WASHINGTON. D. c.. March 20
The biggest auto JOY ride ever pulled
off in the good old I. S. a is on the
program for next Sunday Soldiers in
from the training camps on furloUsh
that day are TO be loaded into loaned
cars and whirled through the parks and
the avenues to take the air and see
the sights OF sheir country's beautiful
capital Everybody who has car is
expected to list it up and drive It or
send chauffeur along with it. The
committee in charge called for 1000
cars figuring that 5000 soldier boys
could be ridden comfortably in that
number. The prompt and generous
way the car owners have responded
makes it appear that there will be
more than that many cars, and no
soldier spending next SUNDAY in the
city will be left out OF the JOY ride II ne
wants to go. There is to be a lead or
pilot car. AID the 1000 and more autos
will trail it. The procession in It's
