---------------------- ■ ■■■■ ■ — sacrifice liis tooth-brush, the pen or pencil should be carried. Night, like the tide, has never failed to close in upon us and almost as regu- larly. the traveler begins to look for a spot to spend the night as soon as it grows dusk. With the coming of darkness the auto-hiker can feel assured that his day's travels are over, for the few who travel in the night are too suspicious and afraid to offer rides to strangers, and they are not to be blamed. With his means of traveling cut off the auto-hiker's thoughts then turn toward a shelter for the night. Your shelter is gen- erally carried in the pack upon your back in the form of a tent of the “dog” or shelter type. Then comes the question of where to pitch tin tent. This, like a great many things, nowadays is already taken care of for you, as there are hundreds up- on hundreds of free camping sites, which, as the signs read, are kept by Chambers of Commerce. States, Cities. Counties, vil- lages, gasoline stations and country gro- cery stores. These sites are generally excellent places to spend the night for they are kept very neat and fire wood and other supplies are furnished free. An attendant is also given free so you can spend a pleasant evening trying to think up a bigger yarn than he can. and about midnight you will decide it is impossible and go to bed. These attendants you will find can tell you almost anything includ- ing wrong directions. But even the auto-hiker, with his en- joyable means of travel, tires of the con- tinued new sights and longs to see the old home town once more and eagerly counts the miles of his return journey. As he begins occasionally to catch sight of some familiar object his heart quickens and he realizes that he is nearing home. Home, they say. is dearest when farthest away, but it is a mightv dear place to see after a vacation of s e?ping on rocks, thistles and the hard old Earth, and after eating a col- lection of restaurant and camp meals. Mother has been warned in her last letters that her wandering hoy is on his way to in- vade her pantry and she has stocked her shelves till they are sagging under the strain. After the home coming, conies the best part of the trip, the recalling and telling and retelling the incidents of your trip. It is most strange how quickly the unpleasant side of the trip vanishes and how the good side lingers. I believe you convince your- self that you have had a good time by tell- ing others that you did. Milton B. Pln.nett. 30
