MAN WITH THE SHOTGUN
Important Parsonage in Texas Road
Making Discovered by Pilot Of
the Pathfinder Car.

Next TO his wife and family and a big
cigar. Dai H Lewis. the plump and
ruddy-faced route maker of the
American Automobile association, rel
ishes good road. He knows all about
roads and breaches the gospel Of high

the Giidden pathfinding trip.
Probably the very best going the
Chalmers 49," logging this years
tour. has encountered was ten miles of
hard clay pike entering Dallas, Texas
The county road commissioners take
great pride IN that pike and are rap
idly extending 1t. A car can go forty
miles az hour over this road while
man reads q newspaper in the rear
scar. Coming into Dallas the path
finder, escorted by President Sack
steder OF the Dallas Dealers club came
to a spot where a score of men with
mules and scrapers were busy building
more pike.
That's what I like to see" Dali ex-
claimed. Look at ell those sturdy
farmers digging away to improve the
read. That's enterprise Those men
have the right spirit and more fore
sight than the average. Say, 1 wonder
what that fellow over there with a
shotgun thinks he's going TO get here"
Lewis pointed to a lean, swarthy
young man on a pony.
He is waiting for one of those en-
terprising road makers to slide out OF
place He's a prison guard and those
are convicts," said Sacksteder.

AUTO MAKERS HAVE
TObE ON WATCH
Order Issued by Pierce-AroW
Manufacturers Shows
Necessity of Caution.

An mixing OF the lengths TO which
motor car manufacturers have TO go
TO protect their names is shown by an
order issued recently at the Pierce-Ar-
row Motor Car company's plant at Buff
falo that hereafter all parts such as
castings and forginss that have been
rejected by the inspection department
must be broken up before being sent TO
the scrap heap. Behind the order lies
a rather unique instance OF perverted
enterprise on the part Of a certain Buff
faionian-
It came to the ears OF one OF the Of
ftcials of the Pierce-Arrow company
short time ago that q Pierce-Arrow
motor was for sale by g man in no wise
connected with the motor car business
in Buffalo. 1t was thought decidedly
worth while to investigate the matter,
the so-called Pierce-Arrow motor was
one almost entirely built OF parts that
had been rejected at the plant and sold
to dealer in scrap.
A man with some knowledge OF motor
car assembly had bought these parts
work on them and given his product
the high-grade label. Many Of the
parts used were but little more than
thOuSdndth of an inch out Of accurate
measurement, and, although they were
serviceable for the purpose for which
they were used, had not been up to
Pierce-Arrow requirements and were
accordingly thrown aside.
The factory took the necessary steps
to stop the sale OF the so-cailed
"Pterce-Arrow" motor. and these were
followed at once by the order to break
to make another such experience i'm
possible.

The New York Globe of June 25,
1909, said:
Mr.. Clarkson has achieved his main
reputation in the automobile world by
organizing, building up and conducting
the famous mechanical branch of the
Licensed association, perhaps the fore
most body of its kind in the world Its
work has been largely of a pioneer
nature and IT has admittedly raised
to a hitherto unrealiZed degree the
standardization of automobile con-
struction. In addition to editing four
annual issues OF the standard Hand
book of Gasoline Automobiles, Mr..
Clarkson has further been in charge
OF the active publicity department Of
his association. He is lawyer, a
graduate Of Harvard Of the class of
1894, is yet under 40 years of age, and
is a son OF Gen James s Clarkson,

custoned to the west At the con-
clusion OF little experience he had
yesterday morning he announced 1T his
deliberate conclusion that the people
in this neck of the woods are TOO lit
eral IN their acceptance of what
Snowman says.
Fleming, at the end of his lecture,
always offers the use of the aeroplane
some young woman out for g sail
above the clouds He has a nice line
of talk that goes with the proffer, too
inviting, it seems, at least for the
springtime, when young mans fancy is
supposed to lightly turn to thoughts
OF love, for yesterday morning when
Fleming reached the Orpheum he found
there awaiting his coming young
couple. The young man stated their
mission.
I'VE were at the show last night" he
began. You offered the use of the
airship to any young man who wanted
to take his girl out And-wen, were

Beams from the young lady, while
sadness and perplexity encircled the
Fleming visage. Fleming stalled That
Is, he stalled when he recovered the
power of speech.

said But I don't see how 1 can get
the airship out of the theatre"
This appealed to him as a splendid
idea and he began to elaborate me

