In looking over a batch OF those
wonderful house-organs published by
the leading auto manufacturers of
the United States, the writer found
a very good piece OF poetry in the
Chalmers Monogram, written by a
Major George F. Gillette, U. S. R..
now serving in France. It Is entitled
Omar Rhayyam at the Wheel" Here
she goes:
Come NIL the cup and in the nres
OF spring
Your winter garments OF repentance
fling.
The Bird of Time hath but a little
way to futter
And the Bird is on the wing"
So crank your Car and along the
Road of Life
Speed fast away from Cares and
Troubles rife
Your Gas is ever oozing rom the
Tank
For what you miss you have your
self to thank.
So take the Wheel and spin along
the track,
Before from Age your inner tubes
all crack
Far to the fields which natures Sun
doth kiss,
With motor running SWEET and
ne'er a spark doth miss.
Adjust your carburetor. get out
every mile,
Forget old tears, amalgamate a
smile.
That won't come OF and nothing
e'er can dim II
Put your heart on High, scorning
speed limit.
For when your span Of Life Is done
You're surely reckoned by your
run"
Let not your supply Of Gas beguiIe
But watch your growing Record on
the Dial.
The miles you run. from Dust to
Dust
Measures how you've cheated old
So open wide the Throttle, hit the
Pike
And take from Life everything you
like.
Then when at last you've stalled
and burned out all your wires.
And you've had every bit OF wear
from all your tires,
The Road OF Joy behind you smiles
Upon your record of a million miles.
Serve-save-smfle- war can't
asst forever!
B. G, Koether. editor of the
ouieterion. published by the Hyatt
Roller Bearing Company. Of Detroit,
las struck the right idea In his edi-
orial in July's Quieterion:

It Is the hardest thing we do. We
promise ourselves that we will and
hen sell ourselves a lot of bum ex-
cuses as to why we didn't Every
hing is habit.
Saving is a maitland q habit that

By forming the habit, today, of

D.C.ROADSN NOT GOOD
FOR USE OF AUTOS

Roar maintenance has become an
6mportant factor in these days when
transportation by motor car is a neces-
sary aid. especially in relieving rail
road congestion. Families moving
from town to town find it more
economical to travel by motor car,
merchants deliver goods to suburbs
and nearby towns quicker and with
less cost while the farmer brings in
his market supplies in greater guam
titles and in less than half the time
as compared with the tedious and in
efficient method of the horse-drawn
vehicle. In fact the automobile has
become the most practical means OF
transportation for reasonable dis
tances in those parts of the country
where roads are good. Where these
lines of travel are badly neglected,
both the townsmen and farmers are
losers.
Maryland Roads.
Many States have long since realized
the value of lending every effort in
constructing and maintaining first
class highways. New Jersey and
Maryland have both determined upon
the concrete road as being the most
substantial and one which will sus-
tain the increasing heavy travel The
initial cost is, Of course, far greater
than that of other materials, but con-
crete requires little il any repair from
year to year. In Ohio and Michigan,
the convicts are now at work complet-
ing the more important links on the
main arteries of travel. With the
completion, this month, Of a twenty
mile section of brick and concrete
near GAINESVILLE, Ohio, the engineers
will have made a record in construct
ing the road within eight months. The
Detroit-Toledo route will also be COM
pIeted within a few weeks, thus maxi
ing an almost continuous improved
road from the Michigan city to WASH
ington. The Baltimore pike Is rap
idly being reconstructed by convict
labor, and several miles OF this are
almost completed. 1t is interesting to
observe this progress, which Is pelng
made in providing for the transporta-
ton of army equipment and supplies
"A well as the necessities of the coun-
Try at large.
Here in the District of Columbia,
where suburban roads should be the
finest in the country, the automoblllst
Is disappointed to find that even the
most important thoroughfares are in
miserable condition, and serve as
htndrance to travel by truck or pas
senger car. For the fiscal year end
ing June, 1918, $465, 900 was appropria-
ated for repairs OF city streets ana
suburban roads, and of this amount
Sa7s ok was expended The receipts
from automobile tags alone was $l52,-
b3o to which is added a like amount
IRON the United States Treasury,
making over 100000 available for
District expenses. In comparing re-
ceipts and expenditures the automo-
bilist virtually pays for District OF
Columbia road maintenance, but does
not in turn receive the good roads TO
which he is entitled.

MAIN Trunk Lines.

Three of the main trunk lines radi-
atinK from washington are but little
better than the roads Of some States
where it has been impossible to raise
the necessary funds. These routes
are as important as any in the coun-
try, and with the commercial value
which they have in aiding the Ma
tional Capital, every effort should be
made to improve and properly main
tain them. The Rockville pike. or
Wisconsin avenue, is a series of ruts
and bumps. and has received very
little repair. Bladensburg road, on
the direct route to Baltimore, has
been one of the poorest sections on
that forty-mile trip. Poles IN the
center of the road are a constant men,
ace to safe travel. and accidents are
happening continually. The direct
road to Annapolis has always been
rough and dusty. in marked contrast
with the boulevard macadam high
way which one meets Immediately on
crossing the State line. A short sec
ton OF this is now being worked on.
but there still remains that mile of
rough. dusty gravel beyond the top Of

to the retailer, but the company
makes deliveries direct to the con-

fectly fresh coffee, and the con-
sumner gets all the benefit
During the past three years this
firms growth has been really phe-

business demanded larger quar-
tiers and the firm moved to its

Gives Premiums Away.
In addition to selling an excel
lent grade Of coffee direct to the
consumer from the rooster. the
Pan American Coffee company
gives premiums away with its
sales. This is one feature OF the
company's business that has in
creased its sales wonderfully.
People who use the coffee roasted
by this firm know it is the best
obtainable. and they also know
they have the additional benefit
Of securing a dividend on their
purchases.
In a sense this is what the pre-
miums are: A profit sharing
scheme that gives the consumer
that part Of the money which Or
dinarily would 90 to the middle
man or TO the retailer. In the cof-
fee sold bV the retailer there are
also premium coupons. The cou-
pons can be exchanged for val
liable pieces Of china. glassware

coffee is high priced at this time.
Transportation OF the green coftee

The freisht rate on green cof-

Three different grades OF coffee
are roasted by the Pan American
company Special Red Label and
Blue Label The Blue Label is
the best and naturally the most
expensive Formerly a fourth
grade was made. but this has been
discontinued since the lower
grades Of coffee have been so diff
ficult TO obtain.
There is not much use buying
cheap grade Of coffee at this time,
as the cheap grades cost nearly as
much as the better grades, and are
much inferior. The best coffee TO

is the Blue Label brand made by

IT IS encouraging indeed. during
i these strenuous days. to hear a
business house say that business is
not only very good. but that il is
growing better every day. and this
is exactly what the management

hurt the coffee business to some
extent in this city. because OF the
way transportation has been ham
pered.
Practically all of the coffee that
Is being roasted here comes from
South America. of late it has been
next to impossible to get any
Mocha or Java coffee from the
