PREFERS LODGING GERMAN SUBS TO
 PILOTINGeAUTO
(continued From Page 1.)

Drislo has crossed and recrossed the sub danger zone with success and during the years that he has been master of ship has never had an ac- cident His effort as a land pilot, however, was a dismal failure and his arrest hurt his pride considerably.
 It appears that he owned, up to a few days ago, four masted schooner, which he sailed all over the world. He recently arrived in Halifax with a cargo of molasses from the Barba- does and after discharging it sailed to New York, making port at Staple ton, Long Island.
 s. An offer was made him to sell his ship to the F,rench-Canadian Steam ship line for the sum of $10o, 900 and he accepted. Taking his dog and can aries together with personal effects and nautical instruments Drisko bought an automobile in New York and left for his home in Fairfield, Maine. with a chauffeur who had been hired to drive him as far as New IIa- ven, the captain intending by relays of auto operators to get to Maine.
 Starting out everything was going along finely The chauffeur was en- toying the blended song of the cana ries and the interesting yarns of the captain. The parade in New York yesterday held them up for about five hours, however, and the driver lost his temper
 When the captain reached Stamford the driver quit and refused to go any further. This peeved the captain. who admits he wished he was standing with the ships decks awash at sea and the chauffeur in front of him. Ho T,-iC ko thought he'd take a chance with an auto and he started for Bridgeport without knowing the difference be- tween the radiator and magneto.a
 He got as far as the viaduct at the depot when a trolley loomed up in front of him. T tried to pass her on the starboard side, but couldn't so thought I'd stop her" The captain however instead of pulling up put his foot on the accelerator and things happened.
 The auto hit the trolley car '.bow on" as Drisko explains it and Drisko leaped overheard into Fairfield ave- nue. Traffic Officer McDermott ask ed Drisko for his license but the sea captain opined he didn't know what the cop was talking about.
 T own this yer boat and guess l have right to drive ft,'' asserted Drisko. Protesting that he'd ''scuttle the machine and Bridgeport if he was arrested, Drisko nevertheless was taken to police headquarters He showed a bill of sale for the car The policamen then removed the canaries which were hung temporarily in police headquarters, and Drisko gave Captain Wheeler few lessons on how to dis
 over the latitude and longitude of Bridgeport with a sextant while he waited to have matters straightened out and then told stories
 After two hours he was released, given another chauffeur and he set sail for Fairfield, Maine. But his first land accident disturbed him greatly, and he swears that after two weeks in Maine he's going back where he never has to dodge trolleys, teams and like vehicles, having only to contend with submarine
 Terra firma and me, is strangers after leave Maine" swears Drisko.

Lee Tire and Rubber Go.
 Move General Offices

At a meeting of the board of directors of the Lee Tire and Rubber company held last week, 1t was decided to move the general offices of the company from the present quarters at the factory ir Conshohocken, Pa, to New York city All branches of the companys business with the exception of the production de partment are included in this transfer.
 Not later than October 1 the sales, ex- ecutive and accounting forces will be in stalled in New York headquarters and the plans bringing about this change also contemplate the opening in New York of a big branch which will be used as a service station for handling dealers in and around New York and throughout New England.
 In deciding to make New York the general headquarters for the Lee forces several important facts were given con sideration, chief among them being de sire for more central location than that occupied at present and the need fol additional floor space ar the factory foi the installation of more tire building ma chinery.
 A very material increase in the out put of Lee tires is contemplated for next season and to accomplish this great deal of new equipment is required. The officials of the Lee company expect tc be in position within a few days to an nounce the location of the New York offices

Germany would be likely to acquire po- Htical, as she was already assuming eco homie, control of the islands In either case the Monroe doctrine would be brought to a test in a most embarrassing way. so it seems that President Wilson kept us from drifting into a very dan gerous situation by negotiating the pur- chase The price we paid, $25, ,000,000 for three islands, is not much more per square mile than Secretary Seward of fered in 1866, and the opening of the Panama canal has greatly increased their strategic and commercial importance.
 The treaty was held up in 1916 as 1t had been before by the Danish Landsting or Upper House, dominated by the court and pro-German party, but this time the opposition was overcome and the island CTS gained their long desire It is now our duty to see that they are not sorry for it. The one misgiving that the islanders have is lest they come under a regime of race prejudice and white tyranny. They have been told, by those opposing the sale, of the lynchings in the south and of the discrimination against color in the north. At the Fred eriksted meeting mentioned above they were warned that they were selling themselves into slavery again. But those who have come to the United States like it and our administration of Porto Rico and Santo Domingo has made good im- pression throughout the West Indies.
 If we establish one of our agricultural experiment stations on St. Croix with an industrial school of the Tuskegee kind and if we provide an honest and en- terprising administration the islands will more than regain their former prosperity and will be glad that they have ex

