" " Like your 'business, or dally work, vour tour should be planned and executed in a systematic way, which' means a definite schedule to travel on. This is very-import and, in order to receive your mail on time and still more important in connection -with getting bote accommodations, which should be wired for ' in, advance, unless you are camping-out. ; f To Illustrate the importance of wiring ahead for accommodations on mv tour from Detroit to ixs Angeles, San Francisco and return last summer. 6100 miles In 17 & days, I over ran-my daily schedule ateveral points. In nearly every case I r foufid neat difficulty In getting accommodations at all, and in two cases experienced some very hot nights in a small inside room with practically no ventilation. At IlolbrooX. Ariz., " another tourist with his family arrived about 10 p. m. after chasing about the town for an hour trying to find accom modations, he finally gave up In dnneunt and -started . Out over a long detour to Winslow about 35 miles, away to try his luck. Now this is enough to provoke any tourist. You. can avoid such ex periences by traveling on schedule and wiring for reservations. Don t take any chances. The most complete ' details, showing routes, hotels, points of Interest and history will be found in volume 'T!' Blue Book. This covers practically all transcontin ental trails with some valuable in formation pertaining to equip ment, nature bt road, etc- From its list of hotels you wiu gam a greater knowledge of yoifr travels witUout loss of time, and while nearly all trails are 'well marked, it is practically impossible to get corect information from natives enroute.

L QVICKiBROTHERS High St. Trade ' Production of the first-; solid tire to be turned out by" the Columbia-Tire corporation at its plant at Kenton was the occasion for a big time last week in which factory officials and workmen par ticipated. Early In the week the first solid came from the vuiean izer, a 36-5 sice. and. later in the week the first cushion solid, also a 36-5 was turned out. The cushion solid Is declared td be something , brand new. in the line of cushion tires, and is the result of several months experi mental work on the part of the Columbia Tire corporation de signers and engineers. Tie Port land organization has obtained a patent for the tire and expects to start quantity production on it in a short time. Within a f ewe days details of the design and. construc tion of this tire will be given out. it is stated, but for the present this Is kept "within the family." The production of solids last week was -in the nature of pre- Umlnary work, but so successful Was the- work' that production 6n solids "will start In a short time and will be onshed raDidrr. ac cording to . Mr. Wndzbnrg, presi dent of the company. The "solid tire business is looked npori as particularly favorable field here, In view' of the demand for this class of tire for heavy truck haul ing, partlenlarly iri the construct ion and lumbering industries. A solid tire of the same high, anal-' Itt as the CTC bfleumatlc -eoYdl which is making a name for the corporation - throughout this sec tion is promised by Mr. Wurz- burg. ' . A special tube for 30x3 1-2 clincher tires was recently per fected by the corporation and Is attracting unusual attention in the local tire world. v The tube is reinforced along the Inside in such a way as to prevent rim pinching, it is claimed. It is also slightly oversize, being 30x3 1-4, although designed - for the 30x3 1-2 clin cher. ' The production of thhr new tube and the big demand for other tubes of standard sizes has caus ed explanation of the tube depart ment according to Mr. Wurzburg, and last week the company put on a night shift in this department; running from 12 at night to 8 a. m. With this extra shift the out put of the tube department has been Increased to 180 tubes a day. This is expected to care for the demand for the time being, , al though if the demand continues to increase this department will be necessjtry, the CTC executive said.

O. fcldridge. Executive Chairman of the A. A A. "While such a child may be letter perfect in the mechanical operation of a motor vehicle,- it atands to reason that his judgment has not matured sufficiently, to enable him to think correctly and cooly under adverse circumstances, j. It requires four years of hard work for a man. to get a lieense to run a locomotive which oper ates on a steel track and cannot turn to one side or the other and the engineer must be at least 21 years of age before he starts to learn. Certainly a child should be required to reach the age of 16 or more before he is permitted to operate a motor vehicle which has no restrictions save those of the' steering I wheel in the hands of the driver, - Cchildren operating motor vehicles on the public, high ways are a menace not only td' the; pedestrians bnt to other motor ists and we are asking our affiliat ed - clubs ; to aid In a rampaign to stop this practice In every, state in the Union." i ; CASH SHOCKS in i Gold Coin in" Abundance Nearly Starts Rush for : - ' New jt3old Boom! v PROHlBiTlOX JtN SKIUJlA MEfUC BELGRADE, July 21. -- The movement tor prohibition is strong among the students of Serbia, especially in the higher schools, and a number of demonstrations la favor of abstention from alco holic liquors are planned for this summer. ; It is estimated that 80 per cent of Serbian students are total abstainers. .

The Idea that gold coin Is get ting to be an article that ls found only in the secret recesses of a raiser's den, has been blasted. If a report from the Used Car Corner can be taken as a criterion, for Mr. Anderson reports .that geld coin is as plentiful around the phop as the proverbial "fleas on a j dog s back." -i Last week a stranger walked into . the ; local concern's. ; sales room according to the report and asked to be shewn a good used Ford. That's- right in' Anderson line, of business so the stranger was escorted to .the said Ford. Apparently he was rery much pleased, and remarked that he understood the terms "arei fcash." The salesman replied that, - that was the rule so the prospective customer, got out of the' prospec tive class immediately by reaching down in his pocket and pulling out $400 in honest-to-goodness Amer ican gold eagles, laid them ont on the desk and proceeded to drive a periecny gooa r ora out or me shop.' j The writer has no record of the time it took the salesman to re cover from the shock of seeing so mneh gold all In one bunch, but It might be safe to say that had a RENEW YOUR. .'.,'...M()TQR- By having it rebored and overhauled, by our expert mechanics.
