AUTOMOBILE NOTES.


Mrs. Robert C. Eastburn, of New
Brunswick, plans to start in May in
her 40-horsepower Mitchell car for
Phoenix, Arizona. She expects to drive
the entire distance, but will take a
machinist with her In case his services
may be needed.
As the preferences of prominent per-
SONS are always noted, it will be of
interest to the ~automobilist to learn
that Pr~esident-elect Taft has ordered
his private car equipped with Diamond
tires. Speaker Cannon has always
used Diamond tires and speaks highly
of them. President Roosevelt rides Oh
the same tires, as his official auto
mobiles at both Washington n Oyster
Bay are shod with Diamonds.
