that a man can drive his own auto

One nice thing about long auto
mobile tour is that the tourist gets a
chance to meet a great many nice peO-
pie and learns how the government
regulates the price of gasoline. We
have one Of the freest forms Of gov
eminent In the world, and when gasO
line gets too high in one place all a
man has to do Is TO drive on TO some
point where IL is a few cents higher.
This tends to keep the tourist in an
amiable and cOntented frame Of mind.
and also encourages the building Of
stane-front garages which are often
mistaken for the hotel.
The tourist does not need to take
much Of anything with him except q
few extra tubes and money. 1t is as
tonishing how fast money will Ooke
away from q tourist who has never
done anything to his own car except

Johnson Says.
Ry Associated Press to Every Evening.

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening.
Chicago, Dec. So.-Ban Johnson,
American League president, today ex-
planned the reason for the Jack Rah-
bit" baseball Of the 1921 season. which
tipped from the bat with such start
ling speed. The lively ball. which
some players say was responsible for
some of the sensational batting last
summer, had been attributed by n
portion OF the fans, TO some sort of
inside baseball intrigue.
The real cause, said Johnson, was
simply that manufacturers were again
able to obtain good yarns for the
spheres. When the war made It inn
possible to use the better yarn, a
cheaper grade wns substituted, ne ex-
planned. and wrapped more tightly
than had been the custom. When bet
ter yarn was again available the
manufacturers failed. at first, to go
back TO the old method of winding
Another cause. he added, was that
the rubber covering OF the cork cores
was sometimes uneven in thickness
SO that when the batter connected,
where there was a good depth OF rub
ber. the ball streaked away in sensa-
iional fashion.
