ROAD IS URGED
FROM HERE TO ANNAPOLIS
Joint Resolution in Maryland Leg
islature Proposes Grand Military
and Naval Highway.
Directs Anne Arundel and Prince
Georges Delegations to Submit Bill
With Cost Not to Exceed $3.50, 900.

A joint resolution was introduced in
the Maryland legislature at Annapo-
lis. Md, last week, providing for the
construction of a federal road. con-
Meeting the United States Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis with the National
Capital. The resolution called atten-
ton to the fact that although Mary
land representatives in Congress had
been asked to further the project. no
action had been taken.
The preamble recites that in these
days. when the whole nation is more or
less wrought up over the state of .'un-
Tense in case of war, It is of the ut
most Importance that a grand highway
or military and naval road should be
established between the Naval Academy
and the federal government in this city
as soon as possible under the good
roads system in Maryland.
The state roads commission did adopt
as a part of its system an old estab-
lished road laid out in 1896 between
the two cities. known as the odd
Stage Road from Annapolis across
Anne Arundel and Prince Georges
counties to the District of Columbia.
but no work has ever been done to
further its construction and the build
ing of this state road would be of in
calculable benefit, it is said to the
government Of the United States and of
Maryland.
Would Complete Triangle of Cities.
There is already a state road from
Annapolis to Baltimore and one from
Baltimore to the National Capital, and
this "Old Stage Road" line, if built,
would complete the triangle of the
three cities.
The joint resolution directs the Anne
Arundel and Prince Georges delega-
tons to submit a bill for the building
of the road. the charge for it's con-
struction not to exceed s16O,OO0, the
estimated length of the road being
about twenty miles. The delegations
are urged to act promptly so that this
grand highway or boulevard may be
constructed quickly for military and
naval purposes for the defense of An
napoIis, Baltimore and Washington, in
case of naval attack from the Ches-
apeake bay. which lis practically with
out Qualifications and in time of war a
public enemy would first seek the de-
struction of these points, and over a
hard-surfaced road. with the improved
method of travel, assistance in time of
strife could be easily and quickly got
ten for the protection of either bay
point"

AUTO ROAD
TO Be BUILT IN KANSAS
Thirty Two-Mile Stretch May Be
Extended if Plan Is
Successful.

A company recently organized in Jop-
lin, Mo, will build a private road on
which motor cars will operate between
Pittsburgh and Fort Scott, Kan. thirty
two miles, and should the plan prove
successful. the road will be extended
to Kansas City.
On a private right of way concrete
tracks twelve inches wide will be built
The tracks will be concave in order to
hold the wheel of the motor car, and
regular passing places for the cars will
be established. The company will oper-
ate it as a bus and freight line, and
will allow the use of the tracks for a
toll charge by any person. This idea
has arisen as a result of the problem
of bad roads all over that part of the
country.
Another scheme, which embraces
many different plans to improve condi-
| tions. is the proposed building of a
brick highway from some point in
southwestern Kansas to Kansas City
The construction of such a highway
will give employment to hundreds of
people who are now idle, and cause the
reopening of brick plants that have
been shut down for months and the
to connect with the brick road Several
counties in the southern part of the
state are cooperating in this project
and have appealed to the different
farmers organizations for indorse-
mentS.

Pc r SO N AL

Effective March l, the price of the Chalmers Slx-4O
will be ST $50 f. b. Detroit. This is increase of 500
over the present price 1t is made necessary by the
sharp rise in cost of raw materials.
Aluminium which sold for 10 cents pound only
few months ago brings So cents
Cooper has risen from IA cents to "a cents
Vanadiun Steel year ago brought SlS5 pound
Now it sells for $3.50.
High-speed Steel formerly at 81. pound now is
worth $685.
Leather formerly 20 cents foot now brings s.
cents And so
All told it costs S11S.22 more in material to
build the Sx-4O than it did some months ago. AS this
amount is considerably in of net profit per
car only two courses were open to us.
One to raise the price.
The other was to lower the quality.
To follow the latter meant a 'one- year car
This kind of an automobile Chalmers has built
and never will build.
Therefore, a rise in price the only procedure
possible.
We regret that an increase in price is necessary
but we feel that other manufacturers of automobiles
will be forced either to increase the price lower
grade of materials
For it is not possible to buy superior products in the
open market at any less price than Chalmers pays.
We think it only fair to those who have planned to
purchase the SixO and have been quoted the $50
price, to take this opportunity of saying that will
accept orders that price up midnight February ~
Thereafter the price of ST 45O b. Detroit will pre-
vail.

Gilt or Miss" Building to Stop.

A bill has been introduced in Kansas
to stop the hit or miss" road building
used in many counties at present. The
bill provides that if the tax is made
the road plan for the entire county
must be made up and the work started
on one road and the tax levy expended
on that road until 1t is completed. For
years it has been the custom to build
a mile or two of road one year in one
part of a county and the next year to
build in another part By the time the
roads are connected the first highways
are worn out. The new bill requires
that continuous work be done on the
roads both in building and in main
tenance.

Congress Passes the Adamson
Eight Hour Bill.
TROUBLE MAY COME LATER
Heads Of the Brotherhoods Involved
Say Walkout Will Result if Law
Is Declared Void.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The threat of
q general railroad strike which was
hanging a pail over the country for a
month "a lifted when the senate
passed without amendment the Adam
son eight-hour bill, passed by the
house, heads Of the four great railroad
employees brotherhood telegraphed six
hundred odd code messages to their
general chairmen in all parts of the
country cancelling the strike order is
sued a week ago.
The legislative e%Xpedient to avert
the strike was passed in the senate
by a vote of 43 to %, almost a strict
party vote, amid stirring scenes. after
many senators, Democrats and Repub-
licans, had fought desperately to
amend the measure by provisions de-
signed to prevent industrial disasters
in the future.
Some senators, thoroughly aroused,
declared congress was being coerced
into enactment of legislation that it
did not desire and that it knew would
to plague it in the future.
The bill that stopped the strike pro-
vides that after Jan. 1, 1917, eight
hours shall be regarded as a basis of
reckoning for a days pay of men n
gagged in the operation of railroad
trains in interstate commerce-except
roads less than 100 miles long and
electric lines-that they shall receive
pro rata pay for work in excess Of
eight hours and that their rate of CON-
pensation shall not be changed pend
ing an investigation for six to nine
months of the effect of the eight-hour
day upon the railroads by a commits
sion to be appointed by the president.

PROMISE STRIKE If
LAW IS ANNULLED

Washington, Sept. 4.-The Adamson
eight-hour-day law bill exacted from
congress last week by the railroad
brotherhocds as the price of calling
off the nationwide strike was signed
by President Wilson in his private
car at the union station, where he
stopped on his way from Shadow
Lawn, N. j., to Hodgenville, Ky.
How long peace shall reign as a re-
suit of the bill apparently is depend
ent upon developments in the propos-
ed move to test the constitutionality
of the act. Should the railroads take
no action, but await the beginning of
an investigation of the workings of
the eight-hour-day by the special CON-
mission for which the measure pro-
vides, the brotherhoods will remain
inactive.
Leaders of the employees declare,
however, that should the law be held
unconstitutional and the railroads at
tempt to restore the ten-hour day on
their lines, a strike will follow
promptly.
Brotherhood heads, in a circular let
ter to their members, made no COM
ment on the measure as passed. They
merely pointed out that it would not
become effective until Jan. 1 and that
many things might occur between now
and then which would change materi-
ally any suggestions or comment they
might make.
