However, motor camping was too
good sport to be confined to any
one section and the east and middle
west are rapidly falling in line. On
recent trip through New England
l noticed many signs Camp sites
for motor parties" Anyone who
desires to camp with his car need
have no fear now Of not finding
accommodations.
Equipment 1mpOrtants
That being so. the next considera.
ton is equipment, the first con-
sideration being place to sleep.
This may be variously handled. You
may have a car from which the
seats are removed to make place
for a mattress at night or you
may have tent. In the latter
case you have your choice between
a tent standing by itself or one that
uses the car as one of its sides.
With this latter type the car may
be used as a dressing room, from
which the campers step down into
the beds set up in the tent proper.
In the matter of beds there Is a
considerable choice. You may like
the inflated mattresses, which are
blown up with the tire pump and
are more comfortable than your
bed at home. On the other hand
you may choose the folding cots
that are extremely practical as well
as comfortable and pack into very
small compass for carrying.
The next thing to consider Is
cooking and here the manufacturers
have shown great ingenuity. A
complete cooking kit may be had
in aluminium, with adjustable
handles so that the pots and pans
may be nested and carried in small
compass. The stove may be a
gasoline or kerosene burner, which
has advantages over a wood burner
when you have to make camp In
the rain. BY all means get stove
that has a windshield in back 10
keep the wind away from the flame
when you are cooking.
Folding Table Necessary.
A folding table and chairs, make
al fresco dining a pleasure and these
may be had to pack in a very
small space. Table equipment,
plates, cups, saucers, knives and
forks, not forgetting spoons come
compactly put up. 1t Is possible
also to get a small ice box or a zinc
lined basket for carrying ice to keep
the butter hard and the meat sweet.
Add to these a collapsible pail. a
kerosene lantern in addition to flash.
light. a shovel with a jointed shank
for easy packing and you are ready
for the chances Of the road.
Now for cost This may be as
much as you please and pretty
nearly as little. You may buy
equipment that will yield a camp
about as luxurious as that OF an
eastern potentate. with the cost
mounting up to that of a first-class
car. On the other hand there are

"Coasting," in many states, is
against the law because it is con-
ducive to traffic accidents due to
the fact that a loaded truck may
burn out its brakes or attain such
a speed as to get beyond control

In addition, re-engaging the
