one-half horsepower, air-cooled gaso-
line motor. The operator of these
unique little engines demonstrated that
they could carry him at a rate of thir-
dy miles an hour. During the expert
ment he had strapped about his waist
"a tank containing enough gasoline to
carry him forty-f1ve miles. The French
army officials are developing the idea
of using motors for dragging long trains
of supplies for the compissary. and
the officials of Paris expect soon to
do away with horses by substituting
motor fire engines.
The evolution of the automobile from
a pleasure vehicle to one of utility is
proving very similar to that of the
bicycle. except that it is destined to
play a much greater part in furthering
the interests of civilization. When the
bicycle first came out it was such a
novelty and cost so much that it
was used principally as pastime by
xeople of wealth, but its cost was
speedily reduced until the masses were
able to take it up and profit by Its
use in going to and from their work
The French people were the first to
realize the possibilities of the auto
mobile, and are the pioneers in apply
ing il to practical use. Great diff
culties had to be overcome in
developing a machine that would not
be too expensive. and which could be
depended upon. a motor car is put to

DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUTO IN FRANCE
Motor Wagons for All
Sorts of Novel,
Purposes.

PARASITIC French people are do
the automobile. The visitor to Paris
is simply amazed by the evidences of
progress which he beholds in this re-
spect. He sees the postmen whizzjng
by in auto mail wagons, thus shorten
ing the time of delivery to all parts
of the city by several hours: he sees
auto street sprinklers at work laying
the dust and marvels at the accuracy
and speed attained by their use: he
sees immense auto drays hauling dirt
from excavations and removing gar
bage with a dispatch that would be
impossible with any other kind of loco
and auto vegetable vans spinning in
from distances in the country which
would not be accessible to any other
vehicle
And the saving in time between city
and country works both ways. He sees
auto delivery wagons rushing news
papers and packages of goods into
remote sections that were formerly cut
off from the metropolis on account of
their distance. The street cars and
railways tap the surrounding country
by straight lines, but the automobile
works the territory thoroughly. The
doctor can reach his country patients
in a jiffy. and the business man can
go miles to join his family on their
outing in little more time than it
formerly took hin. to traverse as many
city blocks on the street car.
ODD USES FOR AUTOMOBILES
The ingenuity of the French people
is strikingly manifested in the odd
uses they are finding for the automo-
bile. Not long ago the various gov
ernments were surprised when they
learned that monster armored war
automobile equipped with one hundred
and twenty horsepower, had been Sc
cretly built for the French government.
This unique vehicle was constructed in
such manner that it could traverse
fields and cross bitches, and carried
two rapid fire guns. Another surprise
was the invention of a pair of motor
skates, each of which was in reality
a tiny automobile weighing about thir-
ty pounds, equipped with one and

treatment and the tourists who travel
through France in automobiles have
devised similar system to post each
other. For instance, If the authorities
in q certain locality are disposed to
be discriminating, or the merchants
exorbitant in their charges for sup
plies, the fact is made known to other
automobilists by scattering colored
confetti along the roadside. A regular
code has been formed which no one
but the tourists can understand.
1t is estimated that every pleasant
day during the summer there are at
least four thousand visiting automo-
bilists moving across France in one
direction or another. 1t is claimed
that at least one-third of these are
Americans who would not take their
outing among a people whose language
they can not speak, We're it not for
the fact that they have to go abroad
for roads because there are SO few
good ones at home. The advantage
Europeans have over Americans in the
matter of roads may be shown by the

road builders. and they We're quick to
realize the fact that a smooth, even
road-bed would greatly facilitate the
operation of the auto and preserve it
from damage Consequently they have
elaborated upon the fine system Of
roads inaugurated by Napoleon. IN
stead of dividing their country into
forty-five or fifty independent states,
each with separate law like ours,
national organization was perfected
and a common law made for all. An
automobiles who desired to traverse
the United States, if our roads were
good enough to make such a trip pos
sible, would have to fam1liarize him
self with the various laws of all the
states and territories, and his ma
chine would be literally plastered with
the numbers of the various licenses he
would have to obtain.
In France the Association Generate
Automobile, and the Automobile Club
of France, have smoothed the way for
the tourist by authorizing system
of signal boards which have been
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-08-19

erected along every road in the entire
country. These tourist directions in
cllde information about the character
of the roads and the directions to
take in order to reach certain desti-
nations. The location of hills is indi-
Gated in advance in order that the
chauffeur may be on the lookout for
them. The admirable foresight of the
French people is shown by the fact
that their code of signals for auto
n1obilists is SO arranged that they may
ne readily understood by even those
who are unfamiliar with the French
language.

statement that from Madrid in latitude
forty. to Norway in latitude sixty
four, a distance of $500 miles, there is
an unbroken stretch of fine highways,
while in our country it would be ex-
tremely difficult to find hundred
miles of really first-class road in one
continuous stretch.
FRANCE REAPS A HARVEST
The advantage that France reaps
from this annual invasion of pleasure
seekers is almost beyond calculation.
In one way or another the automobile
industry claims the whole time of hun
dreds of thousands Of the French peo-
pie. Incidentally it helps those en-
ployed in the manufacture of the basic
materials used in the construction of
automobiles, such'as artisans in brass,

TOday's Telegraphic News
Alleged Plot of the Malta.

New Orleans, Dec. pa plot Of the
Malta, which has been working secretly
10 New Orleans for years, is regarded IS
being responsible for the deaths of six
Italians who we're found murdered early
TO-DAY in tenement house in Dumane.
Several of the men had been burned to
death.
Such panic has been created among
Italians as result of the discovery that
it was necessary to send every reserve
policeman in the city to the tenement
house. Even then there was 30 much
excitement that the officers could not
cope with the situation and 6remen were
ordered out.
The murders are believed to have
been committed during the early part OF
the nip hit, and there is every indication
that they were carefully planned. As no
screams from the victims wers heard, 1t
is believed many men participated in the
slaughter aud all the victims we're struck
down at the same time. Their bodies
we're literally hacked TO pieces. Those
which were burned were probably set on
FIRE after the murders had been COM
mitted.
So far the police have been unable to
secure o clue to the perpetrators. The
Italians of the quarter are all 80 badly
frightened that it is useless to question
them.
The greatest fear prevails that the out
break OF the dread secret society is not
over and that additional murders may
follow.
