THE LATEST ABOUT AUTOMOBILES

The first stage OIL the New York to
New York Times and LIE Matin of
Paris, ended by the Thomas (Ameri-
cam car reaching Chicago on the
fourteenth day out from New York.
The four other cars were from 56 to
14S miles behind when the Thomas
car arrived at Chicago. The actual
running time of the Thomas car was
even days( one hour and fifty-four
minutes.
The difficulties and hardships of this
first stage of the journey are probably
only foretaste of what the automo-
bilists will encounter when they reach
Alaska and afterward Siberia. The
plan is to go to the Pacific Coast by
their own power, then by boat to
Alaska, through Alaska to Boring
Straits by boat to Siberia, and then
on to Paris. In this country they use
high power cars to break the road for
the racing cars-and sometimes horse
teams to haul both out of the snow
drifts. Just how they will manage IN
Alaska and Siberia remains to be seen.
There is a disposition to find fault
with the people of the country through
which the cars pass because the roads
are not better. The driVed of the
Thomas car is quoted as saying:
Il did not know before l came here
that all the snow of America was
deposited for the winter in Indiana,
but know it now. From o'clock on
Sunday morning, when we left New
Carlisle, until we arrived at Bendicl1

there is so much money and SO manv
men looking for work at this time.
ConVicts might be made to be of some
service to the country if they were put
to work building roads or keeping
them clear of snow in the winter. The
farmers do nothing. They simply
waited week for us to come along
and clear the tracks for them to go
about their business. He hired their
horses and paid them for the privilege
of doing their work"
The answer of the farmers tn this
would probably be that they were in
no great need of good roads during
the winter; that a road shoveled out
one day drifts full again the following
night; and that if the automobile peo-
pie wehe really in a hurry to get to
Chicago why not take the rail road
train, like other people? The auto
mobilists have undertaken a difficult
and entirely unnecessary task, for
their own tification-undertake it
because it is difficult, in order to show
that difficulties can be overcome, ana
they should not complain because 9TH
er people do not make it easy for
them. Still, that is the natural, the
human, way of looking at obstacles of
our own creation, and if the auto
mobilists do not get across the glariers
of Alaska and the snowy wastes OF
Siberia, it will be because no one has
broken a road for them. They will
undoubtedly do all that is possible
for men to do, and the record of their
courage, their endurance, and their
ingenuity in overcoming obstacles will
be the most valuable result of the
race.
