w WHETHER or not trailer
"A travel becomes a thing Of
wv permanent popularity, all
indications point to the
possibility that it will result in fore
ing complete change in automobile
travel itself, says Frederick c. Russell.
This 1t will do, he says, not only
through changes in customs, but in a
vast revision OF automobile construc-
ton
The trailer is scheduled to improve
the automobile, as radio improved the
phonograph. 1t may even add new
zest to motoring, just as the talkies
have Erced marked improvement in
az lorms Of stage entertainment. All
this is forecast in some of the plans
now on the Detroit drawing boards.
The day is not far distant when mo-
torists will think it very strange not
to be able to have water available in
The car. Already cars are obtainable
with accommodations for sleeping.
Cooking will come next. The auto
mobile in its travel over the road is
capable Of generating enough cleo
trical current to operate a number OF
electrical conveniences. Educated to
demand comfort in trailer travel, the
motorist will soon expect it when he
is travelling in the car by itself
In fact, some of the automotive
prophets forecast wedding of the
trailer and the car. This would be a
vehicle designed for long-distance
travel, and for vacationing. For
around-the-city transportation mo-
torists would use inexpensive and light
second cars. There have been some
hints of this dual car for travelling in
special jobs made up for cinema stars,
foreign rulers and persons whose
business is related to the fast growing
travel industry.
Two automobile club officials drove
from coast to coast without stopping
for lodging. A radio celebrity has a
special car in which a complete cuis-
inc folds into the back of the front
seat. The work OF designing such
cars is rendering it simpler to take
the step toward revamping the auto
mobile to make it more truly the road

the next few years. In the opinion Of
those who are following trends closely,
Air conditioning will, of course, be q
part Of the picture No Summer trip
will be taken in discomfort, and there
will be additional provision for cooling
OF foodstuffs. All this is now available
for trailer use, and could easily be in
corporated in the automobile itself.
Even now many motor tourists are
carrying considerable extra equipment
in their cars. This is clea-,y inspired
by the sort OF things xung offered
trailer users. Interesting among the
new equipment is tear-gas gun. It
is said to be the answer to protec-
ton against the danger of a roadside
robbery or hold-up This gas gun
renders the victim incapable of act
ing for about half hour, during which
time the motorist can take the neces-
sary further steps for his protection.
The most important contribution to
the improvement in the automobile
itself will be in the line Of added elec-
trlcal equipment This will start with
the use OF much larger generators.
These may be in opera ton when the
car is in motion or when standing still.
Batteries will be larger. The dash
itself will become "convenience

sary to stop off for mere lunch.
Their cars will be equipped to make
possible fairly substantial meal. with
such cOnyeniences as electric warmers
for soup and coffee. The modern dash
with its radio, heater, fan. defroster.
glove compartment, first-aid kit and
numerous instruments is but a hint
OF what is coming.
Gas is also expected to play role
in providing convenient means OF
heating and cooking. This will prob
ably bring into the picture again the
once familiar pressure tank. These
will be Reliable at filling stations. 1t
is also expected that the exhaust svs-
tenn of the car will be harnessed for
various purposes. One Of the present
developments is the exhaust pressure
device which cooks meal while the

Chief Pilot Valeri Chkaloff, who spoke

United States" he said. If an Amer
lean flyer should come along the same
route to our country We will show that
friendship Is fact"
1t was q challenge, certainly, but
the Army and Navy do not feel that
the challenge was directed against
them. AS one Amy official pointed
out. explorative flights of this nature
in the United States are usually left
to the initiative Of private citizens.
The departments of the Government
are always ready to cooperate with
any such attempt. but they seldom
undertake it personally. That is not
to say" he continued. that at some
future time the Army may not send
it's flyers to Moscow across the polar
route. But at the present time it con-
templates no such move"
Naval officials were equally disin-
terested in an attempt to link the
two countries by air. Such an under
taking, they considered, would be a
purely commercial venture, which
would not directly concern the Navy.
