new ENGLAND TO Get MANY
auto TOURISTS This YEAR
Board of Directors of American Auto
mobile Association to Take Initial
Step May IS by Travelling Route
of Paul Revere

Washington, D. c., May S.-New
England is confidently looking forward
to an increased rumber of road visitors,
despite the fact that this year the call
of the Pacific coast is being really rec
ognlzed for the first time.
With nearly two million car owners
now travelling the highways, it is safe
to say that many thousands at one time
or another during the year yield to the
wanderlust which is latent in every
motorst.
In entertaining the annual meeting
of the board of directors of the Amer
lean Automobile Association, May II
and Is, Boston will signaize what
might be considered an official opening
of the road season in New England.
President John A. Wilson has made
clear to the directors that they are at
liberty to bring with them as many
members as possible to participate in
the meeting and also in the entertain
ment which will be interspersed
Former president of the A. A. A. and
the present head of the Massachusetts
State association, Lewis X. Spcare, has
arranged for local committee, of
which Chester 1. Campbell is the ener.
,getic chairman. This committee will
take in hand the historic ride over the
route once followed by Paul Revere,
which will take place on the morning
of the second day, with moving picture
accompaniment, in order that the event
may be reproduced iii the A. A. A. clubs
throughout the country.
The Massachusetts, Automobile Club
not only has offered to take care of the
cars of members who tour to Boston,
but this pioneer organization will also
provide cars for those who are unable
to make the trip over the road
Monday will be devoted to the busi-
ness affairs of. the association with the
annual banquet in the evening, Tuesday
being given over entirely to the enter
tainment Boston and its vicinity are
repletc with historical reminders, be-
sides which its attractive suburbs and
many seaside resorts offer innumerable
attractions for motorists.

EXPENSE OF KEEPING A CAR
George R. Bentley Gives Some Timely
Advice to the Prospective
Automobile Buyer

''When you talk about the upkeep
aud general expense of motor car, -
said George r. Bentley, proprietor of
the Riverside Auto Co. and local dealer
in Paige automobiles, the prospective
automobile purchaser in buying his car
should not only be careful and consider
the gasoline and oil expense that he
will incur on his new model, but he
should also look into the cost of repair
expense. This can be easily determined
by an investigation of the present own
ers of the model the purchaser has in
mind. An owner is always very glad
to talk about his car and tell future
prospective owner the exact satisfaction
he is getting from his present model.
Ore visit the garage man, ask him what
so and so car costs to maintain year,
and how often it is in the shop for re-
pairs. Get the dealers advice on this
subject-tell him to show you figures
that he has probably compiled from
statistics furnished him by owners.
"To my mind, this expense of opera
tion is the most important subject that
an automobile owner has to consider in
buying car. 1t cannot be investigat-
ed too carefully" Adv

REFORMATORY inmates
TOBU|LD MODERN ROADWAY
Boys in Connecticut Institution to Be
Paid Fifty Cents Day From State
Lads Not to Wear Striped Uni
forms

Hartford, May S.-The boys from
the ConnecticuU reformatory are to build
a modern roadway from the reforma-
tory to Milldale and possibly on to the
macadam in Cheshire and to be paid
fifty cents a day each for their labor.
E. Kent Hubbard, a member of the
board of directors, who is working in
close cooperation with the National
Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor,
states that the fifty boys to be en-
ployed in this work will be selected by
Superintendent Garvin and the nutual
Welfare League. The league is the or
ganization of the inmates which Mr..
Hubbard and Superintendent Garvin
are fostering, as is Thomas Mott Os-
borne, the prisoners '%leagues in Sing
Sing and Auburn prisons, New York.
The Highway Department is to retain
full responsibility for the construction
work, providing all materials and tools.
1t will also pay to the superintendent
the wages for the men, which they may
send to their families or hold until
parolled.
The boys will,no wear stripes or dis
N,
and will probably be taken to it in troll
ley cars, having their dinner sent to
them. The directors do not fear at
tempts to escape, as the growth of the
league has developed spirit of self
respect and good conduct among the
men, and those who will be told off for
the work will put backbone into it and
do their Part towards making it sue
cess.
This road work is long step for
ward for Connecticut, as its State pris-
oners and most of the inmates of it's
county jails are still employed under
the contract system. The National Com
mittee On Prisons and Prison Labor has
carried on such a vigorous campaign
against this system that success in 9TH
er labor systems will be welcomed by
the citizens of the State.

auto TRUCKS LARGE help
TO DAIRYMAN over route
Michigan Farmer Uses REQ In Garry
ing $500 Pounds Over 90 Miles
Each Day-Local Firm Gets Oar
Load

