Regarded from a purely scientific
point of view, the hunting trip of Mr..
Roosevelt and his son was one of the
most successful ever known. The par
ty secured about five hundred large
mammals, the rarest and most import
ant of which are the giant eland, the
white rhinoceroses, the bongos and the
sitatunga, kind of antelope. OF some
of these animals, the Roosevelt speci-
mems are the first to be taken out of
the country. The collection also in
cludes many thousands of birds and
small mammals, all of which, together
with the larger animals, will go to the
national museum, the Smithsonian In
stitution, in Washington.

The superintendent Of Chicago's anti
cruelty society says that there are
100000 homeless cats in the Windy
City, and he recommends that they be
caught and destroyed by means of

the advent of cement sidewalks and
modern fiat buildings cats are not
needed to catch rats and mice.

NEW HALLIDAY AGENCY
FOR IMPERIAL VALLEY
viii Demonstrate Construction to
Armour Institute Students

The newly organized Halliday Motor
Car company is one of the busiest
firms on automobile row. Halliday
cars were recently delivered to Mrs.
Lawrence Holmes and Mrs. Clara M.
Gilbert, Los Angeles, and two cars, a
roadster and a touring car, to Frank
NJ. Salisbury of Imperial to be used in
his real estate business. So pleased
was Mr.. Salisbury with his cars after
trial that he has taken the Halliday
agency for Imperial and placed an
order for six cars for early delivery.
The new model Halladays arc con-
structed on classy lines, and two Of the
prettiest en-passenger, fore-door
cars in the city are now on their floor,
and two carloads will arrive during
this week, including both thirty and
forty-horse power touring cars.
Manager Whitcomb states that the
Armour institute of Chicago has just
purchased from the Chicago branch a
Halliday Forty chassis which 1t will
use this winter in showing the con-
struction of automobiles and the diff
ferent merits to it's students. The Hal
laday Forty chassis was selected after
a careful inspection of all of the
GLASSES on 0utomobile row in Chicago
and is simply another evidence of the
careful attention paid to designing
Halliday cars.

CROSS CONTINENT TRIP
ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION
Western Motor Enthusiasts Are
Watching Westgard

The transcontinental good roads trip
which A. ]. Westgard is now making
on behalf of the Touring Club Of
America for the purpose of laying out
the best touring route from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast via the
southwest, leading into Southern Cali
fornia, has not only aroused the great
est interest in all the towns through
which Mr.. Westgdrd has already
passed, but is attracting widespread
attention throughout the west.
Since the start of the long 400O-mile
trip three weeks ago the Touring Club
of America, New York, has received
many inquiries from motoring and
other organizations in the far west
asking if Mr. Westgard is coming
their way, as they are preparing to
escort him on many miles of the jour
ney. H. z. Frederickson, a prominent
automobilist of Omaha, Neb., says that
he is planning to meet the transcon-
tinental car in Iowa and pilot Mr..
Westgard over the best roads in Ne
braska.
c. II. Scott of Hutchinson, Kas,
writes a very enthusiastic letter to the
Touring club stating that he is secre-
tary of the new Santa Fe Trail, a
good roads organization having for it's
object the construction and main
tenanCe OF a good dirt road from Kan
sas City, Mo-, to Colorado points, or
700 miles from the former city to
Canyon City, Colo, half of which is in
the valley of the Arkansas river. Mr..
Scott is arranging a relay plotting party
to meet Mr.. Westgard at different To-
calities and travel with him from
Kansas City to Trinidad.
I'VE will have car meet him." he
says, Gin all of the towns and serve
as his pilot to the next. We have an
organization to do this, and we will
make it our business to get him over
the road rapidly or as slow as he may
desire. We will show him a route that
follows closely to the old Santa Fe trail
and parallels the Santa Fe railroad
lines"
G. A. Wahlgreen, the well known
mOtorist of Denver Colo, has sent a
request that Mr.. Westgard make a de-
tour to Denver, saying that the motor
lists of that city ARE keenly alive to
the Importance of the trip and it's in
fluence upon the good roSds develop
ment in the far west in the interest of
long-distance touring.
Mr. Westgard found the roads and
general conditions splendid in New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio and was
heartily received by the motorists of
Newburgh, Kingston, Binghamton,
Watkins Glen, Rochester. Batavia, Buff
falo, Erie, Cleveland, Columbus and
Akron.

