 In his reports to the American Au- tomobile assoiation touring informa- tion board. made in connection with laying out northern transcontinental route Pathfinder 4. l.. Westgard uses superlative adjectives in describing the scenic beauties encountered on the way. After linking the spur from Liv- ingston to Gardiner, Mont, and thus securing a Yellowstone park connec- tiOn, the pathfinder car departed from the main road at Kalispen and added another spur leading to Glacier nation al park, which the transcontinental traveller states possesses "gloriously magnificent scenery; streams full of trout, ani Indians still picturesque" Good roads sentiment throughout Mon tana was found to be rampant as a result of the accelerating of the re- cent Montana good roads congress at Anaconda.
 On Monday morning, October 7, the national reliability tour of the Ameri- can Automobile association will have it's beginning in Detroit, with the con- cIusion at New Orleans some ten Gays later. The exact schedule will not be decided upon until after the path finding car, which Is now on It's way southWard, will have completed the task of laying out the route. The Sunday stop will probably be in Mem phis, superbly located on the broad Mississippi. and one of the most pro- gressive cities of the south.

Sudden brakinq is harmful to tires | It causes the wheels to be dragged over the ground with the result that i the tire treads are quickly worn away ! Occasionally motorists apply theil i brakes so forcibly that the wheels are | locked. Not only is this absolutely
 ruinous to envelopes. but it is moi | generally the quickest way to stop 2 1 car. A demonstratio ton of the same
 principle is often seen in starting z
 railroad train. If the throttle Is open. ed suddenly the wheels of the locomo-
 tive will spin around without grip. ping the rails and the train stand! ! still. whereas if the steam be applied
 slowly the cars are set in motion a once.
