MOST ESSENTIAL UTENSILS FOR TOURING

dßt iMv nt' -1 yr. : ■?>•?/ : .«x ■ ~ - 2__ ■ • ■ _c.- . ..-, T*et and Cooking Kit Are Important for Camping Out

Camping out is one of the great privileges available to all who motor and at this season thousands of motor car owners are planning their expedition afield. For those who expect to enjoy ramp life for the first time, the Touring Bureau of the National Automobile club, California, issued a few suggestions. Here they are: Travel light. Is the first rule of tamping equipment. Don’t attempt to carry all the household furniture along if you really to enjoy four outing. The essentials Include a good tent >r a comfortable bed arrangement within the car; a good stove, beds and tedding, a compact kit of kitchen Utensils and a few tools. Good Tant Essential. The choice of a tent Is Important. The toot should be light, compact and easily erected. A canVas floor la well worth while and tent pegs should be »f metal. Cots, folding into small form, are better than heavier springs. Folding mattresses add to the comfqrt of the night’s rest. Blankets are easily Carried and pack well. Take plenty of bedding, as nights In the mountains even in midsummer are asunlly cool. The real woodsman would probably •corn an up-to-date stove Os the gas-

LEFT SIDE SAFE | OHTHEHIGHWAY Parent* Aho Urged to Caution Children Against Begging for Ride*. With the rammer outing season In full swing. pedestrians on the high ways are urged to follow the role of walking on the left side. In a Minnesota highway bulletin. "Walking on the left side of the •ond has l»een advocated for some time b» police and highway officials who have made a study of automobile accidents. yet a large number of people continue to use the right side of the road when walking.” says the bulletin. This makes It Impossible for them to see vehicles approaching on their side of the road The motorist may see the pedestrians, but he can never be sure which way they are going to turn. If he’ mens another vehicle Just as he Is about to pass a hiker. !t may be Impossible for him to turn out without striking one of them. B«0*lng for Rides. The habit of-asking for rides should also be discouraged Police In a number of cities have often Issued warning* against the practice. Most motor Ist* would be glad to give pedestrians an occasional lift, but the habit of asking for rides has been so much abused that many drivers as a matter of self protectlon refuse all requests give strangers a ride. Parents tghould be urged t<» caution their children against asking for rides The practice I* exceedingly dangerous when youngsters stand In the traveled portion of the street or highway and signal for a ride.” Pedestrians In* 1. An analysis of the i Xw vehicle accidents made for the recent Hoover tafety conference showed that pedestrians were Involved In 29,982 out of’ <7.128 accidents reported In the state •f New York In 1925. and that of L--191 persons killed. 1.155 were pedestrians The report further shows rhat 50 per cent of the motor vehicle accidents and 65 per cent of the fatalities occurred on straight, level roads. Adjusting Motometer I* Rather Difficult Task It Is a common opinion that the proper way to collect the fluid in the Indicating tube of the motometer. if it becomes separated, is to stick the item of the Instrument in boiling waler. This is an erroneous opinion, as tt will never gather the fluid. The fluid is separated du* to the fact that the Instrument was left lying on it* tide and air bubbles formed. It remains separated until it is restored to perfect working order, even though the instrument is put in an upright position. This is correctly accomplished by holding the motometer In an upright position and quickly tapping the bottom of the Instrument on the spare tire of the -car until the liquid Is gathered. Find > Weak Cylinder Without a crank handle it is difficult to test the compression of each cylinder. Oftentimes the motor is run with weak cylinders simply because it Is too much trouble to attach the crank handle and test the compression. If the compression of each cylinder is not kept up to a standard there is bound to be more er l«|k of a pound In the engine, which is Injurious to all the working parti and especially to the beerfng* -

oline type such as is now turned out by the camp goods factories, but wood Is scarce in many of our forest reserves, and the path of easiest resistance is to provide yourself with a dependable stove with folding oven attached. The gasoline stove is ideal, particularly for short trips, and the camp tire doesn't have to be disturbed for meals. Cooking Kit. A complete cooking kit of aluminum utensils nesting into the largest pan makes for camp efficiency and occu pies the least room. Food should be carried In tin cans and a vacuum bottle comes in handy for a hot lunch along the way between camp grounds or out on a hike. Don’t carry with you articles of value.’ It’s far cheaper to invest in a complete camp cooking outfit and use it only for camping expeditions than to leave some of the family silver out in some remote part. A water bag should be a part of the camp equipment, and extra gasoline and oil carried on the running board Is a safeguard against trouble and delay. The lighter you travel, provided you have the essentials along, the easier it will be on car and passengers and the more enjoyment you will get from your expedition.

