FINE ROADS EVERYWHERE

when you hear q man say that he is sorry he ever bought his car, it is not necessarily an indication that he paid more for 1t than it was worth or that operation of it is costing him more than he can afford. The probabilities are that he is one Of the people who never have indulged in the pleasures of touring.
 There are many men who stiH have the olc-fashioned notion that automo- piles are to be used only on city boule- wards. They ride from their homes to their ofIice1 and from their offices to their homes, with an occasional trip { through the parks and over the routes where the crowds are to be found on Sundays.
 Consequently, they soon grow weary of what they call the same old thing" They have yet to learn that touring iG an automobile is not surpassed by any other kind Of outdoor fun. They have failed to put their cars to one of the best Of their many splendid uses.
 In these days Of road-iinprovement | and since automobiles in general have been developed 10 a point at which the troubles that used to be common have practically been eliminated, it is pos sible fST the tourist to start for almost any point wtth a reasonable certainty of getting there and back.
 The bette-nent of roads in almost all parts of the country has been accom- panied by the establishment of many conveniences which add to the pleas i ures of motoring. One never gets far from a place at which gasoline i5 sup Tiisd; tires can be found at nearly aEy l country store, and a shop a. which | emergency repairs can be made is usu- | ally close at hand # things happen to | go wrong.
 Furthermore, there has. owin- to the | popularity or touring, been an appre- | ciable improvement in the accommo- ] dations offered by hotels in the small | towns and villages. Good meals and | comfortable beds at reasonable prices | gre the rule. rather than the exception | almost wherever the tourist finds it | necessary to put uD for the night.
 The country tavern has been Tehab- | i.itated. To the liveliness and prsten- sious of the old stage coaching days | have .n many instances been added | modern tcoavenieuces and up-to-date | service which contributes much to the | enjoyment of the touring party.
 Attractions Everywhere
 Within easy reach of almost every city in America there is some place | that is well worthy Of a visit from the tourist. In most cases there are many such points.
 The car owner who complains that @there's no place worth seeing within 2 days ride of the town or city in which he lives is to be Ditied, because the trouble undoubtedly is his own in- ability to appreciate what .s sublime. or beautiful or interesting.
 Not every state has a Grand Can ysn. a Yosemite. a Yellowstone Park. a Niagara Falls or a Nit Vernon. but there isn't a single state of the Union that is wholly devoid of natural won Sers if it possesses no other spots that should be interesting for one reason or another It is hardly too much to say. indeed, that there isn't a single section of any state that is altogether lacking in places of unusual scenic charms or historical or romantic asso- citations.
 The coming of the automobile tour {st has brought about the discovery" of hundreds Of interesting places that might otherwise have remained for ever unknown and unsung. The hilly regions and the prairie country, the lakes, the rivers and the valleys. all have their peculiar charms, so that there is easily accessible within a weekend tour of every important cen ter,of population some place that is worth seeing and worth knowing.
 In addition to the attractions that are to be found on short local tours there are always the long trips IO make their appeal to the automobile owner who has a desire to see the beauties and study the greatness Of his coun- fry The man who crosses the conu- rent iu an automobile gets a real con- ception of the vastness Of the United States: he has an Adequate under standing of the country's agricultural and mineral wealth. and he obtains the opnortunitv to get a "close up" view of the most splendid among its multi plicity of charms.
