Camp Sites and Hotels.

AT recent meeting of hotel own
ers and managers majority of those
present stood when asked to get on
'heir feet if they thought the busi-
ness of the hotels was being injured
by the growth of the public tourist
camp.
In view of the fact that there is
a motel building boom throughout the
country, in response to what has been
interpreted to be a demand for more
and better accommodation for the
tourist. it is generally agreed by
thoSe who have given the subject
careful consideration that the hotel
mans problem is also the motorists.
The hotel men claim to be en-
ueaForlng to view the matter from
n broad angle. reaGing the future
with great care and shaping their
plans in accordance. Many of them
feel that the tourist camp is merely
enabling the person in modest cir
'umstances to learn to travel via
auto. and that from this tourist ma
teriar will come the new hotel
patronage of the future. Its anoloev
one hotel man points out, is found in
the business done bye the manufac-
turers of better cars, due to the poDl
larity of the fiivver
To be successful, as the regulations
and charges imposed upon those who
stop at tourist camps show, a certain
amount of commercialism enters.
which it is believed tends to put the
tourist camp in a class with the chea y
hotels. The most progressive hotel
men now claim that it is simply a
question of educating these new tour
lists to the advantages of the best
accommodations.
Doubtless the seasoned tourist de-
sires either to camp by himself in
the real primitive way or have the
best accommodations en- route. and
he is naturally interested to see that
the building Of hotels continues.
There are many reasons why the eiab-
crate tourist camps o. the west
should attract the long distance tour
lSt who enjoys meeting his fellow
wanderers on an equal footing. but
1t is the opinion OF eastern automo-
bile club officials that the need for
these camps should pass when tour
ing in the west is less of an ad-
venture.

CARS FOR CHRISTMAS
GIFTS ON INCREASE
New idea in Giving Not Confined
to Wealthy, Local Deal
er States.

THE choice of motor cars for
Christmas gifts is greatly increasing"
says a statement of the Harper Motor
Company. local dealers in Durant and
Star cars. Nor is this motor car Civ
ing confined only to wealthy people.
The man of average income. who
can afford to own and operate an
Inexpensive motor car. may better
make his purchase at Christmas time
than at any other season.
1T is profitable for him to do so,
for he earns the distinction Of having
given a greater gift. He becomes a
n"Ighborhood parsonage He only ad-
vances few months the purchase
that others make in the spring, yet
the giving of motor car to his fam
lily for Christmas present is su-
Dreme proof of his ability to choose
the most practical gift.
There are other advantages in
buying ear for Christmas. The au-
tomobile merchandiser is always
crowded with orders later in the sea
son. but at Christmas time he can
give the buyer better choice of cars
and insure delivery of the car at an
appointed time.
The smoother and slower car is
used during the first Ave hundred to
a thousand miles of it's opera ton, the
better car 1t will be. All motorists
know that. yet most buyers want de-
livery during the spring or summer
seasons. when the going is smooth and
here's temptation to step on it,
when the car is bought at Christ
mas time il is used for shorter trips.
Consequently 1t will be worked into
service slowly and smoothly, with
benefit to the motor and all parts.
When spring does arrive, the Christ
mas purchase will be a fine, smooth
running machine, ready for a long
season of use.
Last Christmas many buyers
thought of these things and decided
to advance their orders for cars to
holiday dates. They have since be-
come enthusiastic about their deci-
sions and say that never have they
made more satisfactory purchases.
Enthusiasm Is contagious. and
many to whom the idea has not be
fore occurred seriously, will consider
Christmas automobile purchases this
season. The new seasons models be .
ing available for Christmas delivery
make a purchase at this time espe-
cially interesting.
"Since the advent of the motor car.
Santa Claus pack has been filled with
miniature motor cars for little folks
and now the idea has spread to their
elders. Bonner and Bitten Chris
Krlngles famous reindeer, will be
paced by motor cars this year"

Undercurrent in Oil.

The prediction that an overzealous
desire to lower the price of gas at
time when overprodHct on was
normally under way would help de-
Velop the very monopoly which the
motorist has reason to fear is given
some weight by the latest figures from
the bureau of mines. which show that
forty-one refineries have faded from
the picture between January and
September /. The $50 refineries in
operat ton on the latter date were pro-
ducing less than 100000 barrels a
day more than the 301 plants on
Grating in January. 1t is freely pre-
dicted that fewer plants. a slight. If
any. increase IN refining and high
production Of cars means the posi-
bility of return to the high prices

