WORLDS RECORD
MOTORCYCLE TOUR
BY dad" BARRETT

The following letter from j.
Dad" Barrett, of Omaha, reached
the secretary's office of the Motor
cycle & Allied Trades association,
Chicago. recently, and is of I'M
usual interest:
I'VE arrived home all Q. X. on
June 80. as weeks and two days
touring, 11,765 miles, 81 states,
Canada, and District of Columbia.
Wore out two driver castings, ono
front casing, and one sidecar cas-
ing, burned 3G7 gallons of gasoline
which cost us SS9.5S, twenty-four
gallons of oil which cost us $2S.05.
total expense for the trip includ-
ing everything except repairs on
machine, which we cannot esti-
mate as nearly all was donated by
the different dealers we assisted
in boosting the sport, amounted to
very little as we had practically
no mechanical trouble, S904.35, or
an average of 1897 per week,
which includes living, clothes,
amusements, sightseeing, picture
taking, gas and oil, castings and
inner tubes. This, with a 1850
pound load on a "A cubic inch mo-
tor, with double sidecar, carrying
four people, camping equipment,
cooking equipment. photograph
equipment. and protector and
slides with screen and motion pic
ture film for travelogue lecture
work.
"This, we contend. is a worlds
record tour, in the fact that it was
self promoted with the idea OF
boosting the sport of touring with
a motorcycle and gathering views
from the different parts of the
country, to boost the sport with,
without a dollar invested in the
sport other than what we had in
vested in our own personal ma
chine and the desire to preach the
gospel of the great outdoors to
our fellow riders, that they might
gather a desire to so and do like
wise"
Mr.. Barrett is a man of wonder
full activity considering he is well
past so years of age, and he at
tributes his strength and vitality
to his outdoor life.

his food trout from the streams
or duck from the marshes, Or
anges from California, olives
from Spain, all Of the luxuries of
the world and of the region served
on fine linen-what of his hard
ships?
No "Roughing 1t" Now
There are none. He can live as
easily, or as strenuously, as he
chooses. He can take his tent and
kit and rod and gun along, if he
likes, and camp by a running
stream at the days end, and trail
his fly across a pool, and know the
scent of coffee making, and bacon
crisping alongside fat trout. Or
he can command the service of
Michigan Boulevard and the cui-
sine of Times Square.
And where the immigrants
scanned the sand, or sought for
markings on the trees or stones,
to find the way that Whitman and
the others went, he can "let her
out" and follow with unworried
mind past intersections and de-
tours the guide signs that show
the roads everywhere. The trails
are -blazed, the routes are laid out
clearly and Enthusiastically. The
uncertainties which disturbed and
delayed travellers of the past are
gone.
These blazod trails are the

with the ST. r." Of the cartoonists
Of 1908 in blue on the red. The
Evergreen Highway, from Salt
Lake City to Puget Sound, is des-
ignated by a green tree on white
field, with green bands at top and
bottom.
But even these trail markers, or
blazings, would leave a multitude
of questions unanswered in the
mind of the tourist were it not
for the remarkable comprehensive
and accurate official auto trails
maps issued as pocket folders.
Taken in conjunction with the
maps, however, the blazed trails
are open books to convenience,
comfort and luxury.
Mapping Out a Vacation
The wayfarer on the Yellow
stone Trail at Zero, Montana,
headed toward the Park, sees on
his map that the next considerable
town is Miles City, at an eleva-
ton of 1855 feet, with a popula-
ton of 1887. The hotel and

tons. Today it is laced with high
ways-the old Oregon Trail, but
how different!-and a dozen others
as magniticently conceived and
wrought. The country through
which they pass, much of it, is
still untouched. The bear and
deer still haunt the hills, the
mountain lion glides like a shad-
ow through the tangle of UNDER
growth, the coyote sings from the
lonely butte his nocturnal re-
QUEEN. Yet by easy marches on
the trails, and at their termini, is
the luxury of fine hotels, the re-
finements which the struggle of
all the years, everywhere, has pro-
duced.
And the explorer Of 1922, his
prairie schooner a touring car, his
bivouac hotel suite, if he chooses,

