First Car to

"THE years of agitation to ad
mit motor carg to Yellow
stone National Park culminated
in success on the evening of July
31 when Government and park
officials in a White touring car
rode through the park entrance
at Gardiner, Mon., officially sig
nifying that the great American
playground was open to motorists
for the first time.
Originally it was planned to
open the park after midnight of
July 81, but this was changed to
permit entry early in the evening,
so that tourists could make the
six mile trip from Gardiner to
Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel in
daylight and be ready to start
through the park from the hotel
on Sunday morning, August 1.
Many who last year made a pil
grimage to the park entrance
with cars bearing the slogan
"Let Us In" were there to see
the results that they had helped
to gain and enthusiastic to be
among the first to cross the here
tofore forbidden line.

In "Empire Tours," Just laaued by the
Kmpire Tours Association to provide the
motorist with a guide to the scenic and
historic points of Interest In the State
of New York. It has been necessary to
group them under three tours each
with its own Individual features, yet
forming with its two companions a com
pact whole.
The quaint Indian nomenclature of
these three famous tours connotes an s'r
of romance which can only be under
stood by thoee who have experienced
from a motor car the myriad attractions
of the Kmpire State
Throughout the length and breath of
her threescore counties New York offers
to the tourist thousands of miles of
splendid State and county roads, radiat
ing like the spokes of a wheel from a
hundred centres, and constantly Increas
ing In number and extent. Hotels there
nre. and Inns by the score, which for
luxury and comfort, for excellence of
cuisine and of hospitality cannot be sur
passed the world over. It may truth
fully be said, and in no spirit of vain
glorious boHstfuIneNs, that no part of
Kurope of similar extent can offer to the
motorist any trio of Itineraries which
for scenic- attractions and historic In
terest, for smoothness of highways and
lor excellence of hotel eocorjunodatloni
can excel the three trails known collec

There does not seem to be the sllghtesl
dOUbt that the Jitney bus marks the en
trance of one of the most wonderful ot
of modern Invention Into a further field
of usefulness, from which It Is not go
ing 10 ret reel even though the surprise
to the public thet t can be so used Is
I" .heps a little greater than the sur
prise which h accompanied the several
other stage of th automobile s develop

ten cent far, the flexibility of aervlce

use and Che demand of the public thai
Its uc lie foetered and not hampered
I by legislation of a confiscatory nature
The present rather chaoti indltloni
under which the Jitney buses are oper
ating will pas, but undoubtedly there
will remain a properly regulated ser
vice of this character Much opposi

and voiced from a more or less Helfl.-h

termine the future of this new method
of transportation in elty streets li
whether It Is a public ut tlty and n o.
nomlcally correct, and It is In consider
atlon of these points that II will finally
be Judged
The public will certainly not permit
of Its being denied n opportunity to
demonstrate Its usefulness merely be
cause certain persons or Interests are
affected. If a new and dangerous com
petitor of traction Interests has ap
peared, those interests must sooner or
later meet this competition ; they cannot
hope to strangle It any more than trunk i
line carriers could prevent the final tie- I
v lopmetit of trolley systems. Kaoh
ha finally come into Its own portion
of truffle that naturally takes to the
different channels, and It Is certuln that
a portion of traffic Is going to take to
I the motor vehicle.
Nor is a five cent fare necessarily a j
I o lulrtlon under which the automobile
must lie used 1n the handling of ntis
ae.ngers. Kveirlsiy w1m goes to thej

of Jitney bus in large numbers, but I

reach a sound conclusion, avoid con

right themselves or be controlled by

Bowling to the i'tnpctltion which this
new service Will 'have to meet In the wk
of trai lion facilities, and It must not
be overlooked that In many places the
jitney bus will supplement rather than
compete with trolley line.
The question Is whether automobiles,

more suitable bodle. can be furnished

This Is the Host Arranjro

"Do you know." said Harry S. Houpt,
the Hudson distributer, "that a limou
sine cabriolet or sedan body Is by far
the beat type of automobile for a man
who oan only afford one par? The
extraordinary weather .ondltlona which
prevutled thla summer have brought
rather forcibly to the attention of
motorists that the closed car Is not only
the best air for city use but If properly
built and not (00 heavy Is also the
Ideal vehicle for touring purposes as
well.
"In th first place, In pleasant weather
the cloeed i-ar roof Is a ladler protec
tion ago inet tw sun than the average
touting car top and In case of rain,
enow or dumpuess the lifting of a few
windows renders the Itttt rlor o warm

your own home. I am glad to say th