Ira Wilson, dairymam, of Redford,
Mich, says it would be impossible to
do with horses what he does with mo-
tor trucks. Not only would it be i'm
possible for the horses to cover the
ground the motor trucks do, but the
slow pace of the horses would render
the entire proposition out of the ques-
tion.
Mr.. Wilson carries milk, not only
from his own, but from surrounding
dairy farms, on contract with the De-
trolt Creamery Company on basis of
so much per hundred pounds per mile.
His present equipment is two REQ
two-ton trucks-and he has an order
IN for a third. Each of these trucks
covers ninety miles every day and ear
ries, instead of its rated two-ton load,
from three to three and one. half tons
of milk.
Any practical dairyman will under
stand when he is told that the load
consists of sixty to sixty three ten gal.
Ion cans of milk. To the uninformed,
1t VIII be necessary to explain that ten
gallons of milk weighty eighty pounds
and that the cans themselves weigh
twenty-three to twenty-seven pounds
each. It's simple problem in multi
pllcation to prove that the minimum
load IS $500 pounds and the maximum
6,6l5 pounds-and that is about three
and one-quarter tons without counting
the driver.
OF course the truck does not 90
fully loaded both ways-but it does
carry that load over forty-6ve miles
of Michigan roads every day, four
miles of which are virgin sand-and
the. entire route is ninety miles.
The truck starts out in the morning
from Redford, goes to Detroit; from
there it goes to Cherry Hill where it
picks up the second load and back
into Detroit; thence home to Redford
again ready to repeat the performance
the next day.

mer or winter" says Mr.. Wilson.
land these REQ trucks have been in
service for two years"
Asked if he was making money on
the contract, Mr.. Wilson laughed and
pointed to huge pile of vitrified hol-
low tile heaped up in the barnyard.
You see | am going to build two
more of the finest silos that can be
had-and by the way, my new REQ
Six touring car just arrived from the
factory last night" 1t looks as if Mr..
Wilson had made no mistake by chang
ing from the old, slow horse equip
ment to motor trucks.
"Until we introduced trucks for de.
livering milk, it was impossible to mar.
ket half of the produce from this sec.
tion,' said Mr.. Wilson. ''There is
only one train day and to send it by
horses was impossible-it would spoil
before it got there. REQ trucks have
more than doubled the earning capacity
OF the farmers hereabouts.'
The Harrisburg Auto Company. To-
cal REQ" distributors, are delighted
with the business results this wear and
feel proud of having exercised the wis
dom of purchasing whole train load
OF REQ cars in March which were de-
livered to them in April and now are
almost all sold. The REQ factory is
working night and day to fill orders
and the people of Lansing, Mich. were
! never so busily engaged as they are at
| present.-Adv.*

PRESIDENT WILL
GREET THE c. A. R.
viii "Wig Wag" Message of
Greeting and Good Will to
Veterans in Washington.
Special TO the EVENING NEWS.


Washington, Sept. 10-On the
opening day of the forthcoming
Grand Army encampment in Wash
ington, President Wilson will wig
wag" a message of greeting and good
will to the veterans visiting the ma
tional capital. Mr.. Wilson will not
personally manipulate the flags for
he does not understand the old Myer
code, which was in use by the Union
army during the Civil War, but his
welcome will be translated into the
sign language and sent from station
to station about Washington by sur
yivors of the Signal Corps of fifty
years ago.
Arrangements for the signaling
features of the encampment were an
nounced today by Lieut.. George Carr
Round, the president of the U. S.
Veterans Signal Corps Association,
who has called upon all members of
the organization who are able to do
so to be present in Washington dur
ing encampment week. The main
station of the Signal Corps boys of
'61-'65 will be upon the heights of
Georgetown in the extreme western
section of Washington and upon the
very spot where the government had
it's signal camps Of instruction dur
ing the war. Mt. Tabor Methodist
church stands there now and it will
be used as the headquarters of the
corps. From that point welcomes
win be wig waged" by such signal
corps officers as General Fisher,
General Greedy, General Scriven and
Col. Albert J. Myers, Jr. These Off
GERS understanding the code will
doubtless take the flags in their own
hands and do their own signaling,
flashing messages of peace and good
will to the American people. At
various points about Washington
such as Fort Stevens, Fort De Russy,
the Soldiers Home, Fort Richardson
and Fairfax Seminary, which were
used as signaling points in war times
stations will be e. Established during
the encapment and messages will be
transmitted in the old way as in the
days before the invention of the field
telephone and the wireless. In
stead of being war orders they will
be what President Round of the
Signal Corps Association calls "jubi-
lee messages" The scheme was
tried with much success during the
encampment at Chattanooga and
Gettysburg, and will be worked out
upon a much more elaborate basis
for encampment week in Washing
ton. Another feature will be the
transmission of orders by the old
wig wag" method during the time
the veterans are passing in parade
in commemoration of the fiftieth an
niversary of the Grand Review. Sig
nal men will be stationed in the
dome of the capitol and on top OF
the treasury at the west end of Penn
sylvania avenue from time to time
as the old veterans are passing IN
! review messages will be sent.
President Round has been obliged
! to scour the country from a set OF
| old time copper torches which will
be used in wig waging" welcomes
| to the Grand Army on the night oi
the big reception. The station used
on that occasion will be the dome
of the capitol. AS none of these ole
torches has been preserved by the
signal office of army, it is probable
that the set provided will finally bt
presented to the National Museum
| as relics.
