Even the finest drawing-room car has its disadvantages. If the win dows ure closed it is stuffy; if they are open the hard, gritty cinders from the roadbed fly up in your eyes in a most painful fashion, and if sereens are in the windows you can’t see out. And then you must prime pleasure destroyer, an objec tive point. No rambling thru sunny meadows and cool woods for you; stopping in quiet, quaint little villages nestled in the lowlands or tucked away in a corner of the mountains; no dainty meals of fresh | country things in queer old tap: rooms, and no refreshing sleep in the restful quiet of an old country | inn. No one of these are for train: | travelers; only the heat and the rush | and roar df the train hurrying past | have that all the pleasant places, permitting only a rapid glance and a wistful | look back as it tears you away. | Conventional meals in the dining car and the torture of a small, hot berth at night make up your existence un til you arrive at your destination. And then, having exhausted the beauties of that particular spot, you grow restless, longing for new de-| lights, for the unseen just around the corner, and so—the train again. All the wonders that lie off the! beaten track are hid to you forever. A train stops at a certain point for purely commercial reagons, not be cause it is beautiful or worth seeing So your traveling becomes merely a study of different centers of trade. Travel should bring you something better, finer and more worth while. Every negative pleasure mentioned above becomes positive when you motor. Then, and then only, are you your own master, stopping where you please and going on at your own wish; or if not, a luncheon under the trees from your own bas- ket.

Removable Truck Bodies May | Be Used to Great Advantage BY WARREN B. BULLOCK Formerty Capt.

The saving is twofold. Time of unloading the freight is saved, and the time of the truck is utilized to highest advantage.
