MOTOR PARKWAY
AWAITS TOURISTS
Petit Trianon Inn, at Easterly
End, Will Open for Season
Next Saturday.

one OF the signs OF spring in this vi
cinity is the announcement that next
Saturday will be marked by the opening
of the Petit Trianon Inn, at Lake Ron
konkoma, the eastern end Of the Long
Island Motor Parkway. This means that
the Parkway management anticipates the
resumption OF touring, which ceased last
fall with the arrival of cold weather
With three or four weeks OF drying,
and before the average country road will
be at its best. the parkway is likely TO
get a strong play" from the early "one-
dav' tourists Of the metropolis. While
II is an all-year-round proposition for
those who care TO use ii, much OF the
pleasure Of a run down the island comes
in the rest at the inn, which is ideally
situated. Last year, II is said, 5000 cars
made use OF the parkway. The number
will probably be greater this season, as
q is the intention TO make the all-day
tickets good for entering or leaving an
often as desired.
The Long Island Motor Parkway Is
now considered complete, so far as length
and surface are concerned. From us
westerly end, in Queens, it extends for
forty-fve miles 10 Lake Ronkonkoma,
making an unbroken thoroughfare that
is dustless and practically without speed
restrictions.

BERLIN BUILDING
A NOVEL SPEEDWAY
Ten-Mile Stretch for Motor

Undertaking.
RUNS THROUGH THE

Parallel Roadways Will Be 70

Special Bridges.

American motorists touring Europe next

,unity TO drive their cars over the ne"
automobile speedway that IL being con
structed through the Grunewsld. just out
side Of Berlin. and which is to be one OF
the finest of the exclusive automobile
roads OF the world.
The road, upon which 900 men are
now working night and day, assisted oy
immense steam shoveis and other I'M
proved road machinery, is to be ten mlles
long. without grade crossings, bridges
being constructed where other ROAD
cross. and also TO give pedestrians az
opportunity to go from one side 10 the
other OF the speedway
The road is being built in two courses
each with a surfaced width OF eignt
metres (about 26.25 feet, and with an
unpayed centre strip OF the same width
as each OF the roadways. The construc-
ton is a three-course tar macadam, with
concrete curbs.
The bridges are an especially interesting

The material for the new road, which
runs straightway through the forest
through the southwest Of Berlin. is being
brought by water from Masdeburg and
then transferred by special unloading ma

AUTO INDUSTRY Is
ON A SOLID BASIS
Should Not Be Classed as
Mushroom Growth"
Says j., N. WHY'S.

There are some people who insist that
the automobile industry is a mushroom
growth, subject to the slightest variations
in business conditions and likely to take a
fatal slump on the shortest notice says
John n. WHY'S, president OF the WHY'S
Overland Company, OF Toledo, Ohio.
ITO such people | can only say: Read
the report recently made by the commit
tee OF the Chicago Association OF Com
MERGE There is enough information in
this single document TO set at rest the
fears OF even the most ignorant and the
most confirmed pessimist. And the IN
formation is backed by the indisputable
evidence of figures. too.
THE report shows that approximately
$500. 900 900 will be spent in this country
during 1914 for automobiles. The develop
ents OF past years has shown us that
the percentage of buyers who could not
afford to purchase cars was so small as
to be unimportant. This ] consider
pretty good refutation OF the claim that
any money that might better be spent for
bread has been going into automobiles
Here are other figures that are inter
esting. The report shows that the COM
bined horsepower of all the motors built
in the United States this year is pract-
cally eighty-three times as great as the
$40 600 horsepower developed by the great
water power dam at Keokuk, Iowa. l
know these figures are correct, for the
fifty thousand Overlsnds which are being
built in our Toledo plant alone have
combined horsepower over ive and half
times as great az the dam.
The State of California has an auto
mobile to every twenty-five inhabitants,
registered in the Secretary Of State Of
fee. In a single year we export S3,coo,OoO
worth of automobiles. New York State
alone has more cars registered than are
in use in Germany and France com
bned, and both these countries have al
ways been regarded as pioneers in the
production of motor propelled vehicles.
"All these figures are authentic. There
are scores OF other compilations which
might be made, showing that hundreds
of thousands of people throughout the
country are making better living out
OF the automobile industry than they
could otherwise hope for. And still some
OF our professional 'goomers' claim they
can see rocks ahead

American made automobiles were sold
last year in all parts OF the world. con-
siderable numbers going TO the United

as many as in 1910, and to France s2l, or
four times as many as in 1910 In each
case the figures for 1913 were the largest
on record.
Canada continues TO be the largest
single customer for American automo-
biles. though the 6.O51 cars exported
thereto in 1918 are slightly less than the
number exported TO Canada in 1872
namely. 7,42l cars. In addition to 5000
600 worth OF complete automobiles eX-
ported from the United States to Canada
last year, about 900 worth Of parts

Recently a country newspaper an
nounced that 3,0F hogs had beer
lost from cholera and placed theil
value at $29,S55. In the same county
during that period, ~ babies died Of
cholera infantum. Their value was
estimated in economic figures as being
S14S, 900. While the comparison was
merely arbitrary and done to show
the economic waste caused eve when
humans die, the paper which publish
ed the hog loss refused to give the
baby item any publicity.
How to prevent infant mortality is
becoming more and more a serious
study in the different communities
The science of child welfare is being
placed upon a practical basis, and
few communities now are as far be
hind as that one which seemed to
think loss from hog cholera of great

through an epidemic.
There is great DON for improve.
ment yet. In many localities the dis,
eases of animals receive more atten.
ton from state and federal officials
than the various ills which claim
thousands as their victims among hui
nan beings. y
When a baby pig dies, tile farmer
realizes that the death represents a
money loss and that the death should
have been prevented. Y
While grief and a sense of loss is
more potent when a child dies, the
economic waste is not considered.
The death is viewed largely from the
sentimental side.
But there is a great economic waste
there and some organization similar
to that which stamps out epidemics
among animals under the stimulus OF
federal and state support should also
safeguard the health Of the men, wOm'

Local health boards and states are
doing much, but a federal health
board is necessary just as a federal
animal husbandry department is vital

what Japan has to do is to make
agriculture the main vocation of the

that without agriculture there is nc

In conclusion, Viscount Tajiri warns
his fellow countrymen thus:
