PLEASURES OF
MOTOR TOURING

Interesting Trips of Scenic

All Sections,
FINE ROADS EVERYWHERE
Automobile Is True Discoverer
of America and Its
Charms.
Whan you hoar a man say that ha
la aorry ha ever bought hta car It ta
not nacaaaarily an Indication that ha
paid mora for It than It »*a n rth or
that oparatton of It is coat. r g him
mora than he can afford. The prob
ability are that he la ona of the
people who never have Indulged In
the pleasure# of touring.
There are many man who attll h»v»
the ol<a-f*atlona<l notion that automo
bile# are to be ueed only on city
boulevard# They ride from their
homee to their office# and from thalr
olfl.-ea to thalr home#, with an occa
alonal trip through the park# and
ovar tha route# n here the crowd# are
to be feuad on Sunday#.
Consequently. they eoon grow weary
of what they call "the same old
thing." They have yet to learn that
touring In an automobile la not nr
passed by any other kind of outdoor
fua. They have failed to put their
cars to one of the beat of their mar.v
aplendid uaee
In that# dav# of road-improvement,
and alnp# automobile# In general have
bean developed to a point at which
the trouble# that used to be common
have practically been eliminated, it
It possible the tourist to start
for almoat ar.y point with a reason
ed# certainty of getting there and
back.
The betterment of roada In almost
all part# of the country baa been ac
companied by the establishment of
many convenience* which add to the
pleasures of motoring On# never
a*'.* far from a place at whteh aaao
line la supplied; tires can be found
at nearly ar.y country atore. and a
ahop at which ema-geney repairs can
be mads la usually close at hand If
things happen to go wrong.
Furthermore, there haa, owing to
the popularity of touring, been an ap
preciable Improvement In the accom
modation# offered by hotel* In the
email town# and village#
The country tavern haa been re
habilitated. To the llvellneea and
pretensions of the old a’age co-chlng
dava have In many Inatancea baen
aided modern convenience# and up
to-d*t* service which contribute much
to the enjoyment of the touring party
