first-class neurotonic. In the line of equipment you have & remarkable latitude. Your outfit may be almost anything, provided it passes two rigorous tests. One is the test of compacttiess, which makes for port- ability; and the second is utility, which y calls upon the same. article not only to serve its purpose well, but to serve for more than one purpose. I have said that one lives en route just as at home, and now I must ex- plain, Suppose we begin with the food problem. Auto-camping fs not living on canned milk, messy butter, smoked or salted meat and fish, dri iit, dehydrated vegetables and hard-tack. Indeed, for the last two years we have had, anywhere that we wished to stop for a meal in the heat of August, plen- ty of fresh cow's milk, hard yellow the camper, tank, when needed, at any city or town, and with this gas jet a b500- candle-power white light is supplied in camp for the evening reading, writ- ing, mending, or indeed anything needs ing illumination. Unless one is in a motor-camping park for several days he will not need much evening illum- ination. There are many other items: bat- tery-less flash-lamp, requiring lntely no battery and no replenishing; some kind of pack-basket; luggage carriers; a camp ax and knives. all in sheaths; cooking utensils nesting com- pactly and light in weight, preferably of aluminum, specially built for just the purpose of auto-camping; maps, folding table and chairs; wash-basin and cupboard; fishing-tackle and fire- butter, fresh-cut steak or fish, fresh fruit, crisp garden vegetables, ice-cold drinks, and often ice cream, "Tce cream| camping 1" 'you 'ask. Certainly! Too, cream 100 miles back in memote coun-. try, far from a delicatessen head- quarters, { " The . secret fis our refrigerator lunch-basket, Each morning we stop at the first town we pass through an fill the little ice compartment in this basket, and ali day we carry any per- ishable food we want, just as we keep it at home in the kitchen ice-box, and our camp menu is just as va and eppetizing, indeed, more so--be- L,CAUSe We are on our vacation--than at home. Besides, our appetites ave sharper if anything. And the little refrigerator basket, or fice-box, or ice- chest, makes our family larder just as fresh and cool and wholesome as the best hotel. Many is the time we have purchased in rural communities butter before it was churned, and milk that came frothy from the pail. Sleeping along the roadside or in the motor-camping park is easy on any one of dozens of portable beds. To-day there have sprung up ly scores of vast concerns that are building no- thing but camping cquipment, many of them nothing but aubo- ng outfits. You may select restful air- tonneau cots, folding wooden cots with springs; beds that are made up inside your car, or with ome end attached to the running-board, or independent- ly of your automobile; or beds that are part of those new tent-bed com- binations. Question of Tents. The question of tents is not diffi- cult; and if you already have a good wall tent; one that allows you-to carry the tent-poles, then you may use that. Much to be preferred are the wonder- ul adto-tents that co-operate with the car in making a cozy roadside home. Tents may be selected in balloon silk, silicette, airplane cloth, emeraldine, canvas, and a great many other styles of cloth; most of them depend for their wet-repelling yirtues on a very exacting process of waterproofing. Make sure your tent does not have cumbersome. tent-poles, is well ven- - tilabed, screened and curtained; has plenty of headroom --that is, standing room--and is large enough, Perhaps you will carry twe auto-tents, pitching one each side of the car; some tents come in sections, as many sections Yo be used as needed. ak The favorite ~stove: among auto- campers, East. and West, is the little gasoline vapor-burner, which uses the same fuel as your automobile; a close second, if indeed not an equal, is the compressed gas-tank stove speciaily built for motor-camping. Both gas- oline and gas-stoves are popular, be- cause the fuel is handy and instant. Wood stoves are popular where you are, sure to find a fuel supply handy of these stoves fold or collapse into small, space. Some have, pipeless | arms; extra clothing, including at least one pair of rubber boots for the party; camera to bring home record of the trip; first-aid kit, and many others. Of course, every single party does not need absolubely everything listed. Per- haps many items of equipment may be taken from the home kitchen or tool shop. However, one should never sac- rifice on a really comfortable outfit, because the saving of the first excur- glon will pay for everything. Clothing Is Of Major Importance. Clothing should be given careful 'consideration. Nothing but woolen, either light or medium weight, ought to be worn next the skin when camp- ing. The outer clothing should be a good waterproof material that really does shed water. For the feet, moc- casin boots are ideal. Wool shirts for men and wool middies or blouses for women are best. Many women to-day are wearing the same outfits as their husbands and brothers, a practice that is general in the West, and certainly most sensible. If you object to riding breeches," Mrs. Aubo-camper, then. wear knickers. The divided skirt and bloomers are popular, too. Any tough clothing may be forced into service, Small children wear just the same clothing as at home. Those above five may be outfitbed with the same water- proof material as adults, but I find that most campers prefer to have growing children outfitted with union- alls. ; Automobile camping equipment should be selected carefully, because the proper outfit will make this new avocation Elysium, while a hodge- podge equipment will as surely make it most anything else. Take the least amount possible that will serve your real needs; and leave a hundred and one things that might be "nice" right at home, Under the rear seat of our car we carry bent-poles, folded wood tent stove, tools,' and other small articles. - We always take out: the foot-rail from the tonneau and in its double air-bed is carried there, too. The refrigerator basket and gasoline stove ave on the floor of the tonneau, while the other things--packed in a pack- basket or duffel-bag-likewise ride on the running-board. We keep one side of tthe car free from equipment so that the doors can be opened. The tent t goes on the running-board or & gage carvier in the rear.
