If-you have gone over your car and carried out the suggestions given last week and the week before, you can be fairly certain that you will have no mechanical troubles during your.trip, The equipment you will need is the next thing to consider. This in- cludes the spares you should carry for the car as well as such things as tent, bed, etc. A good kit of tools should be taken , with a set of wrenches, that will fit every nut and bolt on the car and a . Special box spanner to fit the spark Plugs. In addition to these you should bave the special tools ahd . Spanners supplied with you car to fit certain parts. See that there is a ; good screw driver, cold chisel, ham- dock, now in the hands of receivers, outright for $650,000, but his offer was rejected. Arrangements were completed, however, by which he se- cures the use of the property for a ,| Tental of $70,000 a year. ¥ How to Prepare it for. Camping Tour’ By E.fl Scott a short one, then you may be able to make up dn outfit for cooking the meals from the family. kitchen, but you will find they take up quite.a lot of space. it is much better to buy one of the alumirum other and takes up very little space. of foods for that will depend on’ your own .particular fancy, but -I would like to advise you not to load up with a lot of canned goods. You can buy fresh vegetables and meat as you go, and you will enjoy your meals much better If you use fresh food than you will if you use a lot of canned stuff. a (Next Week—How to Load Up Equipment so 'That- Weight is Even ly Distributed.)

If you are un- ~ fortunate enough to have tire trouble or have to, jack up the car on soft © ground, you will find this piece of wood very useful. Your spares for the car should in- clude in addition to a spare tire and two extra tubes, two or three good Spark plugs, a spare fan belt and hos@ connection, a ‘set of lighting bulbs, small box of split pins, wash- ers, bolts and nuts and 100 feet of window cord. If you watch the Jevel of the gasoline in the tank and the oll in the crankcase it is not necessary to carry along extra gaso- * Ine or oil as you are never very far -from @ filling station.

Choose one that is guaranteed waterproof and that sily erected by one person of necessary. The khaki or tan colored tents are usually more water- proof than the white tents, and are not so- susceptible to mildew. See that your tent has plenty of head room and that there is room. for your bed gnd table without crowd- ing. If possible buy one with a sew- ed Mm floor, and mosquito-proof doors and Windows. This last is very im- pu vtant. Z Nearly all good tents have an awn- “ing that can be extended over the top of the car or held in front with two poles. This enables you to keep the inside of the tent clear and gives you more room to moye about for most of the luggage can then be left In the car. On wet days you will find this feature especially valu- able, for the stove can be brought in- side the tent and the meals cooked and served without any trouble. You have a number of folding beds to choose from. The main thing is to select one that is strong and compact when folded up. What- ever you leave behind, don’t let it be the bed. A folding bed is’ worth all the space it takes up. If your pocket will stand it, buy an alr mat- tress. You will find this will make as comfortable a bed as any you ever slept in and you will not re- quire more than three blankets to cover you. If you do not-have an alr mattress, be sure to carry sev- eral pairs of blankets and sleep with ns many blankets under you as over you. You will find that the cold has a way of creeping up and freezing your back if you do not have enough blankets underneath. If the weather is very cold place a number of sheets of paper between the mattress and blankets and you will find it helps to keep the cold out. For cooking purposes on @ camp- ing tour there is only. one kind of stove to use and that is the gado- line variety.* If there are only two in the party, a two-burner will do nicely, but for three or four persons take a three-burner. With this kind of stove you do not need to worry about. wood or wet days. Then again with a gasoline stove you can have a meal on the fire five minutes after you stop. If the weather is very cold a gasoline stove will heat up the tent very nicely, although you must be careful not to close up all open- ings or the filmes may cause trouble.

FORD GOING INTO RETAIL COAL TRADE: By J. C. ROYLE. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Henry Ford is going into the retail coal business .in the Northwest. This. fact has become known with the ar- rival at Duluth of the Benson Ford, one of the ‘Ford Motor company’s fleet, with a cargo of coal from the Ford Kentucky mines. W.. B. Mayo, chief engineer for the Ford interests, who arrived at Dul- uth with the Benson Ford, took over the décks ‘which have “been rented to the’Ford company for a year. Mayo said_the Ford coal supply would be first usedto fill the needs of the various Ford plants in the northwest and the remainder would be sold to the public. At first, Mayo added, the coal will be dispos- ed of in carload lots and sales offices will be opened both in Duluth and in St. Paul or Minneapolis. Mayo will return to the head of the lakes from a final trip to De- trolt for instruction on the Henry Ford 2nd, next week when the final plans for distribution and handling the fuel will be made public. The Ford boats, which carry coal to the head of the lakes, will Joad iron ore at Duluth for the Ford plants at River Rouge, Mich. Two additional boats now under construction will be, placed in operation within a short time. Extensive improvements also will be made to the Duluth docks to facilitate handling of this _ traffic. x to buy= the WHEEL “CAMBER” OF MUTOS 15 EXPLAINED When a car is viewed from the front, it will be seen that the front wheels slant away from each other ith the road with with the center) of) the king pin. The wheel.bearing is carried on the overhanging portion of the steering knuckle which Is’ pivoted on the king ‘pin located on the ends of the axle, This overhanging causes the wheels to describe an arc, or portion of a circle whenever they are revolved around the Brae, io. Seo has found undesirable, as t wheels do jot respond readily to a turn of the steering wheel, due to the circular path on which they must travel in making a turn.
