and a sturdy Stevens rifle 
Knocking over a skunk, keeling over 
a rabbit, or bringing down a red 
squirrel—doesn’t make any differ¬ 
ence. If you’re holding aStevens and 
sighting straight, you’ve got your 
game every shot. 
For a Stevens is always accurate. 
When a Stevens barrel is bored or 
drilled, the final cutting removes less 
than one-half of a thousandth of 
an inch. It’s slow, painstaking work 
—but when finished there’s not a 
flaw — that Stevens barrel is ac¬ 
curate. 
The finish put on Stevens rifles 
and shotguns is exceptionally fine. 
From butt-plate to muzzle nothing 
has been left undone to make every 
Stevens firearm thoroughly good- 
looking and durable. 
Take for example the latest 
Stevens double-barrel hammerless 
shotgun—the Model 330: 
The barrel, high-pressure com¬ 
pressed steel—blued—a beauty. Case- 
hardened frame with splendid lasting 
polish. And stock, selected black wal¬ 
nut—finely checkered—with pistol 
grip. A knockout—and the same fine 
finish throughout the Stevens line. 
Finally—the price. Little short 
of amazing are the Stevens prices. 
This 330, for instance, costs you only 
$27.50. And all down the Stevens 
line the same low prices.

The cooking stove may be built into 
the side or rear of the car. The better 
way is to build the stove table into the 
car, but have the stove easily remov¬ 
able, so that it can be set up in plea¬ 
sant outdoor surroundings on occasion. 
Smoke from gasoline, fumes from the 
flames, oil smudges, must all be drained 
into the outdoors by draft pipe, and 
this pipe should not admit rain or wind 
—should be clear of the side of the 
car, too. Metal sheets and asbestos 
may save a car from destruction by 
fireproof against flames all around the 
stove is advisable. 
Fuel for the stoves would better be 
carried in separate cans—leak and slop- 
proof gasoline or kerosene containers, 
in their own locker. Draining one’s 
power tank for cooking is bad practice. 
A small wood stove is a feasible, even 
desirable cabin-car heater in rough 
weather. A handfull of sticks will 
heat almost any cabin car comfortably, 
in any weather. 
Nothing can be left loose in a cabin 
car. The jouncing an automobile goes 
through is incredibly vigorous over 
rough highways. The table, or tables 
may let down from the side of the car, 
like a sleeping-car berth, or it may 
be a folding-table, that rests when on 
the go, in a slot behind bars. Chairs 
for dining, camp stools or folding 
chairs, must be fastened, or barred 
fast. 
The table ware, cooking utensils, and 
kitchen things must be stowed for each 
ride. A few loose kettles, plates and 
cans make when in motion a most vig¬ 
orous protest against their treatment. 
All carriers of milk, molasses, and the 
like must clip or fasten into niches, 
and have tight tops against slopping. 
The left-over food-stuffs must be car¬ 
ried in closed, dust-proof and practi¬ 
cally air-tight pails, or other contain¬ 
ers with clip-down covers. Friction-top 
carriers, under the pound of jumping 
potatoes or meats, will often fly off, 
unless very tightly held. 
In a house-car, with lockers along 
both sides of the room, and enclosed 
shelves, on the sides, will carry bed¬ 
ding, suitcases of clothes, food supplies, 
and all the equipment of the outfit, 
from ammunition to the trip supply of 
hooks and magazines. But the weight 
must be kept down, the center of grav¬ 
ity must be made as low as possible. 
If the car is improperly loaded, a 
good many different difficulties will be 
had. If the load is too high, the car 
will be hard to steer. If it is not evenly 
distributed, the car will tip, and this 
makes steering difficult. Often, hard 
steering is due to a few pounds too 
much weight on one side, or the other. 
Cabin cars are notoriously difficult to 
stow well. Twenty pounds more on one 
side than the other will give a slant 
to the equipment, if the springs are
