1T Is neither logical nor sensible. The
yearly model has its place, but 1t should
be restricted to such articles as last but
one season. The idea as applied to au-
tomobiles is now nearly as antiquated
as the first cars that were made. In the
first years of the industry a car was not

5000 miles. and radical improvements

PATHF|ND|NG AUTO
ENDS LONG JOURNEY
EIectric-Driven Car Maps Out
the LakeS-t0-GuIf
Route.

NEW ORLEANS, La, September l.
While the stanch little electric path
finding car of the American Automobile
Association was the center of an ad-
miring throng as 1t stood close to the
curb in front of the ST. Charles Hotel
here Wednesday afternoon w. o. West
gard, official pathfinder for the Amer
lean Automobile Associations 1912 re-
liability tour from Detroit to New Or
leans, and those who accompanied him on
the long trip from the lakes to the gulf
were being dined and wined
The autometer of the successfully
driven electric showed a distance of
!, ,121.7 miles travelled and yet the car
showed scarcely any traces of the wear
and tear incident to the strenuous trip
The New York-to-Jacksonvile tour last
year was a fine one. according to Mr..
Westgard. but the Detroit-to-New Or
leans run will be far greater. Indianapo-
lis Louisville, Memphis Jackson and
points, and citizens of these cities are
keenly alive to what the visits of the
tour will mean. 1t remained for New
Orleans to cap the climax in the way of
lavish receptions.
Tour Occurs in October.
The arrival of the Pathfinder is the first
step toward the famous american AulU-
mobile Association tour which will occur
in October. 1t is the first time in the
history of these tourists that an electric
driven car has been used as a path
finder
The Pathfinder left Lutcher Tuesday
morning about o'clock and battled
through the mud, hub deep. to Stros, a
distance Of twenty-five miles Several
times the electric encountered seemingly
impossible ruts and holes. but always
managed to get out again and in one
case actually pulled out gasoline car
that was hopelessly stalled, such is the
steady pulling ability of an electric.
This is the first time that New Orleans
has ever been the terminus of the Gid
den tour now known as the American
Automobile Association tour. and it is
the desire of the local committee in
charge of the reception to honor the Wis
itors while they are in the city.

A big glum fellow sat alone in the

him the plate, but the man shook his

told a little story of his Oberlin col
lege days.
1t happened in the chemistry class
and the professor had just asked Mil
Ter to define gravity The somewhat
hurried definition contained the word
pull" and this irritated the instruc-
tor. He declared there was no such
energy in nature as pull Whereupon
Miller undertook to illustrate his def
milton by lifting a chair to the level OF
his chin and then thrusting 1t straight
out.
"One is push: the other pull" he
said.
Here was the professors chance.
81 have long suspected" he said,
that Miller considers his chin the
centre of gravity"
The laugh that followed was LOUD
and long, the professor leading, and
then Miller subsided.
But when the merrimept died away
a young woman in the front row
caught the professors attention.
81 would like to ask question:
she said.
Yes, Miss Myers, what is it?'
The young woman spoke up very
clearly.

Sir William Allan covered large
canvas with a picture Of the battle of
Waterloo, which the duke of yelling
ton bought. His grace asked the
painter to call at the Horse Guards on
a certain day to receive payment
Punctually Sir William came, and the
duke began to count out notes for the
sum agreed upon. Knowing how valu-
able was his time, Allan said that he
would be quite content to take the
dukes check.
His grace went on counting, and the
artist, thinking he had not been heard
remarked:
1T would save your grace time and
trouble If you would give me check
on your bankers"
Either angry at being interrupted In
his counting or else jocularly, with a
touch of the truth that is sometimes
spoken in jest, the duke answered:

have ?"-Tit- t-Bits.
