and l think that this will be the most
advisa BILE course to pursue. However,
there are times when 1t will be i'm
possible to do this, and to cover such
cases l would advise adding to the car
equipment one piece of light weight
ground cloth-waterproof material
with a rope loop sewed to each corner.
The size of this cloth should be 10 by
20 feet. 1t should be drawn over a rope
stretched between two trees, or cars,
and the corners staked down, making
an tent with open ends.
I'm the case of using two cars, the
cars would block these open ends and
keep out the wet, and in the woods.
where it would be slung between two
trees, the rain would not be blown in
on account of the forest. The cooking
fire may be built in the center of this
shelter, and although 1t may be some
what smoky, it will serve the purpose
of keeping the party dry. This cloth
should be carried fiat on the floor of the
tonneau.
IF out In the open, 1t should be set
up with one end toward the wind, and
in the case of one car 1t can be slung
over a rope fastened TO this car and led
over pole and thence to the ground"

Motorists Need Not Be Un-
comfortable When They
Pitch Camps.
REFUSE TO ROUGHIT
AND GO PREPARED
Take Nothing With You That Is Not
Absolutely Essential,
However.

The true science of camping and
outdoor life in general Is to be COM
Portable and healthy with as little eff
fort possible. Most persons seem
to think they cannot go camping with
out roughing it, or, in other words,
without being very uncomforta ble."
says Frank H. Trego in Motor Age.
Now, this is all mistake, and one
may be practically comfortable in
camp as anywhere else if he or she has
but the skill and experience to use with
intelligence the equipment and the
things which nature supplies free. The
object of this article is to give. in as
few words as possible, advice so that
The motorist may camp where he
pleases and at the same time enjoy the
experience.
I'm the first place, refuse to rough it
and go prepared for the work and in
sist upon being comfortable. In the
second place. make up your mind TO
dress for the work or you cannot pos
sibly be comfortabl White collar and
cuffs are impossible in camp, and soil
ed linen looks a thousand times worse
than a soled flannel shirt.
This is a very hard subject to cover
on account of the fact that it ranges
from a transcontinental tour to an
outing just over Sunday in thickly
settled district. 1t strikes me. there
fore. that if ! deal with the long tour
the reader may modify the outfit to suit
the less exacting requirements much
easier than he can evolve the long
lance equipment from a description Of
the lighter preparation.
Give Problem Long Thought.
Give the problem sufficient thought
long time ahead of the starting date.
You not only will get a lot of fun out
of this, but benefit well. AS you are
planning the trip. make a list Of every
article which is to go into the OUTFIT.
Add to this from time to time, also
eliminating some things. When the
time draws near get all of this material
together and pile it up on the floor.
Now go over it carefully and slowly,
one item at a time. and talk TO your
self about each piece. If you have not
a mighty good reason for taking any
certain piece along. lay it aside in one
pile for future consideration, and at
the same time make pile of those
things without which you think you
cannot possibly get through.
set this last pile aside for day or
two for future consideration. Do not con-
slider again the pile you set aside as
doubtful.
You will be sure to take along some
things which you never Will use, so make
these as few as possible until you learn
the game and automatically cut down on
those things not necessary
-Four persons can make the tour In a

1o-MILE DASH AT SIOUX CITY.
Unique Auto Event Will Be Given
July 4.

That one of the most interesting
events ever witnessed on an automobile
speedway will be seen in the ten-mile
dash at the Sioux City track July 4 is
the opinion of men versed in the auto
racing game. The contest is from a
standing start and the features and
thrills are expected to arise from the
efforts of the drivers to outmaneuver
their opponents for positions after the
crack of the starters gun.
The huge machines will be lined up
in front of the starters stand in the
order designated in proportion TO their
time in the preliminary trials. The
fastest car will be on the inside in the
front row. 1t is thought that at least
twenty five cars will start in this event
and all of them will be prepared to
make a speed of from 95 to 100 miles
per hour.
At the crack of the starters gun the
clutches will be thrown in and the
drivers will send their cars to the
front as fast as mechanical skill and
the power of gasoline will permit,

"What did tell you," repeated the

Alan flushed angrily. He had no re-

silent.
The captain colored too. "That's

He came out of that interview thor

The captains code was peculiar. to