At first glance it appear* to be a policeman hdidluj aloft the warning sign. Cost of Running a Car Not Fixed by Cyiinden Engineers have debated the reiativ« cost of operation of an eight-cylindei motor as against the six. Here la th* comment of one expert: ‘The ex pens* of running a motor doesn't de pend so much on the number of cyl inders a* it doe* on the number o' cubic Inches of piston displacement •Take a given piston displacement and divide It up any way you wan* to. Into two cylinders, four cylinders six or eight cylinders and you wll use Just about the same amount « gas. •Os course, the greater the nurnbei of cylinder*, the more overlapping a power impulses occurs and the smooth er th* operation of th* motor. But don’t make the mistake of thlnkini that additional cylinder* mean add! tioual expense, unless th* piston dis placement is Increased.” AUTOMOBILE HINTS The mythical “man in the street* is no myth to the driver who is try ing to keep his record clean. • • • < At night a parked car should hav. its lights turned on to show a whit* light ahead and a red one behind.

wy Dodd. Mead * Company.) Julius Caesar «<"KJOW that you have me in your IN power you would be wiser to kill me than to hold me for ransom.” “Why?” asked the puzzled pirate captain. "Because.” laughed the prisoner, “when I am free I shall return and Mil you.” The young man who thus jested with death was small, bald and of harsh, aquiline features. He was Cafus Julius Caesar, a Roman of high rank, exiled from hts home city. He had fallen into the hands of Cilician pirates and his attendants had gone to seek his ransom. When they came back with It he promptly armed a fleet, returned to the place of his captivity, overcame and crucified the pirates, according to hts promise. Rome, being a was for centuries swayed by two contending factions —the Patricians and the Plebeians. In the early part of the last century B. C..,the city had passed under the dictation of one Sulla, whose political, rival was Marius, Caesar's uncle by marriage. Sulla drove Caesar from Rome and kept him out of the city for years, during which period of exile the young man proceeded to perfect himself as a soldier, a writer, a statesman and an orator. He was destined to make marvelous use. later, of all these Accomplishments. On Sulla's death Caesar returned to Rome, receiving high office In the state. He spent the next twelve years tn building up the welfare of the plain people, whose fortunes were at low ebb. and in trying to heal civil disputes and secure equality for all Roma# citizens. This course made him tremendously popular with the people. even while hts extravagance plunged him deep into debt. At the age of forty he formed a triumvirate (triple alliance) with two famous men. Pompey and Crassus, by which the three were virtually to share among them the sovereign power of Rome. Caesar. In the division of offices, was made governor of northern Italy. Gaul (France and Switzerland) and the Alps. This office whs no sinecure, for the provinces were swarming with insangent tribes. For the next eight years he was constantly on the battlefield; often fighting in the front rank like a common soldier; little by little subduing all Rome’s Gallic foes. He con quered Gaul, hurled the Germans back over the Rhine and made that river a Roman boundary; crossed Into .Britain, and. after one repulse, conquered the country that Is now England; then. as Gaul again rose in a mighty confederacy of revolution, he crushed the uprising and stemmed the tide of barbarism which would otherwise have swept over the Alps and engulfed Rome. He kept a chronicle of his campaigns which, as “Caesar’s Commentaries.” has endured for nearly 2.UUU years as the foremost Latin textbook for schools and a model of literary style. Crassus died and Pompey and Caesar quarreled, thus breaking the triumvirate. Pompey’s party was In power in Rome. To weaken the great general who was becoming the people’s idol, the senate, at Pompey's order. deprived Caesar of office, ordering him to give up his command at once and to return home, under penalty of a treason charge. Caesar had two courses open to him —either to obey meekly and to lose all he had gained, or to defy the order and thus render himself Hable to death as an enemy to Rome. The river Rubicon divided his Gallic province from Italy. Should he cross that river under arms It would be an act of open war against Pompey. Caesar did not hesitate. With his legion of veterans he crossed the Rubicon, thus Irrevocably committing himself as Pompey's foe. Pompey, having no army ’sufficient to cope with him. fled, leaving the field cleat to his victorious rival. Caesar, aftet making himself master of the Italian peninsula, returned In triumph tc Rome, where be was balled as dictator. Pompey raised an army In tbs East, but was beaten by Caesar (whc met him with a far smaller force) an*! soon afterwards was murdered Pharnaces. Asian king of Pontns next defied Rome, and Caesar subduec him in one brief campaign, sending home this still briefer report of ths victory: “I came. I saw. I con quered!” A later conquest of Spain mads Caesar master of nearly all the world He rated Rome justly. Bnt ambition wrecked him as It has many another great man.
