Route Leaves New York by Way
of Staten Island and Perth
Amboy-Passes Over Famous
Antietam Fields.

The New York Herald this morn
ing prints the following:
After much careful study and
! nearly four thousand miles of ex-
| perimental touring in their scout
cars, the route for the national high
way between New York and Atlanta
has definitely been selected by the
New York Herald and The Atlanta
Journal.
The itinerary finally chosen for
the endurance run which is to take
place next autumn from the metro
polls of the north to the Gate City
of the south, and the route which is
thus to be dedicated as the national
highway connecting those two great
cities, is the one traversed by the
I Herald's White Steamer scout car in
it's first run to Atlanta.
The chosen path which is to link
the north and the south together by
a series of fine touring roads and is
thus to unite more closely the inter
ests of the two sections of the coun-
try, passes through a region rich in
scenic beauty and in historic memo
ries. 1t traverses many of the most
famous battlefields of the civil war
and includes the resting place of
many of the wars most illustrious
heroes, among them the tombs OF
those splendid opponents of the
Lost Cause" Gen. Robert E. Lee
and Gen. Stonewall jackson.
COVERED THREE ROUTES.
In their preliminary scouting ex-
petitions the Herald's White Steam
er and The Atlanta Journals Odds
mobile conscientiously covered three
separate routes, portions or some of
which were traversed with no little
difficulty and even hardship.
Their first trip lay from New York
westward through New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, to the historic town
of Gettysburg, where one of the
decisive battles of the war was
fought and where the high tide of
the Confederacy was met and swept
backward when Pickett's heroic
charge scattered itself against the
immovable lines of Hancock's sec
ond corps. From Gettysburg the
route turned southwark through
Hagerstown, Md, and across the field
of Antietam, another of the most
famous of modern battlefields, where
Mcclellan met the first northern in
vasion of Lee. The scenes of these
two great struggles lie only As
miles apart and are within the
compass of an easy mornings tour

CONSERVATIVE DRESSERS

CHICAGO, July A.-Modern woman
must be regarded as conservative in her
idea Sof dress in the light of the 18th CEN
fury fashion hints presented by Professor
Myra Reynolds, of the University of Chi
cago, on Eighteenth Century Manners"
yesterday at the university.
1.-The English women Of the 18th cen
fury were extremists in fashion," said
Professor Reynolds. They wore such
huge and absurd hats that the actresses
satirized them on the stage by wearing
great gardens of peonies on their heads.
And, although they had beautiful COM
plexions and hair, many of them painted
and wore false hair, to say nothing of
powder.
1.-THE ladies of those days were lavish
entertainers. One leader of fashion en-
tertained 100 women at breakfast one
morning."
