In contradiction of the report sent out,
IL should be stated that at no time has
blanchard shown any remarkable ability

w. S. A. Pott won the singles tennis
tournament of the University of Virginia
Wednesday afternoon, winning easily in
three straight sets over Edgar. This
gives Pott the right to challenge Eppa
Rixey, the Philadelphia southpaw, who is
at present holder of the title. Rixey
arrived at the university Monday and
has been practicing daily. The greatest
interest yesterday centered in the doubles
match between Rixey and Guy and Eager
and Edgar. Guy is a Washington boy.
Eager and Edgar won after three stiff
sets, 6-3, 2-6 and So. and thereby have
easy sailing against w. Rixey and Belt

BANNER FAD SPREADS
FAST AMONG AUT0ISTS
Owners Now I.sbeI Their Cars With
Pennants Showing Their
Home Cities.
The latest automobile fad is the ]

The latest automobile fad is the pen
nant craze. Originated by the manu-
facturers to advertise their cars pass
ing through the streets, owners took
up the idea by adapting the name Of
their home city instead of the make
of the car.
This banner patriotism has been
pOpularized specially in the suburban
cities and it is now a matter Of sim
pie reading TO tell in any city the
ears that are from near by towns.
And it seems that large majority
of the city cars are so labeled, when
they leave home.
Touring parties now get banners
from each of the large cities through
which they pass and the result is that
some of the autos are literally COW
cred with varied colOrs and enough
names to start a railroad guide.
Tt is always considered the proper
degree OF patriotism, however, for
every cross country driver to sport
his home town pennant on his ma
chine and in FL PasO it is nothing ex-
traOrdiuary to to see Silver City, Ala
mOgordO. Deming, Las Cruces and
other banners on the streets in one
day.

AUTO DELIVERY
A BIG SAVING
Auto Trnek Gan Cover Radius Of Is
to 20 Miles a Day at Same Cost
That Horse Covers Three-MiIe
Tznffua


"The business man who does not
care to cover more than a three mile
zone in delivery would probably not
be able to save money by substitute
ing motor for horse haulage." ad-
mits a motor car manufacture, 'but
it has always seemed 10 me that the
aim of any ambitious tradesman must
be TO widen his territory.
Now when he gets outside the three
mile circle, a horse won't do his work
profitably. The reason is simple
enough-it is merely a matter Of time.
In order to determine what a horse
costs TO maintain, you should divide
the upkeep Of the animal by the num-
Der Of deliveries he makes, thus ar
irving at the cost Of delivery per
package 1t then becomes apparent
that the maximum efficiency Of the
horse is obtained in a limited terri
tory.
Against this three mile proposition
for that is Just about what it
amounts to-eOnsider what the power

livery wagons and trucks, for instance,
covering so to s. miles a day, a zone
OF IS to 20 miles and at cost per
package delivered of less than the
zone II is not entirely a matter OF
what the motor will be able to do
for YOU at once, but its ability to
take care Of an expanding business
and its influence in actually creating
more trade"
As a general rule, each delivery wa
gom suppiants two hOrss-dFaWn rigs.
though in many eases this number is
increased to three The relative eX-
pense Of the motor wagon is almost
exactly half that Of the horses, ac-
cording to the testimony OF each mer-
chant
Aside from the advantage Of econ
Omy, in which the merchants all agree,
il is interesting TO note the various
features in which the motor delivery
wagon has appealed to the different
men. Enlargement Of scope was
prominent merit to many. A Cali
fOrnia laundryman established routes
TO neighbOring towns and doubled his
receipts by use Of a motor wagon A
baker likes his, because pies and
cakes ride easily and reach the con-
sumer in good shape. A grocer is de-
lighted at the absence Of breakage OF
bottles and eggs, compared with his
horse drawn delivery days A butcher
is tickled because his truck hasn't
run away or smashed anything, as his
horses did every now and then A
