To be sure, the total output of 'au- tomobiles at present is so astounding that the number of cars equipped wire wheels is rather dwarfed n comparison, however, when one | examines the statistics of wire wheel to | and | | with wire wheels | has probably added is perforated and behind it are num- | be | roduetion it is apparent that a dis- inct wire wheel boom is under way nd rapidly gaining momentum. It is estimated that at the end of 1916 there were in the United States not more than 10,000 cars equipped The 1916 season 50,000 or even 60,000 cars to this class, a sheer gain of-600 per cent. With that spectacu- lar increase in mind it is not difficult to credit well-informed automobile men who predict that 1917 will see 200,000 new cars put on wire wheels. Aside from the popularity of these cars on account of their handsome appearance, they have received an impetus from the scarcity of hickory of the best quality and from the pat- ent litigation which has vexed the demountable rim makers. ---- Women Motorwise. PAGE SEVENTEEN More than enough-- You will never have to use all the power your Gray-Dort can give you. We have not found a hill steep enough or sand deep enough to hold her. Are you in a hurry--she has speed far beyond the limits of the law or ordinary daring. Do you wish to tra- vel rough, poor roads--they will never trouble the. even song of her motor. For city driving she throt- tles down to a surprisingly low speed on high. She takes hills at any speed you want on any gear. And for all this power and speed her motor is light, compact, economical---thrifty of gasoline and wonderfully lacking in. repair-bills. Gray Dort $945 Comfort and Beauty Note the lines of the Gray-Dort -- a true yacht-line body, embodying the ideas of the finest motor-car builders. Her ap- pearance will be a source of pride to you.

OTTAWA. ALGONQUIN PARK. The Real Highway to Health and Happiness. No better place could be dev sed for a real holiday for red blooded men and women than Algonquin Park, situated -about 200 miles | north of the City of Toronto. It is | an unspoiled territory of nearly two I million acres, starred with beauti Jul lakes and intersected by wind- ing streams. No reserve in Canada | can approach it in the wealth of at- , tractions it offers to the lover of out-of-doors. Away up in the Highlands of On- tario, two thousand feet above the | level of the sea, the park is a | Sonderrul spot in which to renew | the energies of a tired body or re- fresh a wearied spirit. Its tonic air | filters through hundreds of square | miles of pine, balsam and spruce; the days are unusually long, with brged sunshine, while the cool { evénings are a time of enchantment. | The park is a paradise for the fish- {erman and canoeist; the excellence "of its sports draws anglers from every part of.the Dominion and from every state in the Union, while 'the canoeist can travel for hundreds of miles in his light craft, and he is a veritable kingdom of his own. The accommodation in the park is such that the most varied tastes can be pleased. There are hotels for those who want to be in the wilder- ness--yet, enjoy all the comforts that good service and social com- panionship can bring; there are groups of log camps, furnished and ideal for family part- jes, with central lodges containing recreation and dining rooms where you may dine and find everything ready for you on your return from the tramp; or if you have planned to camp under your OWN Canvas, you may step into a canoe at one of the little railway stations and after a short paddle find a site ummarred by the hand of man, yet within easy reach of the park outfitting stores. Many families now go into the park expressly for the camping, making their headquarters at the Motels long enough to get supplies and camping outfit ready for the trip. Then in canoes, and with guides or without them, they launch out into the deep woods, camping where fancy prompts. A handsome illustrated publica- tion telling you all about this fam- ous park is issued by the Grand * | Trunk Railway, and a copy can be | had free on application to J.
