Good Eats are Half the Fun GOOD EATS ON TRIP DEPEND ON CAMP STOVE In considering the culinary parti of Ihe camper's outfits first comes! the matter uf stoves, b'or au ei-j tended trip both the gasoline a wood stoves can be used to good' advantage. While the gasoline stove I Is quicker and more efficient, a few campers prefer tho wood-burning stove. There Ja something akin to glory In cooking over an open fire and somehow meat broiled over a bed of coals lias a flavor that no other method of cooking can duplicate.

cooling an occasional meal over the open fire, a wire camp grid will ba found useful, It is made of heavy galvanized wire and Is reinforced with flat steel bars. Two small grids will serve the same purpose as a largo one and will require less carrying in many sections of the country open fires are prohibited, so even the camper who prefers the grid must provide himself with, some sort of gasoline stove. If a vote were taken among a number ot experienced campers with regard to camp stoves, the two-burner type gasoline stove with folding oven would gain" preference over any other typo of coolter. The gasoline stove is far superior to the wood-burning clove, as it eliminates the collection of firewood and does the bothersome smoke and as ho a nuisance. Then, too, there is no waiting for the stove to hot enough for cooking as provides quick heat and cooking fire and it is ready in two minutes after it has beeu lighted.

The oven is very efficient and can be used as i drum beater to warm the tont on a cold night. Extension legs may ba bad for this gasoline MQVI so that it vated qff thq ground to a more desirable and comfortable cooking position. Tha entire outfit when folded resembles a small suitcase, as it but IS inches long and weighs but pounds.

Regardless of the cooking matbod used, whether it be the gasoline stove or wood fire, use every precaution to prevent fires. In putting out your camp fire consider the slogan of the forest ranger; Be sure that your camp fire is dead-THEN BURY IT! Air Outlet Prevents Gas Tank Overflow Gasoline tanks usually overflow because no provision'is made for allowing UIQ air to eipol as tho gas is pumped in. This usually cau be avoided by seeing that tho nozzle isn't jammed down into the neck of the ta.nk, but- another precaution is advisable where the neck "is provided with a special section lo act as an air vent. In this type of neck there will he two divisions, one very much larger than the other. Malco sure that the nozzle directs the gas- olino into the larger one, otherwise ingoing gasoline and outgoing air will meet an overflow of the former.
