The destruction of breeding places for
urged in the report of DR.. A. A. Snyder,
chairman Of the public health committee
OF the Georgetown Citizens Association,
at the April meeting of that organization
last night. The report is the result of
several months of study and observation
on the part Of DR.. Snyder and his COL
leagues on proper sanitary measures for
Georgetown this spring and the coming
summer.
The report was approved by the associa-
ton. and tentative plans were formed for a
campaign that has for its object the de-
struction OF possible breeding places for
flies and other places that are likely to
develop into media for the spread OF
disease.
Health Office Asked to Assist.
1t is designed to seek the cooperation
of the District health officers, and with
their assistance create public sentiment
for general cleaning up west of Rock

the street was formally opened seven
years ago. and damages assessed prob
ably a year later for grading, paving and

planned, has never materialized.
Street a Mudhole.
THE street is veritable mudhole and
a disgrace to the community. If it re-

the comment Of j. Hadley Doyle.
The meeting adjourned after the pass

IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

public schools of the District during the
ensuing year were discussed at the an
nual meeting Of the League for the Dec
Grafton Of Public Schools, held at the
Octagon House, 18th street and New
York avenue, yesterday afternoon. 1t
was decided that instead Of one person
looking after the work Of the schools,
the matter should be placed in the hands
OF a league committee. This was done.
It was stated, because it was thought to
be more work than should be expected of
one persep.
League Work Appreciated.
Just what schools will receive attention

Miss NJ. Gertrude Young. and from the
supervising principal Of the division in
which the school is included, E. G. Kim

the Carbery were decorated during the
year just past. it was explained at yes
terday's meeting.

league, asked the members to cooperate
to get 1000 members for the organiza-
ton. Its present membership is about

HUDSONS ARRIVE

A big lot of the fine, new Hudson
"3S" autos arrived in the Lurline to-

several people who have been await
ing their appearance will be made
happy in a very few days.
It appears that three of these cars
were shipped originally, and were
followed a few days later by three
more. These punched together at San
Francisco, with the result that they
have arrived here together.
The Associated is just now having
quite a run on the Hudsons, which are
top-notchers for the price in the Isl

isfaction here, under all kinds of con-
ditions.
The work on the engagements to

CADILLAC MAKES

'br of the new Cadillac Torpedo car
suddenly commenced to whir-f'r, start
ling the bystanders, who jumped
aside, for the moment forgetting they
were in the Garden instead of on
Fifth avenue. Mrs. Newlywed, hand
somely gowned, was embarrassed. in
to hubby how she was 60
ing to drive the car when they got
it, she moved the spark lever, ignit-
ing the charge in one of the cylin-
ders Although the car had been thor
oughly drained Of gasoline, it had
held its last charge of gas ever since
it left the factory, week or more
before.
An equally remarkable instance OF
longsustained cylinder compression
was brought to light not long ago in
Seattle, Wash, by NJ. S. Brigham, the
Cadillac dealer in that city.
Mr.. Brigham received a shipment Of
cars, and when the first one was
run down from the freight
platform, he took his seat and, with
out preliminary cranking of the en-
CINE, started the car on the spark
alone. This was done by simply ig-
hitting the charge of gas which had
been refined in the cylinder from the
time it left the Cadillac factory at
Detroit two weeks before.

The steamer Sierra yesterday
brought for the Won Hamm-Young
Company one of the finest cars which
has come to Honolulu for quite a
while. This is a 1911 Model 80 6-cyl-
Under Peerless touring car with tor
pedo body. This car, which costs ov-
err $4,000 at the factory, develops
about 80 actual horsepower and
should therefore be we'll able to lower
all records for around the island trips.
This beautiful car has a very sim.
pie motor, perfectly balanced, self
oiling, and has the most complete ig-
milton system ever used. The cylin.
ders are cast in pairs with Offset in
take and exhaust valves on opposite
sides. The pistons and rings are turn
ed and ground on all bearing surfaces,
after which they are assembled and
polished to a hard glossy surface in
q special tapping machine, which in

large, and so designed that the cool
ed water is taken in on the exhaust
or hot side of the motor and discharg
ed from the top over the compression
chamber. The crank case is a one
piece aluminium casting, very strong,
of sufficient weight to give great rigid
ity to the motor, eliminating vibra-
ton to the greatest possible extent.
The crank shaft is made from one
solid piece; is heat treated and the
bearings ground accurately to size.
The transmission is of the selective
type, four speeds forward and one
reverse. The very best material is
used entirely in the Peerless chassis
and not a detail omitted to make
1t an absolutely perfect car.
The beautiful torpedo body is de-
signed for the greatest comfort of the
passenger. Exceptional care and pains
taking methods are used for the up
holstering and finish, and all details
have been developed to the highest
point of perfection.
The fortunate owner of this car is
Mr.. Aug. Dreier, Jr., for whom the car
was specially ordered sometime ago.

.GLIDOEN TROPHY
AND CHALMERS CAR

One OF the features of the Chicago
automobile show which has attracted
a great deal Of attention is the Gid
den trophy. This is the first time
the most famous of motor endurance
prizes has been shown at a Chicago
automobile show AS in New York,
where it was shown for the first time.
at the Madison Square Garden show,
1t is always the center of a large
crowd. This trophy, which was do
mated by Charles j. Glidden, has been
contested for seven times. The 1910
tour was the hardest in the history
of the Glidden event, and extended
from Cincinnati to Chicago by way
of Dallas, Texas, over 1851 miles Of
the worst roads in the United States.
The Glidden trophy is shown in the
exhibit of the Chalmers Motor Com
pany, having been won in 1910 by n
Chalmers $50" touring car, which was
driven in the tour by William Bolger.
This is the first time since Glidden
trophy was put up for competition
that it has ever been won by car
costing less than $4,000. Chicago has
been particularly interested in this
famous trophy because that city was
the terminal of the 1910 tour.
