CAPITAL
AMONG LEADING
TOURIST HAvENS
Bureau Chief of Big Tire Firm
Prepares Map of Roads Into
City.

That WASHINGTON is one of the best
tourist cities in the country is the frm
opinion of Raymond Beck, chief of the
touring bureau of the B. +. Goodrich
Company, makers of Goodrich tires.
Mr. Beck was in Washington recently
laying out a plan to mark the roads
leading out of this city.
II found,'' said Mr.. Beck, that
Washington is prepared to take care
of the tourist, whether he comes by au-
tomobile. train, or boat. The Ameri-
can tourist seeks the best accommoda-
tions. You have these in Washington,
and you have some good roads lead
ing into the city.
But what you want is more good
roads leading in your city. Something
certainly should be done to connect
with Pennsylvania's new good roads ex-
ploitation. Ohio promises to improve
the old National pike, and when these
two States have been connected with
q good interstate lateral road 1t is up
to Maryland tc connect with It. Then
Washington and Baltimore will get
nearly all of the thousands OF West
ern motorists who now visit New York
Oh tHe nOTlHSTn
routes.
"Our touring bureau has already
erected guide posts along considerable
Of these routes, and this year We will
connect Washington with Frederick,
Hagerstown. Bedford, Pa, and Pitts
burgh. The latteracIty is now connected
all the way on the old National pike
to Kansas City. and also with Cleve-
land, Chicago. St Paul and Omaha.
We will also erect the guide posts from
Washington to Leesburg. Winchester.
Cumberland, and Washington, Pa.
I'VE have already erected our guide
posts to Baltimore. Wilmington. and
New York, Gettysburg, Lancaster.
York, Harrisburg. so you see we are
doing our best to stimulate touring
travel This travel demands better
roads. and when they are constructed
Washington will be the mecca of the
automobile tourists of the country"

BRASS TACK STAGE
IN MOTOR INDUSTRY
Detroit Dealer Says Makers
Have Brought Business
Down to Firm Basis.

"The brass tack era in the QUITO
mobile industry has commenced" says
R. d. Chaplin, one Of the big motor
car manufacturers of Detroit. The
cars that are on a sound financial basis
are those which are making good, and
will continue to do so,' he added. The
American automobile Is on the basis
upon which the British and European
industry-is is good, firm. staple busi-
ness.
For instance. IT Is not long since
that a certain make OF car was dis
the discontinuance over dozen OF
these cars were unloaded in a certain
Iniddle-class city for $50 each They
were worth that as SO much metal.
There was no service behind them, no
spare parts could be obtained; the car
was out OF existence. Imagine the de-
probation that instantly took place on
every car of that make in the coun-
try. De-.
THE buyers patronage Of manufac-
turers is narrowing down TO the ag-
gressive. sound few who have for years
forecast the settling Of the automobile
business down to the brass tack basis
the solid. firm bottom on which IL
rests today. And when / refer to a
sound. firm basis ] refer TO the fact
that 1913 will see more cars built and
sold than any other previous year. One
low-priced manufacture. who is a
tremendous factor as an educator of
the public to the automobile, will buiid
over 1T5 600 cars. II Is said.
The strong companies are prosper
Gus. They are expanding into the field
from which the weaker ones have been
forced to vacate by the very nature OF
the business settling down 10 bed rock
The industry as a whole is in a remark
ably healthy condition.
ITO those who. like myself, have
been in the industry from its very in
ception. the brass tack situation is
gra tifying. for II has been looked for
during the last three years. It-is a
crystallization of conditions which are
found in every great new industry.
''The significance to prospective and
present owners of cars is that the auto
mobile industry's reaching bed rock is
their protection. for il means that they
need deal with the tried-and-true COM
panies only"

Use of Automobile
Is Growing in Egypt

The use Of automobiles is becoming
quite extensive in Egypt within a re-
cent date, especially at Alexandria and
Cairo. The latest figures show as many
as $50 cars registered at Cairo alone.
Even though all of these are not in
circulation, It is estimated that at least
400 are in regular use. and these are
running almost entirely within the city.
Outside OF town there are but few
roads such as the Pyramids. Heliopolis,
and Rod-el-Farag routes. At Alex.
andria there are counted 167 autonlo-
biles. The only good road outside the
city is the eight-mile route leading to
the resort at San Stefano.

