GARDNER TRUE

PARIS, Aug 4.-Man proverbially is

his employer. Father" Esnard, who
looks after the garden around former
Premier Clemenceau's little cottage at
st, Vincent du Jard, in the Vendee, on
the coast of South Brittany, is among
the hero worshippers.
Why, surely said the gardner when
asked if he expected NJ. CNemeanceau to

A Well Balanced Load Assures a We'll
Balanced Trip

The problem of carrying the equip
ment is one that every camper must
work out for himself, as there can be.
no set rules than can be applied to all
motor camping trips.s If two campers
have the entire touring car to them
selves, the problem is very simple

as we'll to the motor camper with the
roadster or coupe-store it all in the
rear compartment. ss%s
B1t all of US do not drive roadsters,
neither are we all lucky enough to
have an entire tonneau of the touring
car for baggage and camping. goods, 50
other places must be found OF carry the
equipment.
The transportation problem should
be taken into consideration when the
equipment is being, purchased or as
sembled 1t must be compact enough
to fit in a small place and light enough
to keep from overlooking the, car
That is why the household articles and
furnishings cannot be used to advan-
tage on the camping trip, but does not
mean that convenience must be sacri-
ficed for the same comfort giving
equipment may be had in portable
form, for the camp. Porcelain dishes
used in the house would not fit in with
the camping scheme, neither would
bulky pots and pans answer the camp
ing need. The average bedding roll
would be much too large to allow ease
in handling, so the motorist must pro-
vide compact equipment, built especial
lily for camping.
The logical place to carry the bulk
of the equipment is on the running
boards and rear trunk rack These
three places provide enough space so
that little is left to be crowded into
the tonneau.
When most of the apparatus is car
ried on the running boards, it will nee
essarily mean that the doors of the car
will be blocked. On this side the tent;
bed and mattress may be carried by
means of the carry-all luggage carrier.
On the same running board the
emergency service kit may be fasten-
ed. This consists of a kit containing
three canteens. one for gas, one for
oil and one for water.
A combined bumper and trunk rack
will accommodate a good share of the
outfit A large box or trunk, bolted
to this contrivance, will hold the |
blankets, pillows, clothing and all like |
articles that must be kept out of the |
dust and dirt.
The other running board will bear |
the heavier equipment and still leave |
room for the doors to open above it. |

of the bobbed hair controversy Girl
walters are employed in the restaurant
and Madame Huret issued an order for
bidding them to have their hair bobbed.
She gave many reasons for this ukase,
but evidently her chief reason was the
number of deputies who had declared
themselves against shortened hair for
Mattresses.
Before the prohibition had definitely
laid the question to rest, pro-bobBed
hair movement set in. In time, it
seemed 70 have as many adherents as
