bad and who plans to return TO his
home in Westerville, Ohio, as soon as
he is relieved.
The leaders of the league also have
Vnder consideration Wayne B. Wheeler
and Dr. Howard II. Russell. both Of
Westerville. Ohio, and there Is consid-
cradle sentiment in favor Of shifting
lhe Rev. DR.. j. Fred Heisse from the
presidency OF the league TO the SUI
perintendency. although 1t is not be-
ieyed by those in a position 70 know
hat there is any real chance that DR..
Heisse would be willing to give up the

New York to Palm Beach highway,
has Just been completed and com
prehensive tour book with maps Is
now being sent out free to motorists
who want them. by the Baltimore and
Philadelphia Offices OF the B. r.

TO the north as far rs Philadelphia
and torthe south as far as Baltimore.
This comprises only two sections OF
the entire highway, which terminates
at Miami, Florida, and which is also
shown in its entirety. The distance
between all points is clearly and ac-
curately shown in road log form and
as an aid 10 the use OF the book. the

guide post signs at every confusing
point and also warning signs where
danger exists.

completes volumes ever issued. and
adds another link to the efforts OF
