WEST LEADER IN MOVEMENT Mere Than 90 Per Cent of Existing Sites Are Located West of the Mis sissippi River—Once Started, Idea Spread With Amazing Rapidity— Towns Without Hotel Are Thus En abled to Make Bid for Share *f Tourist Patronage. The recent remarkable Increase^In the volume of motor camping has served to call attention to certain fea tures of this Interesting subject that have not hitherto received sufficient attention. One of these relates to the establishment of municipal camping sites for the comfort and convenience of campers. Several years ago, when the crimping Idea was In Its Infancy, the pioneers of this new phase of mo tor touring were forced to find their own camp sites, In most instances pitching their tents wherever night overtook them and giving but little heed to the condition of the site se lected, except to assure themselves that it was reasonably high and dry. As time went on, however, and the number of camping motorists In creased by leaps an 1 bounds certain enterprising communities In the west ern states began to realize the com mercial possibilities of this new form of motoj- trafllc and decided that it would be to the advantage of all con cerned if they were to provide suit able camping grounds Immediately adjacent to the business centers of the various towns. Iteasoning on the prin ciple that every motoring party is obliged to spend a certain amount of money somewhere for gasoline, oil, tires, repairs, food, clothing and amusements, It did not take some of the local chambers long to decide that the towns that provided most for the comfort and convenience of their trans lent guests were bouud to secure the greatest volume of their trade. Idea Spreads Amazingly. Once started, the idea spread with amazing rapidity, and it was not long before those interested beheld the il luminating spectacle of town vlelng with town and city with city in a de termined effort to provide the best pos sible accommodations on the theory that well-equipped camp sites would Induce a certain number of motorists to tarry awhile to enjoy them. Scat tered throughout the vast region west of the Mississippi river are thousands of small towns which could not pos sibly support a first-class hotel and maintain It as a paying Investment, but which are, nevertheless, able to provide suitable camping grounds ami thus make a strong bid for their share of tli« tourist patronage that formerly escaped them altogether. The fundamentals of any camp site are a well-shaded plot of high and level ground, properly drained, sev eral acres in size, with pure water and firewood close at hand and also some form of outdoor oven or grate to make cooking as simple and convenient as possible. Little more than this was provided in the earliest camps, but as time went on and competition between the various communities became keener the list of conveniences became more voluminous. Buildings were erected to serve as rest rooms and for shelter during storms, general stores and laundries were Installed In mauy places, cooking was simplified through tho use of cook stoves, gas plates and even electric stoves, cleanliness was encouraged through the installation of running water, bath tnbs, shower baths and swimming pools, health was In sured by the erection of tent floors, toilets and Incinerators for garbage and refuse, police and electric lights were provided for safety's sake, while many of the comforts and even lux uries of home life were approximated as far as possible by providing tele phones, electric irons, wash machines, tables and benches, dining pavilions, tilling stations, accessory stores. In formation booths and free road maps. Gather Much Information. Several months ago the demand for Information relative to the location and equipment of municipal and other camping grouuds became so pro nounced that the American Automo bile association decided to gather in formation concerning them. This or ganization sent out a veritable flood of questionnaires to automobile clubs, chambers of commerce, highway asso ciations and other similar bodies re questing full details concerning the lo cation and facilities provided at the various camp sites in all sections of the country. Very recently the results of this investigation were published In the form of a 100-page booklet entitled tho "Otlicial Camping and Camp Site Manual," which contains not only a useful summary of the fundamentals of motor camping, but also a complete description of more than 1,000 camp sites. A perusal of this exhaustive analysis shows a great many interesting things not previously known. For Instance, the state of California leads all others In the number of Its camping places with a total of 155. Montana is a poor second, having only 7'J. while South Dakota follows closely with 69. Fourth in the list is Washington with 46 camp sites then comes Oregon. This latter state contains 40 camping grounds, exceeding by two only the quotas of both Minnesota and North Dakota, and **7: "iMf1nJln""'J"1j"—El* "HT'J I.""11 Li four that of Michigan. No camp sites whatever are reported for several of the states, such as Arkansas, Dela ware, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina and West Virginia, though teps are being taken to organize some I In preparation for the 1922 