SMOKE ORDINANCE HITS
NEW YORK MOTORISTS
Law Provides Severe Penalties
for Violation

It will be interesting to watch the
results of the enforcement of the smoke
ordinance which has; just gone INTO
effect in New York city. In passing
this ordinance the lawmakers have. as
usual gone to an extreme. The ennis
sion of "dense smoke" from automo-
biles is forbidden absolutely, and the
penalties provided are exceedingly
severe. Everybody knows that no at
tempt will be made to enforce these
provisions to the letter, for to do SO
would almost put a stop to the use or
motor vehicles on the streets of New
York. What is Intended is to use com
mon sense in the matter and permit
certain amount of violation of the law.
This is well expressed by Commissioner
Iederle of the health department, who
is quoted as saying;
"Of course, we don't want to be too
severe on automobilists, but those VINO
persist in sending clouds Of offensive
smoke from their cars into the faces
and nostrils of pedestrians must pc
disciplined. In cases where only
slight smoke is issuing the motorlst
NAV be permitted to go on with
warning, but he must at once correct
the evil or he will be arrested"
Nothing could be fairer and more
rea asonable than this pronouncement.
The trouble is that 1t is going TO pe
difficult, if not Impossible, TO carry II
into effect Given the best intentions
in the world 1t will not be easy for the
officers 60 of whom were detailed ON
this job) to do the proper thlns.

stopped only long enough to see some
Of the sketches that panel the walls of
the little cafe, then went on to Gasny
and climbed the long hill to La Roche
Guyon. This hill, by the way a stiff
climb, the engine took as it took all the
others-just as though it were a level

Roche Guyon boasts of castle like
Chateau Gaillard, crowning q hilltop.
Beneath is a chateau belonging to La
roche -Boucauld family, and here the
road crosses the Seine by shaky

the little hotel, the Maison Rouge,
was once q head mechanic in one OF
the large italian automobile factories
and spent some years in America as
chauffeur for the Goulds and Mackays
on Long Island.
Nantes, the beautiful, lies beyond.
From there on, the best way to get to
Paris is to follow the Route Rationale,
which we intended to do but got lost
in the dark and found ourselves
against a dead wall after touring
around in q truck garden.
It was after midnight when we
passed the gates of the CITY, and
drove down the Champs Elysees to
one of the cafes on the boulevard for
a late supper.

QUAKER CITY MOTOR CLUB
ADDS FULL RACING CARD
Barney 0IdfieId Enters Six-Hour
Race with Knox Six-Cyl-
inder Stock Chassis

The Quaker City Motor club has add
ed a full card of racing to the six
hour meet for August 6. Short dis
tance races and record trials have been
included in the program.
The racing committee announced last
night that the noted Barney Oldfield.
speed king by virtue Of his wonderful
performance of attaining a speed of
142 miles an hour with his "Blitzen"
Benz on the Florida beach, has en-
tered the six hour race with his Knox
six cylinder stock chassis, and would
go for all short distance track marks
with his Benz.
Ralph De Palma's most valuable
possession, the one mile dirt track rec
ord of so AS, was cut to 49 2-5 by King
Barney on the same track, st. Paul,
two weeks ago. Oldfield drove seven
separate miles under fifty seconds and
coaSted the turns on most of the at
tempts, the speed attained in the
stretches being so terrific that no
power was needed to send the car
around the turns at the limit of speed
The Point Breeze track record for
the mile is 1:01, made by De Palma,
and this is the mark that Barney has
guaranteed to reduce to fifty-seven
seconds with the Benz. The appear
ance hero will be the first time. the
Benz has ever been seen in action east
of Chicago.
Oldfield's temerity in putting the
monster on a mile circular track is
looked on as the limit of daring, and
his gameness in taking such chances
after having been in a score of acci-
dents during his eight years at the
racing game has placed him head and
shoulders above the race drivers in
America.
In addition to Oldfield, many noted
drivers are looked on to participate In
the six hour event, for which a purse
of $1,000 has been hung UP. Strang,
Robertson, De Palma and the other
New York celebrities have been in
vited to enter, and Chairman Ross of
the contest committee will spend a
few days in New York to get en-
tries.
The track will be flooded with oil
and the dust will be entirely elimi-
mated. Owner Hugh McAnany of Point
Breeze track has offered Oldfield a
bonus of $500 il he puts the mile record
for the famous old track below the
minute.

