PLAN RECEPTION FOR SCOUTS
AUToMOBILISTs TO MEET THE
CARS FROM ATLANTA.
Securing Data for Good Roads En-.
durance Contest Next Fall.
Due This Week.

Many Of the prominent automobile firms
Of this city have received with favor the
suggestion Of big reception for the
scout cars in the New York Herald-At-
lanta Journal good roads endurance con-
test, which will pass through the Ma
tional Capital probably early this week in
their search for the best route for the
race. which will be held next fall
Washington motor enthusiasts are espe-
cially interested in the development of
the roads between here and Richmond.
The scout cars-a White steamer and an
Oldsmobile-and the pathfinder cars,
which will make the trip from New York
to Atlanta and back later in the sum
mer, are expected to contribute valuable
information as to the roads adjacent TO
Washington and throughout Virginia.
To Escort the Scouts.
The idea. as yet tentative, is that the
automobiIsts interested should meet the
scouts at point outside the city and
escort them in. Many of the southern
representatives and senators are inter
ested and will be invited to participate e
in the reception. The date of the scout
cars arrival is dependent almost wholly
on the condition of the roads. The scouts
make effort to cover great distance.
but contine themselves to careful study
of the roads, which are carefully re-
corded for the benefit of the contestants
IN the endurance contest.
The Southern Commercial Congress is
particularly concerned in the movement,
and through its secretary. q. Grcsvenor
Dave has urged all persons in sym
pathy with the new south" to turn out
and give the cause of good reads a
boost by welcoming the travel-stained

Cement Houses.

From the Hartford Post.
Several years ago Mr.. Edison said 1t
would be possible to build a complsfe
house by a single operation, namely. pouf-
ing cement into a mold and alIowinsxar
to cool and harden into concrete
The remark passed a vagary of Tie
inventor. But Edison has studied and ex-
perimented with cement and has never
lost sight cf the idea. He is going II
make trial with mods, and expects L.
construct a house in fortnight Given
the molds, the cost of concrete house
would be not more than 10 per cent Of tile
cost OF d regularly built house Neces-
sarily. though. if the Edison idea is car
riel cut, the houses built will be all OF
an ordinary character.
4 dwelling of any pretensicns could not
be made. except in some of is par s. by
the mold process and then. If we are To
have mold-made houses, the question
obtrudes itself. what will become CT
architectural art? For there cannot be a )
much in such a house as there is in
plaster-or-paris figure.
There is enough. however. in the Edi-
son idea to give some concern to the
building trades. Concrete houses. turned
out at single operation, will diminish
the opportunities for the employment of
labor i'm building construction. 1t will
save building cost and save the con-
sumption of wood and iron. but at the
expense of the wage-earner and the
trades.

How Saue Made Money.
.r. in Leslie,s Weekly.

Jasper, in Leslies Weekly.
 In a long experience with Wall street affairs I have seldom known of a plunger who in the end has come out success fully, while I have quite as seldom known of any conservative, careful, cautious in vestor who has not made money. Flung CTS make quick turns, and lose as quickly as they make. The investor with his stocks paid for and put away, no matter what price he may have been tempted to pay, has only to wait patiently through the stress of panic until the returns of prosperity to find the losses recouped and the profit on his side. This is the plan that has made the great men of Wall street successful. It was the plan of my old friend, Russell Sage, who boasted to me that he had never sold @ stock at @ loss. In one instance he recited he had been carrying the Pacific stocks from al- most nothing to the day when they began to move upward, and was rejoicing over the handsome profit he had finally made by selling while a boom was on. It is well for my readers to follow the methods of the men who succeed. Let them leave the spectators and gamblers to the ten- der mercies of the tipsters. The good old adage reads. "IIitch your chariot to a
 star"
