MOTOR|ST SHOULD
 BE INDEPENDENT
 IF ROSTELRIES
(By L. R. Sorey. Branch Manager,

(By L. R. Sorey, Branch Manager,
 Western Auto Supply Agency)
 To be "as happy as tramp has always signified a happy -go-lucky life that comes from contact with the great outdoors and from wandering along the open road wherever your desires may lead. Many people never have the opportunity to experience it. They do not know the pleasure of the traveller who pitches his tent by night on any spot that suits his fancy Now everyone who possesses a motor can have a moving caravan of his own and for as long as he is in the hood to be gypsy.
 It is an easy matter to take along your own hotel and set it up by the road side when night overtakes you. The motor car has become a gasoline caravan Time and space are at your call, your freedom is absolute and the expense is less than living at home.
 The motor camping method of touring is the newest manner of en- toying the oldest pastime in the world. Although people wonder at its miraculous growth during the past year or so. this growth is not surprising for the reason that the | idea is based upon one of the oldest instincts of man-the gypsy call to 1 the open road and the gypsy way of l travelling.
 In regard to expense it is safe to | state that anyone who can afford a car and a vacation trip can afford a motor camping trip. There is no way | of travelling whereby one can cover so great distances and see such a variety of country in so short time and for so little money.
 The equipment of the gasoline caravan is a real but very definite problem. If possible it should be solved before the trip is commenced i for the different articles cost more on the road and you have no choice. The need for articles overlooked clumsy packing, unequal distribution of weight These and dozen other
 annoyances are continually cropping i up but which if planned at the star
 will greatly enhance the joy of thf
 trip. One goes camping to have fun
 not. to be annoyed. The average
 camper is not a backwoodsman who
 when night overtakes him. sometimes curls up under a tree and falls of to sleep. Roughing it is not a all necessary with all the new fnven tions for compact and convenien camping equipment is at the becl and call of the modern gypsy. j The motor-camper can, by tal1ini proper thought, make himself a
