BIG HELP TO MOTORISTS.
Club VIII Publish List
of Hotels Al Orer the Country

The Automobile Club of America, which stands
foremost in everything 20 further the interests
Of the automobile owners and is the only organi-
zation in this country maintain touring de-
partment worthy of the name, has taken another
important step in the interest OF the automobile
tourist step along the line of that pursued by
the representative national foreign clubs.
The club through its bureau of tours erected
1,400 direction and danger signs during 1907,
issued numerous route cards and new maps, and
in general did a great amount of work for the
benefit of the motorists, It is proposed to
issue a list Of recommendabe hotels and garages
touring routes. Any hotel or garage which has
first class accommodations. and where the treat
ment accorded the travelling motorist justfes it.
may, after its application is favorabIy passed
upon by a special committee, receive official
appointment of the club. which appointment en-
titles the holder to display a specially designed
sign furnished by the club and which bears the
club name and emblem. An annual fee, graded
by the capacity of the appointee. will be
charged.
In adopting this plan of officially approving of
hotels and garages it is felt that those who avail
themselves of this privilege would not only di-
rectly benefit in obtaining the patronage of the
members of the club and the touring public at
large. but would indirectly. by thus contributing
10 the expenses of the bureau of tours, advance
the interests of the touring public. 1t be well
understood that it a large of money
maintain organization such there is in this
club, and that the issuing of route cards. maps,
bulletins and official books which, Of course, will
contain the names of the officially approved gar
ages hotels, and the placing Of signposts and
danger signs, require large amount Of work at
considerable expense. The development Of tour
ing routes and the information necessary for the
cards and maps places upon the club every year
a large increase of expense. and it is felt that
this development those who are interested in
tending the sphere would be glad to contribute.

GUNNERS BRAVE STORM.

financial panic nothing more than a tenn
porary stringency which seems have affected
public confidence merely to the extent of making
the buyer watch and wait for time. The begin
ming of the new year 1908 has opened very fa-
vorably for my company and have contracts on
hand which it will take months to fill for taxi
cabs and other models of the Dragon car
This statement was given out yesterday at the r.
NJ. Owen Company: Pursuant to the well defined
policy which laid out and announced earlier in
the season, and anticipating increasing demand
for REQ during November and December, the
REQ Motor Car Company has been building cars
without any halt embarrassment whatsoever.
We notified agents in advance of inten-
tions, and they in turn confident that they could
rely prompt deliveries, have been steadily order
ing cars, a result of which our November and
December deliveries have been much larger than in
previous year. II this policy proved successful
during November and December we see no reason
why it should not work out as favorably during
the remainder of this season.
1T is really amusing when 1 hear these pessi-
mstic rumors regarding the lessening of automo-
bile sales" said Benjamin Briscoe, chairman of
the committee OF management of the American
Motor Car Manufacturers Association Il pre-
sumo these rumors started by some irrespon-
sfble statesmen who have a few dollars temporarily
tied up in some small banking institution and be-
cause a few orders for automobiles have been
cancelled. l have yet to the time when more
or less orders have not been cancelled. Any sane
and broad minded individual who has studied the
situation knows that automobiles will always be
sold They have become necessity not entirely a
pleasure It has reached stage when the public
cannot do without them. Especially is this true
in the commercial line. Motor trucks and delivery
wagons cannot be turned out fast enough to meet
the demand"

Not Much News.

In the summer of 1903 an exploring expedition set out from Cook inlet Alaska, in an attempt to climb Mount Mckinley, the highest peak on the American continent. They went in with a pack of cayuses through hun dred miles of tundra and then strug- gled for weeks over glaciers and through terrible hardships, to emerge at last on the Chulitna river. down which they rafted to civilization, as represented by Cook inlet.
 As they came in. worn, ragged, al most dead from exposure and hunger, a tall old man strolled upshore with four white mems dogs, says Robert Dunn in The Shameless Diary of an Explorer" They asked him the news of the world.

VAUDEVILLE.

"The Pianophiends," the big musi- cal act in which Gus Kleinecke and a number of other musicians are sp- bearing at the Jacques this week is handsomely staged. The scene repre- sents a piano salesroom on Fifth ave- nue, New York. There are five pianos on the stage and the musicians play these simultaneously. MT Kleinecke is seen as the manager of the piano store. He arranged all the music for the act and also the dancing num- bers. A clever travesty on The Merry Widow" waltz is generously at each performance. The scenery is excellent and the costumes wore by the girls in the act are ella borate.. Miss Julie Ring appears in a new sketch by Ned Nye called "The Wrong Room" It is exception ally clever and is well played by Miss Ring and her company. George O. Nichols, formerly with Polls Own Stock company here, plays charac- ter part in the piece and makes a big hit. The supporting bill is strong and includes De Haven and Sidney, Elsa Van Der Voort, Johnny Johns the LeMaze Brothers and the How ards. Polls popular prices.

Appreciated the Beautiful.

That it is nSt always well to put on ones dowdiest garments when one goes to visit the poor is the moral of a story told in an English maga- zine recently. There were two phi lanthropists, according to the tale, one a professional and the other an anna teur. The professional had arranged to take the amateur to a gathering of slum dwellers in the east end of Lon don. At the appointed hour the anna teur, who happens to be a duchess and a great beauty, appeared at the house of her friend, dazzling apparition in court dress, tiara and jewels. "Oh, my dear" gasped the professional, falling helplessly into the nearest chair, don't you know that we are going to one of the lowest and most squalid slums? I cant promise that you will bring any of that back with you" But the beauty only laughed. That's all right" she said. q quite understand you. But poor people love beautiful things. Their children espe- cialy are captivated with fine dresses and feathers. Just wait and you will see." And the professional did see. Those poor, half starved, half naked slum dwellers had eyes for no one but the dazzling young beauty who had done them the infinite honor of coming to see them in her most beautiful frock and jewels.

Murdered by q Statue.

The death of kenith, the half myth ical king of Scotland, was one of the most curious and remarkable in his- tory, if 1t may be called a historical fact. It seems that Zenith had slain Cruthllntus. q son. and Malcolm Duff fus the king and brother of Fennella. She. to be revenged, caused Wiltus, the most ingenious artist of the time, to fashion a statue filled with automatic springs and levers. Finished and set up this brazen image was an adInira ble work of art. In it's right hand Wiltus placed ewer and in the left an apple of pure gold finely set with diamonds and other precious stones. To touch this apple was to court death. IL was So arranged that any one guilty of such vandalism would be immediately rid dled with arrows shot from loop holes in the statutes body. Zenith was invited to see the wonder and. kinglIke and just as Fennella hoped). tried to pluck the imitation fruit He was instantly riddled with poisoned ar rows. dying where he fell.
