get around to- After days of driv- ing on saw-tooth, stone embroidered roads, long distance auto fans who have caravaned in Speed Wagons say the Rec commercial car is the most practical vehicle for the various driving conditions encountered on transcontinental tour.
 On September 1, pr. II. A. Haze, a prominent physician of Lansing, returned to the Michigan capital af- ter an overland trip to the Pacific coast in a Speed Wagon caravan With Dr. Haze were his son Billy, Don Southworth and the latter's two young boys. The party left Lam sing on July F. arriving at Pasadena, August 23. A total of 4,552 miles was covered in 42 days of combined driving and camping.
 MT. and Mrs. Don Scranton of Con- cord, Michigan, are spending more than a year in a transcontinental trip in their Speed Wagon. The Scran- tons left home the fifth of September, 1920, followed the, Lincoln highway to Cheyenne, then through the Rocky Mountain National Park. From there they motored to Mexico and later re- turned to Seattle. The second lap of their tour will take them through Yellowston park and Michigan and will end in Florida.

 GREAT DIVIDE

Tn recent years a new and unique -orfn of travel has developed by which inside workers can get their sill of the outdoors and cover broad tracts of land with amazing speed and unusual comfort. The vehicle is he Caravan-a motor car equipped with whatever conveniences for liv- ing. eating and sleeping the owner desires and can afford. The routes are limited only by the distances be- tween the two oceans.
 Caravans are becoming common sight on the highways and side roads of America and caravaning is getting to be a national habit like golf or orange pelSoe. People who caravan pack up their car with blankets, mos quito bar. food, guns and fishing rods and start out on a ten thousand mile drive from Ypsilanti to Old Mexico via Los Angeles, without so much as a gasp of astonishment from their neighbors. These nomads on pneumatics formerly used automo- piles, but the Speed Wagon brought a new degree of comfort to the transcontinental journey. The wan derers found the Speed Wagon ideal

 SHOW POSITIONS

The strength of the position taken by the National Automobile Cham Der of Commerce in. passing its awards for honor position at the National Automobile Shows only upon actual figures of business done, reported by each manufacture. is readily appar- ent.
 The percentage method of deter mining the leading automobile com pany would be manifestly unjust to many companies whose yearly volume runs into many thousands of cars like Buick which has again been awarded this position at the Shows this year.
 A manufacturer who made but 500 cars last year might increase his pro- duction to 1000 cars this year-a 100 per cent increase-yet its coDtribu- tion to the automobile industry as a whole would be immeasurably less than that of a manufacturer who built 50,000 cars last year and brought his volume of business for the follow ing year up to 75.000 cars-an in crease of only 50 per cent. Percentages don't exactly lie, but they frequently are misleading.
