among tourists the fact is remarked 
that other things being equal, the 
chance acquaintances thus made along 
the line of makes of cars driven are apt 
to be congenial. 
One thing that proves difficult to 
overcome, however, is the fact that 
when several cars run together, if one 
or two are making time, running on 
long schedules, the others are sure to be 
more or less nagged, to make them 
keep up. An impatient woman may 
run a whole crowd off their tires, and 
spoil hundreds of miles of beautiful 
running merely because she insists on 
so many miles a day—toward home, or 
a daughter’s baby, or just out of pure 
cussedness. A man of impatient, bully¬ 
ing, bossy type may quietly herd every¬ 
body into his own idea of touring. Far 
out in lonesome country, a tourist may 
put up with these vexing things merely 
for sake of having company. Some 
people like to have their schedules 
made, their miles urged, their camps 
picked for them. It is best, however, 
to go alone rather than give up any 
essential feature of one’s own plans. 
The exception would be, of course, 
people so congenial and interesting 
that they are worth staying with, even 
at some sacrifice. This is one of the 
genuine touring problems, and worth 
thinking about, as the old timer, even, 
sometimes is bullied without knowing 
it, into doing what detracts from his 
own and family’s pleasure. 
The chance meetings of the camp 
grounds, perhaps continued day after 
day, or missed for a few days and re¬ 
newed hundreds of miles distant, are 
often among the most interesting, the 
most valuable, and the most memor¬ 
able of a tour’s rewards. We do not 
always know the names, but the faces 
are not forgotten. Perhaps a wave of 
the hand and a smile in passing is re¬ 
called again and again when the very 
day and the year are lost to the recol¬ 
lection. If we sit around a camp fire, 
a stranger may speak; his remarks 
may echo for years in the mind; per¬ 
haps he never said a wise thing before, 
or more likely he is some great person¬ 
age, a forwarder of the better ideals of 
life. 
Certain it is that great people are 
abroad in their automobiles. One can¬ 
not ignore them. One would better 
keep watch, lest he miss a view of 
some great author, as the one who 
wrote Main Street, or some philosopher, 
or professor, or other great man. A 
stroll the length of a tourists’ camp 
ground may take one past such figures 
as Caliph of Bagdad never dreamed of 
—kinder and greater people, on larger 
affairs than discovering at what a king¬ 
dom’s subjects busy themselves.
