DOZEN BOSTON FIREMEN
OVERCOME BY GAS.
Were Dragged from Cellar of Building
Where They Were Fighting Fire.

Boston. Aug. 31.-A dozen firemen,
some of them unconscious from gas
fumes, were dragged by comrades from
the cellar of the building at the cor
ner of Commercial wharf and Atlantic
avenue today when a fire they were
fighting burned away the connection
of a big gas meter, allowing the gas
to flood the apartment. AS they were
removed from the cellar the f1remen
were placed in a row on the sidewalk
and a hurried call was sent for ambu-
lances. Only four. however, were so
badly overcome that they were taken
to a hospital. The fire, which started
from some unknown cause, damaged a
wholesale tea and coffee warehouse to
the extent OF about $4,000.

| Just as certain events in the financial | and sporting world have come to be | looked upon as indicating the trend of things for the coming year, so the an- nual announcements of the Rec Motor
 Car company is considered by experienced
 motorists and those in the automobile trade
 One reason for this is undoubtedly the
 fact that the Rec company invariably
 makes it's announcements in September, whereas others are usually made in June
 The other reason is the enviable posi- ton the Rec occupies in the industry Its stability (one of the strongest financial ly) and the fact that Rec values as an- nounced from time to time go long way toward setting the standards.
 This year, perhaps more than ever be. fore, motorists have looked forward to the Rec announcement and there has been considerable discussion as to wheth- CT this conservative concern would an- nounce any radically new models or would stick to types of cars that have become recognized as standard.
 Few in the trade expected Reo to join the radicals. Rec success, based on what might be termed ultraconservatlsm, had been so remarkable that few ex- pected any departure from the beaten course.
 The expected has happened. The Rec announcement made throughout the Uni ted States this Sunday will undoubtedly create tremendous sensation. but 1t will not be because of radically new features in the two models The sensation Is found In the unexpectedly low price for next years Reos, coupled with the manifest improvements and refinements in both of them
 To predict which of the two Reo models will be the leader for the coming year would be impossible. Last year there was no leader In the Reo line Tho two models. the famous Rec the Fifth, and the Rec Six seemed to run neck and neck.
 From the outside it might have looked as if the Six had little lead because the output of that model was sold August l, while Reo the Fifth continued to August 20. That did not, however, indi- cate a greater relative demand than for the Four. It simply proved that the company very greatly underestimated the demand for the Six" while feeling con fident of that for Reo the Fifth the in- comparable Four" which is now the old est four.cylinder car in America
 Rec the Fifth has been made in essen- tially the same form for now five years. That it has survived the onslaughts of radicalism and experimentation, and one new model after another, is the best evil dence of it's quality.
 Last Sunday the Rec company made one of the most remarkable announce ments which has ever been made by any manufacturer. That was -t to the effect that s.rTnday thera fsn't paW Roo auto- mobile of any model for sale in the world" At the time this announcement is made the status is still the same, al- though deliveries of dealers demonstra- tors will commence in the next few days

man in the world in the northern part of Alabama, and that this man directed him to follow the meanest road ih the world when he asked him for a direct route to Guntersville.
 MT. Arnold said he was near fork in the road. One branch of the road was and as good as one could wish for The-other branch was little more than a COW path with the under brush removed. Stones galore awaited the yielding rubber of his tires with fiend- ish glee. Some stretches that caused his engine to labor excessively were placed at frequent intervals along S0-mile stretch. He knew nothing whatever about either road. and was anxious to take the dii ect route to Guntersville. So he asked householder. who lived hard by. which was the direct route to Guntersville.
 Right down thataway, stranger" was the answer, and MT. Arnold's eye followed the direction of the bony finger.
 He groaned when he saw that the route lay over the toughest road he had seen since leaving Detroit. But he was game. and the rest of the party were game. so they started boldly out on thef road to Guntersville.
 After travelling for some miles they dis covered the road they were on joined the ma cadamized road they had left, and also learned from another tourist that they had been hoaxed by the native informer and that really the pike road was the most direct road to Guntersville.
 It was a long way back to the natives house, so they decided not to go back and murder him.
 Mir. Arnold was loud in his praise ( the Overland car. and said he would not have believed any automobile could have so well survived the gruelling- drive had he not actually travelled with the car.

TOURING INCREASES DESPITE THE RAINS Automobile Touring Shows an Increase of 300
 Per Cent

Washington, D. C., September 11.-(Spe- cial.)-Although the weather reports throughout the United States show an increase being more than 300 per cent automobile touring has increased, over any previous year, for all sections of the country. The east continues to show the lions share of cars from other sec- tions, with New England maintaining it's position in having cars displaying the license plates of nearly every state in the union.
 Transcontinental touring also coptinues to grow in the number of cars en route. The various highway associations look ing after the different routes have not let the weather discourage them and are continually at work repairing any dam- age to the roads caused by the rains. On some of them a patrol system is maintained and weekly bulletins issued showing exact conditions from point to point even where these conditions are not favorable.
 These transcontinentalists are wide- spread in their home points of departure, the records of the Touring Bureau of the American Automobile association both at the Washington and the New York headquarters. show that the bu- reau is routing cars not merely from the Atlantic seaboard. but from all the great farming states west of the Mis- sissippi river and between the Canadian and Mexican borders.
 This routing demand has made the transcontinental automobile map, showing all the established routes across the coun- try, one of the most popular of the many route maps issued by the touring bu- reau of the A. A. A.

FIRST STORY OF A
 REAL AUTOMOBILE

Alfred O. Dunk, president of the De- troiter Motor Car company. declares that the first genuine automobile write-up ap- peared in the Scientific American, Octo- Der ?, 1s45.
 The editor Says:
 "There is an arrangement in the ma chinery by which the power of the en- zine is applied to both driving wheels equally and uniformly notwithstanding the occasional excess of motion in one of the wheels in passing corners or curves. Another peculiarity is that the force applied may be occasionally in creased by leverage consequently reduc- ing the speed to such an extent that one horse power of steam will propel as great load as can be drawn by six horses. One of the uses to which this carriage is to be applied is to draw harrow, blow, lift stumps or rocks and do other agri- cultural work.
 ''The cost will not exceed $500 and the weight not exceed 600 pounds. The speed will evidently be 10 miles per hour on good carriage roads. The rider and man. ager is perfectly safe from any harm by explosion and can manage the ma chinery, replenish the fire and guide the carriage at the same time. There can be no doubt of its ultimate complete sue. cess"

Won Suit for 6 Cents

1T
 Detroit-Attorney Frank R. Martin sued John H. Kane for 6 cents and wor before Justice Marschner. The fact that the costs and time involved in tic case amounted to several hundred tune $ the cents did not detract from tEe joy of victory.
 Martin sighed with satisfaction as he jingled 6 pennies which Kane took from his pocket with great reluctance.
 Several months ago Martin was rs- tained by Kane's wife to represent her in a suit for divorce against her husband. Sometime later Kane, amohg other divers things said to Martin "You are a cur you have ruined my home"
