Travel Notes.

We have reached the time in the
day of the automobile when the trip
from the Atlantic to the Pacific is no
longer considered by the motorist as
the zone big thing" still to be ac-
complished by him. 1t is getting to
be almost case of 'strap on an extra
tire, throw in box of crackers and a
POUND or so of cheese and be away"
the motorist we'll knowing that all
along the route he will fin dfairly
good roads and plenty of provisions.
The camping motorist may pitch his
tent anywhere along the road, while
the fellow who desires the hotel life
may find "feed and lodging" at every
nights stand.
A few days ago motorist called at
the headquarters of the Automobile
Club of Southern California, 1874
Figueroa street, OILS Angeles, to learn
the condition of the National Old
Trails route to the east. An acquain-
tance, who was aware of the fact that
this motorist, on recent trip east,
lad shipped his machine by freight,
asked if he was going to do the same
thing this time.
Not on your life," responded the
motorist promptly. "I'm going to be
real tourist, this time. On this trip
I'm going to see the country and not
try to establish a record"
That's the way they are all begin
n,ng to think-and act The fact of
the matter is that there is absolutely
M reason for the motorist who knows
bis machine and understands how to
handle it should hesitate to embark
Upon trip across the country. The
roads are good and the entire National
