Pocahontas Going to New York.
The excursion barge Pocahontas. which
was brought here about three months ago
for excursion service on the Potomac. and
which has been lying in Broad creek
since being withdrawn from that work, is
to go to New York to be used as a sight

celebration. The barge was brought out
OF the creek Friday night by one of the
tugs of the Taylor fleet and anchored in
the river, where she is to be picked up by
q tug and taken to Norfolk. The Balti
more tug Albatross has been chartered to
tow her from Norfolk to New York as
soon as she reaches the first named port
with barges from New York. The future
movements Of the Pocahontas are un-
certain.

owned machines, and that every one of the
twelve thought them preferable to the

out the country one may see mowers and
other light machinery hitched TO an auto

hustling gait. Women are using them to
take their butter, eggs and chickens to
market, and their milk cans to the cream

veal calves and lambs to market on them,
And after their day on the road is over

not run any longer and then he bought a

has once had an automobile and a tele-
phone will never do without either. His
l5-year-old son took the engine out OF the
old machine and hitched 1t to the churn,
saving much elbow grease. Then he used
1t for the corn shelter, the washing ma
chine, the feed cutter. And at last. when
the windmill went ON a strike, he tried IL

a new mark in the automobilists propa-

are 100000 miles OF roads I'm the United
States, and that less than Z per cent Of
them are improved, although $4,000, 900 a
year is spent on them. II would require
only 10000 miles Of good road to parallel

Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jer-
sey have established comprehensive good

California is considering a scheme TO con-
meet every county seat by a system Of
Hacadam roads.
In the recent New York-Atlanta run an
incident which occurred in a little town
just outside OF Atlanta served to show the
spirit Of the Cracker state toward the
visiting Automobiles. As the party ran
into this town a flaming sign greeted them,
commanding that they slow down to
ninety-slX miles an hour while passing
through the town. Every driver gave the
town a cheer.

1t is now the open season for automobile
shows. 1t began with the epoch-making
show and races in Atlanta week before
last, in which the Georgia capital did itself
proud, and it will end with the Chicago
and New York shows, which will be held
early in the new year. Between these dates
many events are scheduled. The New
Orleans show is now on. Tomorrow the
great flag-to-flag race from Denver 10
the City Of Mexico will start at the crack
of the pistol, Next Thursday the classic
mile high hill climb will be held at Red
lands, Cal. Philadelphia, Detroit, San An
tonic and other cities are planning events
which will focus the eyes OF the automobile
world uDon each OF them in turn.
The present year has been a notable one
in the automobile world. Although the
panic Of 1905 did not injure the automobile
trades as it did some other industries
more than 6O,OOO new cars having been sold
during the panic yeaN-the business re-
vival served to quicken the demand for
new machines, and this year has been a fat
one for the maker and the seller Of
horseless vehicles. Chicago recently told
a story Of the rise Of the automobile, a
story th5t one hears everywhere, in a
more impressive and convincing way than
in any other city. It kept q careful count
Of the vehicles passing twenty-four repres-
sentative points in the Windy City. The
result showed that on Sunday there were
64,51 motor cars passing these points
within the counting period and only Is, 300
,horse-drawn vehicles. In the counting
period for a week day there were 1878
motor cars to pass these points and only
1886 horse-drawn vehicles.
Not content with the lesson shown by
these figures, Chicago wished to make the
lesson impressive, and when President Taft
reached there on his great wins around
the circle the parade he headed had not a
horse in il. As far as the eye could see
there was one unbroken line OF automo-
biles. one may be sure that there was
rivalry as to whose car should carry the
president. The honor went to IL. A. still
well, and It happened in this way. The
Chicago COMMITTEES thought a binding rule
Of etiquette made it necessary that no man
should ride with his back turned on the
chief magistrate and that therefore the
only automobile which could carry MI.
TAFT would be one in which the front seat
faced backward, II happened that Mr..
Stillwell was the only man TO think OF
having his car changed to meet this point.
Not only has the m conquered
the city, but it Is carrying its active war
fare into the very citadel Of the stronghold
Of the horse, the farm. When George AIDE.
gentleman farmer, laid aside his pen long
enough to give a barbecue at HIS Indiana
farm last year, his orchard became a park
for automobiles. In that portion Of rural
Indiana there were more automobiles than
horse-drawn vehicles. Not long ago nf-

Table Decorations.
The decorations of the Thanksgiving
table follow the seasons ruling, and the
autumn leaves, chrysanthemums and ber-
ries are popular to the exclusion of more
delicate trimmings. A table arranged by a
professional decorator, had only a large
pumpkin Of deeply golden tint in the center,
This was scooped out and held a pro-
fusion Of selected fruits, grape pears, red
checked apples, oranges and flawless pears.
At each plate a tiny pumpkin had the
name card pinned across 1t and a chrysan-
themum in it's top
Another table had only autumn leaves,
but each one was a lovely color and strewn
about the white damask and gathered
in a big cluster for the center with scar
let berries interspersed made a charming
picture.

Eager For Education
Reports from every state and county In
the land have convinced the officers OF
the National Association Of Audubon socie-
ties that all the American people are now
ready and eager to learn to guard against
the money loss that surely follows tho
destruction of the country's feathered re-
sources. Only the wide presentation OF
the facts and figures of economic bird
talue can ever check the alarming spread
Of crop plaques over the continent, the
ornithologists and agricultural authorities
declare, To tell this saving story to all the
adults and particularly to the children
Of America is believed to be the only emer-
gency measure that can now avail to
preserve the agricultural and general
wealth of the county.
