Watkins ing in following a footpath. Perhaps it is a faint, subcon scious throwback to the long- ago time in human history when - a path was the only thoroughfare from. one. place to another. The original path makers or trail blazers never heard of the straight line -being the shortest possible distance be tween two points. They wan dered all over the map, cir cling trees, around swamps and high elevations. Those old trails - followed the line of least resistance. Creatures, Too Nearly all creatures who have the power to move, fol low paths. Even birds follow invisible "paths" through the air. Ships at sea follow a path that only exists on the charts in the pilot house, but it is a path nonetheless. Animals follow paths to food, shelter, to a mate or to a water hole. Some game trails have been used by ani mals almost since the begin ning, generation after genera tion over the selfsame path, until, the trail may become as deep as a ditch. The early American Indians crisscrossed America with paths, many of which later became railroads or motor highways. Those primitive Americans often followed those paths, even though enemies waited along the courses. Habit was strong, even in the wary red man. Never Given Up Domestic animals such as sheep, cattle, ducks, geese and others have never given up the path idea. On the way homeward they line up in single file and follow one another home." Wild animals in their native forest, tundra or jungle follow the same pro cedure. In most cases a well- worn path makes life a little easier. Without reasoning the cause, they are all following the line of least resistance on a highway their predecessors have trod. Game trails have been found worn deep and smooth, where feet "long since gone have left their imprint and generations yet unborn will also follow, unless something happens to desloy the old way of life" that was the pattern of the coming or the going. Today, modern man has little : use ' for' the : old paths. He uses a sidewalk or a pave ment. But still, in some isolat ed instances, in this great big wonderful land of .ours, as well as in many other corners of the globe, there are other ; men and women whose bare feet know only the feel of the k familiar footpath. They, too, are following the most beau tiful path in the world the path that leads to home.
