Here chains are a real nec essity after rains. Hut in .July, Aug ust and September, these roads dry quickly, after rain and are excellent for motoring. "Light woolens will be ncded for tho cool seaside climate of the Mari time provinces in thp east. Lighter clothing will suffice along the St. Lawrence river resorts although the nights are cool. In the Ottawa vai ley and in Ontario., the days are quite warm although outer wr tps for night wear will be useful. Warmer clothing will be needed by the motor ist in Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alherta even in July and August where the days are warm but the climate quite changeable. "In the Rocky mountain districts of Alberta, temperatures vary with the altitude and fairly warm clothing should be carried, although in the valley the summer temperature is most -attractive. On the 'Pacific coast tho temperature is uniform and seldom too hot or too cold. "In eross'ng the continent through Canada the motorist misses the (ireat American desert.