LESS THAN S1ADAY
 PERSONAL EXPENSE
 ON LONG TOUR
Ideal Vacation Open to Motorists in Stakeholder Car, Says R. D. Max
 well, Local Dealer

Perhaps it was John Burroughs or Rud- yard Kipling, perhaps it was Ebert Hub hard, who spoke of getting where one could hear the heart of nature beat as the ideal place to spend a vacation.
 Whoever said 1t was mighty wise man, according to the most eminent neur- ologists
 For getting back to nature is the sur est cure for 8 jaded appetite and ragged nerves.
 Formerly the getting back" meant dis comfort-one listened to the babbling brook and the malicious mosquito at the same time-and forsook comfortable bed for lumpy piece of ground where every blade of grass was like a porcupine quill.
 But now the up-to-date nature Hunter goes in his car.
 MT. Maxwell, Studebaker dealer, tells how to do it.
 "A Studebaker car," he tells us, "can be made up just like any Pullman.
 "The rear seat is AS inches wide, just little narrower than the regular double bed. Lift u the removable front seats turn them around so that their backs are to tEe front, pull the back cushion for ward and drop it down in the tonneau and you nave an 1deaI ped IOundaLlon. Then a blanket or two and pillows are all you need to make two people thor oughly comfortable.
 The Studebaker top, with it's jiffy type storm curtains, is much more satisfactory than the average tent, and, in the car there's no danger of a miniature flood wetting everything and your having to dress with your feet in a puddle of water. You are also away from bugs, ants, etc, that are apt to crawl over you if you sleep on the ground.
 "A compace, portable cooking outfit costs only a few dollars and there's plenty of room for it and the other baggage in the Studebaker tonneau.
 with such an outfit living expenses should be a matter of about $1 a day and if you're fisherman and there Is a farmhouse near your camping place your supplies will cost even less
 If you want to take a large party one of the new camp trailers will solve your problem-two grown-ups and a child can sleep in the Studebaker and the rest in the trailer.

The Republic factory repre- sentative from Australia and New Zea- land, w. Crowle, came from Adelaide for the meeting. MT. Crowle reported that 90 per cent of all trucks scld in Australia and New Zealand in the last three years are Republics
 The affair was under the generalship of Sales Manager Holmes, in which he had the heartiest cooperation of Presi- dent Frank w. Ruggles, assistant gem eraI manager, Lafayette Markle, and every member of the administrative of fees.
 All the models were reviewed. These include the new Republic dump bodies and equipment and the new special Model g, %-ton chassis with the usual Republic 25 per cent overload capacity. In all, six chassis were shown, ranging from a-ton to Sih-ton capacity, with the Republic bodies of every type for every work, from express and solid panel for delivery to hoist and dump for the heaviest construction for farm work as well as city work.

PAIGE CARS SCORE
 ANOTHER RECORD
Paige Sales and Production Break All Records Since
 January 1

Lawrence Pennington of the Detroit
 Motor Car company says that in cars actually sold shipped from the factory and delivered, the Paige-Detroit com pany developed not only the largest July business, but also the largest sin gle months business in the history of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company. This is the third time that Paige sales and production records have been broken since the first of the year. "The embarrassing feature of this lsituation," said Lawrence Pennington, who recently visited the factory, lis the fact that, though our capacity is l taxed to the limit we were able to | fill in July only about per cent of
 our actual July orders. Paige dealers from every state in the union have been haunting the factory in the hope l of increasing their car allotments. And we are just as much oversold in New York as we are in California.
 ''No doubt many conditions enter into lit-big crops, the release of the vast 1 sums of money which the government 1 is using to buy supplies munitions,
 equipmentkof all kinds. Paige cars have always given good service, but our
 dealers report that the models we have been selling since the first of the year
 have been giving such extraordinary satisfaction that The Most Beautiful
 Car in America is actually selling it.

 With the remarkable enthusiasm of
 our entire sales organization, with the I big deliveries of materials already in
 the factory, with general conditions 1 improving every day we are planning I for a record breaking fall business"
