SHASTA TOUR MADE
BY L0Z|ER CAR
Sherman Clay Uses Machine
for Trip Through Noted
Scenic Country

A Lozier car driven by Sherman Clay
covered the intervening miles between
Shasta Springs and Oakland in one
day. This unusually speedy trip was
made with the, car loaded with pas
sengers, the members of C1ay's tour
party. The Lozier car was on the road
for II hours, but, as three hours were
consumed at meals en- route, the actual
running time was but IA hours. Miles
travelled as revealed by the speedom-
eter. We're 3S5 to Oakland Figuring
the actual running time with the total
miles travelled shows that an average
mileage was made of p IL miles per
hour. Twenty-Five miles an hour Is
considered a very fast road average.
indeed. and particularly so where the
route leads through the mountains.
The Lozier party left Shasta springs
at o'clock in the morning. Scenery
through this section is superb. Gran
lite pinnacles and dones, roaring
streams in turbulent mood, virgin for
ests. and the snowy. volcanic cone Of
Mount Shasta all hold interest and
charm for the tourist. The run into
Dunsmuir was swift and undelayed.
This road is quite old near pelta and
has been somewhat neglected. Turns
are Of the ''hairpin" variety, and this
method of construction. combined with
melancholy lack of width, make the
road. all in all. a dangerous one. MI
merous rocks and unexpected steep
pitches add to the discomfort.
Good time was made over the fairly
good road from Delta to Redding, 4f.5
miles Here are encountered many
curves calling for cautious driving, but
the grades are easy and the going
smooth Anything like fast time
through this section is an impossibility-
Once out of the mountains, the Lozier
was sent jumping along at pace that
had but little respect for space and
much for time. Along the boulevards
of the Sacramento valley the Lozier,
obeying the touch of the throttle,
rolled forward with increasing speed
In the morning the Lozier car ap-
peared at the salesroom of the Bekins-
Speers Motor company in San Fran
cisco to give an account of its trip.
Speaking of the journey, Clay says:
although good time was made on
this return trip from Shasta springs,
we did not go fast enough to rob the
trip of touring pleasures. To do that,
in my opinion, is mistake.

NE " STEARNs CAR
IS ANNOUNCE D
Changes Will Include Both
the Four and Six Cylin-
der Models

In placing its new f914 models be-
fore the public. the r b stearns COM.
pany Of Cleveland lifts the curtain on
q number Of new improvements and
announces its championship Of many
changes gradually affecting the entire
industry
Notab BILE among these are the adop-
ton of the left hand drive with cen
ter control optional wire wheel equip
ment. steering column control and the
tapering hood and cowl.
One of the most noticeable meehan-'
ical advances is the steering column
control. Instead of the customary
clumsy arrangement, the principle Of
centralizing the control under the OPP
orators hand has been carried out by
a system of small rods, operating in
the casing surrounding the steering
column proper. These rods are oper-
ated by small levers located just un-
der the steering wheel. while the lights
are controlled by the customary pull
and d-push buttons. also carried just un-
der the wheel. The switch. carburetor
adjustment. light and Klaxon horn con-
trols all center so that there Is a mini
mum of effort employed to operate
them. The self-starter is operated in
the usual way by foot pedal
The new Stearns models offer the
largest variety of any seasons out
put. Four, five, six and seven pas
senger touring car bodies are mounted
on either the four or six cylinder chas-
sis. while the same applies to the new
three passenger roadsters. linousines
and landaulets. In addition, the Cleve-
land factory announces two new mod :
els. coupe and Sedan. to be built on
either the four or six cylinder chassis.
Taking into consideration the fact that
altogether the Stearns factory is build
Ing four chassis types-two wheel base
lengths in both the four and six cylin-
der models-it is quickly seen that the
new Stearns line is most complete in
every detail.
There has been practically no note
worthy change in the motor in either
the four or six cylinder models The
motor sizes remain the same as last
season. namely. 4Ax51a inches In the
four cylinder product and 4Ax5aa
inches in the six. In the six cylinder
the chassis remains practically the
same as last year. so far as basic ideas
are concerned, but In the four cylinder
type the transmission has been re-
moved forward from the rear axle TO
amidships. This change in no way af-
fects the well known rear axle con-
struction which has been feature of
the Stearns product for a great many
years and which is admitted to be about
the strongest construction which is
possible to use. This consists of a solid
forging extending from one rear wheel
to the other, being split in the middle
to carry the bevel and pfnion and diff
ferential gears. and being bored from
the center TO the ends to carry the
boating drive shafts.