toorlng season. Conveniently Distributed. When considering the distribution Oft camping grounds the feature which will probably be of most value to the average tourist Is that relating to their frequency along the main lines of in terstate traffic. Those transcontinental highways that seem to have progressed furthest In this respect are the Yellow stone trrfll, the National I'arks high way and the Pike's Peak, Ocean-to Oeean highway. These three important routes are practically on a par one with another, because each of them now possesses almost an even 100 camp sites. Moreover, the average distance between these sites Is only about ^5 or 30 miles, thus insuring satisfactory camping privileges at fre quent intervals practically all the way from the Mississippi rlvtr to the Pa cific coast. Although not strictly speaking a transcontinental route, the Custer Battlefield highway is, never theless, worthy of medtlon in this con nection, Inasmuch as it possesses no less than 82 camp sites, located at very short Intervals along a route that ex tends only from Omaha to Glacier Na tional park. Among the main north and south highways the leaders In this respect are the Pacific highway and the Jefferson highway, with 01 and 00 camp sites respectively then comes the Meridian highway with 46. The National Park-to-Phrk highway, which, as Its name Implies, is a circuit tour comprising practically nil of the na tional parks, is likewise liberally sup plied with camping grounds. West Is Best Provided. All these figures are Illuminating, but without doubt the most striking result of the entire Investigation lies In the demonstration that more than 00 per cent of the existing camp sites are located west of the Mississippi river. In other words, it is evident at a glance that what has come to be regarded as a well established Institu tion In the West is almost an unknown quantity Ju the eastern states. To those motorists who have fallen Into the habit of expecting to find camping accommodations almost everywhere throughout the western part of the country It will come as a distinct shock to learn that such populous and wealthy states as New York, Massa chusetts and New Jersey are practi cally devoid of organized camping grounds at the present time. An ex haustive Investigation discloses the surprising fact that In all New England there are but 35 municipal and private camp sites, of which 21 of them are in Connecticut. New Jersey Is even worse off In this respect, with only one, while New York Is In much the same cate gory so far as municipal camping grounds are concerned, but fortunately for those who tmir through the state reservations in the Adirondacks and the Catskllls, the New York state con servation commission Jins recognized the necessity for providing camping facilities In these send public preserves and lias accordingly Installed fire places to the totul of 50 In the Adiron dacks and 12 in the Catskllls. From the above it Is obvious that westerners who tour through the East this coming summer must be prepared In advance to expect a dearth of camp Ing places, at least the kind to whldi they have become accustomed in their travels throughout the West. In most cases they will be forced to find their own camping places intead of relying on those which have been prepared in advance for their reception. To the average camper this will not be any *real hardship, only an annoyance, but the lack of facilities of this kind is hound to have a reaction by tending to discourage motoring through the East by those who have already become confirmed campers. Obviously the remedy Is to establish many more camp sites Just as rapidly as possible, and there Is no doubt that automobile clubs and chambers of commerce in the eastern states will sooner or later realize the necessity that now exists and tuke steps to provide the needed camping facilities. SNAIL IS SLOW TRAVELER it Took One 16 Days to Cover Ont Mile, According to Observers. What do you suppose is the actual speed made by a suail In traveling? One foot in four minutes, or at the rate of one mile in 16 days, if travellug continuously. These are figures given by George Zahnizer, a civil engineer of Newcastle, O., taken from actual observation. A short time since Zahnizer was standing along the Western New York and Pennsylvania railroad waiting for a train. He had nothing In particular to do and "killed a little time" by tim ing a snail which wus creeping along the ground. That snail traveled just exactly one foot In four minutes, Mr. Zahnlser says, and compiling distance at the rate of travel shown, Mr. Zahnizer has figured out that It would require sixteen days for that snail to move a mile. MOONSHINER HAS HOOFS Florida Man Hides Trail by Leaving Tracks Like Cow's. In order to throw prohibition agents off the trail to moonshine stills, a Florida moonshiner has invented a shoe that leaves an imprint similar to that of the hoof of a cow, A. L. Allen, federal prohibition commissioner for Florida, announced. One of the hoof shoes was found at a still captured near Port Tampa, Mr. Allen said, and it will be forwarded to Commissioner Blair, at Washington. -™i+4 Y'» )*,v f, V-' STOWS AWAY TYPHOID GERMS FOR SAFEKEEPING How would you enjoy Having as your' life work the handling of typhoid fever germs.
