They gave the Impression of having an Independent income, "My experience Is that a lot of tourists don't know very much, and don't stop to learn anything, either," said Mr. linker 'The result Is, they have tt lot of hard knocks, When we were coining into New York state, about ???;.( i miles t rom here, we turned off down a side road to camp by Lake KrljK There was .in outfit down hy t he lake which clu i mod they had had a lot of hard luck.

Hut it smashed him, and it was pure luck that he didn't roll over. 1 asked him about the. kind of road, and he couldn't tell me; said It was pretty muddy, but had gravel on It too. "There you are! He smashed up and was taught a lesson, and didn't know what the lesson was. The fact Is there are more than 200 different kinds of good roads In the United States. I've been on most kinds. I'll recite a few of them ? mountain contract roads, stone water-hound concrete roads, oil waste roads, gravel, sand and clay, broken down stone roads, cut and till crushed stone surface, cinder, shell, bank gravel, beach gravel, (jcscrt two trackers, and so on.

This side of IlufYtilo, and here and there in Now York and California, you have concrete roads.

I've seen the ruins of ton times as many at garages the country over. Not one but what came to an untimely because of carelessness of some kind. And nine times out of ten the carelessness was because the driver was going too fast on a road he didn't know. You'll find at tho bottoms of slopes in tho Hookies big, beautiful cars, all ruined ? skidded on 4111st, on clay that looked solid, 011 sand that was roljer bear Ings, or on a long pooled log gutter cross. "No, sir!
