AMERICANS TOUR IN EUROPE.
Increase I'm Popularity Is Manifest
ed in Motoring.

In Europe so extensive has the use OF
American-made motor cars by their
American owners become. that the papers
on that side OF the Atlantic have begun
10 pay serious attention to the matter.
In a recent issue Of a leading Paris
newspaper the following was given a
leading position.
The increasing popularity Of automo-
bile tosi.-g IN Europe Is shown by the
fact that three American firms now
maintain touring Offices and spare parts
depots in Paris. The Pierce-Arrow Motor
Car Company, OF Buffalo. which for some
time has shared Offices with another firm.
has recently removed into quarters at the
corner Of the Avenue de Ia Grande Armes
and the Rue Anatole de Ia Forge, where
American tourists can obtain any infOr-
nation they may require regarding tour
ing regulations. routes and so on.
One by one the places that have here
tofore been held inaccessible for motor
cars are succumbing 10 the inevitable.
Hills and mountains, that few years
ago were regarded as closed 10 this
means OF travel are now used as
part Of regular touring routes, while
mountain grades that have foiled all at
tempts by motor cars in the past. are
gradually losing their terror. The latest
instance Of this is told by the Man

issue. says:

A quick, light step was mani

avenue. A lady of such evident
worldly prosperity stopped in the
dim light from Sandy's gasoline

sparkling jewels of price in the

and fingers; and she hesitated as

The Bantam had possessed HIM

sparkling rings. Sandy clutched
him by the throat and yelled.
Then Billy the Bantam released
madame and proceeded to crush
his friend Sandy. He was about
twice as big and three times as
strong-but Sandy held on. Billy
the Bantam drew his great arms
tighter and clasped the boys ribs
in constructor fashion-but Sandy
would not let go. Finally the Ban

banged and slapped the apple boys

grip that produces strangulation.
