DELIGHTED WITH
EASTERN ROADS
MAURICE L. RoTHsCHILD COM
PLETEs A 2,5o0-MILE AUTO TOUR.
Went Way Down East and Penetrated
the Inner Recesses Of Yankeedom in
His Big Mercedes Car-Outing De-
clared to Be a Delightful One-No
Accidents

Maurice L. Rothschild of the Palace
Clothing company, returned TINS morn
ing from a vacation tour OF the New
England states. While in the east Mr..
Rothschild covered distance OF $500
miles in his big Mercedes car, at an av-
erage speed of twenty miles an hour
without accident or breakdown Of any
kind, except two tire punctures. j.. =
I wish the people around here could
see the roads we passed over,' said Mr.
Rothschild, "thcy We're magnificent. J.
have toured Europe with my car, but |
have nowhere encountered roads equal
to those we found on Long Island, even
in the unsettled parts, and all thru
Massachusetts,. ...- ..
"They have a system of state roads
in Massachusetts which we ought to
have here. In every county, almost in
every township, the state builds mile
or so of splendid macadamized road and
the people after seeing how it is done
and enjoying the benefits of a piece of
really good road are not long in making
all the roads in their districts just as
good. In New York they have a toll
road system, which is not at all bad. -
Oar on Raft.
Mr.. Rothschild shipped his car from
Minneapolis to New York. From there
he first went to Long Island. At Sag
Harbor the car was placed on a raft
and towed behind a sailboat six miles
to Shelter Island.
After traversing Long Island the
party went thru Jersey, then to New
York again and to the Berkshire Hills.
After a stop at Saratoga the car was
again turned toward New York.
A twelve-hour run took the party
from New York to Boston over the old
"Boston post road.'' From Boston to
Portsmouth, n. H, arriving the day the
peace agreement was announced, was
the next move. From Portsmouth the
car was headed out on the Glidden trail
thru the White mountains, where the
Mercedes, with its 1920 horse power
French standard and equivalent to &C
American, easily negotiated all kinds OF
grades, some of them three miles IL
length, and carried it's party thru q
wonderfully picturesque country.
Good Roads Everywhere.
From the White mountains the
Rothschilds toured Massachusetts, Wis
iting the points Of historic interest and
the great industrial centers. Return
ing to New York the car was shipped
to Chicago, where Mr.. Rothschild goes
as soon as the roads dry out, to meet
his wife and complete the tour by 6
run from Chicago to Minneapolis.
In summing up his impressions OF
the east, Mr.. Rothschild said: "There
you see scenery which for wildness anc
beauty is not surpassed anywhere il
the world, you pass thru primeval for
ests and rugged mountains-and al
ways over good roads. -

TREES FoR cry PLANTING

A friend wishes to set out about a
dozen shade and ornamental trees on
the somewhat limited space around his
city home and wishes we would tell
him What varieties to select. AS he
lives Ill Il north central town, he must
have some regard to the matter of Iati-
tude in his selection. The American
elm is justly rated as one of the best
of trees for city conditions, though we
find 1t will not endure the effect of coal
smoke as well as the hard maple, the
Eastwood or linden or the sycamore.
If one has a clay soil the hard maple
is the best of all shade trees, whether
in town or country, for there is sym
metry Of habit, a richness and profuse-
ness of foliage, which no other tree de-
velops. Besides, its autumnal splendor
CT coloring eclipses that of any other
tree. The catalpa looks well a little
while. leaves out late in the spring and
drops its leaves first of any tree in the
fall. The common black cherry makes
an admirable tree for a city lawn,
While if one can secure a bur oak he
has tree which is proof against all
the adverse conditions of city life A
Colorado blue spruce Will be found a
very attractive and beautiful tree if an
evergreen is desired. We think that we
would suggest that elms be selected
for setting in the street in front and
some of the other trees named for the
inside grounds. In our own case we
some years ago adopted the plan of
using largely fruit trees for lawn and
home lot planting. with the result that
we now have plenty of shade and fruit
also.
