The Maier is THE pipe that has become famous for its aluminum

making about the same mileage per day. 
This mileage is somewhere between 
eighty and a hundred miles. Some do 
the distance in eight hours, some in ten 
hours. When cars have met two or 
three times in a camp ground, acquain¬ 
tances are struck up. When the western 
country is reached, and deserts and 
mountain ranges must be crossed, the 
cars travel in pairs, or even trains, and 
then speed is varied to keep all together, 
one behind the other but far enough 
apart not to have to eat the dust. These 
comradeships of the highway are Sur¬ 
prising to those unused to them. The 
easterners, especially, have to learn the 
mutual protection and safety from arid 
land jeopardies, where houses are fifty 
miles apart and it may be two hundred 
miles between garages. 
Any daily program must be left open, 
subject to the conditions. Any car trou¬ 
ble, delay, unexpectedly fast driving 
(good road), or poor roads will upset 
plans. Trying to adhere to plans in such 
circumstances is simply folly. I have ex¬ 
pected to make a town by noon or a lit¬ 
tle later and found myself three days in 
going to the place. On the other hand, 
I have occasionally passed a town at 
noon when I did not anticipate reaching 
it before the following day, or even 
later. 
By having no set ideas or intentions, 
on the average I find I have done far 
more with my car than we ever believed 
we could. 
C URIOUSLY enough, having a set 
program will lead to long delays in 
the aggregate. Consider, for example, 
an inflexible schedule from New York 
to Chicago, or the Mississippi river, giv¬ 
ing a daily average of 150 miles. A fair 
driver is almost sure to overrun his day's 
expectations. He will stop an hour 
sooner in the day than needful; he will 
lose by this hour from twenty to thirty 
miles; in a week he has lost 150 miles, 
and perhaps 200 or 250 miles. This was 
our experience west of Chatauqua Lake 
in New York. Figuring on seventy or 
eighty miles a day we reached Denver 
on a Mississippi river estimate. 
Having set ideas with regard to any 
feature of the trip may lead to embarass- 
ment and disappointment. We traveled 
with a New England house-car outfit, 
Coast bound from Portsmouth, N. H., 
who insisted that camp grounds, to he 
available, must have shade, water and 
other conveniences. Despite the house- 
car, there was no provision for carrying 
a water supply in it. Consider theii 
amazement in western Nebraska anc 
across Colorado, to the Rockies, anc 
from the Rockies into the Colorado state 
and Utah deserts! No shade but alkal 
openness extending to the horizon 
They stared at the Rockies and with de 
lightful loyalty remarked that these bare 
heights could not compare in real beaut] 
with their own dear Mt. Washington. 
The personal equation must determini 
the meeting of the conditions inevitabl' 
in touring. One sees tourists enjoyinj 
the most incredible difficulties. We saw 
in Omaha, a five-passenger fliver com' 
into the park with eight people on board 
Forest and Stream. It will identify you.
