MOTORING SUPPLEMENT. SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1926.

With the majority of golfors the motor car is à perpetual topic of conversation. I was sitting alone in the club-house.the other day and th à constant mention by those around me of such mattors jas closed todios guar-changing, balloon tyre, fourwheel brukos, Rolls-Royce, Morris Oxfords, and so forth, left no doubt in fono's mind--not that there was previously any doubt-motoring is an all-absorbing subject,"aven to those assembled for another purpose.

To the golfer the motor car is & pricëlose assot and it has been the mouns of popularizing the game enormously.. Not only does itmiku ilings easy for the golfer who plays chiefly at home, but it gives him a wide choice in his "home" links. Furthermore, the motorcar has oponed up e now phase of gölf-that of visit- ing other courses on a big scale. This is not merely a highly pleasurable undertaking-some say it in the greatest golfing-joy of all-but it assists tho many pla ors whoso aim and ambition it is to perform battar.

There is no training quite like that provided hy constant changes in the conditions. Wo the inexperienced the strange course may be irksome, but once he overcomes that feeling it is, the means whereby he may be come a better and more resource- ful performer. It is motoring that has made this possible, for one may easily spend half a day in getting to a course which, with the aid of a car, can e re ached well within the hour.

Motorists who fail to stop at railroad crossings are not only endangering their own lives but those, of railroad pssongers. Here is what happened near Sap Jos, Calif., when the automobile of John and Frank Koster was hit by a fast mail train. The locomotive and two cars wore. derailed. The motorists were killed.

A NEW PARKING PROBLEM. That the opinion of the majori y is in harmony with this line of argument is perfectly evident from the increasing num. ber of cars to be observed at golf courses every year. Indoo*, the crush has become so groat that! practically every club has bean compelled to enlarge its perking space very considerably. At some places the whole system is carried out in most businesslike. manner, with an official in at tendance. otherwise it would take hours to get away.

This reminds me of another ad- vantage in driving to the links, namely, that the player can go home to lunch-à point which ofton has its avantages. Thore is the social and domestic side, leaving the scene of action, many of us realize that a change of thought is a good thing, so, in- stoad of sitting in the club-house between the rounds, saturated, as it were, with golf gossip, we like to forget about the game for an hour or so. Personally, I am firmly convinced that we return to it mentally and bodily fresher when adopting this plan, and I can therefore, confidently TO- commend to all golfing motorists.

Explorers Use This Car Because It Is Dependable

Pioneers and explorers, whose lives depend upon the reliability of the trans- portation they use, employ Dodge Brothers Motor Cars almost exclusively.

Stefansson used Dodge Brothers Cars through the uncharted deserts of Central Austral. Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews, on three different occasions, penetrated the innermost wastes of Mongolia in a Dodge Brothers Car. -

The car's dependability is proverbial; and its exceptional riding comfort permits long travel over bad roads without fatigue.
