TIPS FOR THE TRIP

Next to having a ear well-tuned and in perfect mechanical condition, there is no greater contribution to the pleasure, safety and comfort of a summer vacation tour than to have the car fitted with equipment that guarantees the tourist against minor difficulties and discomforts that may be met with an a long distance trip. Most of the accessories in this class are fequally useful in ordinary city driving, and become particularly important and valuable when the tourist is in a strange region, 'traveling over unknown roads, and driving maybe for hours at a time. Then bis pleasure depends on his being free to observe the country and the scenery, to avoid enforced halts, and to be at his ease physic-

ally and mentally.

Probably the most universally valuable accessory, for ciity use or for touring in all seasons of the year, is the spotlight. However, very few motorists Avhose cars carry spotlights use them to their full advantage; they seem to reserve them for the sole purpose of searching out house numbers, or for reading crossa-oad signs. Actually, a spotlight properly used is a safety device, especially when traveling in strange country. It should be set to direct its beam on the light hand edge of the road, well ahead, ready to be snapped .on whenever it is necessary to dim the main headlights. Some motorists make this automatic, by Aviring their spotlight circuit to the dim terminal of the regular lighting SAvitch. Again, in qvertaking a car at night, the spotlight is a beter signal than the horn; you direct its beam to the left margin to the road ahead of the car in front, who thus is Avarned that you are about to pass, Avhrle the beam illuminates any obstruction that might endanger your own car. This signal is especially valuable in passing t^eavy trucks Aviitb trailers, whose drivers might not be able to hear your horn, but are sure to see your spotlight beam alongside (if they don’t a quick flash on and off the rear view mirror is certain to be noticed.) Spotlights are useful also for flashing a beam ahead at street or higbAvay intersectiions to warn drivers approaching from either side; for signalling cars behind you when you are going to make a left turn; for illuminating your own left front fender as a warning to cars approaching from the rear when you are pulling out from a curbside parking place,: and for numerous other uses besides their main purpose. Both safety and comfort are served by insect screens in all ventilator openings. Most current model cars are regularly provided with screens in the cowl ventilators, but screens may be had also for the window openings of nodraft ventilating systems. Since on most vacation trips Lhe driver is not the only one whose comfort and pleasure are to be considered, accessory manufact-

urers have offerings of special value and utility for the passenger. For example, an extra windshield Aviper may be installed at the right side of the car; also, an additional adjustable sun visor, which may be equipped witih ^a snap-on vanity mirror for the benefit of feminine passengers. In strange towns, strange parking places, and in regions where service, stations are far apart, it is good economy to take precautions against petty thefts. The loss of a tankful of gas does not involve much money, but may cause hours’ delay in sparsely settled legions; while the loss of a spare tire is costly and also may be disastrous. Hence, locking gasoline tank caps, and spare tire locks, are good investments as insurance against loss, delays and discomfort. The locking gas tank cap, incidentlly, may save your car if it should be stolen, for the thief will be unable to renew the gasoliine supply, and his lack of a (key when he stops at a gas station usually arouses the suspicion of the attendant and leads to trac-

ing the car.

PLAYING SAFE An old negro had just paid the last installment on a small farm when the realtor who sold it said: “Well, Uncle Joe, 1 will make you a deed to the farm now since it has been paid for.” “Boss,” the old darkey replied, “if it am all de same to you 1 had much rather you would give me a. mortgage to de place.” The realtor, somewhat surprised, said: “Uncle Joe, you don’t seem to know the difference between a mortgage and a deed.” “Well; maybe not,” said Uncle Joe, reminiscently, "but 1 ©.wiled a small farm once to which l bad a deed and de Fust National Bank had a mortgage, and de bank got de farm.”

Use Cereals In Preparing Tasty “Economy” Dishes

A man's a man ..for a’ that*except in his own kitchen! In a world where refreshments are very apt to go feminine— with rosettes, “fixings” and whatnot, a mere male just hasn't a chance. ^ But just turn the Builder of Empires (plain “husband” to you!) loose in a kitchen, and watch him work wonder,?. The stag iTarty, with refreshrntents of, by, and for men is one of the best and happiest of occasions. Here’s, a trick. that the man of the house will enjoy playing with hamburger. Let him turn his fine Italian, hand just once to the concoction of a Cheese-Hamburger Sandwich, and his reputation as a' cook is made. Cheese-Ham-burgers—there’s a sandwich that a man can put his teeth into. Cheese-Hamburger Sandwiches can be made in several different ways—ail of them good enough to make the 19th hole club shout for more. One of the best ways is to fiogit tbs hamburger as

with or without onions—split the bun,;toast it, put.the hamburger on one half, a slice of “Old English” cheese on the other half, and put the two halves together. The hot hamburger melts the cheese to just the right consistency. A spoonful of relish or piccalilli to suit particular masculine tastes can be added to the Cheese-Hamburger to make..- a sandwich -worthy of the head of the house. Cheese-Frankfurters—made the same way—are just as good, and just as popular -with men.- Just split the frankfurter, sear it on both sides, place a slice of “Old English”—or any sharp American cheese—between the halves, press together, and place the frankfurter and cheese between toasted halves of a bun. Here is the traditional American “hot dog” favorite in glorified form*
