NOTED TRAVELLER WILL GIVE ILLUSTRATED TALK

"TRAIL RIDERS OF THE ROCKIES" IS SUBJECT OF ADDRESS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Colonel Philip A. Moore, noted traveller and platform speaker, will give an illustrated lecture at the Union at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening, February 24. His lecture will be on "The Trail Riders of the Rockies," and will be illustrated with the films made under his guidance last summer. Hand-colored slides will show the beautiful coloring of the Rocky Mountain scenery, and his motion pictures will give a glimpse of life in the lonely regions of the Northwest.

Colonel Moore has always been a lover of the wilderness. Soon after his graduation from Princeton, his restless disposition urged him to travel through the Rockies and as far north as the Peace River. At the outbreak of the World War, he was so far from human contact that six weeks passed before he heard even a rumor of it. Immediately he set out on foot, walked two hundred miles to the nearest town, signed up and went overseas to Flanders, where he served with great distinction. As soon as peace was declared, he returned to his life of wandering. Successively he has been cowboy, prospector, guide, and big game hunter, occupations which have taken him over 25,000 miles of trail in the mountains.

He is now connected with the Bureau of Commercial Economics of Washington, under the auspices of which he is giving his talks.
