Inadequate preparation keeps
many tourist from enjoying his
"trip.
So does overpreparation.
The art of touring lies in a sys-
tematic selection and arrangement
of necessities for the road and camp
so that, by the end of the journey,
everything has been found useful
and nothing has been missed.
For those who intend camping
along the road, this advice trans
cends all other helps for enjoyment.
Too many tourists are seen with
overloaded, overbalanced cars, signi-
Tying work for the tourist rather
Rn pleasure.
Proper preparation may be as
sured If the essentials of motor tour
Ing and camping are considered.
Causes for Motoring?
Why do we go on long trips?
First, for a change from city life,
city atmosphere and city conditions.
Second, for rest and recreation.
Third, to see the country.
Change from city life requires
change from our set ways of eating
and sleeping. Instead of the pre-
pared steaks and roasts and many

simple life with as few courses of
as simple food as we can stand.
We find on touring a short length
that we just naturally turn to the
coarser dishes to appease our re-
freshed appetites. Boiled potatoes,
plainly cooked beans, stewed dried
fruits, and other such simple dishes
are like juicy tenderloin to our hun
gered stomachs.
Few Things Needed
And sleep on a canvas cot, rolled
In blankets and lying beneath the
stars is more restful after a days
travelling than the rest any bed at
home COULD offer.
But proper preparation must be
de for these essentials to enjoy
fnem. As few dishes should be
taken as possible. A soldiers kit is
handy.

route through North Dakota, Mon
tana, on to Portland and south to
San Francisco.
Then IL the passengers want more
of ride they can continue on the
same way back.
The permanent establishment of
such transportation Is conjectural.
Automobile experts are divided
among themselves on the posslbili-
ties of such development.
Some believe that motor trans
portation should be made supple
mentary to railroad transportation,
linking up those towns which are
off the main lines. Others believe
that the motor bus or truck may
supercede the rail lines.
Whatever the result. this trip
marks new era in transportation
Ii only as an experiment.

Camp Municipal Grounds Outside Washington D. G.

A small oil stove with canned
heat may be taken, but 1t isn't
necessary because camp fire is just
as effective and more romantic.
Pots and pans may be bought that
fit into one another, so as to take
up little room in the tonneau. The
food should consist Of dried fruits,
chocolate and other such emergency
rations. What may be wanted for
the days big meal can easily be
bought on the way.
Rest Essential
The second essential in tourinng
and camping, rest, cannot be en-
joyed unless careful preparation is
made. 1t means systematic packing
of things in the car, SO that every
thing is in its proper place and can
be located with ease when wanted.
1t means deliberate, careful driv-
ing without spurts of speed. so that
the drive does not enter camp feel
ing tired and grouchy. 1t needs
complete, but not too much, prepa-
ration for road emergencies and re-
pairs.
And 1t requires a good waterproof
tent and bed or cot for each per-
son in the party.
Way to Pleasure
If there are only two, or even
three, in the party, there are beds
that can be stretched over the backs
of the car seats, for sleeping within
the car. But whatever way is de-
cided upon, ease and simplicity in
preparing for the trip and system in
pitching camp mean most for
restful, healthful sleep.
If these essentials are carefully
prepared for, the third may be fully
enjoyed, Many a tourist may be
seen rushing along country roads by
day and preparing the next days
trip at night, so that 1t Is impossible
to enjoy the beauties of the country.
He who doesn't pack his equip
ment properly and pitches camp
without system or forethought, finds
he has to devote nearly all his
leisure" time to his operation.
The result is loss of the enjoyment
he went out to seek.

Until the far off day when science
finds some way of eliminating fric-
tion to take the place of the present
system of reducing it through lubri-
cation and almost unbelievably fine
machining operations servic work
on automobiles will continue to be
necessary. Engineers of the techni-
cal service department of the Pack

who design Packard cars, are work
ing constantly to reach the absolute
minimum of time necessary for this
service work.

Stokowski Signs Ten
Years More For
Quaker City

Leopold Stokowski, although
his contract with the Philadel-
phia Orchestra still has three
years to run, last week signed
a new seven-year contract to
follow the present one.
In other words, Mr.. StokoWski
is definitely obligated to con-
duct in Philadelphia for another
ten years.
No doubt, had he wanted it,
Mr. Stokowski might have had
the next regular New York post
that may chance to be open, but
he is wisely content to bring his
own orchestra to New York and
on tour, where it is acclaimed
as the superior of any of the
New York orchestras.
Now that the Stokowski ghost
is definitely laid so far as New
York is concerned, hope will
spring anew in the breasts of
certain ambitious leaders who
have long cast longing glances
in that direction.
