AUTOMOBILE CLUB NOTES.

A map of the automobile route from the
National Capital to Mount Vernon is being
prepared for members of the District club
and visiting motorists. 1t is the work of
A. G. Seller, the clubs craftsman. In
making the trip by this map nothing will
be left to the imagination. 1t will point
the way unerrngly and over the very best
highway 1t is being prepared in strip
form and can be read both ways. showing
the mileage going and returning. This is
the first of a series of maps showing the
route to interesting points in the vicinity
of Washington, which will be forwarded
to club members as early as completed.

will include side trips to all points of in
terest in the western United States. is
being mapped out for him by Touring Di-
rector Ferguson. Not only is Mr. Fergu-
son to name the route which Mr.. Hough
will follow. but he has made complete
list of all the necessary articles that
should be included on a trip of this char
acter. When Mr.. Hough starts on his
journey he will not leave in doubt any
thing connected with 1t.
A. Leo We'll, member of the Pittsburgh

A hill-climbing contest will be held
by the National Capital Motor Cycle
CLUB at MAYORS Hill. Anacostia. Sat
urday afternoon. August =. Contestants
in the first class will start up the Hill
promptly at 2:30 o'clock and a program
OF four classes is expected to be run
off by 6 o'clock The program as sub
mitted by the committee in charge and
adopted at the last meeting of the club
is:
Class AMATEUR. 61-inch. stock ma
chimes with regular equipment less
muffiers: drop handle bars optional:

Class 3-Professional, 61-inch, open
Glass professional, 6l-inch, multi
speed: regular equipment less mufflers:
flying start.
The last event of this kind promoted
by the club. held November 25. was sol-
lowed by great deal of dissatisfacI.-
because of the fact that the contest was
held under the Federation of American
Motor Cyclists formula, in which pis-
ton displacement and weight of ma
chine and rider figured. as well as time.
The only condition that will govern
the contest this year will be the time
made by the rider between the start
and finish lines. The committee in
charge, consisting of Tommy" Dodge,
D. A. Darroch and A. o. Durham, is
working hard to make the affair a sue
cess The same electrical timing device
used last year, which gave complete
satisfaction, will be in use. This device
was manufactured and operated by
Dodge, and is semi-automatic in action.
An application to the police depart
ment to close MAYORS Hill to traffic on
the afternoon of the contest has been
favorably received, and a special detail
of police has been requested. Remem-
bering the efficient services of the Boy
Scouts last year, a letter has been sent
the scout commissioner requesting the
cooperation of the young troopers In
keeping the road clear of spectators. A
large crowd of interested spectators
witnessed the contest last Thanksgiv-
ing day. and as the coming event has a
larger program with promise of more
entries, still larger crowd is expected
August I.
The first class of the program is open
to riders who have never won prize
in competition. Their machines must
be equipped as specified in the respect
i've catalogues, except the muller may
be removed and the rider has the OPP
ton of using racing handlepars. This
class should bring out a large entry.
Class is for machines of the two
and three speed variety, and VIII start
at line at the foot OF the hill. This
event will not only demonstrate the
ability of the machines to get under
way under adverse conditions, but will
show the skill of the rider in shifting
gears and handling his machine.

Features Establish Reliability.

1.-THE collection of house refuse is
work which is particularly trying for
the ordinary steam or petrol motor We
hicle, on account of the many stops
and starts. The absence of all gear
changing and clutch work in the cleo
trio vehicle, and the uniformly easy
drive produced by the electric motor,
are features which establish a degree
of reliability for this type of vehicle
in such work, together with an econ
omy in operation which are impossible
of attainment by any other type.
1T possesses the advantages also
that when standing, no waste of power
is going on. such as takes place with
the petrol vehicle. in connection with
which it is unreasonable to expect the
driver to stop and restart his engine
for every short halt.
There is another strong argument in
favor of adopting the electric when the
change Is made from horse haulage to
motor traction. viz, it is possible when
that type is employed. to utilize the
horse vehicle drivers as the drivers of
the new vehicles, because the mechan-
ism Is so simple that driving an cleo
trio is no more difficult than driving
docile horse.
Electric vehicles have been employ
ed to a considerable extent on the con-
tinent for refuse collection. Each has
a capacity of little over fifteen cubic
yards, which, since the local refuse
averages some three cubic yards to the
ton, makes the total load of the full
vehicle not less than five tons. The
vehicles perform their work during the
night hours. each covering about
twenty-five miles nightly, with an
energy consumption per vehicle mile
of from Is 20 L. units. This system
of collection was adopted as the re-
suit of a very careful trial made by
the civic authorities which showed
that considerable economy would be
obtainable b. the use of electric
vehicles

and managed the affair with skill.
Stimulating active interest in electrics
abroad has been one of the aims oil
the Electric Vehicle Association. and
most gratifying results have been OBJ
tanned in New Zealand. Australia,
japan, South America and other coun-
tries where the association mas sue
ceeded in getting foothold- II IS
therefore very encouraging to Know
that England even now is enthusiastic
for the continued development of cleo
tries.
Cites Several Advantages.
Frank Ayton. the secretary OF the
electric vehicle committee. read very
valuable paper on electric vehicles III
municipal service at the time OF the
demonstration Mr.. Ayton maintains
that the main reason for urging the
adoption of electric vehicles i'll 'nu-
inequalities is the degree OF economy
which attends their use in SUBSTITUTION
for horse haulage. The passing OF the
horse is inevitable. ana the substitu-
ton of self propelled vehicles only
matter of time. Durability. reliability.
cleanliness and safety are points which
MIR. Ayton strongly urges upon monlei-
palitieS.
In connection with central station
co-onera ton, he says: What would H.
thought today of an electric supply IN
dertaking that lighted its generating:
station and offices with gas: Ana !et
that state of affairs if 1t existed
would be just on a par with the under
taking which wants the electric We
hicle business and yet continues to en-
ploy horse haulage, and in some cases
petrol motor TRANSPORT Tor IT'S own
work How can any central station
hope to induce the adoption of the elec-
trio vehicle in it's own territory unless
it first sets the example. And very
short experience of the employment OF
a suitable electric for the outside work
of an electric supply department OF any
size will soon make an enthusiast of
any engineer. Apart from its splendid
value and its usefulness
for giving demonstrations, it has many
ether advantages of special value in
this field of employment. For break
down work it will soon be found inval-
uable-it is ready to go out at mo-
ment's notice, and is SO simple to drive
that several of the main staff may be
taught to operate it in order that there
shall always be driver available.

Must Start Twenty Years Back.

Study of the conditions of the peo-
pie and country made the German and
English successful in South America
The United States has the same chance,
but she must start twenty years back
and attack the problem in the same
way. The English. even now, are SELL
ing goods in South America and are
making play for the business from
the countries.
ut takes q salesman of tact and pa
tience to do business in those countries.
He must be willing to await the pleas
ure of the merchant and he must sell
him what he wants to buy, not what
the salesman thinks he ought to pur-
chase.
when the wave of sell to South
America swept the country last fall a
good many merchants imagined they
could dispose of products with ease.
This cannot be done. because what we
call necessities up here are luxuries in
the tropics.
