BAGGAGE FOR MOTOR TRIP.
Suggestions Ventured by One Who
Has Had Much Experience.

Before starting on a tour get a rug
1t will cost 81 or $1.50-to hang over
the coat-rail on the back of the front
seat and reach down to the car floor.
SO that the suit cases will not scratch
the paint on the back of the seat. Be-
sides this, do not start out without a
strap by which the suit cases can be
kept in place, otherwise they will get
out of position and be falling on the
feet of the rear seat or tonneau pas
sengers. An ordinary strap abous five
feet long and IL inches wide will do.
1t should have a buckle on each end.
Buckle one end around the robe-raii
and then run the strap through the
handles of the suit cases and buckle
the other end around the foot-rail of
the tonneau This is simple arrange
ment but will make the trip COM
fort from start to finish so far as the
baggage is concerned.
Raincoats and overcoats always
should be carried over the robe-rail
on the back of the front seat. Put
the overcoats on first. Fold them
neatly and hang them over the rail
before the baggage, that is, the suit
cases, is put in place. Fold the rain
coats and lay them over the over
coats. sweaters and whatever other
coats are needed With these coats
in place. place the suit cases against
them so that with the wind and air
currents the raincoats cannot flop out
of position. There is nothing more
ANNOYING TO a tonneau passenger than
to have the tail or arm of raincoat
flaming in his face with the car run
al Ok mr. % t11ilpe Der hour,
With women tourists it is great
mistake not TO carry the wells and
goggles and extra gloves in the door
rockets. Many start out with these
necessaries in the pockets of the coats
and hang the coats on the robe-rail.
When goggles are needed it upsets all
of the coats to reach the pockets
where the goggles are stored. The
same applies to gloves, wells, etcs 1t
&c one of the disturbing features of a
tour to have the baggage upset before
10 miles have been covered in order
70 get a different pair of gloves or an
other pair of goggles. Many drivers
are Nightmares to the other passen-
gers because they do not use any
judgment in arranging the tour. j. in
these little respects They have hard
| " started until matches are needed.
and perhaps they are in the pocket of
an overoat that is snugly slowed away
Then the goggles are in some other
out of -the-way place. and more dis
turbing of baggage is necessary. Be-
fore getting into car for days
tour each passenger should go over in
his or her mind everything that might
be needed in case of a sudden rain or
any other incidental stop, and these
necessaries should be placed where
they can be conveniently reached With
out disturbing the main baggage. -

Senator Gardner on the Election.

Maine, and important Il true. Does the

Further on the Senator saws that tile

Senator. What is a professional tenn

Hunting the Souls of Men.

We have received from Louisville,
KY, a tabulation showing the per
capita consumption of liquors in the
years from 1893 to 1911. 1t shows an
increase from 17s44 gallons consumed
per capita, to 22.29 gallons, a gain of
nearly five gallons per person, the Ma
tional Model License League solemnly
assures us, since the Anti Saloon
League was organized
That being the case, for the love OF
all things good, what would have the
consumption reached but for the work

The governor has evidently made a
mistake; a pretty serious one. and one
that wifi beyond doubt be disastrous to

that what Maine voted to have is not
just exactly what the governor of Maine
thinks she ought to have. SO the Legis-

new amendment to the constitution pro-
vding for local option and license in the
cities, even while the present amendment
continues to prohibit the sale of in
toxicating liquors in rural sections of the
State.
1t would be difficult to conceive of a
greater blunder from any point of view
considered. For one thing the position
taken by the proposition is absolutely un-
tenable. The prohibitory amendment
covers the entire state. urban as well as
