| Transcript | THE ZEPHYR Monthly Bulletin of the Outdoor Nature Club of Houston, Texas. April, 1926 Vol. 3, No. 4 To him who in trie love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks. A various language: for his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty; and. she glides Into his darker musings with a mild And healing sympathy that steals away Their sharpness ere he is aware. — Bryant. Plans for the v/ild flower caravan to be sponsored by the Houston Post-Dispatch are rapidly taking definite form, and a week of inspiring recreation is assured for all who go a-gipsying westward with the Outdoor Nature Club on this trip. News items from points along the route to be traversed state that the display of wild flowers has never been more glorious. Opportunities to see, to study, and to record upon film and canvas the beauties of Nature's garden will present themselves all along the way. Bluebonnets, firewheels, Indian paintbrush, phlox, Texas plumes, brilliant cacti blossoms, and an almost endless rjj| variety of.flowers will formrvast blankets of color across field and hillside. I&S53S Several authorities on T«xas'flora and fauna will be along to tell the names and interesting stories of flowers, birds, and other features of interest. Among those planning to make the trip are Mrs. Robert C. Kerr and Walter Westgate, who have spent years in becoming acquainted with our rich wild flower heritage; Mrs. Bruce Reid, noted bird woman of Port Arthur; R. A. Sell, whose writings on all phases, of natural history are widely read; Bud A. Randolph, whose hobby is fishes and water life in general; and Lawrence H. Daingerfield, meteorologist, student of the stars, and all round lover of nature. ®§^?al;: . Due to limited time and a full program, there will be little systemmatic study, but much interesting knowledge will be absorbed by observation and discussion. ffonderful sunsets, a full moon and starlit nights, with music and singing about the campfire to bring each day to a close, are some of the treats in store for the happy nomads. ♦ W. G. Jones, Secretary-Manager of the Motor League, is cooperating heartily with the committee in charge, and when the long line of automobiles leaves the Post-Dispatch building at 7:00 A.M* April 24th, all arrangements will have been carefully completed* All who intend to join in the caravan are advised to read details published in the automobile section of the Post-Dispatch each Sunday, and to send in their reservation promptly to the Automobile Editor; Post-Dispatch, Houston, Texas. The week April 18th to 24th has been proclaimed American Forest Week. Plan now to take part in the observance of this important national event. |
