new YORK TO

Complete Long Trip Flor
ida Roads Improving.

Washington, Feb. 22-Road travel
over the Atlantic Coast Highway
which is the recently adopted name
for the Quebec-Miamt route, tncreas-
ed SO rapidly in the late fall and
early winter that the touring informa-
ton board Of the American Automo-
bile Association-to satisfy the multi
plying demands for the latest infor-
nation about the main artery between
the North and the South-sent two of
it's touring experts from New York
to Florida in a trip which proved
exceedingly illuminating. e. j. Fer
guson of the Washington headquar-
tiers and J. A. Hemstreet OF the New
York bureau, who have been over the
route several times, found that a Won
derfuI development had taken place
during the past year.
By careful selection of routing from
point to point, in some places making
slight detours to incorporate COM
pleted highways rather than take a
more direct line over short cuts of
unimproved roads, an itinerary of L.
900 miles from New York to Jackson
vile was laid out in which less than
$50 miles of uncomp1eted highway
are included This $50 miles is made
up of stretches varying from one mile
to 27 miles in length, all of which is
graded and some of which is being
surfaced with wearing hdLeH1tIlS'
In the entire route from the Hud-
son to the St. Johns there is only
about rs miles unprovided for as to
completion of surfacing, the grading
having been done and fully one-half
of the mileage is at least fair. There
are only two very short places which.
would be bad in continuous wet
weather. The result of the surveying
trip will be put into detailed form
to be issued as a. special routebook
connecting the North and South.

DEATH BY AUTO
MUST BE CURBED
BY DRIVING CARE
Public Careless in Crossing
Streets Held Partially
Responsible.

Nr-rhe question often arises in the
citizeh's mind as the papers detail au-
tomobile accidents after the week
enders have had a chance to add their
quota to the toll of victims of auto
accidents, as to what can be done
to prevent the many apparently I'M
necessary fatalities or injuries AS
the use OF automobiles becomes more
general and more and more of the
cars are used in all kinds of business
it. stands to reason more accidents
are bound to happen unless some
measures are taken. Tt would ap-
pear the motorist must take up the
burden and. despite the apparent
blindness of the pedestrian to the
dangers of indiscriminate street
crossing, endeavor to cut down the
number of accidents for the good of
the fraternity as whole.
Although practically every record
shows the pedestrian responsible in
nine out of ten automobile accidents,
we must recognize the fact that the
general public is inclined to blame
the toll of deaths and injuries on
the driver of the car. Bearing this
in mind, it rests almost entirely with
motor car owners whether future ac-
cidents are to increase with each sea-
sons new crop of drivers. In the
first place, there is undoubtedly a
part of. the blame resting with GER
tain types of drivers.
The Intoxicated s.joy rider and
others of his fiIk, who frequent city
streets during the late hours of the
night, are a menace to society. To
this class speed laws mean nothing
Heavy fines and Imprisonment are
about the only remedies that can be
melted out to the joy-riding frater-
nifty. Unfortunately, however, only a
small part Of the big total of acct
dents can be laid at. the door of the
Joy-rider. Every day the papers con-
tain reports of collisions on the open

CANADA GAINS IN OARS.

According to a late consular report,
the number of automobiles in use in
Canada up to the end of 1915 was ap-
proximateIy 83,128, as against $1,000
in the previous year. The sales are
growing rapidly, and there is no rea-
son why in short time there should
not be twice as many cars IN use as
at present. Automobile dealers IN
Canada. state that the outlook for
business in 1916 is unusually bright.
1t is expected there will be heavy
sale in country districts as there is a
growing interest in automobfling
among the farmers, sales to whom
during 1915 greatly exceeded those of
any previous year.

JAVA USING AMERICAN CARS.

During last year PA American cars
were imported into Java alone, and
SO to other parts Of the colony; the
government valuation was given at
$295,2OO. The total imports of au-
tomobiles into Java, for last year were
