SMALL CAR IS
WAKING INTEREST
RECENT PERFORMANCES ARE
FOCUSING ATTENTION
RUN OF MAXWELL JUNIOR DOES
MUCH GOOD
Actual Tests Prove That Small Cars
Have Their Part to Play and
Do 1t with Much
Credit .

The many thousands of possible pur-
chasers of low priced automobiles are
naturally interested in the performance
of the small cars which recently have
appeared on the American market.
Much favorable comment is heard just
now on the Maxwell Junior, the new
Maxwell model which made its debut
at the beginning of the present season
and has upheld the reputation of its
makers in a splendid manner. Only
short time ago one of these little $500
cars proved its mettle in a 2000-mile
nonstop run, which was Immediately
followed by a run from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg at a time when the roads
were not considered negotiable even for
high-powered automobiles. Now the
same little cars attract attention by
their notable performance in the recent
four day endurance run at Detroit and
in the Hartford endurance run. In both
of these runs the small Maxwell car
ried off the cup in its class. The mere
fact that this little $500 car is capable
of keeping it's pace with 30 and 40-horse
power competitors speaks exceedingly
well for the high state of efficiency at
which the automobile has arrived, and
incidentally augurs good things to the
man who has hitherto hesitated to pos
sess himself of a mechanical convey
ance.

Outside Cities Begin to Fully Appre-

Done by This Live
Organization

The Automobile Club of Southern
California is rapidly forging its way
to the fore as one of the strongest
motor organizations in the country
Recent advices from the seeretary's
Office say that 1O4 new members We're
added during the month of May, which
brings the total up to little over
HOO
AT a recent meeting of the board Of
directors. orders were approved for in
stalling road signs from Perris to Elsl-
more - Perris to Hemet - Hemet TO
Warmers Hot Springs and from Hem
ct to Redlands via San Jacinto. When
this is completed it will maize a total
of nearly 2500 miles of public high
ways marked by the clubs signs
The erection of these signs has been
a great boon to the automobiling fra
ternity and it is not an uncommon oc-
currence for some motorist returning
from a long trip over roads that have
been properly marked, to send in his
application for membership and eX-
press himself in something like these
words "Any organization that is do
ing such meritorious service in the in
terest of motoring should be support

connection with its magazine, where
chauffeurs applying for positions are
required to give references from four
employers, or parties who know their
records as drivers. Private inquiry
blanks are sent to each reference Civ
en-, some of which go as far as England
and Sweden, and no driver is recon-
mended until returns are received
and the club is in full possession of
his record. The club proposes to send
out only competent drivers and this
is already having "A good effect in min
imizing the amount of reckless driv-
ing.
That the motorists from the country
and smaller towns throughout South
ern California appreciate what the
club has done for them in the way
of securing better roads, is shown by
the increase in membership from out
side of Los Angeles. The enthusiasm
shown by the country was fully Demon
strated few days ago. when the sec
retary received word from Hemet. Cal,
to the effect that there were forty au-
tomobile owners in that vicinity who
desired to join the club and requesting
that a representative be sent there to
perfect arrangements for erecting the
signs above mentioned. This is only one
of many occurrences, and the executive
officers are enthusiastic over the pros
poets of reaching the 1000 membership
line by the end of the present year.
The m~tter of establishing a perma-
nent club headquarters is well under
way. and the directors are giving seri-
Gus attention to some important legis-
lative matters affecting the automo-
bile which will be brought to the atten-
tion of the next Legislature.

Better Roads Expected

How much better the tourists will
fare when the roads are hard and dry
than did the pathfinders is shown by
the fact that several times they took
four days to go over what will be a
one-day run for the tourists. The last
days run of the pathfinder was sixty
six miles from Topeka to Kansas City.
1t took nine and a half hours for the
run, whereas the trip has been made
in summer in three hours and twenty
four minutes, so good are the roads
when dry.
The last four days of the tour will
be the most interesting. according to
the experiences of the pathfinders.
Running along the foothills of the
Rockies, with Pixies Peak in view, they
saw three herds of antelope on their
second day out from Denver and later
a herd of elk was seen, besides a few
bears, and plenty of coyotes and prairie
dogs. Near Wilson, Kan, the path
finders had a terrible experience with
a spring freshet the baggage being
submerged with Dai Lewis records in
it. Lewis and Driver Neinzinger
stopped at a farm house. while r. w.
Spangler and W. A. Krohn waded into
Wilson.
At Kansas City. too. the citizens are
preparing to entertain the tourists
when they finish. The city has a fine
boulevard system of ffty-one miles and
$50 miles of macadam and tawed roads.

ACTUAL MILES
Journey viii Begin July II and End
at Kansas City July 20, with
Unusually Large Field
of Entries

NEW YORK, June 5.-As at present
projected @the 1909 Glidden tour will
cover about 2530 miles. starting from
Detroit July 12 and finishing at Kan
sas City July 20. This makes an
elapsed period of eighteen days for the
tour and fourteen running days When
the pathfnding party arrived at Kan
sas City on May 21, the odometer
showed a total of 1882 miles of rum
ning and Dai Lewis figures showed
about 1924 miles to be covered for the
tour, the pathfinding ear having been
driven about 200 miles more than re-
quired by the route. These figures for
the tour will be reduced about 100 miles
by changing the route so as to go from
Minneapolis to Fort Dodge and Omaha
by way of Mason City. instead of Man.
kato, as the pathfinder went.
Route Is Changed
The reasons for this changing of the
route are urgent, and it will be done
if the roads the other way are salts
factory. To go by way of Mankato
would mean that another day must be
added to the tour, and the start made
one day earlier, which would be sun
day, else the two days at Denver now
planned would have to be reduced to
one day From Denver the greatest
sightseeing of the tour is to be en-
joyed including trips to the Garden
of the Gods, the Grand Canyon and
other points. The Denver club has
raised a fund of $4,000 for the enter
tainment of the tourists, and to short
en- the stay there would cause great
disappointment Another good reason
for rerouting the ground between Min
neapolis and Omaha is that the route
as now laid to Fort Dodge by way of
Mankato and Blue Earth City being

A'A good roads enthusiast. While on
a recent Cuban trip Mi Firestone did
considerable touring with Messrs.
Frank Presbrey and James Couzens;
he speaks in the highest terms of roads
for motoring in the western part of the
island.
There is no place on this side of
the Atlantic" said Mr.. Firestone,
where the pleasures of motoring are as
great as on this beautiful island The
Cuban government seems to be alert
in extending the good work begun by
the United States in building splendid
thoroughfares of the highest class.
The roads are mostly made of coral
stone formation, which works down
into a hard surface almost like as
