PERFORM GREAT SERVICE

1.-The time is not far distant when
every city in the country will have a
municipal motor camp" declared g
prominent automobile man recently.
1.-THE fact that 500 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"
THE 300 cities having municipal
motor camp sites are performing a
service for trans-continental motorists
and for those taking shorter automo-
bile trips, that was hardly thought OF
ten years ago.
Hundreds Of additional camp sites
are supplied on national and State for
est reserves and on privately-owned
grounds.
Official figures show that 5000
campers used these municipal sites
in 1921, whereas hundreds Of thou
sands more camped in the State and
national reservations.
Just IN proportion as these camp
sites increase, Just in that proportion
Will cross country touring and in gen
eral long automobile touring in
crease. 1t is not only profitable for
the communities to foster these camp
ing sites. but It is profitable for the
country as a whole TO have our citi-
zens see our own country.
Another great advantage Of the
automobile tour Is the fact that per
sons 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 visit
ing the large centers only, when
travelling by other means OF trans
portation. And the health feature Of
being outdoors 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 1000. 900
passengers were carried in morton cars
in 1921 as compared 20 a little better
than 100000 carried on steam rail.
