AUTO GYPSIES ARE
ASSETS TO TOWNS
IN WESTERN HILLS
Denver Establishes Three Camp
ing Parks for Gasoline Wan
derers From East.

Right under our nose a new sport
has sprung up and is growing faster
than any other form OF recreation.
This is the enjoyable, economical.
healthful, common.sense sport OF
motor camping.
In the Far West II has already
gained tremendous Roadway; In the
East people are just beginning to real
ize that the automobile offers extra
ordinary opportunities for ameliorat.
ing conditions imposed by the land
lord, for gathering health and pleas
ure at minimum expense, and Tor TAX
ing advantage of the benefits OF life
in the woods and fields with more
freedom and infinitely less trouble
than any previously known method OF
seeking the outdoors.
Trailers For Outfit.
Motor camping is done in several
ways. Probably a majority OF the in.
creasing army Of gasoline gypsies pile
a carefully selected assortment Of
equipment into touring car or sedan
and set forth. Others employ com.
mercial trailers for carrying the tents,
beds. pots and pans and hundreds Of
whatnots necessary to life in the. open.
A growing number use camping
trsilers which are fitted with pantry.
icebox. tables, chairs. screens, stoves,
and sleeping accommodations for
from four to six people. And still
others have special camping cars built
on their own chassis. These latter
range from .five.ton trucks 10 the ubiq-
uitous fliver.
Along with the sport, is growing a
new industry. Camping equipment Is
improving rapidly in quality, COM
pactness and utility. and IL manufac-
tured by an increasing number Of
companies. Fifteen or twenty con-
Germs are building camping trailers
for from 1925 to 1900. A few firms
have been organized to build camping
bodies on standard chassis.
The motor wanderer is a cashable
asset. Western towns recognize this
by equipping vacant land near their
business centers as camping parks.

Dodge Brothers Is

An Auto Firm

Dodge Brothers, Inc, is an in
stitution, but Dodge Brothers lis
an individual.
Which, though it sounds some
what involved and perhaps even
enigmatic, is but a very simple
and very truthful statement.
Fifteen months ago a son was
born to Mr.. and Mrs. George E.
Brothers. Cleveland, Ohio. Mr..
Brothers, it happens, is a sales
man for the Barnes Motor Co.,
Cleveland dealer for Dodge Broth
ers. He had been selling the
Dodge Brothers car a long time
and was exceedingly proud of it.
He was also exceedingly proud of
his son. So he decided on
simultaneous tribute to the two.
The youngster was christened
Dodge"
Master Dodge Brothers is
very bright young gentleman and
gives promise of achieving a re-
nown quite in proportion with the
weight of his name.

Miss Goodwin, who is a sister Of

Major Totten and his bride expect

TRUCK TIRES ARE
SER|0USPROb[EM;;
ADVICE IS NEEDED
U. S. Company Decides to Es-
tabIish Engineering Branch
to Aid Users.

Truck users are coming to realize
that tires have a very important part
in successful truck operation, and that
the tires are a separate problem from
the truck itself.
II has been hard to get sound ad-
vice regarding tires. II has not al
ways been easy for a tire manufactur-
err to advise the use of some kind OF
equipment which he did not himself
manufacture.
Take, for instance, the subject OF
pneumatic truck tires. The advice re-
garding the use of these tires has been
both confusing and incorrect in nearly
all cases. Many a truck owner has
learned by expensive experience that
the pneumatic has a clearly prescribed
field, and that the use OF pneumatics
outside this field means the waste OF
money.
Wrong Tires Used.
AS much money is wasted today on
wrong tires as on poor ones. Some
truck owners wonder why their bills
are so high while others are moderate.
The answer is to be found in many
cases in the fact that the wrong type
or the wrong size of tires has been Sc
lected
No truck owner needs 10 De tOiu
that the problem is a real one. The
uses to which trucks are put are so
varied and the types and sizes OF
tires are so numerous that II is
very easy matter to select the wrong
tire for some particular kind Of haul
age.
In the interest of greater economy.
the USited States Tire Company has
established a technical service de-
partment. made up Of tire engineers.
which will give impartial. disinter-
ested advice to everybody engaged
| in truck operation. A full statement
OF any tire problem from any truck
operator in the world will bring a
detailed reply from the department,
giving the latest scientific information
on the points involved. Making

WASHINGTON, March 2.--"I am not standing in another mans shoes, " George B. Grigsby told the House yesterday while making his unsuc- cessful fight to retain his seat as Delegate from Alaska.

 MT. Grigsby said Judge Wicker sham came to the House in the closing days of the session to make "his biennial contest raid on the Treasury of the United States, build ing up his contest by attacking the title to the seat held by dead man. Charles Sulzer.'
 This is nothing but an attempt to grab off salary and allowances of $21,O0O for Wickersham on a tech nicality,' he asSerted.

FALL OF SOVIET
 RULE IN RUSSIA
 BELIEVED NEAR
Heavy Fighting Reported in
 Progress, at .Petrograd - And Elsewhere.

LONDON, March 2.-Today's des- patches from Russia, received at Helsingfors by way of Esthonia, dis close a situation which may result shortly in complete overthrow of Soviet rule" according to Central News advices.
 Three hundred thousand strikers ere said to be arrayed against the Soviet Government at Pctrograd where heavy fighting is believed to be in progress. Many are reported killed on both sides.
 One report says the naval gar risen at Kronstadt has joined the rebels.
 The suburbs of Petrograd are re- ported completely in control of the insurgents.
 Premier Nicolai Lenine and Min ister of War Leon Trotsky are both said to have fled from Moscow. where serious uprising salso have taken place, and to be fleeing to- ward the Crimca, where the Bol- sheviki army apparently has not yet become affected by, the mutiny which is taking place among divi- cions stationed in Petrograd and Moscow
 Reports received here today in official British circles confirm des- rGtches telling of serious anti-Bol- sheviki uprising in Russia but the latest official news, however, does not indicate that the Soviet autnori- ties have lost control of the situation
