TENTED AUTOISTS ARE
NOW At ATLANTA, CA.
Great Race Meet Will Offer Un-
usual Spectacle to Visit
ing Thousands

ATLANTA Ga, Oct. 15.-In less than
a month now automobiles by the score
will be whirling around the Atlanta
speedway. The fall meet of the Geor-
gia track will get going November 8
and at that time there will undoubted-
ly be gathered in Atlanta more cars
representing more factories than ever
before took part in any race meet in
America
Already the local automobile asso-
citation has contracted for a number Of
tents which will be used for the ma
chimes that cannot be accommodated
in the "a sheet iron garages located in
the infeld of the speedway. These
buildings can accommodate about fifty
to sixty machines, along with their re-
pair outfits, spare parts, tires and gen.
eral junk. The rest of the machines
will be looked out for in tents.
1t is likely, too, that this year, for
the first time, many of the teams will
establish camps at the track in order
to be right on the grounds. Already
few teams have reserved camping
space.
Work has been started on resurfac-
ing a big strip of the back stretch and
more than $1,000 will be spent for this
purpose. In addition to this the track
will be extensively patched and a huge
force of men will be kept busy tamp
ing down the bumps instead of cut
ting them off, as has been the prac-
tice in the past.

BRITISHERS PLAN 5000
MILE TOUR IN AFRICA
Cecil Rhodes Predicted That No
Motor Car Could Make
Jungle Journey

One of the most remarkable alto-
mobile expeditions that have ever set
out from England will leave in No
vember next to attempt to carry the
union jack by motor car all the way
from Cape Town to Cairo, a distance
of more than 5000 miles, says the Hart
ford Courant.
The journey, which if carried to a
successful conclusion will falsify Cecil
Rhodes prediction that no one would
cross Africa on wheels until the Cape
to-Cairo railway had been constructed,
is expected to last four months. The
two principal members of the party
will be B. J. F. Bentley and Capt. r.
n. Kelsey. Mr. Bentley, who is the
leader of the expedition, is an explorer
and ardent motorist.
H has already covered the greater
part of Abyssinia in a motor car and
was the first to initiate King Menelik
into the mysteries of mechanical pro-
pulsion. He fought in the South At
rican war and since then has made
several journeys of exploration. He
is the son of the architect of the
Westminster Roman Catholic cathe-
dral.
Captain Kelsey is 30 years of age
and a native of Somerset. He fought
in the principal enga gements of the
South African war and was wounded
on several occasions. 1t was he who
started the territorial recruiting office
in Cecil court and secured 100 re-
cruits in ten days. He is much inter-
ested in aviation and has been for some
time connected with the Aerial league
of the British empire. He and Mr..
Bentley, with a journalist and a bio
graph operator, will make up the en-
tire party.
It is anticipated that the advantages
of travelling by motor car will be more
than counterbalanced by the many
drawbacks Some notion of the diff
cuIties attaching to the journey will be
obtained from the statement that no
fewer than twenty rivers and four
lakes will be crossed on the way. At
all these places a pontoon of local
timber, on which the motor car will
be carried, must be constructed Aon
the spot. The brushwood must also
be cleared when it is too dense to
push through
Again, it is feared that the sight of
a mechanically propelled vehicle will
arouse the hostility of certain native
tribes in Central Africa, through
whose territory the expedition must
as much as possible and the expedi-
tion will endeavor to follow the route
marked out for the Cape-to-Cairo rail-
way.
AS at present arranged, the route
northward will be as follows: Cape
Town, Middleburg, Bloemfontein, Vic
toria Falls, Livingstonia. Bismarkburg.
Lake Tanganyika, Vishumbi, Kodok,
Khartum. Wadi Halfa, Cairo.
One of the worst portions of the
journey northward will be as follows:
Cape Town, Mid-Desert a vast, sandy
plain which stretches between the
Zambesi and Orange rivers for a dis
tance of about 600 miles. While Ia
goons and "salt-pans" are frequent in
some parts of the desert, it Is prac-
tically destitute of water
Unlike the builders of the Capeto-
Cairo railway. who had the benefit
of an advance guard of 1000 native
troops, the present party, if the
bearer boys exchanged from time to
time be excepted, will travel alone.

liable information concerning tours
from a two-hour run to a trip across
the continent, and on laws in every
state and abroad auecting motorists.
Eastern tourists naturally turn to
the Automobile club for best informa-
tion regarding routes and hotels, and
it is the eastern motorists who thor
oughly appreciate the clubs sign work
TIL. year the club is concentrating
it's attention on the question of legis-
lation, and has requested all motor
lists to advise its board of directors
as to what, in their opinion, needs the
most urgent attention. Much must be
accomplished at this meeting of the
state legislature, if possible, as it will
mean another two years delay unless
carried through during this years
session.
The government Of the Automobile
club is in the hands of a board of
directors consisting of nine men, whose
regular meetings are held onca a
month. Each county in the clubs ter
ritory is represented by a local consul,
who works in conjunction with an
advisory committee. The present Of
ficers and directors are: r. =. Hill

presiden.; Henry w. Keller, W. L.

LEXINGTON CARS ARE BUILT
TO STAND SEVERE SHOCKS

In speaking of the strength of the
modern automobile to withstand
shocks and strains, Z. Jr. Bennett,
sales manager of the Lexington, men
toned a couple of accidents that oc
Cured recently to cars sold by him.
Last Sunday Lexington "40' torpedo,
which had been sold to DR. Charles
w. Bryson the day before, was struck
full in the side by a trolley car at
Sawtelle and knocked clear of the
track. The automobile, which was oc-
cupied by four persons, was uninjured
except for the springing of a live
axle, and the driver cranked up and
drove on home, while the trolley car
was held up for half an hour while
the fender was worked out from un-
der the front wheels. The front steps
were torn off the platform and the
force of the collision had broken the
glass out of the front of the car. The
many bystanders remarked upon the
damage done to the trolley car and
the Slight grief suffered by the motor
car.
On Tuesday a Lexington 40" touring
car, which had been purchased by DR..
A. j. Berry, was struck full in the side
by a trolley car at the corner of
Adams and Hooper streets and showed
sideways for thirty feet without break
ing down the wheels. The left mud
guards, both front and rear, were
crushed by the trolley car which
struck it on that side, and both right
tires were torn off the wheels by
the terrible dragging sideways That
the wheels did not break and permit
the car to wedge against the ground
and be crushed, causing the passengers
TO be killed or injured Is due to the
light weight of the Lexington car and
the strength of the Schwartz wheels,
with which it is equipped Such con-
struction is what Is making motoring
safe and pleasing even where trolley
cars are so numerous and so rapidly
driven.
