EMPIRE CAR MARKS
NEW DIXIE ROUTE
II. M. McDermid Drives Pathfinder
from South Bend to Tampa
and Jacksonville.
NEW EMPIRE AT OMAHA SHOW

Definite action toward the launching Of
Hoosieriand TO Dixie highway will be
taken on April s. next, when the govern
ors of the states to be traversed by the
route will meet at Chattanooga and will
decide upon a cooperative plan for the
construction of the highway.
The new route. which connects with the
Lincoln Highway at South Bend, is the
latest development of the Good Roads
movement which is growing steadily
throughout the country. The main points
along this highway are Indianapolis,
Louisville, Nashville. Chattanooga, At
lanta and Tampa, with optional routes to
Jacksonville and Mama. This is the
route recently laid out by II. NJ. McDer-
md, who made the pathfinding trip in
1915 empire touring car.
This latest Empire product shows, un-
mstakahiy the European Influence of de-
Sign in an attractive streamline body and
conforms to the American demand for
convenience with complete equipment. A
marked feature Is the extra roominess of
this new body. The seats are set ex-
cptionally low which gives high back sup
port with general low appearance. Turk
ish upholstering is carried throughout
with deep seat cushions,
Supplementing the touring car is a
roadster conforming in general lines and
notable for liberal baggage carrying space
under rear deck.
Mounted on Standard Chassis.
Both body types are mounted on the
standard Empire chassis which has been
carried through five seasons without
sweeping change in any basic principle of
construction, a fact which speaks we'll
for its sturdiness, and has been desig-
mated as the ideal light car chassis be-
cause of its simplicity. Remy electric
starting and lighting is standard on all
Empire cars and is covered by one year
guarantee. All driving parts transmits.
sions and axles are made 50 per cent over
size as an additional factor Of safety.
All cars are provided with non-skid tires
on the rear.
Empire activity during show week will
be conferred In display OF the Empire
line at the booth OF the company at the
Omaha show.

Belgian Relief Fund.

All Now England people are urged to
contribute funds at once for the pur-
chase of new clothing and shoes for the
Belgians. In no other way can relief be
50 quickly and securely given to these
people. The New England Belgian Re-
| lief Fund has thoroughly investigated
their needs, and the methods of meeting
them, and it is satisfied that whatever
we send will actually reach the war suf-
ferers. We shall adopt the suggestions
of Mr.. Herbert G. Hoover, Chairman OF
the Commission for Relief in Belgium,
who has just visited this country. With
out this help three millions of people
will 90 without clothes and without
shoes the coming winter.
Cloth can be sent, as it Is now possible
to have this made up into clothes in
Belgium by destitute Belgian workmen,
who are thus given employment.
Second hand goods are no longer
wanted, as the regulations of foreign
povernm ents forbid their entry into Hol-
land and Belgium.
Arrangements are being perfected for
purchase and transportation, free OF cost
to US, and we feel safe in assuring the
people of New England that we can do
what we undertake.
President Wilson has cordially ap-
proved this relief work and appointed a
supplementary committee to help.
The Commission for Relief In Belgium
and other agencies are absolutely taking
care of the needed supply Of food, and
we are especially requested to concen-
tra,e our efforts in the direction Of cloth
ing and shoes.
