ferent regions of their country to
Americans who have hitherto been
yeritable strangers in their own land.
"Europe's war. which has barred
lobe-trotting Americans from foreign
haunts, is going to give our wanderers
and lovers of the exotic a dose of gen
uine. oldfashioned Americanism. that
will do them heap of good.
What Tourists Will Discover.
"As they go motoring in this coun-
try they will discover that most of our
roads lack the perfection of Europe 5
motor trails. They will discover that
one reason for our mediocre roads is
the fact that too many American dol
lars have been poured into the funnel
of foreign travel in past years.
The touring season of 1915 will teach
Americas wealthy sons many of Amer
ica's needs. 1t will vitalize the need
of better roads and better wayside inns
for devotees of the steering wheel and
the open road.
The wholesome rigors that tourists
will encounter on the road will do nc
harm. Those who drive from coast to
coast on the Lincoln highway will find
it a boulevard compared with many
roads with which they are familiar.
Even its desert stretches need not
be aDDrOaChed with alarm. There are
not more than three or four bad spots
on the great American desert and even
those are not much over a hundred
yards in extent"

torists will spend their vacations in

The fellow who selected the colors
for the new Iowa auto number plates
for 1915 ought to become celebrated,

marks of those who are receiving their
new plates. he is measuring up to
the full stature OF his just deserts. We
do not know what the name of this
special artist" is, but whatever it
may be, 1t ought to be given to the
public. The possessor of such an eye
for the beautiful ought to be born
to blush unseen. One of these new
