Authorities Lenient. VACATION MOTORING. - - . - By nll'means go touring tki cummer it the most satisfactory kind of a Vacation but plan well before you go. While it is impossible, of Course, to lay down definite.rules for all tourists, it has been learned through the experience of hundreds of others that any motor trip, whether long or short, can be made more enjoyable if eertain simple com mon sense fundamentals are observed. Hence the few suggestions that follow! Perhaps the commonest of ,all mistakes is- to undertake to cover too muck territory within a definite length of time. This. is fatal to real touring enjoy ment, for the simple reason that the very thing one, takes a vacation foj The ideal plan is to allow enough time or relaxation is made impossible. make the itinerary sufficiently elastic so you cam lpaf along, enjoying whatever : ? possibilities may present themselves. If one intends to camp along the route, rnther than depend upon betels, it is wise to reduce the outfit to essentials. But dont carry this idea te ha extreme. It is just ns great a mistake to try to do without ordinary eomforts as to clutter up the ear with unnecessary luggage. Just what should be packed must, of course, be individually determined in each case. But a mighty good plan is to ret one s outfit together come little time in ndynnee of the tour and try it out for a night or two in close proximity to home. This will reveal what ever may be lacking and such items a; may not ba altogether necessary. - -- Appearance Secondary. Whatever sort of trip is planned, do not attempt to travel dressed up. Half the enjoyment of touring is to feel thoroughly comfortable without regard for anything out the pleasure ef the moment. Think less of your appearance while on the road and you will enjoy yourtour more. It is unwise when touring to depart too" radically from one s regular habit. Plenty of sleep, meals at regular hours and ordinary precautions in the matter Unfortunately the laws governing the operation of motor cars sre not uni form in nil status, consequently the motonaLwho thougfatlossly fails to familiarise himself with the regulations in states which ho expects to visit occasionally runs into unexpected annoynncea While the authorities the country over are usually inclined to make allowance for those who come from outsude their own itntes, It requires very little effort to learn in advance what restrictions are placed on speed, lights and so forth. There is just one other general rule for tourists, and that is the golden rule. Unfailing consideration of the rights of others and willingness to play the Good Samaritan to some fellow traveler who needs your help mav nof bring immediate rewards, but thev will add te your enjoyment of the tnp. And, at that, you never ean tell (he fellow you do a good turn today may happen along tomorrow in time to do you a greater service. How remains only the question of where to go. And to that question there are a thousand and one perfectly good answers. You have only to make your choice. The Oldsmobile Pacemaker. e THE IMPORTANCE OF BRAKES. The high-spee- high-powe- a mixed r blessing, Out in the open Country, engines employed in the modern automobile are on good roads. Vith few crossroads and little traffic, the development of speed and ability is a joy. When through towns, and particularly in largo city traffic, a quick getaway passing i a distinct advantage. Much ns we need this power and speed, even greater is the need for properly controlling it, and few of us consider that the only thing which does control the terrifie momentum of a htavy, full loaded machine, traveling at twenty or thirty or more miles an hour, is a comparatively delicate series of g levered brake rods, pulling two narrow bands down into contact with the brake drums attacked to, and forming a part of, and revolving with, the rear wheels. Last year more than ninety-twhundred lives were lout as the result of automobile accidents. For the first time in the history of accident insurance companies the chief cause of all classified accidents was shown in 1921 to be the automobile.
