II the erstwhIle conservative English WON

solution Of a possible outing for family of
two or three persons, surely the merits OF
the scheme will soon be widely realized in
this country and many OF the compact and
marvelously convenient little vans. that look
like tiny house on wheels, will be put upon
our roads; for when properly protected By
having a man OF the family along, this Is
not only a novel but most enjoyable way
Of seeing fine extent Of country.
The English vans have greatly developed
in convenience owing TO the increasing de-
mand for them until now every inch OF space
has its rack or compartment for slowing the
many necessities in small space.
They always stop and make a camp Ire for
the evening meal. moving on in the twilight
to the nearest village or town TO spend the
ried under the van. the party camping out
for awhile and using the van for the COM
missary department. There are many pos
s.oilities in this caravaning idea which Amer
leans who cannot afford touring car might
develop. Some Of the vans went 800 miles
long detours the next week. Whoever has

1t Is not known who first began it but it
started in England a few years ago, this
caravaning fad, and last season there was

for the open road. but had no motor cars in

Each year more vans are built and put
