TOURISTS WILL SPEND
MILLIONS THIS YEAR
Transcontinental Automobile Travel
Will Leave Big Sums in
States Traversed.

Reduced to figures that will demon
strate the monetary returns from the
great volume of transcontinental trav-
ell that will be done this year. the most
conservativ estimate is well borne out
by the inquiries for touring and route
information received at the Washing
ton and New York touring bureaus
of the American Automobile Assocla-
ton April 1 the total was 1905. Facts
supplied by all these inquiries Indicate
an average of four persons to car
Placing the average expenditure at 80
per head per dienl-and this sum
makes allowance for portion that
will camp out at least some OF the
way-this plainly shows net income
of not less than $4,000 to each of the
states crossed AS the season for this
information has hardly started. 1t can
readily be seen that the amount OF
money which will be spent in each OF
the states by the automobile tourlsts
will run into seven figures.
Whatever estimate may have been
made as to the amount Of touring tnat
will be done this year in the uniteo
States, 1t will fall far short OF the ac-
tual count This view of the situation
Is warranted by the enormous increase
in the number of inquiries being
handled this spring by the A. A. a.
This increase over any previous year
records not only comes from the mem
bership Of the national body OF motor
car owners, but also through the vari-
Gus chambers of commerce and nke
business associations between the At
lantic and Pacific oceans. These IN
ouiries logically find their way to the
national body of organized motorists
because it has at its command all the
general touring and route information,
and has accumulated a large amount
of unusual data as to roads and condi-
tions. Contributions are continuously
being received from the more than
100. 900 memb ership of the A. A. A.
throughout the country.
During the past week there have
come to the national clearing house
of touring and route information the
very latest reports as to present ROAD
conditions between the mississippi
river and tle Sierras. These reports
have been sent In by twenty-one cham
bers Of commerce and road assoc1a-
tions. and have been added to by state
highway officials outlining the work TO
be done during the next sixty days
This applies not only to the east ana
west main arteries of travel, which
will be most particularly used by the
automobilist in crossing the continent,
but also to the many north and south
feeders and scenic detours

TESTING FUEL EFFICIENCY.
Two Methods, Economy and Power.
to Be Considered.

There are two methods of judging the
;; efficiency of fuel combustion in a gaso-
line motor; one is by economy and the
second is by power. The correct power
adjustment in a carbureter is never the
one which is the most economical. Inc
reason for this is that after a car has
been brought up to certain speed, the
power required to keep it running at that
speed on a level road is relatively very
slight Hence the number of heat units
in the shape of fuel which 1t is neces-
sary to consume in the cylinder IS not
the maximum which could be consumed
at the motor speed required to keep the
car running at the rate in question
On the other hand, where the maxi
mum power of motor is to be required,
such as for running at high speeds. or
through continually varying conditions
of grade etc. it may be necessary to set
power and to sacrifice accordingly Ger
tain amount of economy. Following this
through, the reason for a varying cond1-
tion of mixture for low speed and high
speed may be, without going too deeply
into the theoretical end of the question.
that at low speeds a heavy sustained
torque is required. while at high speeds
quick-f1ring. snappy mixture is suffi-
cient.
Again, the rate Of combustion depends
to a large extent on the compression.
Compression is higher at high speeds
than it is at low speeds, and hence the
conditions of combustion are different.

QUIZ FOR ROAD BUILDERS.
Six States Have Civil Service Ex-
aminations Now,

Six states, namely. Illinois. Kentucky.
Massachusetts. New Jersey. New York
and Wisconsin. now have civil service
laws providing for appointment OF high
way engineers and employees in accord
ance with the merit system. A de
scription Of the system in effect in each
of the six states appears in the Good
Roads Year Book just issued by the
American Highway Association in this
city.
The summary of automobile legislation
in all the states is of timely interest in
view Of the fact that nearly 100000
automobiles were registered in the
United states during 1914. for which
more than s12.ooo.o00 in license fees
was paid.
A majority of the states are now try

partially or wholly dispensed with. In

either under the contract or the force

state highway commissioner, condemns
the contract system, contending that
under the force account" better results
are obtained. both for the county and
for the convict.
Agree on Regulations.
When the work is carried on under
the force account system the highway
tendent of prisons agree as to the rules
and regulations for working the con-
victs. The prisoners are then turned
over to the highway commissioner. the
superintendent only supplying the
guards, who are subject to the approval
of the highway commissioner.
Better results could be obtained .
said Z. Stagg Within. speaking for the
prison labor committee, III the prison
department remained responsible for
the care of the men, as is the case In
West Virginia. The highway depart
ment is organized to build roads; the
prison department to care for the
prisoners. Cooperation between the
two departments is essential to the
successful development Of convict road
work"
Even under the present system OF
handling the men, Commissioner Cole
man is convinced, after eight years ex-
perience, that prison labor is just as
satisfactory and efficient as any other
class of common labor. with the addi-
tional advantage Of being regular and
under perfect control.
The state board of charities and cor
rect!on, which inspects the county road
camps. confirms the commissioner
statement. The board states that the
men seem satisfied at the camps, and
as a rule, improve physically after be-
ing sent to the camps. The board fur

ENGLAND HAD BUT FEW
AUTOS SUITED TO WAR
Surprising Revelations Are Made in
Regard to Belligerents'
II Motor Power.

