work. The official figures of national
park attendance show more than
million visitors last summer, and
this season the figures most likely
win run to a million and a quarter.
OF these about 70 per cent travel in
their own cars. And q good big per-
centage are fixed for camping. The
National Park service says In its 1920
annual report:
Final travel figures, reaching a to-
tal of 1,058,455 visitors, show healthy
and substantial growth of American
tourist travel In America. This travel
has now reached a proportion where
1t must be seriously considered as an
economic factor in our national life.
Surely travel of this proportion is not
born Of merely a restlessness on the
part Of our fellow citizens to be going
somewhere just for the going, but de-
notes deeper feeling, pride Of coun-
try, desire to see and know their
land and to make that use of their ma
tlonal parks for which these play
grounds were created.
"Just as the rail lines brought people
to the parks from every state in the
Union and from many foreign coun-
tries, so were motorists recorded trav-
cling in private cars from every state
and from Canada and Mexico. More
than half of these carried their own
supplies and camp equipment and en-
joyed their Fairgrounds in their own
way"
The plain truth of the matter is
whisper it-that the camping-out
folks at the peak of the season often
Jared better than the stay-at-a-hotel
folks for the simple reason that things
got decidedly iammed up in August at
several of the principal parks.
Rocky Mountain, for example, had
2400 visitors-it's the nearest to the
travel and population center-and So
600 autos. And hundreds were turned
away for lack of hotel acCOmmoda-
tons, OF course the mOtor-gypsies
weren't turned away; there's always
room for them in its 400 square miles,
This year therell be more hotel ac-
commodations-Nnd likewise bigger
auto camps, as in all the principal ma
tional parks.
This motorgypsying is increasing
like an unfought forest fire. And why
not2 1t appeals so many ways.
In the first place, it's cheap.
have run across many an outfit that
were having the time of their lives on
lnighty little money. One old farmer
from Nebraska put his case in nut
shell thus:
Here we are-me and my wife and
our five children. I've been wanting
for years to show 'em this country,
but couldn't stand the expense. Now
I've got car, and it's all right. Tray
cling this way won't cost much more
than staying at home. And good
time--well, say"
But don't fool yourself into thinking
that it's question of mere dollars
and cents with all the gypsies. You'll
see the most expensive cars as well
as flivvers. And in them will be peO-
pie who don't have to count their dol
lars. The idea, you see, is based

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test OF years
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Ady.

upon one of the oldest and funda-
mental instincts Of the race-the call
of the open road.
For Joy is the law of the open road,
And glad are its ways, its laughter
free;
Away with your town-wrought weary
load,
Come hit the trail with ms"
And In this matter Of gypsying, we've
got the gypsy beat to a fragile. The
mileage that can he covered is limited
only by the length of vacation time. l
know Of one family last summer that
started from Philadelphia June u and
returned September II. They visited
Rocky Mountain. They climbed Pixies
Peak. They saw the petrihed forest
on the way to Los Angeles over the
Santa Fe trail From San Francisco
they went to the Yosemite, and thence
back home over the Lincoln highway
just about 10000 miles, camping al
ways, except when conditions were too
unfavorable.
Conditions in this year Of 1921 and
the trend of public opinion warrant
the prediction that it will be only a
few years before an American motor
gypsy will be able to start at the At
lantic coast and make the round trip
to the Pacific on good roads and camp
Ing by the roadside in comfort on pub
lie ground-natiOnal, state, county,
municipal and local parks. That is
the keynote of the campaign begun
last summer at the national conference
on parks at Des MONIES.
1t is a shame to talk about making
money in connection with mOtor-gypsy-
Ing and trout streams and snow-clad
peaks, but here goes: Suppose every
one of these 100000 gypsies who Wis
tied the national parks scattered an
average of 800 along his route. That
means 100000 American dollars
kept at home and put in circulation
ana business for all sorts of people
along the road. DO a little figuring
for yourself along this line, guessing
at the number of mOtOr-gypsies there
were In addition to those who visited
the national parks.
The best thing about all is that the
people are beginning to get 1t through
their heads that the national parks be-
long to them And they are begin
ming to use them. And maybe it isn't
a good thing for the people and coun-
tryl Maybe it doesn't make for ae-
quaintance and mutual respect and
democracy
| saw in the Big Thompson canyon
in Rocky Mountain National park a
bunch of several cars-dif'erent makes
from several different sections Of the
country and carrying several different
kinds of families. Well, the women
were getting lunch ready and the chill
dren were playing together and the
men were whipping the Big Thompson
close by for trout. Enough said.
This 1921 civilization of ours IS
pretty compleX-maybe too complex to
be "sane, safe and sober" Nature Is
about the best antidote for a good
many of its Ills. And gypsylng by auto
mobile isn't the worst way in the
world to get fairly close to nature,

will start out with a
camping equipment and solemn vow
TO camp by the roadside every single
night. Some of them will keep the
vow they swore, but many will fall by
the wayside-instead Of camp-and
the Johnny-on-th e-spot hotel will get
their hard-earned dollars. Others of
the gypsies will run on $3.50 schedule
camp when the camping is good, and
the hotel for them at other times.
OF course the first hundred or so
miles are the hardest on Middle West
gypsies, for the nearer they get to the
Rockies the more numerous and pre-
tentious are the auto-camps. Pretty
soon they get into a country where
every self-respecting community offers
a really comfortable camp, with rum
ming water, wood, fireplaces, electric
lights an eyerythin'.
While there will be mOtOr-gypsylng
all over the land the rush will un-
doubtedly be to the national parks of
the Rockies and beyond. The fame of
the "Delectable Mountains" Is abroad
In the land, To the people Of the sun
baked Middle West the thought Of a
land where they will sleep under
blankets is impelling. And actually
to need sweater morning and eve
nings And trout streams that are

Could anybody get to it? l said he

He asked how far it was. l told him
that 1t was Just about five miles, with
q climb Of 1000 feet and gave him de-
tails of the trail. Then he let out a
yell--a Texas yell-and dashed back
to the tlivver. Then followed an ex-
cited confab all four talking at once.
Then away went the flivver, full speed
ahead for the slope of Longs-snow-

June %. In the short time since then
much work of organizing has been
done, and not a little progress has
been made along many line of perma.
nent character. It is too early, how.
ever, to state fully the plans that are
yet being worked out in the board and
in committees, for some of them may
have to be changed. But one very
definite promise can be made. The
pride that the members felt over the
acquisition Of their own club house
will not be lowered. The will to do
is more than half the victory. The
members have shown that sort of will
The largeness of the opportunity for
the club to be of real benefit to the
community can not fail to keep that
will alive; and in the achievement
of the club the members are sure to
have a source of pride greater then
the pride of possession.

THE WOMAN'S
CLUB, INC.
BY Mildred NJ. Waterman.
Secretary

A building owned exclusively b,
women and women's clubs and uset
exclusively for women's activities is
the boast of but few places in Louisi
ana. That Baton Rouge is one is {
matter Of pride with the women Of
the capital city.
Long years ago, it is said, a big
business man brought ways anc
means discussion to head by declar.
ing that "the best way to do thing
is to do it." In 1918, the American
doughboy phrased the idea in his own
way when he gave the world the now
famous battle cry, Lets go!'
So many things have happened, SO
many things have changed, since the
beginning of the world war that 1912
seems like sway back yonder." So
way back yonder few Baton Rouge
women had the prophetic vision, and
most of them are today part of the
realization, of woman's clubhouse
that hasn't it's equal in the state.
A reasonably careful inquiry indi-
Gates that the Library Association
first tried in Baton Rouge to create
