to know that The Automo- I
hile Club of America has juat irub-j
ishwl the fourteenth edition of its
annual road book, the 192M Associated
Tours Guide, which is now ready
for distribution.

vn*t area of the United States east of
the Mississippi and eastern Canada,
as well as the more popular trans
continental ami trans-Canadian ixmtea, >
afford the motor vacationist a wide1
range of touring fields from which to
select
In all, the Guide gives over one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
miles of the U?st, hard surfaced highways
in the country, especially chosen
for their charm of scenic outlook,

The Big Wheel Bicycle
and Days of Long Ago
(By Churl** A. David In Greenville
Newn)
Do you remember when the first
bicycle, the kirn! that had to have *
alep-iaddci for mounting, wa? brought
to Greenville ? If I not mistaken,
Mr. fho*. \S. Davis, then one of the
foremost merchants of the town, was
the only man with the nerve to buy
one.
And when he got it, he didn't know
\yhat to do with the thing, so he had
it rolled around on Laurens street,
back of his store, and left it leaning
against the wall, where anyone who
was tired of living, might try to rale
A bucking broncho compared with
thia diabolical contrivance, with its
sixth-inch wheel, ita wire spokes, its
heavy steel rim, its solid rubber tire,
its little sixteen inch wheel tagging
along behind, was as nothing. It
could throw you and walk ull over
you, without moving the fraction of
an inch. To mount the little saddle,
qver five feet above ground, required
the assistance of two strong men, one
on each side to keep the big wheel
in a perpendicular position, while therider
was getting settled, and getting
his feet on the pedals. It was then
necessary for him to sit very erect,
for if he leaned ever so little forward,
he was almost sure to tuke a
"header," five-foot and a dive on the
hard ground, was no laughing matter.
Even Dismounting Was Difficult
As long as*the rider could keep his
balance, and keep the wheel turning,
he was comparatively safe, but if the
wheel began to wobble, he was a
goner. Dismounting, if anything was
more difficult, and equally as hazardous
as mounting, so when a rider once
got tin* thing going good, he generally
rode alDday, and only quit when
bed-time came and he could no longer.
All day long there was a crowd
hanging around the machine, offering
suggestions to the riders, and
yelling with delight when some one
made anything but a graceful dive.
A few did actually learn to ride this
sky-scraper, but it was at the expense
of skinned elbows, bunged-up
faces, and an occasional broken wrist.
I never learned, in fact, I only tried
once, and that satisfied me. From
my elevated position on the wheel,
the earth seemed so far away that I
got rattled and forgot to work the
pedals, and when I leaned too far
forward, it kicked up, and 1 measur|
ed my length on the ground. 1 did
j not get up, but lay where 1 had fallen,
jand waited for the little wheel to
come over and hit irir in the head,
which it did after so long a time?
I t nen I went home and waited ter.
years for the "safety" bicycle to be
. put on the market, before I ever
tried to ride a wheel again.
1 never think of those tirst high
bicycles without thinking of a curious
thing that hap|>ened to a young lawyer
living here at the time, who did
finally Piaster the art of riding the
new-tang.e things, and become very
expert at it. While learning, of
course he had many falls, in
one of them he hurt his nose, and instead
of getting well as most noses!
would have done, a curious state of
atiaiis developed. On the tip of h.sl
no.-e a jet black protuberance about i
tne size of a cowpea appeared; front
the end of which sprouted a smaller!
piotuberance, as white as the driven!
-lew. seemed to sprout. The doctor-!
*er? afraid to remove the growth, s>j
he pad to wear this striking headbg-'-'
for several months until ;t
giauu.il.y wort' off.
1 tirst type of wheel was never
ip? :? had too many seYious drawti;i
' ' b.gh seat was five feei
'1ground; it was hard t manage,
u haiv.,-r to m >unt. and falls
were frequent, and >ome-':m,- sen-,
ous. n was not string that it
gax way tu the typ,. nen tHQ,
L p to about this tin,, the bicycle
had been m. rmpoiized by trie breeches
weai.ng part of the population;
i but with tiu invention >f the
frame wheel, a type specially adapt!? '.
for women. soon became pop.;
. iar with._Lhe wearers of skirts. And1
; - was not loi g before as many worn-'
, ;,s were riding wheels.
I hose Divided Skirts tome Along
1 hen?1?beC it w _^J
man. thought of the divided skirt?1
and the problem of getting on and
off a bicycle was solved; the genera,
appearance of the new style was hu
lttle different from that of a regu.a.lon
skirt, and no one would notice
the difference unless the wearer had
I to climb a fence?and then, the thing
| was self-evident.
One day, Greenville people, in newpaper
lingo, "received a d.stiiu*
f-n>>ck. as some woman had left h.
skirts hanging on the peg behind tre
closet door, and donning a pair o'
.oose fitting Turkish trous< rs. moused
her wheel, ar.d was ccmplacent.v
pedal.ng her way down .N.a n st-ei*
perfectly oblivious of the attention
sac was attracting.
Her tight-fitting waist, ball.,
si.-eves, and hair piled atop her ho ?
capped by the ridiculous little -v.'
with its swe- ung plume. . nlv aeon
tuated the unusual natuic'of her
.ewer garb.

