A Song of the Open Road.

Come let US away while the skies are
red,
And the fields are drowned in dew;
While the first bird sings in the tangled
hedge
In Joy of a world made new.
Fling care to the winds as on we fly
In search of a golden day;
The winds in the west and troubles a
Jest,
So let us away, away
Our path winds on like a silver thread
Through a mass OF crimson bloom;
The wild rose mods as we quickly pass,
And filings US her faint perfume.
How our pulses thrill as we sweep along
By meadows all cool and wide;
o. where Is there bliss in a world like this
OF May time, and you by my side?
For what to us are the crowding wallis
Our roof is the wide, blue sky;
And what the glare Of the city street
With the soft winds sweeping by?
Then here's to the life Of the open road,
And here's to the joys that are true;
And l dream, as We glide, that I'm
OF for a ride
To the edge of the world with you!

tion:
Contemplation of this picture reminds

1s GOSSIP OF MOTORS MOTORISTS AND MOTORING y
Time-Saying More Important
In War Even Than in Peace

The motor vehicle and the bold and
able men who have developed it from a
toy into what II Is today welcome the
test of war. These men believe that the
war Is to bring out the utility Of the
motor vehicle. It's power for elastic and
manifold service to the nation. as moth
ing else can, and that this will be shown
in the extended use of both passenger
and commercial vehicles. War discoy-
ers efficiency and exposes inefieiency.
Slow, costly ways of doing things are
singled out forSa scrutiny not possible.
in time of peace. Time is so important.
The motor vehicle Is pre-eminently
time-saver. The war will bring out this
fact as never before, and, It Is main
tained by the manufacturers, will inn
press itself in new demands for the
motor car.

Number of Explosions.

Cadillac engineers have found that in
travelling a distance of fifteen miles,
there are approximately 15l.2O0 explos-
ions. Hence on the basis OF consuming
one gallon Of fuel in that distance, the
gallon is divided up into about 151, 200
parts, or each about the seven-millionth
part Of a gallon.
The very diminutive size OF the sphere
Of gasoline required for a single ex-
plosion enables one to appreciate the
work of the carburetor, and the import
ance Of facility for perfect adjustment
II the gasoline which goes into each cyl
inder should be the one-millionth part
Of . gallon less than the tiny drop re-
Quired by a certain set Of conditions. the
mixture would be about Is per cent too
lean; II 1t were larger by the same
amount, the mixture would be to an
equal per cent too rich, yet in the Cadil-
lac carburetor the proper proportion is
automatically maintained.

1917 Banner Roads Year.

According to a writer in the current
issue of American Motorist, greater
amount OF constructive highway legisla-
ton has been enacted by the legislatures
Of the several States in 1917. as a result
OF the passage Of the Federal Aid Road
Act. than has been enacted in any single
year since the republic was established.
Following this expression is summary
OF what the States have done in the
way of law-making to meet, and to
secure assistance in highway building
under the terms OF the Federal act.
Widespread preparations for active and
comprehensive road improvement are
clearly indicated.

Tax Autos by the Pound.

West Virginia has always been hrst
and foremost in her efforts to make the
use Of her none too good highways as
expensive and unpleasant for mortorists
as her legislators could arrange II. OBJ
serves an editorial writer In the current
Issue Of American Motorist. TT was.
therefore. not surprising that, commence
ing on May q. the state Of West Viz
ginia Intends to tax motor cars by the
pound The license fee Is henceforth to
be so for each car Weighing 1000 pounds
or less. with IS cents additional for each
100 pounds over that Now. IL the worthy
West virginia legislators will apply the
same principle to the passengers In the
cars. even West Virginians will feel that
maybe they have got the automooiiist
just where they want him."

Licensing Auto Repairers.

