EQUIPMENT FOR
TOURS SMALL
Chicken Wire Is Ideal For
Pulling the Car Out Of
Deep Sand Holes.

thousands Of motorists are Just
now planning transcontinentaI auto
mobile trips, and the subject Of
equipment is one which is very i'm
pOrtant TO them There prevails an
opinion that it is necessary TO carry
from 200 20 500 pounds Of Quitting.
This is a mistake, however. Tourists
have learned that much is carried on
these trips that is not necessary.
One Of the first things. according
TO an experienced tourist, is the con
sideration OF car. He believes that a
medium weight car of fair horse
power and plenty OF clearance is best.
me seats or sucn a car must be high
enough TO be comfortable, so that the
occupant Of the car may sit for hours
without cramping.
In the matter Of equipment there
may be included a Ratchet, crOwbar,
shovel some cotton rope Of about 100
feet in length and a half inch in dia-
meter, pulIy blocks, one or two
boards 10 hold the jack when forced

extra OIL grease and gasoline IN cans
under the seat Provision should be
made to carry as much water as pos
sible, in water bags on the ear, or in
special tanks provided, either under
the seat or on the running boards.
A roll Of chicken wire for use in
deep sand comes in handy and is bet
ter than canvas This wire may be
cut in two pieces for use under the
Two front wheels.
There is a khaki tent Of the wall
tent construction type which may be
secured from sporting goods stores,
and which is easily carried on the
back Of the car. Many tourists nova
days make no effort TO stop at hotels,
but travel until they find q good
place TO camp and soon become so &C
custOmed TO the outdoor life that

handy.
In the camping outfit a heavy

included. In this connection is a
sleeping bag much like an envelope
which contains several blankets and
which is waterproof and requires no

LIGHT CARS ARE NOT
USED ON WAR FRONT

Many erroneous Impressions have
gone out with regard TO the work
armored cars have been doing on the
French front So far as light ar
mOred cars are concerned there
scarcely has been a single case Of
their being used on the western front
because the ground is so torn up due
to shell fire that Il is impossible for
so large a target as a light armored
car to share in maneuvering work.
The protection of such cars is very
limited, even 10 the smallest ammu-
milton. This lack Of their use on the
western front can scarcely be con-
an indication Of useIessness,
however. Rather l. must be consid-
cred a restriction Of their use due TO
unfavorabIe conditions On the other
hand, the motor trucks fitted with
guns have been doing
steady, consistent work all Of the
time.

No SERIOUS TROUBLE
EXPECTED IN STEEL

In reviewing the material situation
as il affects the automotive indus
tries, it is again only possible 10 say
that future conditions are just as OBJ
scure as they have been for several
weeks past As time progresses, how
ever. there is less and less reason TO
anticipate any insurmOuntable diff
Culties. In this connection the Ameri-
can Metal Market correspondent in
PittsburE estimates that allowing for
all possible government and export
requirements these cannot exceed 40
percent OF the total as against a nor
NAL OF % percent. Meaning that do
nestle commerce Will have TO be con-
tent with 60 percent instead OF %
percent OF the total steel output Of
the country. The same writer also
calls attention TO the fact that short

WOMAN IS DRIVER
OF AN AMBULANCE

Ethel Staples IS an EnglishwOman.
More than that. she drives a war am
bulance. More than that she gives it
complete care. Miss Staples volun-
teers this information IN a letter from
London to the Cadillac Motor Car com
pany. She says that she has driven
an eight cylinder Cadillac ambulance
seven days a week for the past three
months. and that everything has gone
and is going lovely. In her letter she
asks for a book Of instructions. so
that she may familiarize herself more
thoroughly with the cars mechanical

ECONOMY
TESTS STILL OPEN

John i. BuquOr announces that the
$4,000 Liberty bond economy test
for Maxwell owners has been kept
open for an extra ten days and there
is still a chance for local motorists
to have a try for the big prize. So
far. the mark OF 43.5 miles 10 the
gallon Of gasoline, set by a Maxwell
used on a jitue run, is still high for
this district and second highest in
all the western states while there are
two marks by local motorists OF bet
ter than 80 miles to the gallon and
a half a dozen others better than IS
miles.

House. At the same time, they declar-
ed their belief that they would organ
lie the House from Speaker down and
some of them interpreted Mr.. Mann's
attitude as an acknowledgment of the
Republicans inability to organize the
House.
Representative Mann said he probably
would see some of the other Republican
leaders tomorrow to present his views.
He Is willing he said. to make the race
for speaker if majority of the Repub-
licans favor such course, despite his
personal belief that it would be to the
country's disadvantage. Party affairs
should have no place in the incoming
House, he said, and whether the country
is to have peace or war it is essential
that all parties unite at once to expe-
dite important business.
Some of the party spokesman tonight
predicted that the entire organization
will be completed within few hours aft
er Congress convenes next Monday.
Confidence is expressed among both
Democrats and Republicans that the
House will work tremendously after the
brush over organization.
The opinion is general that the session
will not last more than two months.
