new AUTOMOBILE BOOK
GIVES LENGTHY TOURS
Volume Especially Prepared to
Satisfy Desire of Those
Seeking Long Runs.

Once upon time, in the Dear Dim
Past, IL a motorist ventured eighty-six
speedometer miles away from the por-
tails of his home town, there was
mayors committee to welcome his re-
turn. the local Gazette linked his
name with that OF the late Mr. Boone
and he was somebody. No difference
If his car returned by fast freight.
He was a hero.
Nowadays a motorist who hasn't
driven his car in at least six States.
sits in jealous Silence in the back OF
any self-propelled gathering and re-
solves to bust out at the first oppor-
tune moment on a long distance tour.
The reason Is obvious. No one
merely drives a car any more. He
tours. or he loses caste at the club
and his Mrs. Is pitied every Tuesday
before she arrives for bridge
But the six Staters and even those
who own and use FIVE different vol
umes of the Automobile BiuH Books
aren't satisfied. More and more OF
them are speaking of the coast to
coast trip as a "jaunt." And Loutsi-
ant licenses aren't common In Bos-
ton as-well. as Massachusetts IL
censes are in San Diego.
The long tour IS long no longer.
And recognizing this fact. and be-
cause of tons of inquiries, the makers
Of the Automobile Blue Books have
added another to their volumes OF
road guidance.
The Transcontinentaf Volume
"Volume T"-just published, is new
tour bible especially built to satisfy
that lust for long tours.
While the minute details OF the
other volumes are not included the
tourist may travel where he will over
main routes to any prominent point
within the four walls of America and
have complete road guidance every
mile of the way.
Volume T, say the Blue Book
scouts, contains $4,000 miles of
roads-not including return routes
and considering that it Is only about
3,400 miles from San Francisco to New
York, the scope of the information
included can be appreciated.
Besides indicating the best roads
for the longtour motorist there are
hundreds of city and sectional maps,
roints of interest, information on
hotels, garages, service stations-in
fact, most of the merits of the more
local volumes on a broader scale.
Our guess is that 1t is going to
bring out the Daniel Boones of motor

EXPECT YANKS TO WIN
OLYMPIC BIKE RACE
American Riders Show Up Strong
at Elimination Contests
Last Sunday.

There is good reason for placing
great hopes in the United States
Olympic cycle team. whose makeup
was determined by the final elimina-
tion races last Sunday. It's a good
bet that the American riders viii win
In Belgium.
When one takes into consideration
that the riders had to meet in the
road race over the 1O8.74-miles course
on Long Island and the time they
made in spite of everything, It looks
like clear sailing for our team. Rid
ing over 100 miles of soft road is no
easy job on warm day. And when
the roads are jammcd with automo-
biles it takes all the rest of the joy
out of life. Luckily not one of the
thirty-five riders who started was hit

PROFESSOR PUZZLED AT
BREAKDOWN OF TIRES
Discovers Scraping Along Curb Is
Cause-His Enlightenment
Comes From Dealer.

Here is a little story-a true one
"bout professor in science at Yale
md his first automobile. a handsome
odan equipped with everything
ancy, including a set of cord tires.
The professor had lot of fun
learning to drive and got by with
out a penny of expense until after
700 miles of travel, he found that the
front tire on the right side of the
car was going to pieces. He took the
worn tire off and replaced it with a
Few shoe, only to find that it broke
own in exactly the same way in
less than 1000 miles. Then he talked
1T over with his tire dealer, who
promptly asked him whether in driv-
ing up to curb he was in the habit
of letting the tire Craze along the
curb. Receiving an affirmative
answer. the tire man explained that
such treatment would ruin any tire.
Every time a driver allows his
tire to scrape along a curb, he
scrapes several dollars in wear off
the tire" says the United Statee Tire
Company. The grinding causes the
rubber covering to break away from
the carcass and at times does harm
to the carcass itself"

Wdnamaker Goods

Wanamaker china is known to be of the

1t is also well understood that we could
never afford to deal in a questionable kind.
There is such thing as mean quality

out dishes of mean quality.
We are equally vigilant regarding quail

something for which we have neither time
nor liberation.
In this half-yearly sale there are no

chases of rare interest.

mahogany and of ships to

in which it grows. Ma

just a tree or group of
trees growing here and

over the other trees.