Massachusetts has been asked by one
OF its legislators to license all automobile
repsirers," says American Motorist. ''As
usual. the introducer Of the measure
denies It is a shake-down. He says his
sole object is to protect the poor auto
mobtlist from being mulcted by the in
experienced workman. Licensing may
accomplish this in Massachusetts,, but
experience elsewhere teaches that the
license is only a legislative rake-off. the
cost Of which, eventually, multiplied
several thousand-fold. Is passed only to
the poor old good-thing-the owner-to
pay. In short, a license is legalized
authe4ity to rob, issued by the State at
the expense OF the car. owner"

WilIys-Knight
Chassis Shown

The superb WHY'S knight eight
cylinder chassis that has been on
display at the New York. Chicago,
Boston and other big motor shows
Is now being shown at the Har-
per-Overland salesrooms at 1l-o-30
Connecticut avenue. II will remain
here until the end of this week.
II is an unusual opportunity for
Washington people to see. the
Knight sleeve valve motor.
The vital parts OF the motor are.
cut open, showing clearly all its
workings, and F. W. Lawton, a
factory expert on motors, Is In
charge and explains its operation.
The same sort OF a knight motor,
is now being used on the famous
fighting tanks OF the British army.
The chassis is a $1,000 job, being
highly finished and polished, and 1t
was probably the most striking ex-
hibit at the big shows OF the year.

Young Peoples Evenings.

Harm often comes from the too i'm
plicit faith which parents place in chill
dren's accounts of where their eve
nings are spent. To obviate the use
by young people of the social centers
in the schools as an excuse for their
absence from home when they have
been elsewhere, the schools of Mi!wau-
kee issue cards to children of parents
who demand them. When the young
man or woman goes to the social CEN
ter the time of his or her entrance is
recorded on the card as are also the
time of leaving and kindred data. In
this fashion parents are enabled to
verify their childrens assertions that
they have spent an evening at school
center.

No lncumbrance.

A considerable commingling of social
classes, writes correspondent of
the Manchester Guardian, occurs in
our village, owing to the townfolks'
practice of renting summer cottages
among us, and living therein in neigh
borly fashion with the working people
for whom the places We're built. In
one such case the resident from town
was an unmarried lady; the genuine
cottager next door had n husband who,
to put it mildly, was no blessing to her.
Making friendly call one day, the
wife was greatly impressed by the
pleasant mir of comfort and well-being
achieved in cottage otherwise the
duplicate of her own. She looked
round with mildly envious air and,
with little sigh, earnestly remarked /:
"Oh, Miss Y, you ought to be up
py-no husband nor nothin'."

PONDEROUS IN HIS SPEECH

DIR. Martin Joseph Routh, at one

A few " IS before his death his
butler became insane, and had to be
begged TO see the president once more,
ito ask his blessing" The president
received him in the garden, where the
man, STOPPING as If to kiss his hand,
bit a piece out of 1t.
GLOW did you feel, Mr.. PRESIDENT"
asked someone, when that man bit
your hand?"

must have been very small indeed.
Then was at rest; but, sir, I had the
bite canterized."
Doctor Routh believed in the cere-
monials and conventions of life, and
he never appeared on any occasion
without his canonicals, some ill-dis-
posed undergraduates determined to
break through this habit, and going
under his window Mt midnight, they
shouted Fire !"

EXPLAINS WARMTH OF WOOL
Superior to Linen Because It Is an
Animal Product and Also Has
Special Properties.

The main difference between wool
and linen is that wool is animal and
linen is vegetable, and that the fiber
of wool Is irregular, while that of
linen is straight and regular. When
the irregular fiber of the wool is woven
1t contains certain little cells which
hold neutral layer of air. The linen
has no such cells. This layer of air
which the cells make is like an in
visible coat that keeps the normal heat
of the body from leaving it and which
ut the same time keeps the atmos-
phere which Is colder than the body
temperature from entering it,
This layer Of air is, as some writer
has put 1t, little gaseous armOr.
If wooden yarn Is rendered straight
and regular by some special treatment
In the mill, and is woven like linen, 1T
Is only very little warmer than linen.
That little is due to it's being animal.
which has always more warmth to 1t
than vegetable product.

Doq Protects Poultry.

A poultry man says thnt a dog Is a
great help in protecting poultry from
thieves. He owns bull terrier, and
the dog is in the habit of going out on
the main road and waiting for suspi-

In sight he never makes sound, but
just drops behind and follows with his
legs. The dog never really did any
thing, but the moral effect of his ac-
tions was considerable. Il don't pre-
