OYSTER SUPPLY AMPLE.
Visitors to Wharf Today Will Find
No Scarcity Of Bivalves.

The vessels at the oyster wharf last
night had aboard about 1,500 bushels Of
Potomac and bay oysters. and as the tug
Camilla is expected to arrive this morn
ing with several oyster-carrying craft in
tow. the supply of oysters at the wharf
market today will be ample to meet all
demands from the throngs that visit the
wharf each Sunday for a. feast Of the BIZ
valves on the half SHELF or fresh
shocked.
Tho cooler weather has sent the whole
sale price up slightly. and the buyers OF
a bushel or two will have to pay from
% to 20 cents per bushel for them, and
in addition will have the shucker to pay
for opening them, unless they want to
try their skill with an oy ster knife.
The demand for oysters vas quite
brisk in the past week at 1.-THE wharf mar
ket, and vessels arriving here with sew
eral hundred bushels were able to sell
out In a couple of days ad to leave for
the oyster beds for another cargo. The
quality Of the Potomac stock continues
excellent, and the supply has been ample
to meet all demands.

Benefit for All Glasses.

Hugh Chalmers Of Detroit, who was
one Of the leading speakers, showed that
not only motorists, but all users of the
highway, are benefited by every ad-
ditional mile Of good roads. Farmers,
perhaps more than any other class. bene-
fit from good roads. They use the roads
more in their business"
Mr.. Chalmers address was on the re-
lation Of the automobile industry to the
good roads movement, and some OF the
strong facts he brought out were:
1T is the experience Of all the coun-
tries that have built good roads that
good roads benefit all people alike. and
that there is no single thing that a
state or nation can do which Is such
sure benefit to the people as to build
good roads. Every improvement that
ever was accomplished in this country
has to go through the three stages of
agitation, education and organization.
We have been going through the ag1-
tating part OF this program, and also the
educating part of 1t, and now we are
up to the organization, and 1t is through
this organization and similar organiza-
lions that we hope finally to accomplish
the thing We want.
Much criticism is heard regarding the
wear and tear that automobiles give to
the improved roads, and sometimes we
hear Of complaints against the use of
roads by motor cars. It Is fact and
not theory we are facing. The auto
mobile is here; we cannot keep it of
the roads. therefore it will be necessary
to build roads which motor vehicles will
not destroy, and road engineers must
look further ahead than merely the next
year or two. Before very long, I believe,
the big commercial trucks and heavier
vehicles Of that sort will be in general
use, and 1t will be necessary to have
roads that will Withstand the wear and
tear these big vehicles will cause.

ALL CLASSES Benefited
Mr.. Chalmers Discusses Relation Of
Motors to Movement.
SOME ILLINOIS LEGISLATION
Owners of Cars There Pay Several
Taxes and Contribute to High
way Development.

Never since the beginning of national
interest in good roads has so large a
number of automobilists, state and gov
eminent officials. highway commissioners
and engineers gathered together IN Amer
ica to discuss the different phases Of high
way Improvement as WAS seen me past
week In Richmond, Va, during the four
days Of the first American Road Con-
gress. President Taft struck the keynote
that was echoed through all Of the ad-
dresses by stating in his message to the
delegates that the development of good
roads is one of the most valuable as
sets of the country, and Of great value
to the public.
The first American congress was held
under the auspices Of the American As
ISOLATION for Highway Improvement,
which was organized year ago. One
of the most successful features Of the
congress was road users day" under
the auspices of the Touring Club of
America. The program for road users
day was under the personal direction of
Secretary f. H. Elliott Of the Touring
Club and brought out the opinions of
we'll known motorists, including repre-
sentatives Of many Of the large automo-
bile manufacturing plants, as we'll as
some Of the leading traffic experts of the
country.

Illinois Motor Vehicle Law.

Sidney s. Gorham, chairman of the
legislative committee Of the Chicago
Automobile Club, in explaining the I'LL
nois motor vehicle law, gave an inter-
esting resume of the growth Of motor
legislation.
AT first" he said, 1.-The right Of local
self-government was strenuously assert
ed. but the confusion resulting from the
use of number plates issued by a multi
tude of cities and villages, and the activ-
tiles of the interruptions speed trap op-
mercenary motives, and whose suppress
sion could best be accomplished by the
adoption of a state law fixing uniform
speed limits and prohibiting the adoption
OF local ordinances. gradually led to q
change of opinion on the part Of the pub
lie and the members of the legislative
bodies throughout the country. and re-
suited in the enactment in most Of the
states of statutes requiring the registra-
of state, fixing uniform speed limits and
prohibiting the enforcement Of local or
dinances.
I'm perhaps no other state do the mo-
florists directly contribute SO largely to
the funds provided for road improvement
as in Illinois Not only is the motorist
required by our laws to pay a personal
property tax on his car In addition to the
registration fee. varying from 81 to $40.
depending upon the horsepower OF the
| car registered, but he also is required by
many of the cities and villages to pay
| wheel tax of from $40 to $50 per year
before he shall be permitted to drive
| his car within the limits of such munich
palities."

q. 8. Has Worst Roads.

1.-The United States has the worst roads
of any civilized country. The cost of
hauling over country roads is q cents a
ton to the mile. In European countries
1t Is less than 10 cents q mile. Despite
tho bad roads, 1t is we'll to remember
that we have learned how to build au-
tomobiles so they may stand the pound
ing on any kind OF road and will get
through places impossible to all other
vehicles"
Maj. Richard Sylvester, superintendent
of metropolitan police, District of Co.
lumbia in his address on Traffic Rules
and Regulations" paid high compli-
ment to the traf1c regulations which
have been worked out by the New York
police department, stating that the sue
cess in New York had led other munich
palities to adopt similar plans. In this
connection he said:
1.-THE action of the New York authori-
ties prompted renewed activity on the
part Of other municipalities in the matter
Of systematic conduct Of moving vehicles,
and Washington, st. Louis, Chicago. De-
troit, Louisville and cities of lesser pop
ulation went forward in making en-
deavor to improve upon inferior methods.
Not only were modern rules for the road
authorized and the police and the public
informed in accordance with them, but
specially selected members of the police
forces were assigned to these important
duties"

SESSIONS HAS A SCHEME.
Would Turn Ducks Onto State House
Grounds to Eat the DandeIions.

Has anyone in or near Topeka a big
flock of ducks that are hungry and just
aching to get into the finest green pas
ture in the state? If they have a con-
ference with Charles Sessions, secretary
of state, might produce results and the
ducks might have the whole state house
lawn for a pasture, provided that they ate
the dandelionS-
Sessions received a letter today showing
that tame ducks are exceptionally fond
of dandelion green's, even taking to the
green's as to water and that they pick off
the plants clear to the tap root and if
the leaves are kept off the plants finally
die. The state executive council has been
trying all sorts of schemes to kill the dam
full. SO the herding of a flock of ducks
on the grounds may be tried next.
