l & C hiz When the Ontario Motor League succeeded in establishing reciprocity after years of effort, finally, in 1916, in automobile licenses between the province of OQntario and neighbouring ~states of the American Uuion, the barriers to international motor tourâ€" ing were thereby removed and from Zthat time dates the beginning on a Frand scale of the free and uninterâ€" Tupted flow of motor tourist traffic between the two countries. Each year "the number of tourists‘ cars crossing ‘the border has shown a considerable ‘increase and always the total of those entering Canada has greatly exceeded the total of those entering the States. To Canadian motorists the . interâ€" change of automobile licenses has opened up the great state highways â€"at_no expense, which means an anâ€" nual saving of many thousands of dolâ€" Jars to these who crossâ€" the line to tour in the United States. There is TREMENDOUS DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL TOURING But what of the car of the futureâ€" ~the car of ten, fifteen or twenty years hence? It is an interesting speculation â€"â€"one in which we may all indulge freely. & a similar advantage accruing to motorists who visit Canada. T« country at large there is the be derived from the expenditure of lions: of dollars by the tourists balance is heavily in favor of country. During the present summer cars bearing U.S. license plates are met with everywhere on the highways of rural Ontario and in the streets of the cities. While the licenses of New York, Michigan, and. Ohio, the conâ€" tiguous States, are most in evidence, nearly every State in the Union seems to be represented, even those so reâ€" mote as California and Florida. In the leading cities of Ontario it is no uncommon thing to see cars from half a dozen different States parked at one time in the neighbourhood of. With the development of a national system of highways in Canada, which is now proceeding under the direction. of the Dominion Highways Commisâ€" sion, and involving the expenditure of probably a hundred millions of dolâ€" lars within the next decade, who can say what the limits are of the tourist traffic which is to be attracted to Canada. The _ mountains, â€"forests, lakes and rivers of the great Dominâ€" ion, when made accessibleâ€"by good roads, will prove an irresistible magâ€" netic foree to countless thousands of motor tourists from across the line, and to the drawing power of the wilds of Canada will be added that of its beautiful pastoral regions and , fine cities. The intangible assets of cliâ€" mate and scenery may yet be reckonâ€" ed the greatest of Canada‘s natural resources even in wealthâ€"producing terms. 4 a downâ€"town hotel. Automobile Clubs in Ontario are deluged for requests for touring information from all parts of the United States. While the heaâ€" viest tourist traffic from the United States enters the province of Ontario, all other provinces, and especially Quebec and the Maritimes, draw thousands of visitors to their highâ€" ways from the United States. NFOTOR Our future car will, perhaps, be shod with tires capable of manyâ€"times the wear of our tires of toâ€"day. They may be of a punctureâ€"proof type, very resilient, yet possessed of now unâ€" known wearâ€"resisting ability. Possibly they will not even be made of rubber, who can tell? In twenty years we may have a netâ€" work of underground or overhead roads for motor cars only. This is suggested by the thought that our modern car is a slow vehicle indeed as compared withâ€"a future car capâ€" able of making 100 to 150 miles an hour. We will think nothing of such speeds, they will mean no discomfort, because of the spring suspensionâ€"or perhaps it will be pneumaticâ€"will wsa anen that no bouncing will occur perhaps it will be pneumalicâ€"â€"Wil be such that no bouncing will occur in the body. We are on the eve of an efa of great scientific possibilities. There is no reason for having wild dreams concerning our future method of road transportation. . Likewise there is no reason why we should not have them if we want to . Jules Verne had them. and most of them came true. ‘The telephone, â€" theâ€" wireless, the THE GARAGE MAN ES 1 CARS OF TOâ€"DAY AND TOâ€"MORROW â€"Canadian Motorist Motor News of Interest Every time that you take a long trip it pays to have your car all fixed up.

Gasoline Facts There has been much pessimistic talk about an imminent "gas" famine by the human natural gas gushers of the calamityâ€"monger type. Here is what some authorities have‘to say on the subject: Her;;;'vi;; Doherty: â€"‘"There‘ll be gasoline for us, for our children, "and our children‘s children."‘ U.S. Bureau of Mines: ‘"Reserve gasoline in stock in March reached 626,292,046 gal., an increase in 30 days of 80,330,6117.

Up to July of this year 380 cars have been stolen, by months, as follows: & Car Thefts Drop in Toronto Thefts of automobilés in Toronto are being splendidly reduced this year by the police. Last year altogether 1,660 cars were stolen, of which all but 51 were recovered before the end of the year. A number of these were recovered by the detectives since 1920 began, so that the total number of cars stolen last year not recovered to date is only about 40.

In ripening tomatoes we have had very satisfactory results by keeping them in a cool dark place, preferably bound in something such as straw or wrapped in papers and closed in boxâ€" es.â€"W. A. Munro, Rosthern, Sask. It is difficult to keep apples for any length of time in an average town house as the temperature of the cellar is usually too high..

With the ever increasing cost. of living, it has become necessary. to find corresponding means of saving. The housewife is the person on whom most of the responsibility of econoâ€" mizing rests. The use of some of the 'cheaper grades of flour instead of the highly expensive first patent is anâ€" other means of saving what may be added to the already long list. Durâ€" ing the war, all members of the comâ€" munity were forced to use governâ€" ment standard flour, which was of a lower grade than most people had been accustomed to. Nevertheless, most of the bakers succeeded in furnâ€" ishing bread so" good that few people would have considered it distinctly inferior had it not been for the differâ€" ence in colour. Tooâ€"much attention has, however, always been paid to colour in flour and bread. Bread that is really very pale is not. so healthful as bread made of somewhat lower grade of flour, and the warâ€" time bread was really superior as to food to the extremely white product in use previously. Lower grades of flour somewhat similar to the govâ€" ernment standard flour can be purâ€" chased but are not usually in demand on account of their inferior colour. These second and third grade flours, however, contain a higher percéntage of protein and_ assimiliable phosâ€" phates. These features are distinctly advantageous.