STANDARDIZED FRAMES
AUTOMOBILE KEY NOTE
Best Engineers of the Country
Pass on Best Plans in
Convention

A division of the standards commit
tee of the Society of Automobile En-
gineers met in Cleveland last week.
1t was a session Of the subcommittee
on frame sections, and the following
were present: w. H. Van Dervoort,
Moline Automobile company, East Mo-
line, ILL.,; James H. Foster, Hydraulic
Pressed Steel company, Cleveland, o.;
L. r. Smith, A. o. Smith company, Mil
waukee, Wis; w. p. Kennedy Stude-

1851 Broadway, New York. J. G. Per-
rim, Lozier Motor company, Detroit,
Mich, was unable TO attend.
The current practice in frames for
motor cars has little uniformity in
sizes and proportions of the sections.
smaller number of sections would
be sufficient and give the following
advantages: "a Reduce the tool cost,
(2) increase the output of all presses
by reducing change of tools, 80 reduce
the number of different sizes of stock
required, a. reduce the number of
variations in the sizes of all parts
fastened to automobile frames.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
the frame as an element of automobile
design should receive more attention in
the initial stages of laying out a car
model, with relation to the disposition
of other elements of the machine, such
as power equipment, transmission me-
chanism, springs, aXles, body, ETC. AS
an extreme case of putting the cart
before the horse, designers have been
known to order their motors, transmits
sions, bodies and other parts before
giving the frames, to which they are
attached, a thought. OF course, this
is very much of an exception.
The committee in a report to be
made at an early date will recommend
quality of steel to be used in frames,
specifying the chemical composition,
physical properties and heat-treatment
desired. This is one of the two broad
divisions of the subject of standard
frame sections.
'The other broad division is the de-
sign OF, frames generally. and here
Standardization can be very effective,
without in any way throttling progress
or the development of meritorious new
styles of frames. In other words, the
frame section Standardization will have
the absolutely essential characteristic
of adequate elasticity.
The matter of design will be sub
divided somewhat as follows:
1. Main section, side bars, including
the topics (a) thicknesses of metal OBJ

(c) width of fange.
O. STANDARD front ends. Here ap-
pears to be a point in which great good
can be accomplished. 1t is said that
there are a thousand current designs
of frame front ends. These the COM
mittee will reduce tremendously to pos
sibly a score of front end curves.
Naturally this involves good deal of
work by the subcommittee.
3. Standard taper for rear end
4. Uniform radii Of curves and depth

drop frames.

PARK COMMISSIONS WORK

All the fascination of an automobile
drive through mountains and wild
country, yet always within touch of
the highest civilization, is one of the
many pleasures motorists can enjoy
right at the portals of Los Angeles;
for embraced in the two large parks
Elysian and Griffith--it is possible
even now to travel more than twenty
miles with all the exhilaration and
abandon of being in an isolated coun-
try in so far as inhabitants are con-
cerned, but with all the natural beauty
enhanced by the architectural land
scaping of man.
Plotted by superintendent of Parks
Frank Scherer, a party of citizens
including l.. r. Block. superintendent
of the good roads movement for the
Southern California Automobile asso-
citation, and a Herald representative
made tour of inspection of these two
great parks to determine where road
signs should be put up I'm order to
make safe and sure driving over the
many miles of completed roads by the
thousands of tourists who will be here
this winter and will desire to take in
. all the beauty spots this great COM
monwealth has to offer.
Driving out Buena Vista street to
the Elysian park entrance at Fremont

more than five miles over as good
park roads as is possible to find any
where. Winding in and out among the
stately palms and the young forests
planted by the city on the hundreds
of acres in this park, you reach the
summit at an elevation of over 600
feet above sea level. The descent is

DECORATION SCHEME
FEATURE OF MY. SHOW
The U. S. Classic in Motor Car
Shows to Be Without a
Duplicate

For many years Madison Square
garden has been the scene of great
exhibitions, entertainments and events
in which society has played an i'm
portant part, but in the procession Of
it's many and varied affairs none has
yet succeeded in effecting more COM
plete transformation of the interior of
the building than the automobile
shows. Without doubt, the most bril-
liant spectacle ever presented within
the walls of the old show building will
greet the visitor on the occasion of
the eleventh national automobile show,
to be held January Z to q, under the
auspices of the Association of Licensed
Automobile Manufacturers. Just what
the decorative scheme will be for the
forthcoming show, which is to be
divided into two parts, has not as yet
been made known, but Judging from
the plans formulated by the show COM
mittee and decorator general. w. w.
Knowles, it is certain that the 1911
affair will be the most splendid and
classical of any ever held in this coun-
try.
Always it has been the aim of the
show managers to provide a scheme of
decoration suitable to the exhibits,
and at the same time furnish patrons
with spectacle as artistic as is prac-
tical for so short period. From a
recent discussion with the decorator
general 1t was learned that already
carpenters. woodworkers, painters and
other tradesmen are at work on sew
eral decorative pieces that will adorn
the balconies, exhibition hall, concert
hall. rathskeller and basement of the
garden. One of the ornate effects now
receiving finishing touches is q big
pergola-fountain. in the form of an
eXedra, which will confront the visitor
at the entrance to the amphibheater
The fountain is in the form of a low
abutment of gray stone In the front
of which is carved long setee for
the visitors It has a troughlike basin
and at each end water will spray from
the mouths of griff1ns and gargoyles.
The splashing water will be electrically
radiant, made so by iridescent and
cunningly hidden bulbs. Artificial
water plants from which will radiate
vari-colored lights will be in the pool,
and natural water lilies and gold fish
will be mingled with them. The foun-
tain is overhung with wistaria. which
clings to a netting of lattice work and
gracefully entwines itself about the
eight marble-w7'ito Doric columns
which support the pergola. Four bay
trees adorn the front of the fountain.
