EUROPE, A CAR'PARADISE FOR
AMERICAN SEEKERS OF JOY
Member of National Club Urges u. S. Tourists
Abroad to Use Their Cars.

met. In spite Of the annoyance To-
cal taxes, usually amounting each
time to five pesetas, which the mo-
torist in Spain is called upon to pay,
he says that American motorists do
not realize what they are missing
when they omit Spain from their
itinerary. Around Seville and Ma
laga especially the country was
found to be superb, which in most
places there is no speed limit. \.
This cheerful view of motoring
in Spain Is not borne out In all re-
spects by reports from some menu
bers who have visited the peninsula
this year. No speed limit is en-
forced in the open country in Spain.
Any such regulation is superfiuous,
as in spite of the scenic attractive
ness and historic interest of much
of the country available to motor
travel, the most effectual check IL
placed on ambitious speed by the
quality Of all but a few OF the main
roads. The quality of some of the
hotels at which the tourists may be
compelled to stay, owing to long
distances and poor road surface, is
often by no means UP to the usual
American standard. A story Is re-
lated that lady, when visiting her
country estates in an outlying part
OF the peninsula, makes IL a prac-
tice to carry small folding camp
bed In her automobile, in order to
be independent of the beds in the
local inns. A supply of INSECT pow,
der also forms a part of her kit
when travelling through the remoter
regions of Spain.
Charles L. Preston, author of
several books, has just completed a
long automobile tour, covering
practically the whole of the Swiss.
French and Tyrolean Alps, embrace
ing fifty Alpine passes. Through
out the whole tour Mr.. Preston
found conditions excellent. On a
FORMER trip Mr.. Preston travelled
the whole length of Italy into SICILY
and north again through the Tren-
tina and into Czecho- Siovakia. On
mat occasion also conditions were
found feasible in every way and as
practical as before the war. There
Is even one new feature pointed out
by Mr.. Preston that presents a
definite advantage over prewar con-
ditfons. That is the fact that the
beautiful Dolomites region, which
before the war was part of Austria,
is now wholly Italian. Motorists
can now cross the Stelvio and tour
along the fine, modern mountain
roads of what was formerly called
the Tyrol without leaving Italian
territory or attending to Austrian
customs formalities. S
The Customs Triptyque, furnished
10 members of the Automobile Club
OF America, enables them to import
their automobiles duty free and
avoid payment of customs duties in
most countries. 1t takes only a few
minutes to pass an automobile
through the British, French, Span
ish or Swiss customs. though at the
italian frontier a certain amount of
delay is sometimes encountered. Al
the present time the, Triptyque is
not available for Germany, Austria
or Czecho- Slovakia.

TWO USED MOTOR
PLANS ADVOCATED
BY AUTO MAKERS
One Method Calls for
Manufacturer to Take
The Initiative.

Two possible solutions of the used
car problem have been suggested, as
the result Of q survey made by the
manufacturers among the dealers
of the country. One suggestion
calls for the manufacturer to take
the initiative; the other>is dealer
proposition. Both would have for
their object the establishment Of
definite values on used cars of all
kinds.
The nrst proposals is that each
manufacturer. in connection with
advertising OF his new cars. adver-
tise also the market price of his
older models. The other calls for
the dealers in each section OF the
country to appoint one or more pub
lie Appraisers Of used cars. similar
to real estate appraisers. These APP
praisers, for fee to be paid by
dealer. would determine the sales
value of any car submitted by dealer
or customer.
Discussing these proposals Alfred
Reeves, general manager of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce, says:
Under the first plan the manu-
facturer will advertise the sales
price of his older models In good
condition. based upon reports. from
around the country. 1t should not
be necessary to give values Of cars
less than eighteen months or more
than four years old.
The plan would give some pro-
lection to the new car dealer be-
cause a customer could hardly ask
for a greater allowance that he
knew could be obtained for his u,ed
car. Any dealer exceeding this al
lowance would do IL with the
knowledge that he is inviting a
loss. which loss he 10 apt to take by
promptly selling the car at the
known sales value. This plan. II is
felt. would increase respect for the
second hand car.
Under the second plan the deal
ers in each locality would appoint a
certain number of appraisers to ap-
praise secondhand cars offered in
trade. These men, at proper quar-
condition Of the car and issue a
value that would be recognised by
dealers.
THE dealers would pay a fee OF
Sc or more to. the appraiser, who
would be appointed for his ability,
just as certain real estate apprais-
ers are recognized by real estate
firms.
such a plan would give dealers a
fr., Ennur1AA&A ~ he vol 90 he
car. OF course, nothing could pre-
vent any dealer from allowing a
sum In excess of the appraised val
uation, but in so doing he would be
incurring a loss with his eyes open.
Customers, as a rule, expect the
dealer to make q fair profit. Own

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 20
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
Of two sizes, medium and large.
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.-Advertiscment.

1t seems that the new state capitol

capitol, renovated in 1916, are fully oc-
cupied, all available space of each
building being taken up, and there is
talk of the erection of a fireproof
building in which all the accumulated
records of a hundred years shall be
assembled and classified. IT is being
pointed out that many Of these rec
ords, which are invaluable and could
not be replaced, are stored away in
dark corners ard the finding of them
by persons who need to consult them
