encouraged by the developments Of the
past week.

sists in reaching the owners of single car
rlageS. We have tried to communicate with
each one by letter. but we have no means
OF compiling any such complete list So a
great many Washingtonian Automobiles
have not been asked to co-operate Now
we are especially anxious that every pri-
Vate carriage in the city shall be in line
1t should make difference whether the
owner does or does not get a copy of our
circular letter. If he does not get it the
reason is simply that we have not learned
his name and address Furthermore deco
ration is not necessity to participation in
tie parade. 1t is desired that the carriages
shall be decorated, but it is not essential
| we shall offer DriZpS he hop
somely decorated vehicles, and we have
| every reason to expect that many will be
beautifully adorned with flowers and au-
tumn leaves. But such decoration is not
at all necessary
"A sufficient number of carriages will
be In line to make the parade a success.

success we want it to be unless the in
dividual automobile owners all join with