Noise Often Carried
By Faulty Gearing

Noise in the diferential is not always
Q sign of poor lubrica ton. but is often
due to faulty neshlng of the gears. a
hum or singing note is produced when
tie driving bevel meshes too deeply in
the diffeTential bevel. Moving the two
further apart, into the correction rela-
lion, Will stop the noise. Most cars
have an adjustment for this purpose.

Of the Mattsr-lowa News.

Carroll, March 22.-The county has
practically effected settlement OF its
claims against the American Surety
Company on the bond Of John Grelck.
late county clerk. According to the
report of Mr.. Poorman, the expert &C
countant who went thru the clerks
books there was shortage Of $5,751.S5.
but as an offset for this there was in
the bank of Grelck's credit as clerk Of
court S1,752.S1. leaving the actual
deficit only $S,999.54. In this. how
ever, there were included quite num-
Der Of items of doubtful character In
fact, wherever the signature Of payee
was lacking opposite any entry OF fees
paid by the clerk, the accountant In
cluded it among the fees for which the
clerk had not properly accounted, al
tho as a matter Of fact it Is believed
that in many instances the proper per-
sons had already received such fees
and the clerk was only blamable for
failure to have the matter receipted.
The representative Of the bondsman.
the American Surety Company. went
thru the records and as a result OF his
investigations the company made an
offer of s3,664.05 in full settlement OF
all claims Of the county against them
as sureties for Grelck. This leaves
margin of $335.49 on the basis of Poor
mans figures. but as stated many items
of such doubtful character included in
his total that there is little Likelihood
that the county could have colleced for
them from the surety company had 1t
brought suit on the bond. Indeed some
good judges believe that the money Of
fered by the company will fully cover
all accounts that were properly charge
able against the late clerk, and by &C
ceptance OF that offer ali the expense
and delay incident TO litigation Is
avoided. At the meeting Of the board
and to release the bond when advice Of
it's attorney, the board decided to ac-
cept the amount thus offered County
Auditor Poeppe was authorized to re-
ceipt for the amount in the name Of the
board and to release the bond when
payment had been made.

Eldora, March 22-The stockholders
for the Park Dam Company held q
meeting in tho court room last night.
at which time eishty-three shares were
represented. Leo b. Markstsvas made
chairmsn Of the meeting and F. J. Ed
gar the secretary. The fact that no
more than eighty three shares were
represented was due to the fact that the
larger sum OF shares, shout 40, are
held BY MessrS. Lundy, Wood and Lati-
mer in conjunction, and these could not
be represented on account Of the ser
ious illness of Mr.. Lundy.
Receiver Charles o. Ryan was called
upon and he explained thoroughly tho
facts in the tangle as far as he knew.
He explained that the action for re-
ceiver was made necessary from the
fact that the Northwestern Electric
Equipment Company would otherwise
have thrown the company into bank
ruptcy or attached the whole plant.
The holders OF a majority of the stock.
Lundy, Wood, Lalimer and few 9TH
ers, thought it would be better for the
company to adopt the method which
was followed, altho the small stock
holders and the board of directors knew
nothing Of the action until 1t was TAX

Mr.. Ryan also made the statemens
that tho monthly wage expense had
already been cut from t53S to $3.50.
while in his hands. also that the
monthly receipts were about 500. He
advised the stockholders to hold their
stock. expressing the opinion that ne
had strong hopes for bringing the
stockholders what they had invested.

1t was brought out also that E. n.
Lundy personally owns the Eldora
Electric Light Company, but nobody
seemed perfectly clear as to the rela-
ton OF the Park Dam Company to the

pany.
A motion prevailed that the chair
appoint q committee Of three to Sc
lect an expert bookkeeper to go over
the books Of the defunct company
ana that an order Of court be secured
approving this action. This idea was
first suggested by Receiver Ryan, not
that anything wrong is apprehended
