The chief item in this game of mo-
tor-camping is the shelteib—our port-
able house. It must have several
qualifications. First. it must be proof
against rain. mildew. and the ele—
ments. Any tent that rests upon the
ground should have a floor cloth. pre-
ferably a sewed—in one. This simple
thing keeps insects and crawling
things out makes a good floor to step
upon and prevents moSsture from
coming up through the ground to
the beds.
A. well-built mosquito netting is
an absolute necessity for summer.
This doesn't mean any old piece of
netting thrown over the tent on-
trance. but a close-mesh material so
attached to the tent that small poets
cannot get in. Most of the tent
makers supply thcse things. built to
fit their own tents.
Many Good Types
The material for the shelter may
be duck. sail drill. balloon silk or
some or the special rubrics. Duck
comes in many weights but the
medium one will probably answer
all purposes very well. \Vhatevei
material is used, the main {actor 13
its proof against rain. its toughness
and thorough construction. A poor-
ly stitched tent will as to pieces re-
gardless ot the quality of its cloth.
Nearly all tents made for the pur-
pose of auto-camping are built to
attach to the car in some way. gen:

poses and. it the flap is long enough.
makes an additional room between
the car and the tent. These tents
are generally built on the Baker de-
sign which in shape resembles a
lean-to. high in front. sloping down
in the rear. The umbrella or prya-
mid tent is fast growing popular.
owing to its good head room and
neat lines. There are tents made to
go without poles and some of these
are good. But sectional poles are
not bulky and make the shelter once
up quite rigid and wind-proof.
For thou: who can oxford it. a.
built—on camping body is a delight
which. of course. does away with
earring anything on running board or
racks. These complete bodies contain
beds, shelter and all equipment and

About Trailer;

on body. Undoubtedly its use makes
the car more comfortable for driving
as every needtul thing can be car-
ried in the trailer. It can be set up
quickly and with little trouble. Once
up, it is perhaps the most cons-

‘ Many object to the trailer, on ac»
count. of its extra. weight, usually
around 800 pounds. and the difficulty
of manoeuvering it in tight quarters.
Despite this opinion, thousands at
campers use them and would not
change them for any other type or
outfit. A good trailer can be bought
{or about $300. A built-on body.
fully equipped, costs in the vicinity
of $200 more than a trailer.
