ROUTEPOPULAR
E. [. Ferguson Says Wonder
full Development Has Taken
Place There.
NEARLY SURFACED NOW
Main Highway Between North and
South Approved by Representa-
lives of A. A. A.

Road travel over the Atlantic Coast
Highway. which is the recently adopted
name for the Quebec Miami route, in
creased so rapidly In the late fall and
early winter that the Touring inforna-
tfon Board Of the American Automobile
Association-to satisfy the rnultiplyinz
demands for the latest Information
about the main artery between the
North and the South-sent two of its
touring experts from New York City to
Florida in a trip which proved exceed
ingly illuminating. E L. Ferguson, of
the Washington headquarters, and ]. A.
Hemstreet, Of the New York bureau, who
have been over the route several times
found that a wonderful. .deyelopment had
taken place during ths past year.
By careful selection of routing from
point to point. in some places making
slight detours to incorporate completed
highways rather than take a more direct
line over short cuts Of unimproved roads
an itinerary OF loo miles from New
York City to Jacksonville was laid out in
which less than $50 miles Of uncompleteo
highways are Included. This $50 miles
Is made up Of stretches varying from
one mile to twenty-ssven miles in
length all OF which Is graded and some
OF which is being surfaced with wear
ING materials.
Coasts Equally Energetic
In the entire route from the Hudson
TO the st. Johns, there is only about
twenty-five miles Unprovided for as to
completion Of surfacing, the grading hav-
ing 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
putinto detailed form to be issued as
a special route book connecting the
North and the South.
Florida now has a State highway COM
mission, and the State is busily at work
In the accomplishment of a connected
system of roads which will increase its
winter visitors many fold. Both the
East and the West coasts are equally
energetic, and within a comparatively
short period the Land Of Flowers"
promises to be gridironed with improved
roads, which work will proceed rapidly
as the need of grading Is at a minimurI
because OF the topography Of the State.

PAIGE METHODS ARR.
JUSTIFIED AT SHOW
Krohn Says Six-Cylinder and Prics
Class Cars Are Most Popu-
lar Makes.

What do the automobile shows-which
started, practically. with the recent
great exhibition In New York. and win
continue In various cities until March
reveal that is significant, as bearing
upon the present trend Of the industry
To Henry Krohn. sales manager of the
Paige-Detroit Motor Company, seyers1
facts loom up clearly.
"of course" says Mr.. Krohn. there
was the obvious condition of great prog
gress and prosperity, as shown in New
hibits and the extraordinary interst OF
the public. Without doubt, the last New
York show was the greatest, from every
point of view, In the sixteen years his
tory of this event. The Paige found II
SO, and l have no doubt many other
manufacturers were impressed In the
same way, both from the attitude Of the
general public and the dealers.
From our own view. we were espe-
ciaIly impressed with the fact that we
were justified In the assumption of the
Importance OF the price class of one
thousand to fifteen hundred dollars, the
general acceptance of the worthiness OF
the six-cylinder car-now the dominant
type-snd of certain features of design
and construction which we adopted and
which now prevail to an Overwhelming
degree.
''Unquestionably, the six-cylinder car
and the price class named are the pop-
ulsr choice and we are, therefore, con-
WINGED that our vision was correct and
our policy sound. The pure European
stream line OF style introduced into this
country by the Paige Is now more in
evidence than ever before and has be-
come practically standard. Moreover,
there are more and more cars using

OAKLAND COSTS LITTLE.
Doctor Pays Only s24.ss to Run II
1000 Miles.

Physicians are believers In the value
of the automobile in their business ano
use their cars ordinarily the year round
without having the time to give them
the care and attention that the ordinary
driver bestows upon his motor car.
After completing 1900 miles in an Oak
land car in the course of his business
DR.. r. N. Olin, of Cairo, Mich, checked
up the total cost for the operation OF
his car and found that it had cost him
s24S5. DIR. Olin claims that the car has
been driven but little on pavement.
The speedometer lamp and fixture were
stolen from his car, or otherwise 1t is
assumed that the Oakland Company
would never have heard from the doctor
or his car.
