LONG AUTO TRIPS

A sign of the times which tends TO
show the perfection of the automobile
is the continuous reports of motor car
owners who make the trip from sea-
board to seaboard. These reports have
become so frequent that they cause a

years back proposed trip of this kind

is back again. The possibilities OF
making such trips under present cOndi-
tions are a wonderful achievement. The
increasing number who make these
trips create a demand for better roads.
and as time goes on and such trips be-
come universal the necessity of a ma
tional highway will be apparent.
Lucky the state whose citizens spend
their leisure time this way. A man
cannot make this trip without having
his ideas of life broadened. He sees
things through the eyes OF those To-
Gated in other states, and after travel
ing through the highways and byways
of the republic he is better able to cope
with national questions. Therefore
good roads throughout the country