FARMERS DEMAND TRUCKS
Thomas b. Jeffery Company of This
City Has Many Orders

The farmers. this year particularly,
are buying motor cars as never before.
Twenty cars left the Jeffery factory
overland few. days ago for Rockford,
III. Then more went to South Bend,
Ind. More went to central Iowa and
another string TO the coast, most OF
them TO be delivered to farmers. The
Thomas B. Jeffery company of San
Francisco is selling many cars to the
farmers in this territory, which proves
that crops are very good.

Drivers Violate Rules
Police Get Complaints

Numerous complaints have been
received from citizens by the po-
lice department against the viO-
Iation OF section rs of the recent
traffic ordnance by the drivers of
automobiles in this city.
The complaints aI1ege that the
drivers do not slow down or
keep the required four feet to
the right of steps of ~treetcars
which are dfscharging passen-
gers. 1t lis alleged the drivers in
many eases fail to honk their
horn. and dash by the cars at a
fair clip of speed, endangerfnE
the lives of hundreds of persons
daily.
Lieutenant Duncan Natheson.
chief traffic officer of the police
department., declared yesterday
that he would immediately place
plainc1Othes men In different
sections of the city TO catch
these yfolators.
The following Is the section of
the ordinance which 1T is alleged
is being dfsregarded:
Section 1S-yehicIes must keep
at Ienst four feet to the right
from the running board of
streetcar which is taking On or
discharging passengers, and when
this distance can not be main
tained vehicles must stop until
the car has started.

PIONEER AUTO co. DOES
LARGE BUSINESS HERE

The Chalmers sales records for the
season of 1913 show that the Carl III.
Page company OF New York stood at
the head OF the list, having sold more
Chalmers cars than any other dealer in
America, whereas the Pioneer Automo-
bile company of San Francisco. Of which
E. P. Brinegar is president, is running
second, having sold the second largest
number OF 1913 Chalmers cars during
the season of 1913. IL is as well a sig
nificant fact that during the last five
years more Chalmers cars have been
sold in New York city, as well as in San
Francisco, than any other car on the
market costing $500 or more.
Mr.. Page anticipates making trans
continental trip in Chalmers car some

COST OF RIPARIAN LANDS.

The experience of Perth Amboy in trying to
secure riparian rights at street ends is being
duplicated by Newark in that city's efforts to
secure 1,400 feet of the land frontage under
water on Newark bay. There, however, the Ri
parian Commission has asked the city $50 per
foot. This is $40 cheaper than hat asked of
Perth Amboy, but when it is realized that
Newark bay today is very shallow and except
ing for a narrow channel is navigable only for
small boats, it is readily seen that the land is
not worth as much as our own water front.
All told, Newark will require 1000 feet, the
price for which will be $120,000, which the
city must pay to the state treasury.
There is some objection offered to this
in Newark. This objection is justified, just as
it is here, when the application for the rights
is made by a municipality. There seems to be
no reason why Perth Amboy or Newark
should pay money into the state treasury for
the benefit of the state, merely to obtain rights
within the city's own borders. As this is the
law, however, there is no way of getting
around it, only it must apply the same to ev-
cry municipality.
Perth Amboy wants her street ends and is
willing to pay $40 per foot for the rights. If
other cities should receive the rights for moth
ing, however, Perth Amboy wants the same
advantage.

TEACHING GIRLS TO COOK.

