INSTRUCTIONS ON ROADS
Motorists Complain That They
Meet Unnecessary Risks.

There has been a noticeable increase
recently In the number of automobile ac-
cidents on the main travelled highways.
and several automobiles have called al
the Touring Club of America complaining
OF the distractions which they found
along the roads, which can be seen In the
daytime. but at night are not discernible.
In some localities 1t is reported that the
road contractors leave their parapher-
malta too close to the edge Of the high
ways. so that cars In passing are liable
to strike the obstructions, resulting in
serious II not fatal accidents
In building new state roads the con-
tractors have failed to reset some OF the
posts which hold the rural free delivery
boxes An automobile travelling over tho
main thoroughfare from Syracuse TO

'GuDDEN LIST LENCTHENS
Score OF Cities May Compete
for Coveted Trophy.
HISTORIC SPOTS EN- ROUTE
Time Will Be Allowed to Visit
Lincoln Memorial and
Battlefields.

Never in the history of the American
! Automobile Associations tours has there
been such countrywide complexion TO
the entry list as is accommodating for the
event 10 start In Detroit on october and
conclude in New Orleans on october 10.
Teams for the famous Glidden trophy are
already assured from Boston, Detroit,
New Orleans and Jacksonville. Many OF
the cities along the route win announce
their teams in the near future. and II is
| not Improbable that fully score VIII
be involved.
The national tour committee, OF which
; Or. c. i. Dutton, Of Minneapolis, Is chair
man, has appointed the following night
stops: Fort Wayne, Ind, the Anthony;
Indianapolis, the Claypool; Louisville, the
Seelbach; Mammoth Cave, Ky, the Mg.n-
moth Cave: Nashville, Tenn, the Her
mitage Sheffield, Ala. the Sheffield Hotel;
: Rogers Spring, Tenn, the Rustic Inn'
| Memphis, the Gayoso; Greenwood, Miss.
the Reiman House; Vicksburg Miss, the
New Carroll; Magnolia, Miss, the Excel
slor: Baton Rouge, La, the Istrouma
Hotel; New Orleans, the Grunewald.
II has been arranged to have the noon
stop the fourth day at Buffalo, Ky. The
Lincoln Home Park is about two miles
from Buffalo, and a detour will DE made
and time allowed, which will permit the
tourists TO inspect the beautiful memorial
building. The loghouse In which the mar

the granite building. The old schoolhouse
on Knob Creek where Lincoln first weat
to school may be Seen from the road over
which the tour will pass.
At Vicksburg the tourists Will have
ample time TO visit the battlehelds and
view the monuments which have been
erected By the various states and the ma
tional government The National Military
Park contains 1923 acres and practically
includes the battle lines OF the two r.
niles during the investment OF yicksburs
In 1863 The park hills overlooking each
other have been purposely kept clear OF
any timber and an unobstructed view Of
the whole battlefield may be had. During
the siege there was no timber on these
hills, and such as II there now ie the
growth OF the intervening years. Many
other historic and beautiful places are
located along the route Of the 1912 tour.
There have been several changes In the
rules, the most notable being in regard to
tire chains and other non-skid devices.
These may now be put on or taken OF the
wheels while the cars are In control. IL
has happened so many times on toirs
that heavy rains have occurred while the
cars were in control. Under the old rule
chains could not be put on until after the
cars had checked out.

BUYING METHOD CRITICISED
Harroun Says Car Is More I'm.
portant than Equipment.

The growing tendency OF motor car
buyers to be too strongly influenced BY
external features is causing no little con-
Germ 70 the manufacturer" says Ray
Harroun, OF the engineering department
OF the Nordyke q Marmon Company
makers OF the Marmon car.
ut is largely the fault Of the manu-
facturers themselves. who have called al
tention away from mechanical excellence
to special items in equipment. until now
Il is difficult TO keep the buyer from for
getting all about the car itself in his
eagerness TO get something novel in the
way Of an accessory.
What is needed Is a concerted effort
on the part Of the manufacturers 20 ex-
plot the real advantages Of their cars
and do away with featuring some new
lighting device or a new type OF starter.
The purchaser should buy a car for It's
stamina. reliability and easy riding quail
tiles. and when he loses sight OF these
features there is danger OF large crop
OF dissatisfied owners and a consequent
slump In the demand for cars.
Much more help can be given the buyer
II he IS told about some hard, gruelling
race or tour that a car has won than II
he IL impressed with the value Of some
accessory that has no bearing on the
durability or economy OF the car itself.
Personally, feel that great deal more
good was accomplished by the Marmon
winning the Minneapolis to Winnipeg re-
liability tour without q puncture OF any
other penalty than could have been re-
allied from exploiting any amount Of
new equipment"
