Exemption From Duty
Resented by the French

France, refused to sell a single machine
to the United States, because they felt.
as is beginning to be proved. that the
manufacture Of American lace would
hurt their trade. Lace-making machin-
cry was bought from Germany also, and
as the machines purchased in England
were principally of the Levers type, sim
liar to those used in France, the United
States factories have practically the same
facilities for lace making as those in Eu-
rope. The new tariff bill continued the
rate of duty upon foreign laces at go per
cent of their value
The american lace manufacturers now
are uniting their efforts for the improve
ment Of their wares. One of the matters
being considered is the patenting Of lace
patterns, SO that they cannot be stolen.
There is a concerted movement upon the
part of number Of American lace manu-
facturers to establish an agreement, by
the terms of which any one caught in the
act of copying designs or putting stolen
pattern upon the market as original
goods shall be debarred from buying, or
even looking upon. the designs of the
other manufacturers. OF course. the lace
making industry in this country is still
so much in its infancy that all such pro-
visions are only tentative. but the output
during the year just past has been euff1
cient to attract the attention OF the Eu-
ropean manufacturers. From one Euro

WILL FLY ACROSS
ENGLISH CHANNEL
Woman Air Pilot and Former
Auto Enthusiast Has Nerve
Hacking Experience.

Undaunted by the sight of a sister
aviator dashed to death from an aero
plane while she herself scared at the
dizzy height of 5000 feet, Miss
Blanche Stewart Scott, information
ally famous as a transcontinental II
tomobile and air pilot, is to try for
a new woman's record. She will at
tempt a flight of the English Chan
mel in a hydro-aeroplane within a
few days.
Though it was only after three
desperate attempts that Miss Scott
was able to land her biplane when
Miss Harriet Quimby was killed Al
a Boston aviation meet a few weeks
ago and though nerye-racked and
hysterical when her machine finally
reached the earth, she would not Civ,
up the flying game. Within a week
after the accident Miss Scott was in
the air again and she is now about
to undertake a very difficult feat, the

currents above the English Channel,
which have proved the Waterloo of
many an intrepid hler.
Miss SCOTS first experience in the
thrilling life she has chosen came in
1909, when she drove an Overland au-
tomobile from New York to San
Francisco. This was at a time when
mi automobile drivers, eve on
the streets OF quiet villages ard cities,
were as scarce as the proverbial hens
teeth.
The route chosen for the %transcon-
tinental our took the young women
over more than 5000 miles OF every
kind of road imaginable, mud and
mountains, desert and prairie. The
trip was one to tax the endurance of
a strong man, but Miss Scott, favored
by a car which gave an excellent ac-
count Of itself during the whole run,
devoted her entire energy to driving
and m-anueyering for the best high
way and came through with flying
colors.
From automobile driving to aVia-
ton was only a short step for 8
woman OF Miss SCOTS attainments
and will-power and she has taken
her place among the famous hiers of
the world.
women are in the forefront OF
nearly everything; why shouldn't
they take the honors in flying "
smiled Miss Scott in a recent inter-
view. whether it's vote-getting or
volplanine. women have demon
strated their ability and taken the
plareg which are theirs by right.

But I think / have shown the world

Miss Scott. several months ago
challenged Miss Quimby TO . competi-
tive flight for altitude and endurance.
Miss Quimby refused, declaring her
rival held no aviator's license either
in Europe or the United States. She
consented to fly in the exhibition meet
in Boston with Miss Scott, however,

LOWERS AUTO RECORD
DENVER TO CHICAGO
Covers 1900 Miles in 80
Hours and rs Minutes.

Lowering by several hours the
record for an automobile trip from
Denver to Chicago, a distance of over
LOO miles, Leo Galitzke in a Loco
mobile Blk Six with three passengers,
arrived in the latter city on Saturday
last.
Although Mr.. Galitzke left Denver
on Wednesday, his actual running
time was only thirty-nine hours and
twenty-five minutes, which taking
into consideration the extremely poor
condition of the roads for some miles
east of Denver, was a particularly
creditable performance, AS a result
of the very rough roads encountered
he was thoroughly exhausted on FRI
day and therefore drove only about
half a day.
Cor miles at a stretch Mr.. Galitzke
found it necessary to drive on first
and second gear, pulling through n
mudhole half a mile in length where
six horses We're required to pull an
ordinary wagon.
Mr.. Galitzke stated that practical
ly every ear attempting to travel over
this road needed the services OF
horses to pull them out.

AUTUMN BRINGS
MOTORISTS JOY
Weather Conditions Ideal for
Touring During Next
Few Weeks.

