AUTOMOBILE NOTES

The Touring Club nj America.
under the direction OF Fred IL.
Elliott, its publicity manager. will
inaugurate in the near future a sta
tisticai bureau for the purpose of
compiling facts and figures for the
automobile industry as TO the exact
amount OF space the newspapers
throughout the country devote to the
trade and sport interests,
This looks TO he one Of the most
commendable movements for all
parties concerned Yet attempted, and
Ii carried out TO the fullest extent
of Its purpose Should do more TO
acquatnt the automobile manufac-
turer with the attitude and platform
of the newspapers all over the coun-
try than, any other system that could
be suggested.
Ii Is the desire OF the manufacturers
at least that portion of manufac-
turers who are interested in the ma
tional advancement OF the automo-
bile industry---to eliminate the much
over estimated shor-worn publicity,
and TO acquaint themselves With the
new school of only promoting such
movements as will develop a general
result. This new idea of things
seems to have true ring and should
be heartily Endorsed by every Amerl-
can manufacturer.
If certain physician with an in
vestigating turn of mind has his way
straw hats will become the universal
headgear of motorists. BY scientific
research this physician has discovered
that a close fitting cap such as is
commonly worn by an automobiles
is the warmest headgear available.
He found the Panama hat to be the
coolest of all head covering there is.
Because OF this startling discovery
this physician attributes all fool
driving and accidents to the cause
that the drivers brain was over
heated by his close fitting cap.
A novel transcontinental tour Is
