: i Lose Women Sweepers
? (By Mall)
. PARIS, March 10. The old wo
men who shfveringly . sweep the
narrow streets of Paris hare lost
their fight against modern mach
inery. The city has decided their
usefulness Is ended. , Henceforth
only one racancy in three will he
filled, and before long these Jobs
will, be abolished as their holders
die or leave.
These women, once were among
the picturesque sights of Paris,
swinging t h e I,r long-handled
brushwood brooms, beginning at
dawn. But now with few remain
ins there is more of pity than of
romance in the sight. It won't be
long until some good old woman
will be photographed leaning on
her witchlike broom and written
about for the newspapers as the
last of the sweepers.'

TAKE TO
CHEWIXG GDI
(By Mail)
BERLIN, March 12. "Kau
gummi," which in English means
chewing gum, has appeared in
Berlin. It is manufactured in
Germany, wrapped in oil paper and
sold in packages a little smaller
than the American brands. Sales
men recommend "kau gummi" as
esecially good for "athletes and
stenographers."

Care-Free, Economical
Service The Year Round
If you could make a tour of the factories where the
' good Maxwell is made we could show you scores of ways
in which goodness is built into the car.
The thousands of contented men and women who are
driving good Maxwells need no such factory demon
strations. They know the goodness is there because
they are enjoying care-free, economical service day in
and day out the year round.

By H. C. TSCHANZ
Along the transcontinental high
ways, the millions are going to
come: coming west. Along the
smooth pavement they travel, giv
ing" full vent to the early nomadic
instincts of the race, as they go
north or south, hunting like the
honey-bee for the nectar life holds
for them. Touring has become
the great fad of the age, while the
onrushing hordes are becoming
greater and greater each season as
year alter year they come and go.
Last year millions folded their
tents, . picked up their beds and
traveled westward "seeing America
first." By twos, fours, loads as
families, then in groups liks gypsy
caravans they came lingering
here a day and there a night, look
ing 'everywhere. With vehicles
ranting from the luxurious tour
ing houses to the cheap wornout
rattle-trap" old flivver, they took
to the road and seemed to enjoy
it. Ask them and they will tell
you that they will come again
next year and bring their friends
many of them. Ever looking to
ward the sunset, they can never,
during all their days, forget the
west: bubbling mountain stream
teeming with fish against a green
forest background, flowers, fruit,
cool nights with no fear of rains
and pavement from Seattle to
San Diego, almost 2000 miles of
Why travel via auto rather than
Pullman? Not only because it has
become a fad and "everybody is
doing it" but also because the av
erage family has must have a
car today. And so tiring of their
old environment for a time, want
ing and needing a vacation and a
change, they can "hop in" and are
on their way. The price of one
person traveling Pullman, would
be almost as much as the gas bill
for the entire trip and the car
can carry five or more. Instead of
expensive hotels, they can camp
out for much.le8s and get an out
ing in the bargain, especially plea
sant here where there are no sum
mer rains to mar the fun of camp
ing. Having the car with them
and being certain of the weather,
all kinds of side trips Into the
mountains and to the ocean, are
possible with but little expense.
They buy oranges," fruits," supplies,
going home again with a vision
of the vastness of the west; with
better health because rested up by
the change all very desirable,
socially, economically.
What kind of people are these?
Mostly of the well-meaning, desir
able middle class who want to see
the country and, many, out look
ing for a location, sooner or later.
Being at the business of taking a
vacation, they also have a keen eye
on the resources of the country
through which they travel. If they
are unable to locate themselves,
they will tell others with capital
to Invest. Many will become build
ers of the west and while merely
touring through, get visions of the
future possibilities such as no
far-signted Lewis or Clark ever
dared dream.
What shall we do with them
when they come? Let them come
and go? Tes, but in so doing let
them know our resources and SEE
our country, just what we have
and what else we need. We can
attract them to our city by giving
them just a little better camping
facilities than they can find In any
other place. Our cities along the
highway are all in 'competition
with each other in attracting and
entertaining the tourist whether
we believe it or not. The average
traveler will tell the people whom
he meets as well as his home-town
friends about the camping facili
ties of' this city, that, and the
other. He exerts a powerful influ
ence with his advice to stay here
for the night but not to go "there"
because there are no accommoda
tions. Untimately, the greatest
number will go to spend a night

or several, at the place that treats
them best. We should give these
visitors, passing through, a nice
clean, well-kept place to camp,
housing cottages, even chance to
drop a dime or quarter for gas for
cooking. None wonld object to a
fee of 50 cents or even a little
more for a night's use of the pro
Tided facilities. And if wo tail to
supply this some other wide-awake
town will and, so I understand, is
doing it. Then these bring others
if . they are Impressed with what
we offer so that even though they
cannot remain permanently them
selves, others may locate. Oregon's
crying need is for people and capi
tal. ,-..
Is Salem a good place to camp?
Decidedly so because it Is located
in the very heart of the far-famed
Willamette valley, with Portland,
the metropolis of the state at tme
end and Eugene at the other. It
has a surrounding of beautiful
agricultural country; it is the
CAPITAL of the state the seat
of its governmental machinery
and naturally the eyes of the peo
ple are often turned on the capital;
it has most of the many state in
stitutions, which are not only
worh seeing by the tourist but
will be seen at bis request. The
capital of the state should be the
leader among the cities of the
state. It seems that there are cit
ies trying to do more with auto
parks than we are doing. If we
are too conservative don't care
enough, lack civic pride, then oth
er towns will get the people, the
capital and the business that right
fully shoutyl be ours. The best
auto park in the state is one of the
best advertisements for a city. Sa
lem, yes "city of peace" its name
Implies, but let us not be the white
crosses among the blowing red
poppy fields. Let Salem, the sec
ond city in Oregon, the capital of
the state, have the best park for
tourists we can if we care and
will.
THE SATURATION POINT
PRINTERS INK)
Every year or two the "calamity
howlers" become bearish on the
automobile Industry with the cry
that automobile ownership is very
close to the saturation point. If
they would study the growth of
the cities with their constantly in
creasing number of street car rid
ers, they would realize that many
millions of people ; must be. still
looking forward eagerly to the pur
chase of their first automobile
Between 1900 and 1920, the 285
leading cities of the United States
Increased 16,000,000 or 75 in
population and during the last 15
years the street car riders In these .
cities increased 58 despite the
fact that within, that time, the au
tomobile business advanced from
nothing to its present position.
Doctor to Airplanes Becomes
New Profession in Europe
(By Mill)
LONDON, Mar. 12. The vogue
of flying in virtually all countries
has been the means of creating a
demand for an airplane "physician
and surgeon."
This profession has been taken
up by Frank Courtney, who won
the King's Cup airplane race here
last year. He has been on the
continent testing out new ma
chines, and has now left for the
Arctic circle where he will put
new machines through their paces.
Several other pilots are acting as
consulting "surgeons" to airplane
makers. When a firm finds any
particular plane is not behaving
quite as it should, the "doctor' is
called in to spot the trouble and
jrot it right.
