All Of the discussion about the American
Automobile Association Is going to
amount to something. after all, for the
officials Of the A. A. A. believe that some
thing should be done to stop THE Knock
ers," as they are sometimes called. nj
though, In fact, critics anxious to see the
A. A. A, come to its proper place in the
automobile world. The critics are honest
In their belief that the doings of the or
ganization must be made known to the
men who pat up the taxation by which
the organization Is able to operate. and
who claim that they receive no represen-
tation. At the automobile shows the Of
1cials of the A. A. A. met men who had
criticised them, and many an argument
arose. The critics stood by their guns TO
a man, and claim that in the not very dis
tant future many reforms In the organiza-

brought about.
Tom Moore tho main engineer of the
great international strinned stock touring
car race. which takes place April 16 next
over a forty-two mile course In West
chester County, is devoting his entire at
tention 10 the event. and will do little else
from now until spring. That the race will
be successful goes without saying, as
Robert 7, Morreu "a at the helm, and
Mr.. Morrell conducted one of the most
successful of the Vanderbilt cup races
on Long Island The manufacturers,
licensed indenendent md importers have
all spoken warmly in favor of the race,
and Mr. Moore acts for the makers With
a good course of forty-two miles and
distance of 500 miles. over which the cars
will be forced to show both speed and
entire reliability the contest should be
n grand one. During the automobile shows
Mr. Moore found much to his surprise,
that almost without exception the leading
makers would enter for the race and he
now believes that the original estimates
of seventy-five to eighty cars will not
be out of the run of reason when the
enxrles are finally closed Briarcliff Manor,
the Headquarters for the contest has al
ready become a point of interest in tour
ing. and large parties go there regularly.