One of the surprising features Of this
war is the revelations it has made CT
the respective automobile strength OF
England. France and Germany. Ac-
cording to the most reliable statistics.
England had decided lead over any
other European country in the number
of commercial vehicles and motor
cccles. slight lead over France in the
number Of private cars and substan-
tiaI lead over Germany.
The indications were that France and
England would put into the field a
greater number of automobiles than
Germany possessed. 1t is now seen
that for military purposes England
possessed a mere handful of automo-
biles. Her subsidy scheme had not met
with success. The war department
fixed on certain type. admirably suit
I'd for its purpose. and asked manufac-
turers to build IL and the public to buy
II. Neither party responded, with the
result that when war broke out the
English authorities had to requisite on
thousands of trucks in the hands of
private owners and had to place orders
for the ordinary commercial type with
very manufacturer willing to execute
the same.
But Few Steam Wagons.
From the day war broke out until the
present moment acquisitions of suita BILE
types of trucks have been carried out.
until commercial England now pos
sesses only it's steam wagons, the
trucks of absolute necessity to civil and
military home life and the older mod
els unsuitable for sending abroad.
In France the situation was different,
for although the French army. like

was able to make use of its we'll de-
veloped subsidy scheme. which auto
trucks into army service with the call
TO mobilization. This, however. was
not sufficient, and after the subsidy
types had all been taken other pri-
yateIy owned vehicles were requisi-
toned. until France is more completely
cleared of privately owned trucks than
is England. So searching has been the
call that it is doubtful if there are to
six automobile trucks not in direct
army service in public work on
which the army is dependent.
Passes for Motorists.
Every motorist in France is regis
tered with the police and ca. les a
police driving license bearing his pho
tograph. place of birth, age, residence.
etc. This. however. is only a peace
time precaution. Such a measure is al
together insufficient when the nation is
at war. In Paris and district no man
is allowed to travel by automobile until
he has secured a special pass from the
police. The ordinary pass allows him to
travel in the Seine ct Disc district, or
about eight miles east of the city and
thirty miles in a westerly direction.
This pass must be renewed every fort
night: il mentions the number and
sometimes the names of the persons
who can travel In the car: 1t is exam
ined by the police every time the driver
passes through the gates of Paris; it Is
called for from time to time on the
road. and IL used for any other than
the area indicated the car may be con-
fiscated.

State Boards Program.

The state board of forestry, which is
charged with the administration OF the
roadside tree law. is prepared to CO.
operate with towns. associations ana
individuals in the work of planting
trees along the streets and highways
Suitable trees can be purchased along
Marylands highways at a cost of 81
to 81 each. Trees that grow to a large
size should be spaced not less than NJ :
ty feet apart, while those that do nor
reach as great u size should be spaced
from thirty to forty feet apart N
the first case it would take about 1oo
to the mile, and i'll the second oOo TO
$50 to the mile.
So many people would be directly
benefited by the planting of the trees
that a small contribution from large
number would easily pay the cost OF
the work and give each a financial IN
terest in an investment for the welfare
of the community.
In order to assist in this movement
and furnish demonstration of well
shaded highways the Maryland state
board of forestry will furnish free To-
Gust or tulip poplar trees for mile of
planting in each county of the state,
also supplying competent man to
supervise the work.

DOUBLE CELEBRATION
Arbor Day and Highway Day in
Maryland-Roadside Tree
Law Anniversary.

Arbor. day and Highway day. by.proe-
lamation of, !. GOV. Goldsborough of
Maryland Friday, April .. has thtseyear
special significance, because it is the
first anniversary .of.the passage of the
roadside tree law by the Legislature of
1914. This law places all trees now
growing beside the roadways or along
the streets of incorporated towns un-
der the supervision of the state. IN
addition to the care and protection or
existing trees the law provides for
the planting of others.
Maryland has spent approximately
S15.000.000 lin constructing improved
roads, which compare favorably with
any in the country. The next step In
their Improvement is to beautify them
and make them more attractive by the
planting of shade trees.
