MOVE To LIMIT
DEMONSTRATIONS
OF AUTO TRUCKS
Trade Association to Draw Up
Working Agreement for
Dealers.

The agitation that has been fomentinS
for some time among the dealers in COM
mercial motor vehicles against the Excess
sive demands for expensive demonstra-
tons by people who sometimes have no
intention to purchase a truck, came to a
head this week when a meeting of the va
Tious agents who handle this style of mo-
tor vehicle was held at the Hotel Wash
ington to confer as to the best means TO
put a stop to this evil hat has become
SO prevalent of late. Representatives of
the Mack, Grabowsky, White, Packard,
CONNER, Pierce-Arrow. Morgan, Mas and
other makes We're present, and 1t was ten
tatively agreed that the various agencies
should give but one days demonstration of
the trucks without cost, and that subse-
quent demonstrations should be paid for
by the applicant.
According to one prominent dealer inter-
viewed by the STAR representative yes
terday, 1t is hoped that this rule will APP
ply to all commercial motor vehicle dem
onstrations and will result in the saving
of hundreds of dollars uselessly spent by
the dealers. This agent stated also that
the matter has been referred in its en-
tirety to the New Jersey Automobile
Trade Association, and that President
Blakeslee, of that body. will call a meet
ing of the association during the coming
week. at which time a working agreement
among the commercial truck dealers will
be drawn up.
There is no question but that the dealers
have been imposed upon ~greatly-eVen
the business-by persons desiring practi-
callY fake demonstrations from first one
dealer and then another until in some
cases a firm has been able. by going from
one agent to another. to get the use of 4
motor truck for long periods of time with
out cost of any kind.
1t is expected that the new order of
things if formally adopted by the deal
ers will revolutioniZe the method of dem
onstrating commercial vehicles to pros
pectiVe customers.

LAST AUTO RUN !
Of SEASON IS ON
FOR TOMORROW
Big Game Dinner at Apshawa to
Mark Closing of Clubs
Summer Home.

The last %sociability automobile run sched-
uled for the 1911 season by the contest
committee of the New Jersey Automo-
bile and Motor Club will take place to-
morrow. and If the weather is propitious
1t promises to be the biggest event Of it's
kind held this year by the organization,
as nearly Il hundred cars have entered
for the twenty-six mile jaunt to the coun-
try home of the club at Lake Apshawa,
near Butler, N. j.
Clarence e. Fisher, chairman of the
committee having the run in charge. an
nounced yesterday that all arrangements
had been completed for handling a bis
crowd and that fun and sociability would
reign supreme during the afternoon and
that the game, killed within sight of the
clubhouse, would delight the palate of
an epicure, while the souvenirs provided
for the ladies would please the feminine
fancy immensely.
The ears, as stated in the STAR last
Saturday, will be permitted to make the
run to the clubhouse at any time they
please, but all are expected to be at the
lake before 2:30 p. ~, at which time the
dinner will be served.
In addition to this being the last run
OF. the season.. it will mark the closing of
the country club for the winter, as next
Tuesday is the date set for the retnoval
of the clubs social activities to the town
house in Park place, and it is rumored
that it will be the final gathering al
mously during it's two-year occupancy Of
the Apshawa property that it has entire
ly outgrown its old quarters, and there is
imperative necessity for more room and
larger accommodations to take care of the
members and their friends. 1t is expect
ed that before spring the club will build
a handsome and commodious clubhouse
in a more accessible spot to Newark than
the Apshawa property, and will then he
able to commodat comfortably the
many visitors who enjoy an automobile

BAD ROADS COST
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

How the people of the United States
lose millions of dollars every year through
bad roads is graphically told by an I'm
perial automobile driver of Atlanta after
completing an eighteen days trip around
Georgia.
I'VE were gone eighteen days and it
rained every day but two. We were in
mud from one to two feet deep five miles
at a time. We passed through stretches
of water without even seeing the road fos
three and four hundred yards at a time.
We went through one place that was Sc
frightfully severe on an automobile that
no car ought to be sent into It,. We saw
at least a dozen cars that had to be pulled
out, but luckily the Imperial was not one
Those roads were practically impossible
for any kind of vehicles except powerful
motor cars Farmers could not take their
products to market through such quag-
mires. Commerce Is almost stopped by the
awful condition of the roads. The cost al
living is actually boosted by the extra
money it takes to get goods to market
through such roads,

Discretionary road sign being used by the
New Jersey Automobile and Motor Club.

Discretionary road sign being used by the
New Jersey Automobile and Motor Club,
the trunk routes over the well-Know
tours.
During the past two years the New Jer-
sey Automobile and Motor Club has done
a great deal of hard work along these
same lines, but has now embarked on q
colossal plan that will eventually have
every crossroad and every fork through
out the entire length and breadth of
New Jersey plainly marked with legible
Discretionary signs.
The present roads committee of the
club, of which William Bittle is chair
man, has already placed nearly a thou
sand signs in position, and expect to
nave several thousand put up before the
spring touring season begins. and the
work of this automobiling organization
along these lines Is to be highly com
mended, as the signs are of great benefit
to all users of the public highways,
whether motorists or otherwise.
The sign adopted this year is one of the
most easily read hat has ever appeared,
having a white background with a huge
index finger pointing the proper direction,
with the club initials in the cuff. The
name of the town is shown in vivid red.
Usually the signs are being placed at
each point, one showing the next tow
and the other the through point of desti-
nation.
The service car of the club is now on
the road almost daily, under the direc-
ton of J. Fl. Parker, who is superintend-
ing the placing of the friendly %placards.

DISCRETIONARY
SIGNS ARE GREAT
HELP On ROAD
New Jersey Auto and Motor
Club Rapidly Signing the
Ia. State.

To the tourist, to the motorist who is
out for a days run over roads he is not
entirely familiar with, to the driver who
has unconsciously lost his way at night,
and for the explorer in the by-paths and
unfrequented roads the easily-read and
convenient Discretionary sign-post is one
of the most comforting sights that can
greet the eyes of the anxious pilot at the
wheel. OF course, the man to whom the
highways and byways near his native
city is as familiar as the path leading to
his own Doorstep may be inclined some
times to pass the modest sign with scant
courtesy and not realize its inestimable
value, but put him in a distant county
or out of his State on an extended tour
and, even though he provide himself with
the best of road maps, he looks with
thankfulness at the directionary arrow
or finger when he comes to the inevitable
puzzling crossroad or debatable fork.
The Automobile Club Of America long
ago realized this means of doing a splen-

and erected many arrow signs in all parts
