by securing an interchange of views of
visitors as to what is best TO be done
in the way of good roads for all kinds of
vehicles and the best methods of throw
ing safety about those who use the roads.
To secure these results the chairman
of the show committee, DR.. H. NJ. Rowe
on the opening day of the exhibition will
appoint a committee of fifty from the
members of the board of governors, the
dealers and others. This committee will
have as chairman Joseph NJ. Zamoiskl
The members will entertain and talk
with the patrons, with the aim to secure
their ideas about roads. automobilins.
etc, and also enlist them in the efforts
to have such legislation passed by the
present assembly as will further the gen.
eral interests.
Within the next four days several
amendments to the laws governing the
use Of vehicles on public highways are to
be introduced at Annapolis These will be
explained to the visitors, especially those
from the counties, and their support IN
the passage of them asked.
In speaking of these amendments, Dr.
Rowe said yesterday that they Were so
far as he comprehended them. by no
means drastic. but aimed to secure the
greatest good to the general public.
The amendment in which the Automo-
bile club is most interested, he said, re-
quires vehicles of every description trav-
cling at night to carry light. Ihis, ne
said, aims for the general safety of those
who travel, irrespective of the vehicle IN
which they ride.
By a general interchange of views the
committee, 1t is thought, will garner
much valuable information which will re-
suit in cooperative work.
AS a side issue to the last three days o.
the show, when the commercial cars are
to be exhibited, the committee has Sc

In a statement just issued by w. w.

Association for Highway improvement.
an earnest plea is made to the farmers
of the country to join forces. with a
view to improving country highways
which radiate from market towns or
Broadly speaking" says President
Finley in his statement country high
ways may be divided into two general
classes-those which may be denominated
trunk lines, running for long distances
and connecting the cities and towns
along their routes. and those which
radiate from a market town or shipping
station.
1.-THE first of these classes-the trunk
line highways-afford ideal routes for
especially those most frequented by tour
lists, where the construction OF trunk
line highways of this class is highly de-
sirable, and their, Improvement neces-
sarily benefits the farmers adjacent to

ity tour? This is the ques-
w ton which is now puzzling
the contest board Of the
American Automobile association. This
tour in former years has been known as
the ''Glidden tour and will probably not
be recognized by the new title which 1t
will assume this year.
At the meeting of the American Auto
mobile Association next month the ex-
ecutive committee will discuss the matter
and render it's decision. Every indica-
ton is that this event will be more sue
cessful than ever before in its history.
Charles J. Glidden, donor of the famous
trophy bearing his name, has filed entry
No. l, thus becoming the first amateur
to place himself on record as being a
positive contestant for the \. A. A.
$1,000 national trophy.
1t Is inevitable that the 1912 event, like
that of f911, will give a great impetus to
good roads enthusiasm in the country
through which the tour passes. In like
manner the tours of various A. A. a.
state associations will bring substantial
results of the same kind. One of the
newest of the associations to consider a
good roads reliability run is the Maine
furthering highways Improvement in the
Pine Tree state. Chairman Hoegg of it's
contest board outlines the Maine plan
In these words: Our idea is to run a
tour of from two to four days duration,
with battery of good roads speakers
to hold good roads rallies at night; during
the day We will endeavOr to hold meetings
with the county commissioners and road
commissioners along the route, and in
every way possible boom the good roads
movement"
Both the. Minnesota and Wisconsin
state associations, which have made pro-
nounced successes Of good roads tours In
the past, will repeat their efforts dur
ing the coming summer, with vastly in
creased fields and a superabundance of
interest From all parts of the country
information comes to the A. A. A. as to

noon were very satisfactory and the

Several chatrmen Of committees
took occasion this noon. to express the
hrm opinion that the campaign of the
last few days has been a splendid
thing In arousing enthusiasm regard
ing the work Of the club. 1t has also
given an opportunity to members IF
the organization to meet with business
people of the city generally. to get
their viewpoint and to explain to them
Just what the Commercial club is and
what It really IL trying to do for

are being used very extensively by the
members. Noon l%uncheons are being.
on and the pool and billiard equip

The committees. however. are not
emphasizing this feature Of the club

partly by the enthusiasm and by the
community interest as expressed
through the Commercial club.
