BEST TIME FOR VISITING
OVERSEAS POINTS LISTED
Foreign Division Of A. A. A. Col
lects Information From
Leading Authorities.

Touring seasons In Europe vary just
as they do In the United States, and
the foreign division of the American
Automobile Association has collected in
formation from leading authorities re-
garding the best time to visit various
sections.
This information follows.
British Isles-April to October
France, Germany, Holland, and Belgium
have practically the same touring sea-
sons, with splendid weather along the
French Riviera during the Winter
months.
In Switzerland. Italy and austria
the passes are not open until well into
June. Outside Of the mountain regions
very good weather prevails from the
middle Of April well into November,
with Winter touring in Southern Italy
being very popular.
Czechoslovakia and Hungary are best
during the Summer months, and this Is
also true Of Rumania, Bulgaria, Poland,
and Jugoslavia. Along the Dalmatian
coast, one can tour earlier. but in the
interior the roads do not become good
until early Summer.
In Southern Spain the Spring comes
early. The winter In the North Is not
pleasant until the end of April, al
though on the Cantabrian coast one can
Norway, Sweden. Denmark and Fin
land are pleasant principally from May

BOOKLET DESCRIBES
SPARK PLUG TYPES
Wrong Kind Declared Waste Of
Economy and Detrimental to
Efficient Service.

All spark plugs look alike to many
motorists, but there are important DIFF
ferences in the types. Each of these
Is designed for q definite purpose, and
since none will function properly If
used In an engine for which 1t is not
adapted, selection Of the right type be-
comes matter Of. real consequence,
especially to the growing number OF
car owners who install new spark plugs
omy and efficiency In so doing.
In booklet Just issued by one Of the
spark plug companies @. G. Rohde, Its
chief engineer, explains that different
types Of plugs are made In different
styles, and shows the car owner which
type his car should have. In manufac-
turing spark plugs it Is necessary to
have different designs with different
lengths Of insulators projecting into the
firing chamber Of the plug. This con-
trolls the rate Of heat now from the gap
Of the plug to the cooling medium,
which Is either water or air. The rate
Of heat now depends upon the length
and shape Of insulator from the spark
gap to the inside gasket.
A long tnsulator projection makes .
hot plug to be used In engines which
develop comparatively little heat. These
are usually designated rs cold engines.
A short insulator projection, on the
other hand, makes q cold plug, intended
for use In hot high compression engines
where It Is necessary to dissipate the
extra heat 1t 3. rate Sufhcientlv rapid
to avoid overheating Of the insulator.

1OOM|LES Of CARS
BOUGHT WEEKLY
Road Usage Increases, but
Demand for Highways
Is Still Great.

Motor Car purchasers are adding to
the highway burden at the rate Of 100
miles of new automobiles weekly, ac-
cording to e. Z. Duffy, highway educa-
tional writer. At the end Of 1929 the
combined length Of trucks, busses and
passenger cars will be approximately
$1,000 miles.
In addition to the replacement Of
about 2,000, 900 worn out cars, auto
mobile manufacturers expect to place
new cars In the garages Of another
1000, 900 owners.
Records kept by State highway ON
Gals. park officials. health resorts and
countless tourist camps reveal that mo-
tor car usage Is increasing at an even
faster rate than registration figures.
This means that the highways are
carrying q tremendous volume of traffic
that as yet shows no sign Of lessening
It's growth.
100000 Sightseers.
Last year 100000 people spent
more than three and half billion dol
lars seeing the country" Touring Is
only q small part Of the highway story,
but it is indicative Of the pleasure use Of
the car. With BUSES Of one company
alone now carrying passengers over
routes totaling 100000 miles, and with
bus line investments at about the half
billion dollar mark, 1t IS evident that
commercial motor transportation Is
more than q mere rllmor.
As for the matter of highways over
which the Nations 100,000,O00 or SO
rubber tires are running, there are still
no more than $1,000 miles Of roads that
can be rated as first class.
More Must Be Spent.
More money must be spent for per-
manent highway improvements, high
way officials and authorities all over the
country are pointing out. Better use
can be found for funds now being spent
for maintenance and construction OF
roads that cannot cope successfully
with the tons Of shifting trafic that
hurtle over them.
In many instances those charged
with road planning have failed to
recognize that motor transportation Is
o permanent thing and that the high
way should also be as permanent as
possible, else this and succeeding gem
erations win continue to pour cash into
the sink hole Of maintenance and
periodical rebuilding.
An automobile mileage Of $1,000 does
not compare favorably with first-claSs
road mileage Of $4,000.
