AUTOMOBILE NEWS.


Zone hundred thousand owners Of
automobiles will be included in the
American Automobile Association before
January l, 1912" confidently asserts
President Robert P. Hooper, land it is
my hope that we shall exceed this total
by a considerable number. The National
organization, with its State associations
and local clubs, is pronounced necessity
in obtaining the advancement and bet
tering of automobile conditions generally.
~ shall admit frankly that at one time
I had some doubt as to Federal aid in
roads building, but with the extending
interstate complexion of automobiling
it becomes more apparent and logical that
governmental participation in highway
progress is a certainty of the fairly imme-
date future
"Of course, through our State bodies,
we shall contend vigorously for State aid
and that we can accomplish much in this
direction has been demonstrated quite
conclusively. 1t should always be kept
in mind that the motorist is the most
persistent user of the roads, and the prob
lem of proper construction and economical
maintenance is one which now comes to
him without his seeking the task.
at is to be expected that in any organ
ization of National breadth there will be
examples of ineffective cooperation,
caused by Indifferent officers or internal
dissensions, common to clubs Of all kinds
1t is also an occasional happening that a
single club assumes to dictate beyond
its territorial confines, and the inevitable
result is temporary inning of working
at cross purposes, which confounds the
entire situation and supplies only mega
tive results.
"Such is the present condition in New
Jersey, and while it is to be deeply re-
GREETED that this may prevent a sensible
reciprocity clause being added to the
present law, have no doubt whatever
but that it will be established anew that
only through a State association can the
best kind of State laws be attained.
"Down in Kentucky, we find the large
club in its principal city unable, owing to
an unsuccessful reliability run, to pay its
dues into the State association, which has
possessed only two small clubs in addition
to the big one in Louisville, the entire |
total being 224 members. 1t is, Of course,
impossible for any affiliated member of
the A. A. A. to withdraw except with all
dues paid up to date. However, the
executive committee has taken the Ken
lucky situation in hand, and we shall
institute a membership campaign, the
success Of which is assured in advance.
Reports from all parts of the country
Indicate, with rare exception, a general
Increase in membership figures, with

The club was almost deserted that
summer afternoon as Leland strolled
through the empty rooms. One or
two elderly men craned their necks
around the backs of deep leather
chairs at the sound Of his clicking
boot heels on the polished floor, and
then they drew back into their shells
like very much disgusted turtles.
In one corner of the library Denny
Gushing was yaWning over news

"And the girl" added Leland cool

''What?" Denny sat up suddenly.
"What do you mean, Jack?"
Fudge! Forget it! Forget yourself
and listen to my adventures in the
land of the palm," ratified on Leland.

Spurious Works Attributed to Sterne

Spurious Works Attributed to Sterne,
The literary pirate was not the only
trouble Of the eighteenth century au-
thor. There were the concoctors and
publishers of spurious works under
his name, and Sterne suffered as heav-
lily from these as from the pirates.
The publication of the first two vol
umes Of 'Tristram Shandy' was fol-
lowed as soon as it was apparent that
the book was success by thiTl -,
written by a hack writer and boldly
attributed to Sterne. Several other
spurious works appeared in the au
thor's lifetime, and after his death his
pOsthumous works in two volumes
were obligingly written for him. us
were also three sets of his Origina!
Chronicle.
