In an article in the current month's number of "Motor Cycling" (Australia) it is suggested that the motor cycle clubs of Australia might offer a prize for the best design for an improved suit of overalls for the riders, holding that the available over alls are "cumbersome, without shape, and the wearer resembles a sort of cross-breed between the Esquimaux and' a golfer; in summer-time he looks like a bag of cMhes, and in winter he struggles with a heavy cum bersome suit, requiring an effort to; get into; the leggings are shaped like j drainpipes, while few perfect fits are available." The pape* draws attention to the aviator's costumi-, which is declared to be both neat and picturesque, and that some genius with an eye for something better than is now offered should evolve a costume for a motor cyclist which will enable him to appear in public with some feelings of decency. Attention is also drawn to the need for a log-shield fitted to the motor-cycle as part of Its equipment.
