GARAGE MARKS SPOT OF
BRAVE MONTCALM'S DEATH
Home of Physician Gives Way to
Modern Advance

That the historic spot on which Gen.
Montcalm-hero of the Franco-Ameri-
can race-gave up his life, following
the disastrous battle with the British
on the plains of Abraham, is now oc
cupied by a combined automobile gar
age and livery stable, is fact brought
out by the recent departure from Que
bee for Mexico City of the Flanders
go" Under Three Flags" automobile.
The garage is, in fact, the Quebec
agency of the EMF "30'' and Flan-
ders "20' cars, and is conducted by
P. Campbell, a Quebec native, whose
forefathers immigrated hither from
Scotland, while the memory of the
great battle was still fresh in popular
minds.
There is no doubt regarding the truth
of the historical reference, as the site
was formerly occupied by the city
physician to whom Montcalm was
carried in a dying condition from his
wound. Directly across the street. the
building where Montcalm had located
his headquarters in the fated year,
1853, is still standing. His remains are
inferred at a convent only block away
where his skull is, at stated times and
for stated amounts, on public view.
Quebec abounds in historic interest,
and one feature-a little brass cannon
said to have been captured at Bunker
Hills always exhibited with gusto
to American visitors. Pilot Lane, of the
Flanders "20," however, exhibited dis
appointing absence of emotion. well"
he remarked, "if you're satisfied, we
ought to be. You've got the cannon,
but we still have the hill"

Bin Concern Arranges to Care for
Visitors Cars

One of the most unique features of
the Elks' grand lodge reunion at De-
troit July 11-17 will be the huge
tented garage which the General Mo-
tors company will erect and maintain
for the benefit of owners of cars built
by it's constituent companies.
Many Elks in various parts of this
country are preparing to drive their
cars overland to the convention city,
In view of this fact, which means a
congestion of Detroit's garage facili-
ties, the General Motors company has
perfected plans to accommodate a
large number of cars. All the Elks
lodges have been notified, so that
owners of the various cars can avail
themselves of the accommodations ten

The company has secured the grounds
and clubhouse of the Detroit Athletic

$50 feet, and the space for garage
facilities extends from Woodward ave-
nue. on the east to Cass avenue on

AUTO MAKERS UP IN AIR
OVER PUBLIC'S COLOR IDEA
Pierce-ArroW Makers Encourage
Individual Choice with Buyers

It is seldom that any good idea of
the taste of the public for colors can
be obtained. In clothes certain colors
are in vogue for a while, and thesn
others will succeed them. In motor
cars, however, there is no outside con-
sideration, such as the ruling fashion,
to influence the buyer Some COM
panies insist that a few standard col
ors be adhered to by the buyers Of
their cars, while others, the Pierce
Arrow Motor Car company of Buffalo,
for example, encourages each buyer to
make his car an individual production
So far as colors 60 From the speciti-
cations for Pierce-Arrow cars for the
past year, then, 1t is possible to OBJ
tain accurate information as to just
what the public has wanted in the
twelve months just passed.

UNCLE SAM PRESENTS
$500 AUTO TO SPEAKER

Vice President Sherman and Speaker
Cannon must pay the salaries of their
chauffeurs and buy their own gasoline.
The senate has given up it's fight for
the two appropriations of $25OO each
for the maintenance of the automobiles
of the presiding officers of the two
houses of congress, the house refused
to agree to the appropriation, and three
times the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill, containing the
provision, was sent back to the con-
ference because of 1t.
The item was originally struck out
of the bill in the lower body, after a
spirited fight on the floor, only to be
put back in the measure in the senate.
It has been a bone of contention in con-
ference, and to end the controversy the
senate has receded from its amendment
and adopted the conference report. The
effect of this action is that the vice
president and speaker may retain their
government owned automobiles, but
must themselves bear the cost of their
maintenance.

SCATTER CROWD GRANT
TELLS BOSTON POLICE

Harry Grant, winner of the last Vanderbilt
cup says he will be in all the big road races
this year, including the grand prize, with the
same car that he drove to victory last year.
Grant when not racing, drives a demon
strating car about Boston, and recently he has
been getting notoriety there as an uninten-
tionaI obstructor of traffic. Grant had a very
interesting locomotive and tender, hauling a
fiat car bearing the Vanderbilt cup, all worked
out in miniature, and set on the hood of his
six-cylinder touring car. The locomotive car
ried electric lights and its wheels were kept
revolving by little electric motor While
Grant and his car were standing in front of
hotel on one of the narrow streets of Boston,
the diminutive railroad and train attracted a
crowd that so obstructed traffic as to cause a
policeman to order Grant to move on. The
law allows a to stop five minutes in a
place, and the deliberate driver took the
count UP to the last second of his legal al
lowance before pulling out. telling the officer
II was his duty to disperse the crowd The
incident is characteristic of Grant, who is
noted for his cooness and fine head work
when racing.

DROPS union JACK,
HOSTS OLD GLORY.
Under Three Flags Car Enters
the United States at
Detroit
ON ITS WAY TO MEXICO CITY
Big Flanders '20' viii Run to Rio
Grande Under the Stars
and Stripes

On board the ferry, in mid-stream
in the Detroit river, the crew Of the
Flanders "20" "Under Three Flags"
car removed the Union Jack of Great
Britain. which had decorated the peak
of the radiator during the arduous
journey from Quebec to Windsor, rele-
replaced 1t with the Stars and Stripes
under which the car will make the
trip from Detroit to Laredo, where the
Rio Grande is to be crossed and the
invasion of Mexico begun, with Mexico
City as the final destination.
AS the flags changed places the
whistles of the shipping in the river
footed a salute to the car and her
crew. Mayor Hanna of Windsor
turned the car over to Acting Mayor
Heinemann of Detroit at the wharf
and the car proceeded up Woodward
avenue, in her home city at last, if
only for the night which she spent at
the Cunningham garage, the admired
of thousands who marveled at her
natty appearance after the strenuous
road experiences through which she
had passed in the eastern part of the
dominion.
Messrs. Lane and Bruske believe
that one of the hardest parts of their
trip Is now in the background. Their
trip from Detroit to ST. Louis presents
in advance no serious hardships There
is a slight uncertainty regarding that
portion which lies between st. Louis
and Dallas. Texas. Mexico is a terra
incognito, however, and that part of
the road which lies between the border
and the plateau is said to present
alternate mountain climbing and sand
plowing that would create consterna-
ton in their minds but for the confi-
dence which they have in the car after
the way she carried them through the
bottomless road of the province OF
Quebec and Isle Pirrot.
The tremendous welcome which the
car was given in Detroit has given the
tourists an added incentive for a sue
cessful return on the longer portion of
the trip. Both agree that the finest
sight yet observed was the skyline of
Detroit, crested with Stars and stripes,
and neither will be satisfied until it is
again before him.
"I wouldn't do 1t over again II I
could possibly escape it," said Pilot
Lane to his companion as they came
within sight of the gateway to the
United States, "but II I had to do 1t,
I'd want another boat just like this
the very same one would suit me per-
fectly."

DRIVERS FOND OF CARS
AS JOCKEYS OF HORSES

There are some chauffeurs who are as proud
Of the cars they drive as good riders or driv-
ers on the horse racing tracks are proud Of
their horses.
One such was brought to light last week at
the beaches, when party OF tourists were
admiring a car. The chauffeur in question,
on finding admirers for his car, volunteered
the information that the big 7-passenger Royal
touring car in question, had traversed more
than 11.0o0 miles in the last year, and that
two OF. the tires had the air that they
were originally inflated with. and that the en-
tr set of tires were the originals.
