Summertime season when the mo-
tor-tourist has always been at the
height of his glory--has given way
in favor OF autumn, and the exhilara-
ting weather of the past few days Is
fast winning over the meter ear own
er. hundreds of whom are planning
trips during the next few weeks. 1t Is
confidently predicted that the months
OF September and October will break
all previous records In this respect.
The great army of autonobilists
who were discouraged by the hot.
dusty roads of midsummer. will find
the cool, hFaeiHg air and hard packed
roads Of the early fall season most
Irresistible: in fact, the Touring club
of America, Broadway and Seventy
sixth street, New York, reports that
the great number of inquiries for
routes, automobile blue books and in
formation an to road conditions Is
quite unprecedented at this time of
the year.
The present demand for touring in
formation bears out the predictions OF
the Touring clubs officials that hum
drdds of motorists have postponed
their vacation tours during the sum-
mer. so as to take advantage 81 the
brisk. cool autumnal days, with their
dustiess roads, at time when the ho-
tells and wayside inns along the popu-
lar thorouRhfares are best prepared to
care for them.
Now that the seashore season Is
over, the hills have acquired an added
charm. and it Is the Berkshires, the
Adirondacks and the White Noun
tains that are proving magnetic to the
motor tourists. while the Catskiils. the
Ramapos, the Water-Gap and the Po-
conos are calling those who seek
shorter trips for weekend holidays.
Only by actually getting out into
the country. by experiencing the ia
MIGRATING rush through the crisp al
mos sphere of fall day ear, the fall
Joys of touring at this season II the
year be appreciated The air Is clear,
revealing the beauties of distant Mills
and mountains in sharp relief, and al
outdoors extends an invitation TO me
city dweIlers TO revel IN the gram
deur of nature.
