MORE AUTO CAMPS
FOR 1928 ARE SEEN
BY OAKLAND CHIEF
Says Cities Establishing
Them Perform Legion
Service.

"The time is not far distant when
every city in the country will have
a municipal motor camp.
The fact that 800 cities now have
municipal motor camp sites consti-
tutes one of the greatest tributes
to the automobile as a factor In
helping American citizens see their
country first"
Thus c. ]. Nephler. general sales
manager of the Oakland Motor
Car Company. sums up the beneh,
of the automobile as a means OF
transcontinental travel as we'll as
the shorter summer trip, which
have grown in vogue tremendously
in the United States.
Perform Great Service.
The 800 cities having municipal
motor camp sites are performing a
service for transcontinental motor
lists and for those taking shorter
automobile trips that was hardly
thought of ten years ago. In add:-
ton to these 800 cities. dozens more
are planning camps for the 1928
season.
Hundreds of additional camr
sites are supplied on national and
State forest reserves and on pri-
vately owned grounds.
Official figures show that S.00C
campers used these municipal sites
in 1921, whereas hundreds of thou
sands more camped in the State
and national reservations.
lust IN proportion as these camr
sites increase will cross-country
touring and in general long auto
mobile touring increase. 1t is not
only profitable for the communities
to foster these camping sites but II
is profitable for the country as a
whole to have our citizens see our
own country.
Visit Small Places.
Another great advantage of the
automobile tour Is the fact that
persons making such a journey will
visit the little by-ways. the little
out-of-the-way spots. and thereby
gain a better knowledge of the
country than visiting the large
centers only when travelling by
other means of transportation. And
the health features of being out
doors in an automobile is not the
least of the benefits.
That this form of travelling
has gained tremendously may be
CLEANED from the fact that nearly
100000 passengers were carried in
motor cars in 1921 as compared to
little better than 100000 car
ried on steam railroads"

announced to the. public and with
its advent comes perhaps one OF
the most significant advancements
in automobile manufacture in the
history of the industry.
At first glance IT Is apparent TO
the observer that the New Peerless
is an entirely different design than
formerly. that 1t is longer and
and lower. and that the wheels
smaller and the tires larger.
Details of body quickly assert
themselves and the eye is pleased
to note the flowing, graceful lines
and curves, the nickeled drum-type
head lamps. nickeled Adiator of
new design. new enameled emblem
portraying a golden eagle, rampant
on a field OF green. and the combi-

which is sufficiently narrow to bring
the intersection well below the d.

The new Peerless-as 1t will be

the following: Four-passenger tour

Pele and Kama Puaa had an argu-
ment and Kama puaa went to Hale
maumau, Peles home, TO fight 1t out.
The god and goddess fought until Pele
was overcome, and she pleaded for
peace, according to the legend
I'VE shall have peace if you prom.
Use never to allow your lava to flow
through Puma or Hilo to the sea-
Kama Puaa said. Pele assented, and
she has never broken the promise,
fearing return of the hated Kama
Puaa. the legend said.
In 1880. when lava flow was pro-
ceeding toward Hilo and threatened to
destroy the city. the Princess Ruth
came from Honolulu here and, standing
near the flow, reminded Pele of her
promise and her danger from Kama
Puaa If she broke the agreement. The
flow stopped Immediately. according to
the older Hawaiiars.