EXTOLS BEAUTIES
OF SEINE VALLEY
Motoring Along Historic River Is
Attended with Many Odd
Adventures
MEET LONESOME CHAUFFEUR
Lonely American Longs to Be
Back wild de Bunch on
Broadway
MEET LONESOME CHAUFFEUR

The valley of the Seine. is one of the
most beautiful in the whole of France.
The river performs oil sorts of gyra-
tions as it flows down toward Paris,
but below its antics are indescribable.
It winds about like a snake, as any
one can see who takes the trouble to
look at the map. We were reminded of
this in Rouen, where we encountered
the Lonely American Chauffeur.
He was driving big French car
owned by his employer somewhere out
west, and was very proud of 1t. But
still he couldn't keep his eyes off the
Studebaker, and hoVeredsaround as we
were oiling up and testing the engine
before we cranked her and made the
start for Paris.
"Geel" he said, "it's lonely here, dog
gone lonely, and there's many time
I wisht [ was back wild de bunch on
upper Broadway"
1t was here that the Playwright, who
was studying character, took occasion
to change the subject and remark again
that the Seine wound through the val
lev like n snake "Huh!" remarked the
chauffeur, "a full grown respectable
snake would plumb break his neck try
ing to swim up that river!" And hav-
ing thus declared himself he followed
us out of the garage and waved
goodby as we turned into the main
street that runs along the quay.
Rouen was en- fete, for the day be-
fore q. great reception had been given
to DR.. Charcot, and the Pourquoi Pas,
the ship in which he made a valiant
but unsuccessful effort to reach the
south pole.
Again we left the Route Rationale
and took to the byways--little country
roads they were, but splendidly cared
for; in places so narrow that once,
when we met peasant in his cart, we
had to back up until we found a spot
wide enough to give him room to pass.
We reached Les Andelys for lunch
con, Above the sleepy little village Is
the Chateau Gaillard, Richard Occur
de Lions "Gay Castle" He built 1t,
with its moat, its outer works, Its four
teen-foot walls, and the most impreg-
nable donjon tower within, in less than
a year; and for decades thereafter IT

ing finally to Philip Augustus after q
siege of five months.
Farther up the Seine on the opposite
bank Is the town of Vernon, with a
very picturesque old Norman church
and an american bar" which Is kept
by Charles Leroy, who left New York
thirty-seven years ago and has never
been hack since. But he keeps up his
interest in his native country and is
only too glad to hang out the Amer
tcan flag on the slightest provocation.
Beyond Vernon is the little village
of Ciiverny, which is an artist colony

LOADING CHARGES ADDED
TO FREIGHT ON AUTOS
Railways Make Changes in Rules
Regarding Shipment of
Car Loads

If the dealer tacks on a few dollars
extra to the price of your automobile
after August Is, just figure 1t out that
he is not making the extra, for all the
railroad companies have sent out an
official notice similar to the follow
ing:
''Consignors and consignees will be
required to load and unload all freight
upon which carload rates are applied.
Carload rates named in this companys
tariffs, or tariffs to which this COM
pany is a party, do not include the eX-
pense of loading or unloading carload
freight, except as otherwise provided
in the tariffs of the receiving and de-
livering carriers. Less carload rates
named in this companys tariffs or tar
ifs to which this company is party
include the expense of loading and un-
loading less than carload freight at its
public freight depots.
mo charge will be made when load
ing or unloading is performed by use
of power derricks Of this company pro-
vided laborers (other than one en-
gineer assigned by this company to
operate the mechanism of derrick) are
employed by shipper or consignee."
The automobile business has grown
to such proportions in Los Angeles
that the roads figure that they are at
too much expense in doing the loading
and unloading when car lots are
handled which is the rule and not the
exception.
AS the new ruling applies to all
classes of freight, the advanced rates
will be the basis of all merchandise at
retail being advanced in price, but the
automobile industry will feel 1t most
of all. This Is the reason why so many
1911 machines are being received now
to escape the tax. AS so much care
must be exercised in handling auto
mobiles, the roads consider it just
addition to their tariff, but naturally
cannot make exceptions in the classes
of merchandise.