Young lady, who may live in the coun-

Once more gloom and added perplex-
ity surrounded the Fleming V1sage,
while both the young people laughed
in sympathy. just as II something
funny had happened.
Fleming then struck a new line OF
explanation This time ne tolo the
whole truth:
asYou see. we need a gasoline en-
CINE in order TO make the airship run
In the exhibition we give in the thea
ire we have to use an electrical en-
CINE because it would be dangerous

This explanation convinced the
Young couple that a real flight would
be impracticable and they compromised
with Fleming by accepting his invita-

is GOOD ROADS ADVOCATE

An announcement CT more than ordi-
nary interest in automobile circles
yesterday was the election OF Freder-
lex H. Elliott as secretary or the TOUR
ing Club of America
In accepting this office Mr.. Elliott
has rendered his resignation as secre-
tary OF the American Automobile assoc
citation, a post he has held for three
and one-ha1f years. During this Pc
Rod Mr.. Elliott has become widely
known to motorists all over the coun-
try. His success in organization work,
in stimulating the rapidly increasing
interest in the good roads movement,
supplemented more recently by the en-
ergetic campaign he has carried on IN
cooperation with Charles Thaddeus
Terry for a national registration law,
are well known to all wide-awake 6u-
tomobilists.
Mr.. Elliott, as secretary OF the Tour
ing Club of America, has also been
elected to the board of directors and
with every detail OF its management
Mr.. Elliott went to New York from
Syracuse in January, 1907, to assume
the secretaryship of the American Au-
William H. Hotchkiss Of Buffalo, now
state superintendent Of insurance, was
elected president. Mr.. Elltotts three
and a half years stands as a record TO
an elective office in the A A A.
Before going to New York Mr.. FL
lott had acquired a wide knowledge Of
automobile organization, having been
one of the founders of the Automobile
club of Syracuse, serving as its secre
tary and treasurer for several years.
Mainly through his efforts the New
York State Automobile association was
organized in 1903, of which he was the
first secretary, while Mr.. Hotchkiss
was the first president
This well-earned experience and Ia
miliarity with automobile conditions
will hereafter be devoted toward en-
larging the field of the Touring Club
Of America and making this body a
great national touring organization
similar in scope to the large European
touring clubs having for their object
the compilation OF accurate touring in
formation for immediate use by motor
lists desiring to travel in any part of
the world.
Coincident with this important
change comes the announcement that
the Touring Club Of America has re-
moved from its old quarters in West
Fifty fourth street, New York, to its
new home, with vastly improved ac-
cOmmOdations, at Broadway and Sew
enty-Sixth street, where several spa
cious floors have been fitted up for the
members and exceptional accommoda-
tions provided for studying route maps
and all the other touring facilities pro-
v1ded by the club.

A party Of Denver men is said to be
considering a site near the new Denver
& Rio Grande railroad with view
to erecting new hotel. Just how large
the structure will be cannot be given
out at present, but IT is intended to
erect a first-class hosiery for the &C
commodation of visitors, especially
travelling men. It Is pointed out that
the advantages of location will be IN
surpassed when the new depot is
opened and the securing Of a site for
the location is Of great Importance at
this time.

NEW AUTO JOURNAL ISSUED.
Premier Company Prints Publication
for Benefit of Trade.


for Benefit of Trade.
a new automobile publication. the
Motor News, has just been issued by
the Premier Manufacturing company
in the interests of Premier owners and
dealers. It is distinctly house organ,
but has an individuality in this line,
inasmuch as IT is far different from
any other magazine published by an
automobile concern. The approximate
size of a daily newspaper has been
chosen and a heavy paper used, so
that the many cuts In the publication
show UP with remarkable clearness,
and the Typography is of the best. In
this paper the interests of Premier
cars are gathered together from all
parts of the country and are submit
ted in d most pleasing and interesting
form. A large part of the material
used has been clipped from daily news
papers in other cities, so that this col
lection represents the unbiased ac-
counts of actual occurrences. It is
being sent to Premier owners and
dealers and to ali motorists who may
desire it

MAY BE A "SLOW" RECORD,
EMF $50" Make. Mile In 81 Minutes
on High Speed.

Here's what looks Ike the slow
speed automobile record of the world
G. A Galloway, lumber merchant,
Holdredge, Neb.. (private owner of an
EMF "3o"), made a wager the other
day that he could run his car for any
distance on high speed at two miles
an hour without slipping the clutch
or stopping the motor. Under the con-
ditions he was not permitted to touch
his clutch pedal. He succeeded IN run
ming a full mile under these condi-
lions in thirty-two minutes. But for
the fact that his record is vOuched for
by many people who witnessed the
feat, It would seem almost impossible.
Even the advertisements Of the EMF
company have never credited the car
with less than four miles an hour on
high speed.
