PRACTICAL HINTS FOR MOTOR CAMPER A Few Pointers That May Help the Novice on Eve
 of Long Trips

For one-night camps in a settled sec- tion of the country it is proper and dis tinctly advisable to procure permission to pitch the camp in somebody's grove, or wood lot, or may be orchard. Such per mission is rarely refused if the request is accompanied with a promise to leave no litter on the ground when leaving. Toward the evening select a suitable spot that appeals, near farm house where usually may be procured fresh milk and eggs ad probably even a loaf of home made bread or a jar of home preserved fruit. If possible camp on high ground, not too near water, on account of mo- squitoes. In the midlle west country schoolhouse yards frequently make good and convenient camp sites. with good water at the pump and a stick of wood available for the fire. But be sure to break camp in time to get away before the children arrive for school in the

 Even casual inspection of the 1920 vol umes is said to show how Widespread has ben the new highways development.

Eeral information has been expended so that there is not a single interesting point in the country which does not receive mention in the new volumes, it Is claimed.

morning, and leave no unsightly paper litter or garbage around.
 In most of the western towns and cities the community provides a free camp ground for motor car tourists and fur nishes free wood, water, often electric light and even shower baths It's the ex- tended hand of welcome and godspeed.
 For more permanent camp it is e course advisable td choose the site with greater care, especially keeping in view the proximity of wood and water. Pitch the tent preferably on elevated and slight ly sloping ground and avoid hollow places. Ii possible, choose partly shaded spot, but near the open. Never choose a site near dead timber or dense woods, to avoid fire danger. as well as bugs and insects

Don't Use Too Much French Chalk

It is an excellent thing to sprinkle some French chalk or tale in the shot before putting in the tube, but don't be prodigal in the use of it, for too much is worse than not any. If there is an excess of chalk it is apt to roii up into little balls and the continual friction of the tuoe against these will very soon do mater.al damage to the tube. In fact, there have been instances where the tube was liter ally chewed to pieces-so badly damaged that it was found impractical to repair it.

EACH HAVE OWN WORK

Each member of a party should have his or her allotted task Thus while one gets out the tent, erects it and pre- pares the cots and bedding, another will get the stove, if one is used, ready and unpack the pots, pans, dishes and food, while still another, ifthere are that many in the party, will hustle the wood, light the fire and bring the water. Should there be a fourth member, it will be his or her lot to wash the dishes and pots when the meal is over, task which lad best be shifted from time To time, as nobody likes to wash dishes. The main thing is that everybody is good fellow" willing to do his or her share. In truth, willing hands make light " ork." A stacker is sure to spoil the good comradship which should prevail in

order to make camp life thoroughly en- l joyable.
 1 A tent should be well staked down ant guyed in order to shed water and resist windstorm properly.
 1 A shallow V shaped trench on the up- i hill side, and with the apex furthest from
 the tent wall. the wings reaching well | beyond the tents corners will, in case l of storm, lead the water to each side
 of the tent and prevent the floor from
 getting soaked.
 FOOD SUPPLY VARIES | Of course the food supply of q camp l ing party will vary according 10 ras,-
 and the money expended It is not neces- l sary on motor car camping tours to carry l a big quantity of groceries and canned 1 goods, as supplies may generally be pru cured at numerous places during the day s ] journey and thus be readily replenished
 at frequent intervals, so as to save weight 1 and bulk. However, enough for at least l a couple of days rations should always be carried in case of accident or emergency, 1 and if a more permanent camp is estab- l liShed in a more or less remote region a
 larger supply is naturally necessary. Herewith are some suggestions for the commissary, the quantity depending on
 the size of the party:
 | Salt pork, bacon, smoked ham, canned
 meats and fish, concentrated soups, but
 ter, lard or vegetable substitute, evap- i orated milk or milk powder, prepared | baking powder, fresh bread, vegetables
 and fruit when obtainable, potatoes, rice, 1 dehydrated vegetables, canned baked

 Therefore After due consideration of the qualifications of the men sug- gested for the nomination of President by the democratic party, which party is made up so largely of wage earners, we recommend to the leaders of that party, and to the people of our nation, Hon. William Gibbs McAdoo, of New York, former secretary of the treasury, as one eminently fitted by nature, training and experience for President of the United States, who we believe will do his full duty to the people of America i'll a square, manly fashion, and play no favorites, and who we know by his record in office will put all his great talents and splendid energies into serving all the people all the time, and we pledge our support of him If nom- mated.
 And to make this stand by us so far as we can effective, we direct the sending of these resolutions to the off cers of other organized bodies, and to the men named to the national demo- cratic convention, for their respectful consideration.

THE ONE MAN STRIKE"
Federal Employees Greatly Aided by A. F. of L.
 Affiliation.

Hartford, March 26.-A 17th century | man, dominated by a narrow spirit of | pettiness and bigotry and totally out of | sympathy with the men i'll the postal service was the characterization of Post master General Albert Burleson by | Thomas F. Flaherty, national secretary of the National Federation of Postal Employees, Sunday afternoon, at meet ing of Local No. 147 of the National Federation of Postal Employees in Eagles hall.
 MT. F1aherty said that if the Amer ican people do not become aware of the condition of collapse that is fast ap- preaching in the national postal service, due largely to the inefficiency of the postmaster general, and retire Bur1eson to private life, the saying that is be- coming popular in certain quarters, "The postal service began with Benja- min Franklin and ended with Albert Burleson" will be fitting epitaph.
 "'The one man strike that is now in progress in the government service is more serious than collective strike would be-" Flaherty said. Ut is going on quietly today, at a time when the postmaster general is extolling the efficiency of his department to the business men of the country in well d strike of the postal employees were call- and Attorney General Palmer would put the machinery of the government in op- eration to rectify conditions. This one man strike, men continually leaving the service, is caused by the ineficiency of the department that forces the men to work under antiquated conditions and does not take note of the necessity for certain changes because of the decided change in living conditions"
 The advantages that the postal em- ployes were deriving from affiliation with the American Federation of Labor were discussed by Flaherty to some length. He told of the bills at present before Congress or being formulated for presentation looking for improve ment of conditions and showed how he and the other three representatives of the postal employees were greatly assist ed in their labors on account of this affiliation.
 The federations are Waging com bined fight to defeat the one cent letter postage bill that the department is ad- vocating," Flaherty said, because 1t will not be benefit to the people and will work a decided hardship on the postal clerks. It will mean a curtailment of $25,000,000 in revenue. At present the postal authorities are saying that the revenues are not sufficient to raise wages. Labor cost is 80 per cent of the postal cost. One cent postage for drop letters will be benefit to the large corporations only. It is doubtful if it woudl benefit them even, because under would be treated as circular matter"
 The other speaker was Patrick Hig- gins president of the New York City Local No. 8l. He told of the dark. days of the federation only 13 years ago when to advocate unionism among pos tai clerks was considered as rank heresy and those who did have the temerity to do so were ranked with the most radical opponents of the government
