MOTOR BOAT OWNERS FINED.
Government Inspectors Are Strictly
Enforcing Navigation Laws.

In the past week or ten days the rev.
enue cutter Apache and the government
inspection boat Tarragon have made re-
ports of violations of the navigation
regulations by power boat owners and
sailing vessel masters on Chesapeake bay
and at Baltimore that have resulted i'm
the imposition of fines amounting to
about $500.
The Tarragon has not yet paid her
long-looked-for visit to the Potomac at
this city, but she is expected to come at
any time. The Apache for the next three
or four days will be engaged in target
practice ons Chesapeake bay. but at its
conclusion it is expected that she VIII
come to this city.
AS the motor boating season is now i'll
full swing. and it is said that launch own
ers are very careless about showing prop
err lights at night, it would be wise for
them to See that their boats have aboard
all the equipment required and that reg
ulations be observed. If they are caught
delinquent by the government officials a
heavy fine will be imposed, and when ins
posed will stick and no persuasion or
argument can have it removed or re-
duced.

HE national road is one
~ thing needed to make this
country a bigger and bet
ter and greater nation is
the assertion put forward
by Laurens Enos, president tine Aiiiei
lean Automobile Association. and mead OF
the largest organized body of road users
| in the world.
"A vast amount of INSTRUMENTATION
seems to exist regarding the usefulness
of a national highway system. Primarily,
it must be understood that every road en-
tering into a system of national roads
would be the main thoroughfare between
centers of population and interest, ana
| on that basis alone would be subject to a
heavy traffic. Further. it is a well known
| fact that the principal road between i'm
portant centers runs through the most
| thoroughly developed section of country
within that region. with the most popu-
lous and progressive smaller cities and
villages and the most thoroughly cult
waited farming sections.
| Mature has fixed the locations of most
| large cities; and almost invariably, in this
| country, at least it will be found that
| the richest and most prosperous commu-
mites lie along the path Of the most dl-
| rect communication between them. The
construction of national road system,
| therefore, would, in its through traffic
| features, accommodate a public from
| wide belt of country through which the
roads would run.
I'm its local traffic features the ma
| tional road would serve all the purposes
| of a local road. Passing, as it would,
| through the most populous sections. 1t
would carry larger amount of local traf-
| fic than roads located where there ex-
listed less prosperity and less advantages.
| The interurban travel would reach its
| highest development, both between the
smaller cities and the termini and among
| the smaller cities themselves. With such
system, crossing every state in the
Union and reaching all important cities.
| it Is not extravagant to assume that at
least half the people of the country would
be directly served, with benefits to the
other half; while Indirect none the less
pronounced.
There still some people who as
sumo to believe that national roads
sought for the sole benefit of few
automobile tourists. Such have not kept
track of the commercial development OF
the age. 1t is true that ong-distance
traffic on through routes is motor driven.
With horse traffic limited to forty or
fifty miles a day. travellers for business
or pleasure naturally utilize the con-
veyance which will take them 800 or 400
miles. The motor car is often used in
stead of the railroad train for two rea-
sons--it is not confined to time schedules,
and it takes one where he wants to go.
Traffic originates off as we'll as on the
main road, many getting to the through
road by the nearest route. Furthermore,
the commercial aspect of the traffic of
through routes is rapidly assuming great
er proportions
National roads would open Up to
greater settlement and greater produc-

self-Starter Brings Results.

The wreeking crew on the farther bank
of the river began to make preparations
for the usual relief expedition, but was
doomed to disappointment. for the electric
self-starter was brought into play and by
means Of the starter and the first speed
gear the car slowly proceeded across the
river under electric power climbing its
way up the bank.
The motor was kept under motion by
means Of the starter for four or five min
utes, the heat of the motor and the mo-
ton of the fan gradually drying out the
magnetic and other parts, and in few
minutes time a few explosions were OBJ
tained and within five minutes after the
time the car had entered the river it was
on it's way up the opposite bank and on
to Fort Wayne again under gasoline
power.

Liqht Six Makes Sensational

The new Chandler Light Six last week
added another chapter to its series of re-

Indianapolis and return A great many
ears left Detroit and Cleveland over the
road for .he Indiana polls races. but as far
as can be learned ;he Chandler was the

the same length of time, 1861 miles III
two days through the flood-stricken dis
tricts of OHIO and Indiana over roads
destroyed by the fearful floods of two
months ago, Is record which is worthy
of note. The car made the trip to Indian
apolis and return in "A faultless manner.
without accident. adjustment or delay.
and finished the trip in perfect condition.
On the return trip seven detours were
necessary on account of bridges which
had been swept away by the floods \
very interesting incident occurred be-
tween Huntington. Ind. and Fort Wayne.
\ large double span steel bridge had been
sWep. away and the only way to cross
which at that point was about 100 yards
wide, and in places nearly three feet in
depth. Several enterprising farmers were
stationed on the opposite bank with a
team Of horses and had evidently been do
ing a thriving business In pulling motor
cars across. The Chandler Six attempted
to ford the stream under motor power.
but about one-third Of the way across the
car was partially submerged. the carbu-
rotor and magnetic flooded with water.
with the result that the motor stopped
dead in midStream.
