THE LAFAYETTE
JOURNAL TALKS
OF THE SCOUTS
CONTAINED A DOUBLE COLUMN
PICTURE OF CAR AND LONG
STORY ON THE DAY THE PARTY
REACHED THAT CITY.

The Lafayette, Ind, Journal boosted
the Pensacola scouts on the day the
party reached that city, the paper car
rying double column picture and the
following story:
"At $40 o'clock yesterday evening
the Gulf-to-the-Lakes scout party ar
rived in Lafayette from Indianapolis,
and their speedometer showed exactly
1000 miles travelled since they left
on the long trip to Chicago. They
were accompanied to Lafayette by sew
eral Indianapolis motorists. They will
leave this morning for Chicago and the
end of their trip, going by way of
Rensselaer, and Crown Point, and Will
be met by a delegation of cars from
Chicago on the road.
Object of Tour.
THE object of the trip is to scout
out a Gulf-to- the-Lakes route-one
that can be utilized at all times of
the year for the increasing automobile
travel between the north and the south
and one also that can be adopted by
the official automobile Blue Book as the
most available between the lakes and
the gulf. From Nashville to Chicago a
route has already been designated and
is clearly outlined in the Blue Book,
but no route from the gulf to Nashville
has ever been adopted.
$4,000 Being Spent.
THE scout party IS being sent out by
the Pensacola Commercial Association
The primary purpose of the trip is tc
put Pensacola on the automobile map.
While many routes satisfactory for au-
tomobile travel have been charted and
are given in the automobile Blue Book
Pensacola is not located on any OF
these. The Commercial Association
has set aside $50. 900 to be spent at the
rate of $4,000 a year for three years ir
arousing interest and fostering the
spirit necessary for good road building
and the trip which will put Pensacola
in the Blue Book for automobile traf-
fic is a part of the general campaign
being waged along these lines by the
west coast city.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Vaudeville at Opera House,

A large audience was present last
night at the opera house to witness
the high class vaudeville bill which
is on for the last half of the week.
The seven large acts are well balanc-
ed and were all well received.
The opening act is Mettie Maude.
the pianologue girl, and is a fairly
good act The second number, Cas-
mus and Lamar, who call themselves
the South's greatest yoddlers, are very
good indeed and capture the audience
at the beginning of their act. Their
duets are better than their solos, but
all Of their selections are catchy ones
and just the kind that please an au-
dience. The little lady is quite pref
ty, and beauty in the bill this week
seems to have been left out, except
In this act
Denniclxe and Gentry, a musical
pair, are very funny and their
musical surprises are very good,
but while the music is good and their
dialogues funny, 1t is better to look
another way than toward the stage
they won't bear inspection. Kenneth
r. Waite, the English comedian, is
probably very good, but last night he
was forced to cut his act short and
his hoarseness prevented him from
doing himself Justice, although he
was well received.
Alma and Howard give a Military
Storiette, The Old Arm Chair, but
which hasn't much to commend it as a
storfette. 1t is planned to give an ex-
cuse for singing about the uniting Of
the Blue and the Gray.
Davis and Hodge are a merry pair
and their act takes we'll with the au-
dience. Davis does some clever dane
ing and he is very amusing. The
last act, Woods Animal Actors, con-
sisting of dogs and monkeys, is one
