Joys, what are they?
And between you and me these

taking things as easy ns they can and
do their Job right. George Washing
ton, when he was surveying for Lord
Fairfax In Virginia, used to work
straight across country, taking things
as they came. But the topographic
engineers of these latter days can put
It all over George Washington—as a
surveyor. You see, they have new
fangled Instruments and methods. So
they Just ellmh the nearest mountain
— If there Is one— and map the sur

Why, these topographical engineers
are so fond of this sort of map making
that Uncle Sam picked out as their
boss a man of the name of Birdseye.
And he's made good on his name too.
