HISTORY ENHANCES TRIP floutes Through the Eastern and Western Sections Great Rivals. With mountain scenery of tho most Varied type, possessing spots inter woven with Revolutionary and Civil War history, Pennsylvania offers to her motorists a wealth of automobile tours unsurpassed by any state. Four mighty rivers belong to Pennsylvania, and where there is a great river there is a ribbon of scenic beauty. Moreover, our state Is rich in sequestered valleys, many of them are isolated from the world and Inaccessible to any but mo torists. Amongst these are the quaint communities of tho Dutch and Shaker settlements. Pennsylvania Is Indeed the state of beautiful valleys. Let the automobll !st, standing at the threshold of his vacation, set forth in his car and dis cover his home land state. It makes little difference where he starts, or in what direction he goes, his course will traverse a natural park land. A grand tour, however, that will cir cumscribe roost sections of the state, and disclose every phase of the state's activity and development, and one that will link many historical spots, takes Pittsburgh and Philadelphia as its nat ural basic points. The motorist of Pennsylvania may connect with this grand tour at his nearest point and travel it in any direction he desires. Setting forth, let us say from Pitts burgh, the tourist travels south '.through the so-called "coke" district, Ibut which was as famous a region for travelers in the old stage-coach days. He passes through Washington, Waynesburg and, reaching Unlontown, turns north to Greensburg. From Greensburg he strikes east for Llgon ler, a territory rich in historical inter «st, the sice of an old fort and the acene of the early Indian fights. Two miles out of Ligonier is the home of General St. Claire, friend of the early colonists. ! From Ligonier the highway gradu ally ascends and the tourist passes through in the Westmoreland County 6tate Game Preserve. Further on he ■visits Bedford, an historical old town. At the foot of the valley lies McCon- Jiellsburg, the seat of Fulton County, the only county in the State of Penn sylvania that cannot boast of a mile of railroad. L Battlefield of Gettysburg The next objective point is Cham bersburg, where the Confederate Army Invaded the North. To the east lies the town of Gettysburg and Its fai nous battlefield. From Gettysburg the route goes east through the heart of the famous •Pennsylvania Dutch" country, a land of snugfc comfortable homes and large stables. Many structures here date back to the Revolutionary War. After a visit at Philadelphia, the route is continued north by wa/ of Allentown, or directly to Eaton. From Eaton the tour travels to the Delaware Water Gap, and the Poeono Lake and Pocono Mountains, the great Show places of Pennsylvania. From the Delaware Water Gap the tourist proceeds to Scranton and then Wilkes-Barre. From Wilkes-Barre the way strikes across the country to Eagles Mere, the summit of Sulllvau County, which is noted for having a lake on the top of a mountain. There ire no inlets to the lake; it Is fed by underground springs. From Eagles Mere good roads take the tourist to trilllamsport on the Susquehanna River.

Public Square, Educational Advantages of National Touring Week In view of its-new series Model 75-B and Its various other models especially adapted for country driving, the Willys- Overland Company, of Toledo, Ohio, has entered most enthusiastically into the preparations for national touring week from August 6 to 12. Its army of deal ers throughout the United States have taken hold of the suggestion for a natton-wlde week of touring with their customary vim and zeal and Overlandi owners everywhere are being furnish ed with all available touring Infor mation. "It's a splendid suggestion," said John N. Willys, head of the Willys-Overland Company, when the national touring Idea was mentioned to him several weeks ago. "This is Just the time to put such a plan Into effect, because it happens to be the most desirable sea son of the year for touring and because the country roads, as a rule, are in the best of condition during the months of August, September and October. In my oplnin, August is the Ideal month for motoring. During its hot and stuffy days, the automobile owners can make the most of their opportunities to get out In the country, oreathe clean air < and enjoy the cool rush of the breeze ae their cars carry them over the smooth public highways. "During August, the summer resorts which make suoh admirable stopping places for the touring motorist, are at the height of their popularity. In fact, most of the world seems to be playing —everyone appears to be on a vaca tion—and the man who does not own a car Is unfortunate, Indeed. "The Willys-Overland Company has long made the practice of paying great attention to automobile owners and buyers during the summer touring months. We had the requirements of the motor tourist In mind when we were working night and day a few weeks ago to get our new series Model 75-B. We wanted it to be available for the public when the publlo could get the greatest eatlsfaotlon and pleasure out of It, Consequently, the new model was placed on the market a few weeks ago, "Satisfied buyers, by scores, are complimenting us on the touring effi ciency of this New Series Model 75-B. Although it Is necessarily not a large car in frame work, because of its ex tremely low price, It Is so carefully constructed that It makes a most com fortable and practical car fop tourjnjj AUGUST 5, 1916. purposes. Cantilever springs and big: tires, deep upholstery and roomy seats, artistic lines and complete equipment are the points mainly responsible for its popularity as a comfortable tour ing vehicle. Furthermore, its 3X 1-2 horsepower motor is so well known for its durability, efficiency .and econ omy that the motorist has positive assurance • that the motive power will always be available and that he will reach his destination without mechani cal troubles. "But, getting back to the original subject of the discussion—national touring week. There are many things to be derived from the touring move ment besides pleasure. It will be a source of great education for many who heretofore have not had the opportun ity, to become acquainted with the in terior districts of their country; it will reveal to the American tourist, in many cases for the first time, the wonders of his native land which rank just as attractive and Interesting as those In foreign llelds, and, more Important, it will give the home dweller a chance to get out and meet his fellowman and get acquainted with his neighbors for miles around. It will broaden him in tellectually and better him for fight ing his own battles of life when he returns home: It is a great and ex cellent movement."
