For that is the theme song of a new and .flourishing easy -money scheme—the "college racket", Young people, marc resourceful than scrupu- lous, are meeting the present ,financial situation in their own picturesque way. Happily, sufficient publicity is being given to their activities to put their prospective victims on guard. The theme song of this new racket might be: "I'm down from''college for the day." It seems to have made its initial appearance- in fashionable shops; then it spread to private homes. An executive in an important agency was interrupted at her desk by what her secretary termed "an ur,- ent personal call.",. And this was what Boated to her acro's's the wires: "Miss Taylor, of 13—'s store, speak- ing. Your niece has selected two suits, one at $11i1'5, the other at $145, 'While I'd be glad to help Miss (Elsa' de- cide, :considering the amount of mon- ey involved we thought you should be consulted. Do you want to ,invest 11415 or more ina suit for her?" A tactfully worded credit inquiry, you see, Which had the desired effect. The agency woman went into action. "Let hie get this straight. You say my. niece is in your store?" "Yes. She came down, from Vassar for the opera. She is very anxious to get away—the: curtain rises at 2." "Well, you keep her right there. I'm coming over.

'And this is what happened: iDuting the noon hour a well groomed young woman had walked briskly into the suit department ask- ing for Miss Taylor.

Organized et Banff and Lake Louise this season, the new order provided such happy,health- fill opportunities for hiking over the high passes, Alpine Meadows, and mountain trails of the Na- tional Parks of Canada, that de- votees of the outdoors throughout Canada and the United States are now singing its praises. The in- augural hike this year took a large party of enthusiasts, under the expert direction of Swiss Guides Ernest Fuez and Rudolf Aemmer, through Paradise Valley, over the, high trail past Lake An- nette, and over 'Sentinel Pass to Moraine Lake. The second ,day's journey took the 'hikers across the magnificent Wenlcchemna Gla- cier, and through the 'flower -deck- ed Wenkchemna Meadows, and finally over the show bound pass of that name to Eagle's Eyrie on Tokum Creels. The third day saw the conquest of Opabin Pass, some tricky work on theglaciers and finally the Lake O'Hara Bun- galow Camp. Hikes in the O'Hara country and the Pow Wow occu- pied the fourth clay, and the eight - mile hike to Wapta ended this truly historic expedition. Nor- man B. Sanson of Banff, is the President of'the new order„which is: now in full swing with stead- ily increasing membership. A four-day hike in the Yoho Valley will be one of the major activi- ties next summer. The picture lay -out well illus- trates the happy moments on the trail.
