NATIONAL AUTO
HIGHWAY TOUR
Thousands Witness Start Of
the Trip from Atlanta
to New York
Today.

Atlanta. Ga. June 6.--Cheered By
enthusiastic thousands who gathered
to witness the start the automobiles
entered in the second annual tour over
the national highway" left Atlanta to
day on the long run which is expected
to end with the arrival OF the cars in
New York on June IA. This tour was
established last year by newspapers of
this city and New York with view OF
national highway between Atlanta and
New York
Automobiledom does not lightly re-
gard the project and its execution 4
year ago that resulted i'm laying out u
national touring highway for automo-
bilists between the metropolis of the
country and the Gate City OF the
South. True, il was possible before
that TO travel by automobile between
the two cities, but such n journey by
car had hardly been considered by
even the most enthusiastic tourists. IL
was known that the run from New
York to Philadelphia offered attrac.
tions; that there existed more or
less favorable route to- Gettysburg;
that the Shenandoah Valley possessed
high class turnpikos, and that around
Atlanta, at least some good roads ex-
listed.
What was not known was whether
the links between these various
stretches were passable without sub
jecting a car To strains that would en-
tirely nulify, for the owner, the pleas
ure of the run. AS matter OF fact
the roads In many places were practl-
cally impossible for automobiles ex-
cept during a few weeks OF the year.
1t was the agitation for the improve
ment OF the most suitable route, and
for the construction OF good roads gen
orally, due directly, TO newspaper agi-
tation q year ago, that has made the
national highway a delightful reality.
and that will, in timo to come, make
the entire South the touring ground
of the nation.

rifying as possible to the visitors.
When Guanajuato became the scene
of great mining activity a few years
ago, caused by the advent Of many
Americans, the newcomers made pro
test to the government authorities OF
the horrifying spectacle in the under
ground chamber. In response to this
protest the authorities issued an order
that these skeletons must be clothed
20 as to hide their shimmerlng bones
from the eyes Of the visitors to the
place. The effect Of this order is to
make the occupants Of the chamber
more grotestQue and terrifying than
when their nakedness was exposed.
Each grinning skeleton now wears a
full suit Of clothes which hang Imply
upon the bones. Some wear hats that
are titled at rakish angles.
The big pile of bones that formerly
occupied one end Of the Guanajauto
chamber of horrors has been removed
and an effort is now being made to
keep the place in fit condition for the
reception Of American and other visi-

Bones of Dead Are Treated With
Little Respect by Officials.
People Of Wealth and Moderate Means
Are Able to Have More Atten-
ton Shown - Remains
Thrown Into Pile.

Matamoras, Mexico.-The average
Mexican cemetery is grewsome spot.
The one at Matamoras is no exception
to the rule. The bones Of the dead
are treated with little respect by the
municipalities or men in control OF
the different burial grounds. The
poorer the person is in worldly goods
the more ignoble will be the treat
mcnt accorded the bones when he has
passed the way Of all flesh. OF course,
the people of wealth or even moderate
means are able to have their bodies
cared for in n more or less luxurious
manner after death. 1t is the lower
class whose crumbling remains are
shifted about from place to place and
finally fall into dust and are scattered
to the four winds.
The bones Of the dead are usually
piled in big heaps In the cemeteries OF
the larger towns. The bodies are
given room in regular graves at an
nual rentals. When the rent lapses
the body is moved from its resting
place to give room for some other
bodies. The bones Of these dispos-
sessel tenants are cast into the refuse
pile, where they remain until carted
away and scattered over the land like
they were so much garbage. 1t is rare
that body of the poorer class is kept
in a grave more than two years.
Until recently the bone pile in the
cemetery at Matamoras was large. II
was carted away to give room for a
fresh accumulation Of nonpaping ten
ants of the graves. In one corner OF
