GENTLE TIPS TO
A FEW GENTEEL
MOTOR TOURISTS
Go Sec the Best Part" OF
America First, Without
Any Regrets.
THINK OF YOUR CAR
AND YOUR STOMACH
Aside from the Expense the Trip
Gross Country Offers Many
Objectionable Features.

Quite number Of automobile manu-
facturcrs ere sending broadcast large
quantities Of publicity, N which ess
owners are urged to cross the CONT
nent by motor.
Fortunately for the manufacturers,
and the car users az we'll. the latter
know much more about touring than
tho former. A. the same tine few
newcomers into the motor touring
field may be led sstrsy by this ridieu-
lous advice.
When the manufacturer advises users
20 90 dasniug about, without aim or
purpose ali over America. he IS not
only giving out had advice, but inJur-
ing his own game
Ate, the touring season IS all over
and the tourist returns nome from
poorly planned vacation. he is goiag
20 say NO more touring IN America
Tor ne: III wait until / can 20 back TO
Europe"
But 4 he will forearm himself ard
stick 70 the good roads ana the good
hotels he viii return home refreshed
and a better American. In addition TO
this. his car will not have 70 spend the
rest OF the year in the repair shop, and
the cost of the overhaulng Will not be
greater than was the cost OF the trip.
II YOU have no regard for your per-
sonal comfort and feel that you would
like 10 get out and rough IL for few
weeks. taking your chances on roads
and hotels. consider the transcon'l-
mental trip from a mechanical endur-
ance standpoint.
On the average transcontinental trip
by rail sixteen locomotives are used on
passenger trains and twenty-five on
through freight trains.
Are you going 20 ask your car 10 DO
! the work Of sixteen locomotives?
Ard how about springs? You would
be lucky 20 get across wltnou, breaking
five or six springs, particularly If YOU
carry "a family and enough baggage 70
meet bare requirements.
4 man might be perfectly comfort
/ able in a flannel shirt. but most women
D ike 70 be dolled up. and when you IN
, terfere with their ideas in this matter
righraway they want 20 fight.
II the road was rough, the hotel
poor. the car full Of carbon and the
ignition raising ructions, all the women
in the party would tlamc i on he fact
that they were out OF clean shlrtwaists.
Further than this: how about your
stomach. Change OF cooking and water
daily will knock nine men out OF ten
inside of two weeks.
The hot winds and dust will dry ur
the skin and in the Far West the water
is so full of alkali you cannot wash
with il. much less drink l.,
However, if you want 20 try u. y
ahead. The Tribune Touring Depart
ment will do all il can IN assisting
you 20 select the best routes, but when
you get back don't write in and say YOU
wish you had taken The Tribune's al =
vice and stuck 70 the well developed
and natural touring and vacation sec
tions Of this beautiful country.
It's all very nice 20 see the great
mountains and deserts and drive along
the banks OF a thousand rivers you
never heard OF, but great mountains
make hard beds and the sands of the
desert are about the poorest breakfast
food in the market

BOYS AND GIRLS INTERESTED.
In Statewide Agricultural and Industri-
al Explosion.

Vermont led off last year with the frs
exhibition given over entirely to the boy
and girls in New England, if not in tn
eastern states, and many have desiret
that it be continued and made a perma
nent state institution. The committe,
are now sending out hand book and pre-
liminary prize list for the second snnua
Vermont boys and girls industrial ex
position and many will be pleased at th'
decision TO follow up the splendid be
ginning made in 1915.
The Windsor County Y. NJ. C. A. com
mittee, who initiated and directed the
three state corn shows and the 1914 boys
and girls exposition, have made every
in some part of the state, if suitable
buildings and grounds could be procured
in order that il might touch other com.
munities and arouse the widest possible
interest, and at the invitation of the
Rutland Business Mems association and
with a desire to hold the exposition at
the time of the annual convention of the
Vermont State Teachers association, it
will be held in the new exhition buildings
on the Rutland fair grounds, Rutland,
Vermont, during the last week in Octo-
Der 20, 81, %, 20, 1915.
The committee believes that the sue
cess of the 1914 exposition will lead
many all over the state to cooperate
this year and look forward TO the 1918
exposition. With the financial assist.
ance made possible through the appropri-
alton of state funds and by interested
friends and EXAMINATIONS, il is believed
that as comprehensive a showing can
be made in Rutland the coming fall.
The committee of management will
have the services of Archibald C. Hurd,
director of the three state corn shows
and the 1914 boys and girls exposition,
his time being donated by the Windsor
county Y. NJ. c, A. employing him.
