The Highway Department OF the Ror-
ough of Queens left this stretch on Hit
side avenue to the United States Office of
Public Roads to supervise it's TeConstruc-
ton. and it was FOR this purpose that D1-
rector Page caused to be made the report
os the vehicular traffic over the highway.
Had the weather conditions been more
favorable it is believed that there would
have been much greater percentage OF
automobile travel than indicated. as dur
ing two days of the time the weather was
incIenent which naturally caused a falling
off of the traffic. especially that of motor
vehicles.
The report from the Office Of Public
RoaGs, which has just been received at the
Torring Club. clearly indicates that the use
of motor vehicles is gradually and con-
stsntly increasing. and it is only question
of time when the percentage OF horse
drawn vehicles. especially those used for
carriage and trucking, will be greatly re-
duced.

Mo Revolutions in Construction
of New Auto Models.

The automobiles to he exhibited at the
eleventh international Automobile snow at
Grand Central Palace. which will open on
New Years Eve demonstrate that the ulti-
mate automobile is many years away
There have been no sweeping revou-
tons in construction, In the sense that
types have been remodelled, but the added
features to machines calculated to bring
about actually the horSeess age are mani
fold. Machines for business only, and al
most any line of business imaginable, are
now to be shown alongside of convertible
machines which may be used for both bust
ness and pleasure. In other words, auto
mobiles are now on the market which have
two bodies. one of which may be utilized
as a runabout or touring car for instance
and the other may be quickly substituted
with little labor so that the owner may
have a speedy and dependable gasolene
wagon for delivery and hauling of goods.
The exhibits this year, which will num-
Der more than seventy. indicate that many
large and prosperous Western concerns
that have been little heard of here mean
business. The ten-ton automobile truck for
transporting the heaviest merchandise is to
be shown by the Westerners on the same
floor with the saucy seventy mile an hour
racer for two persons. These big Western
manufacturers, too are constantly revising
their scales of prices downward and show
ing that with increased business and fa-
cilities for creating business anywhere in
the United States dependable automobiles
can be built and sold at good profit at
half the final cost of four or five years ago
The first big aviation show in the United
States is to be held simultaneously with
the Grand Central Palace Automobile
Show, and 1t will give New Workers that
have never seen aeroplanes at close range
an opportunity to inspect some of the
worlds most famous flying machines

TOO MUCH MILAN
 AND BULKELEY
AND NOT ENOUGH STATE ISSUES. REPRESENTATTV CHANDLER TELLS SHELTON BUSINESS MEN. g


 Shelton, March 13-The first annual banquet of the Shelton Business Mems Asso.. held Thursday evening was 8 brilliant success pr. Gould A. Shel- ton acted as toastmaster. The speak CTS were Hon. Everett J. Lake on individual Responsibilities Colonel and Hon. G. B. Chandler, on Reforms, Ready Made or Real"
 MT. Chandler of Rocky Hill, slid that there was altogether too much Bulkeley and Mclean, and too little of state issues in the campaign for the next legislature, and continued: temperament not to be stampeded off my feet by the cry for popular elec- ! tion of United States senators until have seen it. tried on the dog for a while in states having the direct primary, but if anything would con- , vince me to an immediate change it legislature campaign revolving around this one issue.
 ''Of course we should exercise care and good judgment in selecting a United States Senator. Of course we should bear in mind with reverential regard the best traditions of this noble commonwealth in making the choice. But it is a grave misfortune that other important issues should be entire>y obscured in the canvass. The next General Assembly will be face to face Wtth some OI the largest proDleIhs IIht have confronted Connecticut Leg S. lature in many years. The public util- ities isue the two labor bills, the 'eTn- ployers' liability and the removal of the $5,OO0 limit for death damages, the extension of the policy of trade schools to maintain our supply of skilled la bor, the problem of conservation and development of our waterwa ys, and the proposed amendment of the federal constitution validating an income tax these are a few of the more impor- tant issues to be faced.
 s'It is interesting and important to know-if you can find out-whether John Doe, who wants to take his turn in representing his town in the Legis- 1ature, is for Mclean or Bulkeley; but it is also important to know what views he may entertain these other matters. It seems to me the people have right to know.''
