Tourists who have enjoyed the life

sands of motorists who have deter
mined to see their own country dur
ing the coming summer are taking time
by the forefock and preparing for ex-
tensive trips in all parts of America
during the spring. summer and fall
of this year. In the talk of these
motorists there is noticed vast diff
ference from the talk of previous years,
when those who planned to tour talked
only of covering as much territory as
possible and of covering that territory
in the shortest possible time.
Sightseeing now is the one theme,
and the men and women who are plan
ming trips are asking for all particu-
lars regarding the road and also in
regard to detours. Road associations
who compile information of this char
acter state the demand for informa-
ton regarding roads, surroundings and
for information regarding districts of
the main route of travel is so excep-
tional as to be exceedingly noteworthy.

METZEROTT BILL CALLS
FOR ANNAPOLIS HIGHWAY
Distance of Proposed National De-
- Tense Road Would Be About 80
Miles From Capital.

The immediate construction of the
National Defense highway from Wash
ington to Annapolis, is provided for in a
bill introduced in the Maryland state
senate by State Senator Metzerott of
Prince Georges county. 1t provides that
the work of construction be commenced
at Bladensburg. where the road will con-
meet with the Washington Baltimore
boulevard. and Camp Parole where it will
connect with the Southern
Maryland pike. e..
The absolute necessity of this road
as a defense measure is pointed out to
be in its connecting the Naval Academy
with the National Capital. The funds
to be used in this construction shall be
taken from the 100000 which has ac
crued 10 Maryland's credit from the
federal post -road-loan measure.
The read will go through Camp Pa
role, Chesterfield. Priests Bridge,
Buenna Vista and Bladensburg. The
only automobile roads between the cap
itals of Maryland and the nation are
through Baltimore or through Upper
Marlboro each a distance of about six
ty-fve miles.
The distance of the proposed road
would be about thirty miles from the
Capitol in Washington to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis
1t is at the suggestion of Senator
MetZerott. sponsor for the bill. that
the new boulevard will be named the
National Defense highway.

The Joy of the Trail.


Is there any joy in life like the joy Of the

spaces of earth and sky. days that trip
off like gypsy tune and ever the magical
road, mysterfously reckoning on and on.
Sometimes the vagabond in Mongolia
walks in the wake of the carts through
the white dust OF the trail. Or the carts
rumble on while he stoops to ii miniature
golden rod or a splendid larkspur. The
plain is studded with howers-gentian,
Canterbury bells, thornless thistle, tall,
delicateiy fringed daisy. a scented pink
morning glory. in infinitesimal moon
flower and a hundred others But
most vivid of all, the electric blue lark
spur. Sometimes the vagabond rides
by the side of the sleepy Chinese carter,
ready to recall him when the donkey,
seeking nip Of the short grass, strays
too far from the road; sometimes he sits
silently rapt in the mystery of the hori-
ION. Sometimes true yagabond-he
lies on his back in the cart, only dreamiIy
OF the castellated clouds shap-
ing and re-shaping themselves. 1t seems
to him then that he peers into the mysti-

CARE GIVEN TO BRAKES
ON MOTORS FOR FRANCE
No Part of Transport or Ambulance
Service Being Overlooked by
Uncle Sam.

The United States is not overlooking
the Importance of efficiency in the mo-
tor transport and ambulance division of
the Army. These machines must stand
a wear and tear probably never given
to motor driven vehicles since their
birth as an established necessity in
everyday and international life.
One of the most important factors en-
tering into the final analysis of mo-
tor truck ambulance which will even
tually see service Somewhere in
France" is. in the estimation of motor
war officers, the efficiency of the brakes.
The motors. especially the trucks, must
travel matter of hundreds of miles
back and forth from the front and amid
the most difficult surroundings. 1t has
been stated on authority that for three
hundred miles up and down the fighting
front there is an almost continual
stream OF trucks, ambulances. couriers
and motorcycles running in such close
proximity that unless the brakes are in
perfect condition hundreds of casualties
would result almost daily.
Brakes form only a BACKGROUND for
their more important sister, upon whom
the real burden resistant of the brake
lining itself. Thousands of miles of
brake lining is being used daily by the
and, owing to this fact
the government has ordered tests to
be made of the various makes These
tests are now going on in Washington.

Roughly. Goodrich officials estimate
that the expenditures for highway i'm
provement is approximately $235 per
capita; or, to italiciZe this, each man,

tribute this much for the building and

Necessity for vast improvement of road
conditions is emphasized in reports from
the SOUTH where unprecedented truck
travel is reported. Loads exceeding for
size all expectations are reported rum
bling over highways, and the state high
way commission of Maryland points out
that the millions that have been invested
must be spent in vain unless states I'M
dertake to repair as quickly as they build
1t is common sight, reports the Mary
land commission, Ito see loads rumbling
over our highways now that would ord-

road fabric must be rent through if we

The only fly in the ointment is the la
Dor problem. Several highway commits
sioners display marked uneasiness over

for hauling road building material. They

AUTO PROVES SAFEGUARD
NRA|LWAY CONGESTION
Motor Cars Carrying Capacity Is
Now Nations Great Reliance
in transportation.

Business was appalled, by the brief
suspension of railroad activities during
the winter billiards." said H. H. Mundy,
local representative Of the Chevrolet Mo-
tor Company of New York, yet the
total carrying capacity of the railroads
is only one-sixth that OF the automo-
biles in this country. One authority
goes SO far as to declare that the car
rying capacity of the automobile is
greater than that Of the railroad and
street car systems combined.
Deprived of more than 100000 au-
tomobfles in this country, the passen-
ger and freight congestion would be
far greater than that ooasioned by a
complete tie-up of railroad traffic.
Not only does the passenger and
freight mileage Of the automobile ex-
coed that of the railroad, but the rail-
road depends almost exclusively upon
the automobile for the primary move
ment of freight from farms and fac
tories and the final distribution. In
many cases long hauls by motors even
take care of shipments usually sent by
rail. The government has demonstrated
oonclusively the practicability of such
a move.
Use of the automobile has become
so general that even the passenger
miles traversed exceed those of either
steam railroads or electric lines. And
every mile traversed by an automobile
in carrying freight or passengers,
where this service would naturally fall
to the electric or steam lines. means a
greater saving of coal. Gasoline is rel
atively plentiful. and the price has ad-
vanced less than that of other fuels.
THE automobile is the nations great
means of transportation Its cost of
operation is relatively low, and it is
ready accessible for use. 1t is the chief
safeguard against possible failures of
other means of transportation, in addi-
ton to being regularly supplementary