Summertime season when the mo-
tor tourist has always been at the
heiaht of his ~glory-has given way in
favor of autumn, and the celebrating
weather of the past few days is fast
winning over the motor-car wner
hundreds of whom are planning trips
during the next few weeks. 1t is con-
fdently predicted that the months of
September and October will break all
previous records In this respect.
The great army of automobilists
who were discouraged by the hot.
dusty roads of midsummer, will find
the cool, bracing air and hard-packed
roads of the early fall season most
irresistible; in fact. the Touring Club
of America, Broadway and Seventy
sixth street. New York, reports that
the great number of inquiries for
routes, automobile blue books and
information as to road conditions is
quite Unprecedented at this time of
the year.
The present demand for touring in
formation bears out the predictions
Of the Touring Clubs officials that

summer 81 as to take advantage OF
the brisk, cool autumnal days, with
their dustless roads, at a time when
the hotels and wayside inns along
the popular thoroughfares are best
prepared to care for them.
Now that the seashore sea son is
over the hills have acquired an
added charm, and it is the Berk-
shires, the AdironGacks and the
White mountains hat are proving
magnetic to the motor tourists, while
the Catskills, the Ramapos, the
Water Gap and Poconos are calling
those who seek shorter trips for
weekend holidays
Only by actually getting out into
the country, by experiencing the in
MIGRATING rush through the crisp at
mosphere of a fall day, can the full
joys of touring at this season of the
year be appreciated. The air is
clear, revealing the beauties of dis
tant hills and mountains in sharp
relief, and all outdoors extends an
invitation to the city dwellers to
revel in the grandeur of nature.

A remarkable instance of the sim

caused considerable comment in auto

WILL DRIVE SAME !
CAR $4,000 MILES
Colorado Physician Solves
Problem of Old Car-"Drive
It," He Says.

DIR. A. c. Stewart. of Denver. Colo,
who is a very enthusiastic motorists
claims to have solved the problem OF
what to do with the old car. His
solution is to drive 1t. In proof or
his theory he is at present engaged
in making a tour from Denver which
before it's completion will take him
through over half of the States in
the Union and will aggregate about
1000 miles. -.
DIR. Stewart recently made his first
visit to the Locomobile factory, al
though he has been a Locomobile
owner for a good many years. In
speaking of it he said:
"I have frequently been asked by
owners of cars how l have managed
to keep my car running so consists
entity and so well for such a number
of years. and | have always answered
the question by stating that my Sue
cess was due to two reasons In the
first place, when I purchased a car /
purchased one which 7 knew was
properly constructed. The second rea-
son is that / have never tinkered,.
with it.
During the last four years | have
driven my car between s5,0p and
o 1000 miles. which, | think, is n very
fair record for a 20-horsepower car
driven by the owner. On the present
trip during the last month | have
covered about 200 miles. and | ey-
pect that before 7 reach San Diego. /.
which is the ultimate point of my
tour, counting side trips and detoura !
It will cover at least 4,090 miles mores
which will bring my mileage pretty
close to the $4,000 mark"
DR.. Stewart states that his present
trip East has been n of the most..
pleasant he has ever taken and n'A'
| anticipates that the return, which is
TO be by way of Texas, will be no
less enjoyable.

bad ROADS LIMIT
USE Of AUTOS
Lack of Maps Also Drawback
TO Growth of American
Tourist Business.

The absence of good roads is the one
great drawback which prevents the
United States and Canada from being
widely known among the motorists of
the world, is the assertion made by
Lord Montagu. editor of THE Car"
in the current number of Great Bril-
tain's leading motoring publication.
Lord Montagu recently returned to
London after a tour of. several weeks
in this country, and believes that good
roads will eventually be built, and
that there is no reason why the num-
Der of automobiles used in North
America should not run into the nil
lions. With improved highways, this
British authority. who has evidently
made a careful study of the situation.
predicts that European tourists will
flock to this country and enjoy it's
scenic beauties.
Automobilists and other users of
the highways will read with interest
Lord Montagu's views as expressed
in his recent review of touring condi-
lions here.
"The influence of bad roads upon
American hutoHloulH ISIS is Eeen IN the
fact hat the clearance between the
ground and the lowest point of the
chassis has to be higher than in Eu-
rope. and the extra wear and tear on
the machinery %occasioned by holes.
ruts and boulders is greater. leading
to greater strength being needed in
certain directions.
"As yet the American and Canadian
privately owned automobile is mostly
used as a pleasure vehicle and for lit
tie else, and not so much for utlita-
rian purposes As in Great Britain or
Europe as "a whole.
"And last. but not least, there is a
great lack Of reliable information as
to the country as a whole, and no
good maps are vet available for use
except Of districts near the larger
towns. Naturally a continent 5000
miles east and west by 1000 north
and south has not been yet charted
or explored from a road point of view.
But road information and the other
requisites OF touring are steadily
growing, and before long touring in
America in a motorcar will be as conf
mon as it is in Europe"
