ing The enthusiasm with which South
erners generally are standing back of
the tour may be gauged by the fact
that eleven men from one city are going
into it with brand-new cars.
Carrying tent, cots, an alchool stove,
cooking utensils-everything essential to
the making OF comfortable camps-two
Cleveland (Ohio) women had the unique
experience last summer of living for
five weeks in the open air. By day they
Travelled in their Cadillac car; by night
they slept in their snug camp, under the
stars. They covered 400 miles during the
five weeks and visited the principal points
of interest in New York State and New
England.
DR.. Lillian G. Towslee and Miss Kath-
arine Arthur were the women. They had
a chauffeur, of course, to drive the ma
chine and do the heavy work in pitching
and breaking camp: and DR.. Towslee's
eight-year-old son was along, too.
For five weeks the party practically
lived In the car, packing and unpacking
their camping equipment each morning
and night, and moving on over another
lap of the journey. An average OF sew
ghty-five miles travel per day satisfied
the members of the party, who were not
out to break any touring records; al
though one day they made Isl miles. In
spite of the fact that the route took the
car through or over five mountain ranges
-AdIrondacks, White Mountains, Green
Mountains, Berkshires, and Catskiils-
and the further fact that the load car
ried was 1,6O0 pounds, the entire trip of
400 miles was made on III gallons of
gasoline.
More attention is being paid among
automobile makers this fall to the winter
body.
Some years ago many automobile max
ers built nothing but open touring or
runabout bodies. Then demand grew
for an incIosed type. and the limousine
came into being. This was soon followed
by the landauler, as a combination OPEN

It il safe TO say. from data gathered
from the license bureaus Of the various
States, that there are in the United
States very close to 10000 automobiles
IN use, an actual outlay of about $780,
OoO,oOo It has been found impossible to
determine accurately Just how many cars
there are still in use and only approx
innate estimates can be made of the
value Of the existing machines.
There are probably close to 5000 auto
mobiles in New York State alone al
though estimates run much higher
Pennsylvania may well be given second
place, as figures have been furnished
crediting that State with from 1000 to
5000 ''chug-buggies." Estimates upon
the number operated in each OF the
States are so at variance that II would
be difhcult to give with any degree of
accuracy a reliable table Of the number
owned by the people Of the several Com
monwealths.
OF all the States, New Mexico is scred-
tied with the fewest cars. Nevada has
but Few more. Neither Of these States
has more than 200. according to the best
estimates obtainable. The duplicate reg
istration Of many autos in several states
