new SCENIC TOURING
SECTION IS FOUNDED
American Automobile Associa.
ton Combines Lists Of In.
teresting Spots.

A new scenic touring section has
recently been discovered by members
of the touring bureau OF 1.-THE American
Automobile Association. This section
embraces a portion Of the Appalachian
mountain system both In Virginia and
West Virginia-that area west OF
Staunton and north Of Hot and White
Sulphur Springs.
The different routes combine all that
goes to make up enticing views and
compares fully with the famed sights
OF California. Colorado. the White
Mountains. or the Italian Alps. Much
of 1t is virgin ground as to sight-seers
and tourists, but Is destined to not long
remain in that position now that See
ing America" has become a fact rather
than fancy.
There are long and gradual mountain
climbs Of easy grades that rarely re-
quire dropping back into second, with
peaceful valley vistas with constantly
changing panorama as the mountain
climbs and dips wind about all four
points of the compass. Dotted here
and there are up-to-the-minute farm
buildings. the houses freshly painted.
and the barns two stories high and
with tile silos-and now and then q
prosperous village that looks the part
cd from the mountain crests. or as the
first part Of the dip is made to descend
into the valleys.
There are skyline and eyebrow drives.
long hafy lanes beside purling brooks.
and valley-side roads running for miles
. at the base OF the framing mountains
Throughout much OF the way the road
surface Is Of that shale formation.
which gives such excellent and almost
permanent surface with so little care
At present the only dra wback 10 n
greater influx Of automobile tourists
are the many fords and the lack of
cross drainage causing frequent bitches
ar: -lies across the roads. For those
who want to make yarge daily m!leages
! these conditions act as a bar. but for
those who are content to drive mod
erately that they may enjoy the ever
changing views to the full. these con-
dtions are not Of such great moment
The surveying trip was made by ex.
perts from both the New York and
Washington offices Of the American
Automobile Association. and was part
of the work being done preparatory to
the issuing Of new touring map or
Virginia and West Virginia.

TranScOntinental Bus Line
Via Lincoln Highway

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The rapidity
with which work on the Lincoln High
way is being pushed. coupled with the
popularity of that scenic route with
the transcontinental tourist. leads stu
dents of transportation to believe that
a cross country stage is Il possibility of
the near future.
II is now possible to travel from the
Mexican line to the Canadian boundary
by regular automobile stage lines, and
all the main highways of California are
travelled daily by automobile stages do
ing a heavy interurban transportation
business.
The types of stages used would vary
according to the nature of the ground
covered In the mountains, light trucks
with special bodies would give the serv-
ice; on relatively short runs over good
roads heavy buses with increased seat
ing capacity would be used. but in the
main standard touring cars would be
used.
The fare should be low enough to
compete with the railroads, and, as for
seeing the country, there IL no COM
parison between the automobile and the
railroad.

TAKES STIFF GRADE
:. 9|N GREATEST EASE
Abi|ity Of New National High
way Six Demonstrated in
Trio of Tests.

Three tests OF the hill climbing ability
OF the new National Highway" Six,
clearly demonstrating the remarkable
power of its engine were made on stin
grades in the District early this week.
In each case the start was made from
dead standstill. and the SHIFT into
high" was made as quickly as pos
sible. There were no flying starts. nor
was any advantage taken Of the level
or down-grade approaches. Each start
was made on the first upward inclina-
ton of the rise, so that no impetus
was incidental to the successful result.
The first hill attempted is on Thirty
second street northwest, starting from
.-she small rustic bridge and winding up
ward to Woodland Drive. The car pick
ed up to ten miles an hour at the first
turn, slowed .lown to six miles, and
then regained speed until at the summit
the speedometer registered twelve miles
per hour.
The next test was made on Jewett
street hill, beginning with the broken
ending of the wooden fence at the left,
driving In a general easterly direction.
The car showed gradual Increase in
picking up to fifteen miles in the first
seventy-five yards, and attaining
speed Of twenty-four miles an hour at
The last trail TO rthe car, but by no
means the least difficult-in spite Of the
speed 1t had reached at the summit
is the long. grind from Pierce's Mill, in
Rock Creek Park, up to Connecticut
avenue. The car quickly assumed a
speed Of twelve miles an hour, but lost
pace traversing the wicked winding of
the first two turns where the speed
dropped gradually to six miles. At that
point 1t held. Then as the road opened
again to the straight climb, the car
slowly but certainly gathered speed
eight, ten, fifteen. and when the crest
was reached the little Indicator boasted
twenty-thr miles per hour.
Bert Robertson, sales representative OF
the Combs Motor Company (who are
the local dealers for the NationaD drove
scoring the results of the tests.
The car weighs close to 3.1OO pounds
and the two passengers brought the
total weight UP to approximately 3.425
pounds.
The three splendid performances are
all the more Draiseworthy because the
car used IN their accomplishment is
practically brand new, and before it
was run out Of the salesrooms for the
tests. had been run less than 100 miles.
What it's score under the same tests
would prove after it had been in use
for a thousand miles may only be as
sumed. Assuredly, 1t promises well: how
we'll was aptly expressed by Mr.. Robert

tests: After this car has been run for
