MUNICIPAL CUP PLAN EUR CITIES BRAWSTOURISTS Trans-Continental Motorists Flock to Grounds Opened by Municipalities. PERFORM GREAT SERVICE Citizens Encourage Travel by Contributing Efforts Toward Idea. “The time is not far distant when every city In the country will have a municipal motor camp,” declared a prominent automobile man recently. “The fact that 300 cities now have municipal motor camp sites constitutes one of the greatest tributes to the automobile as a factor in helping American citizens see their country first.” “The 300 cities having municipal motor camp sites are performing a service for trans-continental motorists and for those taking shorter automobile trips, that was hardly thought of ten years ago. "Hundreds of additional camp sites are supplied on national and State forest reserves and on privately-owned grounds. "Official figures show that 598,000 campers used these municipal sites in 1921, whereas hundreds of thousands more camped in the State and national reservations. “Just in proportion as these camp sites Increase, just in that proportion will cross-country touring and in general long automobile touring increase. It is not only profitable for the communities to foster these camping sites, but it is profitable for the country as a whole to have our citizens see our own country. “Another great advantage of the automobile tour is the fact that persons making such a journey will visit the little by-ways, the litcle out-of-the-way spots and thereby gain a better knowledge of the country than visiting the large centers Only, when traveling by other means of transportation. And the health feature of being outdoors in an automobile Is not the least of the benefits. "That this form of traveling hits gained tremendously may be gleaned from the fact that nearly T. 000,000 passengers were carried in mortor cars in 1921 as compared to a little better than 1,000,000 carried on steam railroads.” Reserve Supplies Important. Auxiliary cans of oil and gasoline come in handy at times. Match the Gasoline Pump. Keep your eye on the gasoline pump for full measure.

By AT A Service SEATTLE, Aug. 26. —For the next three years Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Kette will be visiting, snail-like, every part of the United States.

The traveling home provides all conveniences a young married couple would want. The body, of wood with a sheetlron, covering, has front and rear entrances. Windows on each side, •with homey curtains, provide light. A tank under the rear carries twenty-five gallons of water. Lockers on each side carry food. An ice box, In front, can be opened by the driver without stopping the car. Changes Made Quickly Five minutes’ work converts the big compartment into a dining-room, kitchen, bedroom or living-room.

The meal prepared, a table for four people lifts up from the wail on the other side. To the rear, an Inviting couch in daytime Is made into a full-sized bed at night by releasing its spring holders. A sewing machine can be swung out under the work table when needed.

The time has passed when closed models are considered town cars. There Is nothing better for country driving. Anew Ford made its appearance during the past week. Slanting wind shield and one-man top are the principal new features. New prices on the Paige-Jewett line have had a wonderful effect on stimulating the business of the Sterling Motor Car Company, 832 N.
