DISINFECTOR MOTOR CAR.
Automobile Makes Debut as New
Hygienic Exhibit.

At recent hygienic exhibition in Dres-
den. Germany. a large number Of physi-
clans inspected a disinfector motor car
designed on the basis of the experience
of Dr. Otto. who for more than a year
has used automobiles for expediting and
cheapening the work Of disinfection
which becomes necessary in the case OF
contagious and infectious diseases. Sani-
tation of this order has become more
urgent in Germany Of late years by rea-
son Of the large numbers Of foreign
agricultural workers who migrate to and
from the rural districts twice year, and
generally by reason of the much-increas-
ed travel of the population. The system
heretofore used has involved the employ
ment of a large number of persons. each
of whom, as a rule, trundled or drove a
car with a small apparatus within a
small radius of action, and more or less
accurately and intelligently carried out
the instructions given them all for guild
ance in their work.

APPEARANCE IN CITY
Model "38" Seen on Streets With
S. A. Luttrell at the
Wheel.

The 1918 Packard, model 49, arrived
in Washington yesterday afternoon, and.
with Samuel A. Luttrell at the wheel.
made It's first appearance on the streets
of the National Capital. 1t was the DEM
onstrator model and attracted widespread
attention everywhere
THE new car, with it's left drive cleo
trio self-starter and numerous exclusive
features, is actually season in advance.
said Mr.. Luttrell. "The Packard Motor
never has designed new models simply
for the sake OF turning out something
different from a previous car. and the
49, marks a positive forward step In
motor car construction.
In this car the electric self-starter is
developed to the point of positive effi-
cheney. The installation OF a positive
self-starter is the final and conclusive
reason for the left drive. which is much
more convenient than the right drive.
1t is no longer necessary for passengers
to walk around the end OF the car IN
a muddy or crowded street to reach the
front seat. They step directly into the
car from the curb.
"A high-tension dual ignition entirely
separate from the starting and lighting
system insures complete efficiency.
Driving facility reaches a new stand
ard of convenience in the smaller six
cylinder Packard. The left drive and self
starter are supplemented by the new
Packard control board. attached to the
steering column directly beneath the
wheel. Starting, lighting. ignition and
carbureter controls are centered on this
compact keyboard. They are right under
the drivers fingers and do away with
reaching for buttons and switches on
the dash.

WILSON FAVORABLE
TO GOOD ROADS IDEA
His Election Means Much to
A. A. A. Highway
Policy.

The election of Woodrow Wilson to the
presidency Of the United States carries
with 1t encouragement to the advocates
of federal aid in highway improvement.
It insures an administration friendly to
the efforts of the American Automobile
Association and other bodies who are. CO.
operating with 1t in the work to re-es-
tablish the policy Of road building as one
of the fixed and definite policies of the
national government.
Gov. Wilson in many public addresses
has voiced his belief in the wisdom Of
munication, and particularly of roads. to
which he specifically referred in his adj
dress at the American road congress at
Proper Government Function.
II tell you frankly my interest in good
roads Is not merely an interest in the
pleasure of riding in automobiles. 1t is
not merely an interest In the much more
important matter Of affording farmers OF
this country and residents In villages
means Of ready access to such neighbor-
ing markets as they need for economic
benefit. but 1t Is also the interest In weav-
ing as complicated and elaborate a net of
neighborho0d and state and national opin-
ion together as 1t is possible to weave. 1t
Is of the most fundamental Importance
that the United States should think in
big pieces, should think together, should
think ultimately as whole, and l feel in
my enthusiasm for good roads something
Of the old opposition that there always
has been in me to any kind of sectional
feeling.
II believe that 1t Is the proper function
of the government to see to 1t that the
extension OF all the varied modern knowl-
edge about characteristics of different
soils ought to be so extended. so carried
everywhere to the farmer as to build up
by the aid Of the government this thing
that feeds us, and ought to continue to
feed the world, and whenever you speak
of that, whenever you increase what the
United States is doing, you must imme-
diately increase the facilities of the
United States for handling what 1t has
made after 1t has made 1t. You cannot
nationally increase the prosperity of this
country without increasing the road ia
cilities Of this country.
