Dow Doll TniAfn ■ «J ■■Oil I UWII Best Walkers Make Best Citizens,** Say, Mayor of New York. today there »re no less than 8.000 hiking clubs In Greater New York. with a total membership of more than a quarter of a million men and wom en, who are keeping themselves In the pink of condition and experiencing the real joy of living by getting regularly out Into the open country with no oth er means of locomotion than their God- given lege. The city of New York has taken offi cial notice of the movement. On three occasions recently Mayor Dylan has congratulated the boys and girls of the public schools upon their enthusiasm In taking up the new sport of hiking In his dedication of the great new pub lic playground In the Bronx the other day Mayor Hylan extolled the athletic tendencies of the boys and girls and Impressed upon them that there was no better or more profitable way In which they could pass their vacations and utilize their holidays than by the excursions into field and forest of their walking clubs. He gave the same message to the Amateur Athletic (Ta lon of Brooklyn a few days later, and when a club of East Side boys and girls visited him at city hall preparatory to a hike to the tomb of Roosevelt at Oyster Bay he assured them that the i best walkers among them w-ould make the best citizens. Walk and Be Well No less enthusiastic a champion of the walking game Is Dr. Royal S. Copeland, city health commissioner. "The benefit to health and the safe guard to morals to be found In long walks.** said Dr. Copeland in an In terview. “are too apparent to speak of them. If one takes long walks alone It Is well, for he walks the road of health, but If he takes long walks In company It Is better for he adds the tonic of companionship to his exercise. Walking is the one form of exercise In which there Is the minimum risk of overdoing It. In short. I consider walking the most beneficial of all exer cises and It Is never out of season." “Never In my life-time," said Ed ward R. Wilbur, manager of a nation ally known sporting goods store, “have I known stKh a demand as now for out door garments and shoes and stock 1 Ings and appliances for the tourist's luncheon box. The rapid spread and tremendous popularity of the walking club Idea has no parallel In our ex- perlence. “The hiker ran make his requisite just what he feels like spending. Real , l.v, there arp only two or three articles i Indispensable to hiking—thick walking shoes that allow lots of room, thick woolen socks and clothing that will give freedom of limb.

Fortunately for the hiker, he can replenish his simple j larder at any cross-roads store and provide himself with the most nutri tious and appetizing food In a form that can be conveniently carried. “No single development In the prob lem of food transportation for the hunter, fisherman, hiker and all lover« of the out-of-doors can compare with the gift bestowed by the man who first found the way to make con denied milk, thereby putting a dairy in every man s knapsack Before long there will he a national association of hikers, and Gall Borden will be Its pa t»,»n saint. Such an association could do much to encourage the apread of the most beneficial and universal of all outdoor pastimes, map out Interesting routes, secure the establishment of shelters, rest-atatlons, and camp sites at suitable locations, and Inaure the rights of pedestrians on country rcada,"________ .
