DON'T FEAR FRESH AIR

With the approach of winter comes 10
creased danger from pneumonia through
bad air. Fearof cold leads to overhested
rooms, and in these rooms death Turks.
A warning issued by the Chicago board
OF healthis timely and deserving of care
ful consideration. It says:
In home, store and factory people are
not getting so much good, safe air as they
have been getting during all the summer
months, says the bulletin. Pneumonia
is specified as dry air disease, caused BY
dry and ogerheated air.
Most people keep their homes too warm
as a rule about 20 degreee rather than be-
low. Experts on ventilation and room
temperature tell US that temperature OF
68 for people that are properly clad, and
who are in good health, is far better than
q higher temperature, say 20 or above.
Another important matter is humidity.
Most indoor air is too dry, as well a. too
warm. Especially is this true during the
cold weather season. 1t is a good plan
for those who live in fats or steam heated
apartments to have evaporating vessels
allotted to the radiators aud kept filed
with water, In houses heated with hot
air furnaces the evaporating pan in the
furnace should be kept filed.

G[|OOEN TOUR
ROUTE FOR JUNE
IS IS MAPPED
Reciprocity Run from Washing
ton to Ottawa Will Be Incen-
tive to Big Canadian Sales.

Although the pathfinding trip for the
"Glidden Reciprocity Tour from
Washington, D. c., to Ottawa ana
otherwise the eighth annual tour of the
American Automobile Association. has,
been completed and the route entirely
mapped, the Contest Board is not in
a position to %nou full details as
yet. he complete itinerary, with all
controls and night stops, also the place
where the hill climbing contest is to
be held, cannot be made public owing
TO the fact hat certain negotiations
with hotels for accommodation of the
tourists are still pending. Official an
nouncement will be made within a few
days.
The contest, as is we'll known, will
take place June 10 to '26, including
seven running days between the two
capitals. 1t will be one of the most
picturesque tours ever held.
Perhaps a number of manufacturers
and others in the industry do not fully
realize what the Canadian reciprocity
agreement means. 1t is of far greater
Importance to the automobile industry
than the average man imagines. The
reduction of duty on American-made
cars from IS to 30 per cent. opens up
a wider channel for American goods to
flow across the border and bring a rich
market for cars closer to our doors,
According to one prominent manufac-
turer, Canada within the next few
years will be buying loads of cars of
the utility type for use in its vast
grain region. When one stops to think
hat 4 the United States more than
10000 farmers use automobiles and
that half of there are grain producers
who find motor cars economical in
their business, it is not difficult to fore
see that Canada, with it's enormous
grain industry, the vastness of which
scarcely can be conceived, shortly will
follow suit n adopt the motor car on
a much greater scale.
1t is obvious hat the coming con-
test, which includes SO many towns
and cities in the Dominion, will ac-
celerate considerable interest in the
motor car in that territory. In the
past in this country wherever the tour
has wendell its way each season thai
leITllOTy CONeIeQ has seen a marked
increase in the sale of cars during the
next few months and the seasons fol-
lowing. A trail of interest and a crav-
ing for cars has been left behind. Now
an excellent opportunity is offered
American manufacturers to invade a
field which will be found in a cordially
receptive mood, rather than an antago-
nistic one, as is the case with some of
the foreign markets.
Incidentally, the manufacturers who
contemplate entering the Glidden reci-
procity tour will do well to remember
that they must have their stock certifi-
Gates of description filed with the con-
test board of the A. A. A.. not later
thar May 20. No car will be eligible
10 start in the tour until its registra-
tion number has been assigned and its
certificate of registration issued by the
contest board. This rule will be abso-
Lutte.
A number of makers have written
asking if 1912 stock models arc eligible.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1911-05-13

These will not be eligible for entry un-
less they can comply with the stock
car definition of the 1911 contest rules.
m the minimum of twenty-five cars of
such model actually must have been
built prior to the start of the tour,
The touring car class, in which tour
ing cars will compete for the Washing
ton trophy as well as for the Glidden
trophy, will be divided into seven
divisions of class A, as follows:
Division Ia. $500 and under; division
"a. $SO1 to 81, 200; division SA, 81, POI to
$1,000; division "A, s1,6o1 to 49, 900;
division ga, $2,001 to SO, 900; division ga.
$S,001 to $4,000; division IA, $4,oO1 and
over.
Contesting cars in the runabout and
miniature onnea class for the Ottawa
trophy, as well as the Glidden trophy,
including Surveys and single or double
rumble-seated cars, will be divided into
the same seven divisions of class A as
regards price. Touring cars and run
abouts will not compete together in the
same class. Referring to the price
classification, the cost of lamps, light
ing equipment, speedometers, tops,
shields and other similar Access
series do not enter into computation
of the cars. However, IL extra equip
ment is a germaine part of the car,
and said equipment or part is liable to
penalization for work thereon or for
defective condition at the final exami-
nation (technicaD, its cost price must
be included in computing the price
classification of the car. Entry fees
are as follows: One car, $3.50; two cars
by same entry, $500; three cars by
same entry, $500, and each additional
a by the same entry, $500.
A full complement of passengers
must be carried the full route, touring
cars carrying -four or more persons and