;-h;?t she might have done has Ixhii

, - fame!
Their first appearanct n Greene

\'y.i woman who dared. u,i:r..| herself
I he head of a procession, mat grew
>n numbers as she progr^sod. and
raily stopped all str^i traffic/
|;bich happaned to be Mrs Chaplin's
-anu.y carriage, and a buggy from
the country. Greenville's ! me policeman
was at his wit's end. and hardiv
anew what to do, but he finally mustered
up courage to touch her shoulder
and whisper, "Lady, you will have
to go home and put on some clothes,
before you can rid* on our streets''*
th,?V th?it
think if he could come buck and ^
the endlesa procession of kr*ee-len*th
skirts, and thin silk stocking*, that
parade up and down tiw name Main
street that got such a shock a generation
or so ago? But there is
ing like "getting uaed to a thing."
Even twenty-five years such an *x"1*
bition would have caused a riot; and
the military would have beer^ called
out; and the strong arm of the law
would have been invoked, and the
churches would have been appealed to
to do something to stop it. Hut now
nothing is thought of it. The old
Latins had a saying, "limes change,
and we change with them; and the
longer 1 live, the more am 1 convinced
that the old Romans were about
right! A generation ago, things^ that
wer? regarded as being "fast, ' are
now looked on as being very slow, ^
and certain things that were then
spoken of in whispers?are now
shouted from the house-tops. Comparts!
with some of the late styles,
bloomers and divided skirts were
modestly personified.
First Bloomers in Action
1 newr shall forget the first bloomers
1 saw in action, and how 1 stepped
around a corner to catch my
breath. The first divided skirts I
happened to run up on was in a
mountain road near Caesar's Head,'
worn by a party of girls on horseback,
probably from Asheville or some
other northern resort?and I can see
them yet, in passing that place in the
road. Ever since 1 have had Asheville
associated with riding astride.
Speaking of bloomers and divided
skirts, reminds me of the kind of
skirts women wore when I was a lot
younger than I am now. In the first
place they were more than twice as
long as they are now; and had four
or five times as much material in
them. They were cut so as to touch,
the ground evenly all the way round;.
but if anything, they were a bit long-1
er in the back, and when walking the
women's feet were invisible, and she1
produced the effect of a body float-1
ing through the air, like thistle-down.1
Ir. the old days when a woman sat i
down, instead of throwing one knee'
over the other, as the present style
demands, she sank back against a
pile of cushions, folded her hands,
drew her feet back under her skirts
until only the tips of the slippers
I showed, and breathed a gentle,
maidenly sigh.
Some of the old-time ladies were so
overly modest that they would drag
'their skirts right through a mudpudd!e,
rather than raise them an inch,
and some one might see that they did
have feet. In my clerking days ofie
of that kind came in the store, and
after beating around the bush, and
biushing until 1 was afraid her face
would go up in a blaze, she at last
.< ! me know that it was ladies' gauze
vests that she wanted, but she did
i not come right out and sav so, but
(she asked for "BODY MITTS." I
i had never heard them called by that
! r'a*ne. but they certainly did fit like
j nutts. so I was able to translate the
< rder?and she left with her mitts.
1 it has not been many years since a
j woman would sit down in a shoe
store, and let a clerk fit her. Up to
that time, she carried an armful
"' *" arjrmm^mm' *"" - 1 -?*
ham*, And retired to the privacy of
ber own room to try them on. But
she does not do that any more - aml
now, there are mighty few secrets
between the customers and her favorite
aboe aaleaman. False modesty
has gone out of style and the world
that much better off.
At Nowiwa Lauding, near Kidgeland,
the sheriff found 8,000 quarts of
real whisky in a car of potatoes ami
destroyed the |40,000 worth of imported
goods. There is no agent *t
that station, conductors leaving ami
picking up cars, and there was a J
large shipment of potatoes shunted
there temporarily.

Too Cross and Nervous
"Even my husband couldn't talk
to me, I was so cross and nervous.
Vinol has made me a different and
happy woman."?Mrs. N. McCall.
Vinol is a compound of iron, phosphates,
cod liver peptone, etc. The
very FIRST bottle makes you sleep
better and have a BIG . appetite.
Nervous, easily tired people are surprised
how QUICK the iron, phosphates,
etc., give new life and pep.
Vinol tastes delicious.?"W. Robin
