MERCHANTS IDORSE
FIXED Retail Price
Chamber of Commerce Votes in Favor
of Laws Permitting Standard
Resale Rate.

Business men Of ths country, repre-
sented in the Chamber Of Commerce of
the United States, have voted In favor
Of legislation establishing the right Of a
manufacturer to control the resale re-
tail price Of his product, along the lines
Of the Stephens bill at present before
Congress. The referendum on this ques-
tion was divided into two parts, compris-
ing two recommendations, as follows:
% That there should be Federal leg
islation permitting the maintenance of
resale prices, under proper restrictions,
on identified merchandise for voluntary
purchase, made and sold under competi-
tive conditions.
% Federal legislation should take the
form Of an amendment to the Trade
Commission Act defining the conditions
under which price-cutting is an unfair
method Of competition and authorizing
the Federal Trade Commission to prevent
such price cutting In interstate and for
eign commerce.
The result OF the vote was se3 In favor
of the first recommendation, and 237
against 1t. The second proposition was
lost
The result Of the voting Is hailed as a
decided victory for the American Fair
Trade League, which has carried on a
vigorous campaign in favor OF such leg
islaton, and many speakers have been
sent by the league throughout the coun-
try to impress the business men of the
United States with the importance of
regulating the resale price Of standard
articles, and the insidious influences OF
unrestricted price cutting In comment
ing on the result OF the vote of the
Chamber Of Commerce. the Fair Trade
League declares that 1t presages the pass
ing Of the Stephens-Ashurst bill by Con-
grese.

D. c, AUTO CLUB
GROWS RAPIDLY
Local Branch Of A..A..A. Adds
Twenty-oqe Members
During Week.

There is nothing in washington's
automobile history more expressive
OF the modern motor trend than the
rapid growth of the A. A. A. District
Of Columbia Club.
That there was urgent need of a
substantial bedy to provide a compre-
hensive touring service, and to provide
organized expression for motorists is
clearly shown in the success attending
the National Capitals robust and
growing motoring organization. At
though still in its metaphorital swad-
Idling clothes, the new club is hundreds
ahead of its predecessors.
Proof of the stability of the club is
seen in the wide scope of its member
ship and its activities. Comparative
ly few of the members are actively
Unidentified with the trade. It is es-
sentially an owners organization and
directing Its energies solely to increase
his pleasures and to minimize his leg
islative and road trials. .'. -'...
Motorists from every walk of life
are enrolled in it's work. Men high
in the councils of the Federal Govern
ment have Joined. The distinctive
emblem denoting membership in the
A A. A. and the local club shines
from the radiators OF thousands of
cars. Generals and majors of our
army! have motoring fraternity with
the admirals and captains OF our navy.
The judiciary. too, is found to be prom
iently identified with II. while those
from social and professional ranks

Spark plugs get sooted now and then

A new tube will cost more than the two

ice are worth. Besides there is always

With the question of preparedness be-
ing discussed on all sides. let the auto
mobile owner take, heed. The touring
season Is at hand and the Saturday halt
holidays are beginning. Every owner who
can endeavors to take his family for
either q weekend outing or at least a
Sunday trip Many spend their vaca-
tions in this manner, weekend trips. By
SO doing they can still keep in touch with
their business interests and also enjoy
the pleasures of motoring.
How many owners, though, have had
these weekend or day outings marred by
an accident on the road due to careless
ness in failing to give their machine
proper attention before starting. An
automobile Is a piece of machinery. Like
all other machinery. the motor car de-
mands proper fabrication. Any kind of
fabrication is not sufficient

But buying oil and only putting II in
the car now and then Is not sufficient.
Every machine has an oil guage of some

necessary to keep the oil reservoir filled

URGED TO HELP-WITH 2-COL BOX
Tomorrow morning the first batch of
letters asking merchants and motorists
of Washington to assist in raising a fund
for the construction of a road through
the Chopawamsic Swamp in Prince Will
lam County, Va, will be sent out by the
A. A. A District of, Columbia Club, which
has taken active charge Of the campaign
to build the highway and which started
the fund with a contribution Of 800
The sum needed in Washington to build
the roadway is $3.50, and Washingtonians
are asked to subscribe this amount upon
basis of actual return In trade to COM
mercial Washington, and a return in
pleasure to motoring Washington. The

Would Increase Tourists, ,
The building OF highway through the
Chopawamsic Swamp, which Is notori-
ous throughout the United States as the
worst piece OF roadway in the country,
means, in its national scope, the opening
of q fine highway from Quebec to Miami.
This would. according to figures fur
nished by the touring bureau of the
American Automobile Association bring
1000 additional visitors TO the National
Capital during the 1916 touring season,
and more each succeeding year as motor
travel increases. This phase of the sit
uation is expected to appeal to Washing
ton merchants particularly.
Support In raising the fund Is expected
from local motorists. because the regen-

Relative to what the construction OF
this road means to washingtonians, J.

the District club, prominent business
man. and an ardent motorist said:
The efforts OF the District club To

Of q good road through the ChopawamsiC