Did You Know

That 1t is not necessary, to raise
the hood and tap the horn should the
armature of the horn motor refuse
to rotate? Simply throw out the
clutch and race the engine a moment
The excessive vibration of the engine
block as the engine passes through
its critical speed will serve to shake
the horn motor into a new position.
This. of course. should only be tried
when the hesitation of the horn is
due to too heavy an adjustment with
a weak battery. If the trouble is a
short circuit the vibration stunt will
not help.
That the plan of cranking the en-
gine by hand with ignition off before
using the Self-Starter can be over
worked so as to waste more current
than il saves? In cold or very cool
weather the battery can be saved on
the first start of the day by lmber-
ing up the engine by hand, but If it
is cranked over too many times the
cylinders become flooded with gas

motorist can quickly eliminate the
impossibilities and thus save himself
lot of time and expense.
He should be familiar with the
spark knock. piston slap and a
piston pin rap. When he is familiai
with these he will not be likely tc
go on wild goose chase for what
he imagines is Il bearing knock. And
likewise, he will not go around with
loose bearing thinkin' that it is
just case of too much carbon in
the cylinders
Each one of these sounds offered
by car has reason. and by get
tin into the habit of tyin' up such
reasons with their sounds. trouble
shootin becomes second nature. Just
the other day I found some of my
men here tearin' down motor in
search of strange knock. When
they didn't find it l studied the en-
gine awhile and found that the
knockin' occurred regularly at jus,
one-half engine speed This was a
clear indication OF camshaft trouble
as a camshaft runs at one-half the
speed of the crankshaft.
IF YOU get the sounds tied up with
their sources it's short step to To-
catin' the causes of troubles. 4 mo-
torist can save a lot of money with
his ears if they are as sharp as his
wits"

Old High-Horse Balks.

New Jersey has something to think
about in the news that two of its
state troopers are under Indictment
for being a bit rough about trying
to have two traffic cops arrested. The
news will interest thousands of mo-
torists who have felt like trying the
state troopers idea. but who lacked
the necessary sense of authority. The
merits of the case are. of course. not
to he judged by those who do not
know the facts. but guardians OF the
crossways and constables are not al
ways right in their decisions and 1t
doesn't do any harm for some one
with equal or greater authority occa-
sionally to remind them. \ motorist
who had occasion to drive through "A
city in an ambulance recently claimed
that an officer kept the sufferer wait

Difficult, But Possible.

Every driver ought to practice
shifting from high to second at from
twenty to twenty-five miles per hour,
doing this where the road is level
and quiet. The surest way to bring
car under control when the brakes
fail to hold as one would like them
to is to shift into second and then
switch off the ignition. The car will
then come down to a speed where,
assuming the brakes fail absolutely,
the results of collision would not
be so serious. But few drivers would
ever be able to safeguard themselves
in this way for the reason that they
consider the shifting gears at such
speed quite impossible. 1t is really
quite an accomplishment to shift
quietly from high to second at nor
NAL speed and it is only a question
of practice. Speed up the engine
when the gear shift is passing
through neutral and just before push
ing out the clutch pedal; second will
then be reached if the shift is made
quickly and with determination.

1t is estimated that there are over
$4,000 buses in operation In the
United States, and the success Of the
Fifth Avenue Coach Company is al
ready recognized.
The Nashville. Chattanooga & ST.
Louis railway has admitted that pas
sengef travel on one of its lines has
dropped from 1908 In 1921 to 4,0O9
in the same period of 1928.
The experience of other railroads
clearly indicated that the further de-
Nelopment of the steam train is in
the Improvement of its through, ex-
press service between distant points
allowing the bus to develop the short
haul field and establish itself as a
feeder. This trend already is being
recognized by both railroads and
motor car manufacturers in connec-
tion with freight.
And the time is not far distant
when the motorist will simply run
his motor car into the baggage car
of the transcontinental express, lit
orally carrying his taxi with him
No one who clearly understands this
trend of the railways to perfection
in long distance travel can become
pessimistic over the way the motor
buses seem to be cutting into the
business of the steam roads

TROUBLE IN SHIFTING.
Difficulties Experienced in Manip
ulating Car on Hill.

The emergency brake is handler to
use than the service brake as a means
of keeping the car from coasting
backward when starting on a hill.
The feet are then free to let in the
clutch and feed gas with the acceler-
ator. If A motoTist uses the hand
throttle and does the breaking with
his right foot he invariably races the
engine and has trouble shifting from
low" TO second"
When stopping in traffic to dis
charge passengers 1t is well to re-
member to insist upon having them
dismount on the right hand side OF
the car Many person has been
seriously injured by being winged
by passing vehicles when alighting
on the left hand side of a car While
the driver is not responsible for his
passengers under such conditions
their safety is a matter of great in
terest TO him. Make them use the
right door.

That flooding the carburetor is a