Such a menu as was served to the Board
of Education and superintendent of schools by
the domestic science class of the high school
Thursday night, is worthy of more than pass
ing notice. That high school girls are able to
get up such a banquet, preparing everything
themselves and serving it in a tasteful man
ner, marks a new epoch in educational affairs
in Perth Amboy.
While it is necessary that young women
should have a thorough education in all the
general branches, it must be gratifying to
the parents to realize that at the same time
they are learning something practical that can
be put to everyday use when school days are
over.
1t is interesting to note that some of the
girls who take the greatest interest in this do
nestle science course and who are among the
best in the class, are ranked among the most
backward in other studies Of the high school.
1t all goes to show that everybody has some
thing in which they can excel, or to which they
are especially adapted. We believe it should
be a part of every educational system to find
out the characteristic of each individual stu
dent and, while insisting upon general educa-
ton, have the student specialize in the course
i'll which he seems naturally bent.
Girls who learn to cook while at school and
at the same time make a study of the food
values of the various articles prepared, learn
ing what foods are best served together and
how to prepare them in the most appetizing
manner, are not only learning something that
will be of great service to them in their fu-
ture life, but are preparing to make homes
happy and families contented.
The domestic science course in the high
school is of the greatest Importance. We be-
lieve that it will tend to draw a greater num-
Der of girls to the high school courses because
parents will be glad for them to derive this
practical knowledge which they could not gain
outside of school. While eventually they may
learn to cook the ordinary foods that the av-
erage person needs, it is hardly likely they
would ever secure knowledge of the food val
ues, neither would they gain the insight as to
how to prepare food in such q variety of at
ways. AT the same time, through
work in domestic science, the student is likely
to take an interest in other studies so that the
education is greatly increased along all lines.

FOR THE TEE PLANT.

Without loss of time the Board of Trade has
started after what would be, if accomplished
one of the greatest booms this city has ever
had. We refer to the new plant of the Beth
lehem Steel Works, which Charles M. Schwah
is about to erect at Bethlehem, Pa, to take
care of the iron ore which is to be shipped to
this country from Chile. We believe that
with the matter properly presented to Mr.
Schwab he will readily see the advantage Of
locating his steel plant at Perth Amboy in
stead of so far inland. At any rate, the mat
ter is we'll worth looking after.
Perth Amboy has water facilities that at
tract all such plants where the raw material is
imported, and Mr.. Schwah's boats can be ac-
c~ommodated along with the rest, particularly
as soon as the channels are made deeper.
Perth Amboy should leave no stone unturned
in an effort to bring this important industry
to this city

KEEP SCHOOL BUILDINGS CLEAN.

Ihe public school buildings in this city will
be kept in first-class condition if the %janitors
live up to the rules recently adopted by the
Board Of Education. We believe that this
action on the part Of the board will have the
hearty approval Of every citizen.
Too much care cannot be taken for the
preservation of the children's health. 1t is
freely admitted by those who have made a
study of our modern school system that one
Of the greatest sources of disease is the school
ROOM 1t is also recognized that the mental
strain placed upon the younger pupils in par
a%tieulara by compelling them to sit for hours at
4 time III what are often poorly ventilated
rooms, breaks down the most robust c~onstitu-
ton and causes many a child to grow up puny
and delicate.
1t is being more and more realized that what
the growing child needs first of all is outdoor
exercise with plenty of fresh air, rather than
so much indoor work. Home study is being
frowned upon and the agitation is growing for
shorter hours for the lower grades.
Those familiar with the schoolroom know
that most of the recitations can be heard in a
school is in session under the present system
the little folk are given what is known as
s'busy work" If instead of being given
"busy work" they could be turned out into a
well equipped playground where they could
expand their lungs with fresh air and exer-
else their muscles, which the growing child de
mands, a big Improvement would be noticed,
not only in the physical condition of the pupil,
but in mental capacity in the years to come,
when real hard study starts.
But these are things that are beyond the
power of any local Board of Education to con-
troll. State laws govern them to a large ex-
tent and those who make the state laws have
not yet awakened to the necessity of such re-
forms. Local school boards can, however,
control the conditions in the respective schools
under their charge. 1t is apparent that the
board in this city is thoroughly alive to its OPP
portunities in this respect and is placing the
Perth Amboy schools in a line with the more
advanced cities in regard to looking after the
physical condition of the pupils,
While the new rules place a great deal more
work on the %janitors, we do not believe they
will be overworked in performing their in
creased duties. Keeping the school houses alb
solutely clean and using disinfectants freely,
will go a great way toward preventing dis
ease which spreads so rapidly wherever a large
body of children is assembled. 1t is crafty
ing to know that Perth Amboy has "A school
board composed of men who are capable of
going into such a matter as this, thereby af-
fording every protection.
Every household viii be benefited and Perth
Amboy will be decidedly a better city to live
In as a result Of the improved conditions.