They lead from Everywhere to
Everywhere. Because of them
the most inexperienced wayfarer
cannot become lost.
The Heraldry of the Highways
One of the most famous of the
coast-to-coast highways is the yell
lowstone Trail, a good road from
Plymouth Rock to Puget Sound.
Its marker is yellow square,
with double circle in black in
closing the name, yellowstone
Trail" and an arrow pointing in
the direction of the Yellowstone.
These markers are on telephone
poles along the route. The route
of the Theodore Roosevelt Inter
national Highway, from Portland,
Me-, to Portland, Ore, is indicat-

the Snake, by the Snake to the
Oregon---or, as Captain Gray, the
Boston" named it, the Column
bia-and by the Columbia to the
Sea. 1t was this Trail that Mar
Gus Whitman rode from his mis-
sion at Walla Walla to Washing
ton, to tell the Great White Fa-
Their of the growing strength of
the Hudson's Bay men, and to adj
wise that the country be saved to
the United States. To counteract
the British power Whitman led
back the prairie schooners carry
ing 1,400 immigrants, pioneers, in
1874, and 5000 more followed the
next year; so when Clay, the clev-
er politician, enunciated his cleo
ton slogan, "54-40 or Fight"
there were 5000 men and women
in the Willamette Valley to make

good his claim. But Clay was not
a fighter, so the line Of settlement
beaten from the British Minister
Buchanan did not rim the ice at
$40, but followed the 49th paral-
lei. 1t was enough.
At the western end of the Ore
gon Trail two New England sail
ors spun coin to decide the name
of a city. "Heads" was Boston,
"tails" Portland, and tails won.
Tails named Portland, but heads
built it, the outlet of the Inland
Empire.
Bridging the Centuries
In 1851 A. A. Denny, from Hi
nois, beached his canoe on Alki
Point-"Alki," Chinook Indian for
"After a while" And latter a
while" Seattle was built on Alki
Point, objective of transconti-
mental railroads, key to Alaska
and the Orient. Today the slogan
of Seattle is not latter a while"
1t is "now."
Less than a century in years
has interviewed between Marcus
Whitman's ride and the present.
But judged in terms of ordinary
progress the Oregon Trail has
advanced twenty centuries. The
country through which Whitman
rode was more a wilderness than
the defiles of the Black Forest
when Caesar beat back the leu

who sometimes, in the rush for the
7:15, wonders what it is all about;
if sometimes during the day your
eyes look straight through filing
cabinets and plastered walls into
the wide spaces of desert and
mountain, lake and stream; if in
the evening the phonograph next
door sounds a trifle too continu-
ously, jarring, and you get to
thinking, and the pipe goes out
You need to hit the trail.
The Country God Remembers
The blood of explorers is in
your veins, or you wouldn't be
here, a citizen of these United
States. The blood is there, re-
bellious and restrained. For a
torpid liver a bottled tonic will
do. For explorers blood there is
but one treatment; the open road.
The trails have been blazed for
you.
They lead through the New
Northwest; the Northwest of
Lewis and Clark; the Northwest
that begins beyond the Dakotas,
and runs out in the irregular coast
Of the Pacific.
Where Trails Run Out and Stop
1t is the Never-Never Country,
the country of buttes and basins,
of piled mountains and sun-swept
plains, drained by the "un-
imagined rivers" Some people
have called it Gods Country, and
it is true that it is nearer to God
than most, for here the work of
creation recently left off, and the

the number of men added to en-
ployment lists in the rubber in
dustry and while there are not as
many men on the payroll as in
1919 and 1920 it is actually MAX
ing more tires than during most
OF that period. Increased eff
cheney and reduced waste accounts
for this seeming paradox. At the
same time the Akron city employ

for experienced help than it is

USE WHEEL CHAIRS 4
ON FLORIDA ROADS

Occupants of wheel chairs are
abandoning trains in Florida and
have joined the hosts of bicyclists,
pedestrians and motorists who UNI
dertake long journeys on the high
ways of the state. The asphalt
roads of the peninsular state are
in such excellent condition that oc-
cupants of wheel chairs are able
to make their way over the roads
with little or no fatigue. A man
in wheel chair recently covered
116 miles on the road between
Jacksonville and Daytonia without
trouble. Another made the trip
over the Dixie highway from Jack
sonville to Miami. The last named
journey embraced 269 miles.

GREAT "C0ME BACK" BY
AUT0M0TIVE INDUSTRY

A recent report of the United
States employment service gives
some indication of the amazing re-
Operative energy of the automo-
tive industry according to a letter
sent to all its branches by the
Firestone company.
New motor vehicles led by far
the manufacture, in it's ratio, of
any other means of transportation
during the spring, while the in
dustry far exceeded others in the
number of men and women added
to pay rolls.
In May, for example. automobile
plants had over $4,000 more men
at work than in 1921 and in De-
troit alone, according to the Fire
stone report, nearly 10000 more
men were at work in all its fac
tories than in the previous year.
Akron, of course, leads easily in
