ULARI'TY
"Triptieks" or Series Of
Logged Routes Are in
Great Demand

CHARLOTTE, July 23.-Fol-
lowing a tremendous increase IN
the number of requests for travel
information and routings to caro-,
lima Motor club headquarters ami
branch office travel bureaus 1T has
been necessary to place an add
tional order for "triptiks" the
newest and most convenient form
cf road and travel information,
according to Coleman w. Roberts,
president.
A "Triptik". is a series of route
logs, showing complete travel IN
formation, including route num-
bers, miniature maps of cities,
mileage, and other useful data,
stitched together in an attractive
cover. Thus it is not necessary
to be folding and unfolding bulky
maps to follow specified routes:
The Carolina Motor club, which
is the largest AAA affiliation in
the South, immediately adopted
this form Of information as soon
as it was made available this sum
mer and the response of mem
bers has been so Overwhelmingly
in favor of this type information
that the large supply has been
steadily dwindling and it has been
necessary to place additional or
ders..
Earlier in the travel season Mr..
Roberts estimated that 1884 trav-
ell would exceed 1888 motoring by
at least 25 per cent. Analysis Of
reports to club travel bureaus
and also from national headquar-
ters of the American Automobile
association now points toward an
increase of at least SO per cent
over last year.
Travellers this year are taking
longer and more extensive trips,
the motor club executive said. "lt
is noticeable, particularly in rout-
ings to the Century of Progress"
he said, chat whereas last year
a big majority requested the most
direct routings to and from Chi
cago we are this year filing many
requests for the most scenic
routes, regardless of distance and
the motorists are seeking different
return routes.
"Another interesting fact is the
big increase we have noted in the
number of requests for routes t.
North and South Carolina points.
The number of entire families
that are spending the entire sum-
mer this season at Carolina noun
tain or beach resorts is much larg-
er than for the past several years.
owe attribute this to two main
factors. One is that economic
conditions generally are greatly
improved over the past few years.
The other is that our citizens now
have more leisure time and we,
are, gradually learning that more
thought must be given to relaxa-
ton and spending this additional
time.
Carolina resort operators re-
port improved business without
exception. There is also much
greater interest in summer sports.
In the mountains, golf, hiking,
riding, skeet shooting, swimming.
fishing, boat racing, archery and
other forms of competition are
attracting many more devotees

your back, when you refuse to

Il amt got time"
Yes you have. Time is thinr
there is. the most Of. Take time.
There is plenty more time where
that time came from. The man
who hasn't got time for the well
fare of his community or his. ma
ton, need not expect his COM
manity or his nation to have time
for his welfare.
