Requests for a Tribune Tour Bur- eau to be operated at the Tribune Ridg. during the Spring, Summer, and Fall when motorists feel the call of vacation land, have been so numerous during the past week that Sparky. fee!s prompted to ‘issue a little more information upon the subject. In the past, with the possible ex- ception of the tourist camp, Casper has been woefully lax in the service given tourists, both local and those from neighboring states. There has been no recognized bureau to which the tourist dr the man contemplat- ing a long trip, might come with a reasonable assurance of availing himself of authentic road informa- tion hotel data, distance figures, and facts about the care of the particu: Jar car which he drives or intends to drive. Beginning May 1, the Casper Daily Tribune will endeavor to fill this want to the tenth degree. Through the State Highway Depart- ment, authentic road informat'n will be obtained dafly and posted in bulletin form in the tour bureau, "f it is possible to obtain road mays from the highway, department, the tourist will 1 with these free of charge. Inqui: regarding road conditions distances, or trav ing facilities may be addressed to the Tribune Tour Bureau through the mails, or they may be made in person or by telephone. Largé scale maps will be kept on hand at all times for reference of Casper people who are planning an extensive trip. Sparky will be on hand to give free advice regarding the care of the car and equipment necessary to a long trip. Nothing will be more welcome to the Tribune Automobile Editor than scores of questions regarding the potential tour bureau. Make suggestions. Ask questions. At any rate, let's hear from you regarding the prospect. It is possible that with the de- yelopment of the tour bureau, a Tri bune Tour club will be organized for the purpose of boosting Casper in this and other states.

INCREASE IN COST TO PUBLIC By State Highway Department Many of the Eastern States are faced with the question of keeping the main roads open for “travel throughout the winter months, in- vo'ving the removal of snow after each storm, thus adding a consider- able expense to the usual mainten- ance program. Minnesota for ex ample, estimates the cost of such vork on her 7,000 mile state system, at half a million do and ques ons the wisdom of such an expendi- ure in consideration of the winter traffic which is probably less than 10 per cent of the summer traffic Assuming the length of the winter “eason equal to that of the summer season, according to their figures, 90 per cent of all traffic ts modated without such work. In W; accom: oming probably a still great ntage of the fo annual carried over our roads dur. s the summer or driving from May first to November first, during Which time regular maintenance is {n force. During the winter months the average in dividual, unless forced by necessity hesitates to start out on a trip over roads where towns or communities are separated by many miles and where if caught in a bifzzard he run. the risk of becoming stalled, and perhaps frozen to death before re- lef reaches him. Even in case of regular Winter Maintenance such 1 danger exists under Wyoming con ditions. It therefore appears prac- tical for the present to construct our roads with a view to making them as nearly “snow proof” as possible (which, however, cannot be done in all cases) thus taking care of the ‘arger percentage of traffic without the additional expense of regular Winter Ma'ntenance. When the pub'le decides that traf. fic demands warrant the keeping HONEY IDEAL ANTI-FREEZE IN RADIATOR | BY C. L. CORKINS, State Entomologirt, A so’utign of honey and water is the ideal anti-freeze mixture for au tomobile radiators. The auto driver who worries about how much alco- hol has boiled out of his radiator will find comfort in using the mdney solution. The honey never bolls out. Water evapor zes first, leaving the honey behind. Thus the safety is increased rather than de- creased, by the evaporization of the water, Another advgntage of the honey solution is that if excessively low temperature should occur, the solu- tion will not freeze into a solid body, but wil! form a s‘ushy, mushy substance which will not crack the radiator. This has happened repeat- ecly w'th absolutely no iN effects upon the radiator or engine. For Wfoming tempratures, a so lution of 60 parts extractéd honey in 40 parts water is absolutely safe for all weather, This should be mix- ed thoroughly by boi'ing on the stove before putting into the radi ator. But once the honey ‘s in, the trouble, expense and worry is over. With evaporation, water, only, need be added. Care should be taken to see that al hose connections are absolutely tight. ag the honey will escape where water {s he! ————~—~——___ Mr. Austin reports wonderful ‘action and far better perform. from the car equipped with the fort Cords.

The, four Federal war excise taxes which the Amert- can Automobile Association and the Casper Motor club is seeking to have repealed extracted $146,000,000 from the pockets of the motorists last year. The license and registra. jon fees paid to the various States took a toll of over 10,000,000.
