The Automobile BEWARE OF TOO MUCH LU Befor« the automoblV« industry chungred our nvxia of lif« radically, the idea of going camping waa not io- dii:g«d in by any ft««t proportion of our population. Camping then in- volved worlds of preparation and nunv- erous other problems. Tltf motor ve- hicle haa changed all that. Now al- most everybody contemplatea a camp- ing experienc-e and most folks use their awtomobllea in one way or an- otlmr in the procesjs of enjoying the great oiut-of-doora. To prepare for camping vi« auto- mobile Involves no great outlay of time or expense. There are just a fevif simple facts to consider to bo prepared whoii going on tour. A little exper- ience makes one thing plain; the camper must first of «il consldftr the model of his car and then select his outfit with reference to it A fiv»- passenger ear with a light' outfit, two or three fewer passengers than there is room for, and nothing on board that is not absolutely necessary, represents n .â- sort of ideal to be striven for. Make a tentative list of articles one proposes to take and then weigh tho value of h one of them in .service before I .Dieting the final list .V failing of many campei^ is to t: ;.o too much outfit. When camp is to be made every nisht and broken every morning equipment should be easy to handle. Some outfits take liours to set up and as long to take down and pack away in the morning. They make work out of camping in- stead of recreation. A tent should weigh not more than thirty pounds. Kvory detail of camp making, from pitching the tent or making the beds or handling the food containers, building the fires and pre- paring the meals, should be easily within tho strength of every member of the party. DINING ROOM SHELTERED. One of the favorite forms of tent provides a shelter dining room under the extension. In stormy waether this protection will be welcomed, as one cai\ sot up a gasoline stove and con- tinue operations. Ix)ok for a tent with a sewed-in floor and provision for keeping mosquitoes out. Blankets are essential, bat many campers dispense with a cot and sleep on the sewedcin- tent floor. If this is done, spread a rain-proof protection under your blankets. Camping creates a taste for simple foods and, since there are stores along th^ main routes, it is seldom worth while to carry food supplies for more GOAGE IN CAR CAMPING. than a oouple of day* unless one la going into an uninhabited region. Meals in camp can be made as good as meeils at liome. You can use tiie fireplace and firewood provided at most park camp sites or you can carry a folding gasoline stove, a folding grid, or a grubstake. The tourist who goes by auto fully prepared for emergencies, however, is seldom out of luck. A little breakdown of one kind or- another will not incon- venience him greatly. Bad weather will not impede his progress. In fact there is nothing that is liable to pre- vent him proceeding happily on his way. The speedster knows little about the pleasure of touring, nor does the fel- low who is always worrying lest he may not arrive at a certain point at ex«u:tly a certain time. Such a person spends so much time pursuing tho maps of the roads or watching his clock that the beauties of nature lav- ishly provided for him to see are entirely lost The man who is starting out for a tour with a new car which has been tried out enough to be sure that it Is in condition need only know he has with him the things most likely to be needed in an emergency. But if the car has been in service for several months or more he ought to give it a careful inspection before starting. In fact, after the owner has done what he is able to do by way of a thorough going over of the machine he can con- firm any suspicions he may have as to mechanical infirmities by taking the machine to a good service station. REFILLING GEAR CASES. One of the things to attend to is the refilling of the gear cases. Both the transipission and the differential cases should be drained of all oil and wash- ed out carefully with kerosene. At the same time the gears should l>e exam- ined closely to see if they are not in good shape. When cleaned the cases should be r«filled~with the proper amount of new lubricant. Tho crank case of the engine should be drained and cleaned out with kero- sene, and fresh oil should be put in. If the oiling system is working proper- ly it is best to let it alone except to see that it is well filled with the -proper quality of lubricant. Of course the grease cups should be filled with the proper quality of lubri- cant and all points which are lubri- cated with oil from a squirt can should be taken care of. All the wheel bear- ings should be examined to determine their condition and to see that they are properly lubricated.

Many homes have, probably in a minor degree, such fire hazards. At- tics are used for the storage of dis- carded furniture and other material that rarely will ever be again requir- ed. The accumulation of years, bow- ever, makes a fire risk that should not be allov/ed to exist. These conditions are known to in- surance companies, they know the risks they are taking in writing poli- cies on such property, and they base their average rate on the risks they take. The public pays the charge. Individual property may be kept in fire safe condition but collectively the danger exists, and the carelessness of one individual may mean the destruc- tion of the community. . ,> Gather Relics from British Ship Burned in 1812 one day.

O Hardy Motorists Invited to Hudson Bajr Territory A procession of tourists driving Into the picturesque northland on their own family motor cars, fitted with flanged rims to grip the rails of the Hudson Bay line, is the ingenious scheme proposed by R. M. Haultain, a railway construction engineer of Winnipeg. Mr. Haultain believes that such traffic over the government railway will present no difficulties. To ob- viate any danger of accidents, â-  he would placard the line to the effect tl)at the odd days of the month would be reserved for nortl^bound traffic- and the even days for southbound. Each car would be required to carry a light derailing shoe to provide for emergencies. The investment on the part of the railway company for flanged rims, trailers, Steering gear locks, etc., â- would be negligible, declared Mr. Haultain, when compared with the increased revenue obtained from freighting cars to different-points along the Hudson Bay line. â€" : 9 Autoists Average One Killing Daily in Great Britain: Japanese Mountain Scalers to Explore Canadian Rockies] Chancellor Under the joint auspices of the Tokio "Nichi Nichi," the Osaka "Mainiahi" and the Japan Mountain- eering Society, an attempt will be made by a party of Japanese moun- tain climbers to ascend thg heretofore insurmountable peaks of the Canadian Rockioa.
