NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ROAD q
INVESTIGATED FOR MOTORISTS
A. A. A. Touring Bureau Makes Special
Report for Benefit of Autoists

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived at the headquarters of the
American Automobile Association re-
garaing the condition of the Wash
ington- Richmond road Members of
the touring bureau of the association
recently made a detailed survey of
the entire route and have submitted
the following report:
The first eighteen miles south from
Washington is fine macadam or con-
crete and in excellent condition. From
mileage ISL to 3SS is graded gravel
and now in very good condition. Parts
of this section. however, have been
recently built. and, like any other
construction of this type. will become
soft and badly rutted during midwin-
ter and early spring. when extreme
weather conditions usually cause so
much damage. The next "a miles is
newly built concrete and in perfect
condition.
One Link in Poor shape.
From i1.2 to 81, just one-half
mile, is the one link which is at pres
emit giving serious trouble after OF
during heavy rains. This condition
is due TO the fact that some new work
is in progress. and with view to
constructing both an adequate and
permanent type of road this section
was submitted as a federal aid project.
Work on same was started during the
month of June of this year. and at the
present time all grading is completes
and two temporary wooden bridges
have been built. which means that
there is a fill twenty-four feet wide
and approximately six feet in depth
for the entire one-half mile. This
6ll. being entirely .of new earth be-
came thoroughly watervsoaked dur
ing the recent Unprecedented rainy
weather and many cars were deeply
mired. The detour through the woods
via Missouri mills was attempted by
some, and. as that alternative is al
ways in dangerously bad condition in
wet weather, many cars had to be lit.

orally dragged by teams. In most
cases the unfortupate travellers were
directed by farmers to follow this
course in order to make excessive
charges for use of teams.
The Virginia state highway depart
ment is DESTROYS Of having motorists

next few weeks. as the men will be
at work placing concrete surface and

find it necessary to travel the route
win be assisted in every way possible.
and state teams will be OF hand ready
TO pull cars which might become
mired when the troublesome link is
unusually muddy.
The remaining route on through to
Richmond-41.1 to 131,S-consists of
all gravel now in generally good con-
dition and which will remain SO until
the extreme, winter weather sets in.
In connection with the bad fill
around the swamp. the state highway
commissioner of Virginia makes the
following announcement:
What Virginia Ix Doin.s.
"Commis sioner Coleman states that
arrangements have been made for the
construction and maintenance of a
detour around the fill across the
swamp land on the Washington
Richmond highway, which, since the
heavy rains of August, have been al
most impossible. The state has pur-
chased the right to maintain a detour
around the fill for such length of time
as may be required to complete the
new roadway. under construction.
THE detour, on which the state force
is now at work, will he about three
quarters of a mile long. and at no
point more than half mile from the
fiji. and can be easily located by mo-
torists using the highway. Completion
of the detour is anticipated in about
ten days. The roadway across the
fill, which is now hard but rough, will
not be entirely closed to traffic until
the detour is opened to the public. y

BIZ rHEoDoRE r. MOVES.

Speculation regarding future deve}-
spments in automobile price-cutting
has been rife among members of the
automotive industry following the
sensational price-slashing inaugural
ed by the Ford Motor Company.
Some manufacturers, Immediately
on the receipt Of that announcement
by Henry Ford. rushed to the tele-
graph Office to send their dealers
words of encouragement anent the
continued high price of their product.
Others, approving OF the action oy
Ford in trying to bring prices back
to a normal level, have announced re-
auctions to take effect as general
rule on October l.
Have Announced Reductions.
The following makers of cars have
announced reductions ranging from
500 to $3.50: Franklin, Crow Elk
hart. Studebaker. Hudson, Essex; VII
lys-Oyerland, Maxwell, Chalmers,
Chandler, Cleveland. Locomobile ana
The biggest reduction was made by
the Harets Motors, operating Simplex,
Locomobile and Mercer cars. mir
teen hundred and fifty dollars was
dropped from the list price of the Lo-
comobile cars and $1,000 from the
price Of the Mercer.
In making this astonished price
slash, Emlen S. Haze, president OF the
company. makes the following state
ment:
ut is our belief that the spirit of
the times demands a reduction in
prices so that the purchasing powe
or the dollar may be increased to

In the early partl of this year when
we took over the management of
these companies our objective was.

proving the quality Of the cars with :
out unusually strong engineering or
sanization, to effect manufacturing
economies through increased sales

still greater quality than il has re-
ceived before.
I'VE believe that our attitude will

duction In costs of material. then we

products at these reduced prices.
Men well acquainted with the au-
tomotive industry predict that Henry
Ford's action will affect all cars up
to the Packard class. Whether this
will be true or not can only be de-
termined by future developments.
Many manufacturers have stated
that 1t will be impossible to reduce
the price of automobiles on account
OF the high est of steel and labor
Several makers of cars state that 1t
will be necessary to increase instead
of decrease the cost of automobiles
Seesna-Hand Dealers Hit.
Dealers in second hand cars will
likely suffer to a considerable ex-
tent from the unexpected reduction to
Ford prices. AZ far as can be learned
even Ford dealers had noiinkling tina,
prices were to be cut at this time

How to Kill Weeds.

Any weed. no matter how big. may
be killed by a method described by
st. Leonard Basin in the Scientific
American, as follows:
Cut Off the top growth down to the
ground. Then scoop out the central
stalk as much as possible and fill the
little cavity with salt. II possible, do
this in dry weather. When rain &C.

place fresh amount on the root. At
the end Of three days (if the salt has
not been washed away It will have
penetrated to every part of the root
and the weed will never give any more
trouble.

In clumps. the hollow should be made
large enough to permit the salt to
seep down into the various roots.
Salt will easily kill grass; so partic-
ular pains should be taken not to spill
when working upon the weeds.
