AUTOISTS' EQUIPMENT ON
TOUR SHOULD BE SIMPLE

Thousands Of motorists are just
| now planning transcontinental auto.
mobile trips, and the subject of equip
ment is one which is very important
to them. There prevails an opinion
that it is necessary to carry from 200
to 500 pounds of QUILTING. This is
a mistake, however. Tourists have
learned that much is carried on these
trips that Is not necessary.
One of the first thugs, according
to an experienced tourist, is the con.
sideration of car He believes that a
medium weight car Of fair horsepower
and plenty of clearance Is best The
seats of such a Ctr must be high
enough so that the occupant Of the
car may sit for hours without cramp-
ing.
In the matter of equipment there
may be included a Ratchet, crowbar,
shovel, some cotton rope Of about 100
diameter, pulley blocks, one or two
boards to hold the jack when forced
to work in soft going, and above all
extra oil, grease and gasoline in cans
under the seat. Provision should be
made to carry as muc1 water as pos
sible, in water bags on the car, 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
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 now
adays make no effort to stop at
hotels, but travel until they find a
good place to camp and soon become
SO accustomed to the outdoor life that
hotel stoppages are tabooed.
In undertaking a camping trip a roll
Of mosquito net should be taken. An
outfit of aluminium ware, consisting
of three pals, a coffee pot, two fry
ing pans, plates, cups, bowls and
spoons, all fitting snugly into a three
gallon pail, may be purchased. Knives
and forks should not be forgotten. A
table oil cloth viii be handy.
In the camping outfit a heavy elder,
down or cotton quilt should be in
cluded. In this connection Is a sIeen
ing bag much like an envelope which
contains several blankets and which
is waterproof and requires no tent
problem.

KEEP MONEY IN CIRCULATION
AND DON'T GET FRIGHTENED
J. K McApne, in Another Of His Articles Business Pros
perty Says the PopuIace Should Not Go Around With Last
Years Hat But Continue to Buy-f You Fail to Buy Shoes
and Automobiles You Put So Many People Out OF Work

the thousands that make shoes out Of
work.
Stop buying new clothes and you
throw the hundreds of thousands en-
gagged in the clothing business for
men and women out of work.
Economic in a dozen different d.
rections, and you throw out of work
a dozen great groups Of workers.
The automobile industry in the
United States now supports over
100000 people, what do you think
will be the effect on them if you stop
buying automobiles?
Force hard times, lack Of employ
ment upon others in the nation, and
you will suffer. Go along In the usual
common sense way, getting what you
need, spending as usual a fair share
Of what you earn, saving, as usual,
what a reasonable man saves, and
this country Of ours will not be trou-
bled by any financial problem during
the length of this war.
Make up your mind to do that IA
nous "bit for your country" by being
not bit frightened, and if anything,
spending a bit more than usual to
show that you intend to keep things
going. Why wouldn't it be good
plan to make it your hobby to start
automobile talk wherever you hear
war talk? Let's try it.

STATES
EXPORTS
NUMBER OF CARS
Packard Agency Established in
All Leading Cities of South
American Republics

The year before the war began
European manufacturers exported
$S0,0O0,000 worth of motor vehicles,
passenger cars and trucks. TO South
America, Africa, Australia and the
Far East. Within the last few months
the United States has oeen beginning
to get its share of this business.
In line with this development, the
Packard Motor Car company has re
organized its export department, with
Fred Cardway as manager. Cardway
last winter made trip to South
America and surveyed the possible
market for American automobiles. He
established dealerships for Packard
cars in Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires
and Montevideo. On the same trip
some dealerships in the West Indies
were organized.
"Since Americas entry into the war
the Packard's business has shown a
substantial increase" says Cardway.
Spain leads all foreign countries in
Brazil and Argentina are making
rapid strides. In the last few months
the West Indian countries have been
sending in orders for both trucks and
passenger cars.
IF Packard business car be re-
garded as a barometer, business Of
American manufacturers with foreign
countries, not including those now at
war, is not as usual but increasingly
better"
Cardway expressed the belief that
the volume of foreign business with
countries not at war will be much
larger this year than at any time
since the beginning of the war.

WASHINGTON. D. Gin 1916
there were 1867, 1892 more motor cars
registered in the United States than
IA 1915. This was an increase OF 43
per cent. The gross total Of reg.
istered cars, including commercial
cars, was 3,512,99b; the number Of
MOTORCYCLES registered was 250,S20.
The several states collected In regis
tration and license fees, including
those Of chauffeurs and operators, a
total gross revenue Of $25,S65, 1853. Is.
OF this amount, 90 per cent, or $751;

ance of the public roads In % states,
according TO figures compiled by the
office of, public roads Of the United
states department OF agriculture, IN
circular 73, Automobile Registra-
lions, Licenses and Revenues in the

The figures for 1915 correspond
very closely with the annual per
cenotage Of motor car registration OF
the last three years. This yearly in
crease has averaged 40 per cent In
the number Of cars and 90 per cent In
avenues. r.. ..
When viewed over period Of
years, the increase in motor car reg
istration and gross revenue has been
remarkable. In 1906 the total state
registrations were approximately g..
600 cars, on account of which the sew
5 eral states collected IN fees and IL
senses q total gross revenue OF
about $4,000. Only q email part OF
this was applied to road work In
