Trip Worth Doing
Better to Make Two DAYS
of the Journey, Although
1t Can Be Done i'm a
Single Continuous Run

The usual motor trip half or two
thirds of the way up the Hudson River
and back will be at least doubled in
interest by a short extension into the
Ashokan Reservoir district. just back
of Kingston. A good way to include
this in a circuit of moderate length is
to start north along the east side route
through Yonkers, Tarrytown, Peekskill
and Poughkeepsie TO Rhinebeck, turning
west (down to the river) to Rhine
cliff, and crossing by ferry to Kings
ton. Going up the rather steep grade
from the ferry landing into and through
Kingston, one soon enters a stretch
of state road which leads right up to
and alongside the reservoir.
AS the population of New York City
has increased, it has been necessary
to go farther and still farther, for
an adequate water supply. Many re-
member when the Westchester and
Duchess County reservoirs were con-
sldered sufficient for an average life

the future.
The state road from Kingston leads
along the north side Of what seems
more like fair-sized natural lake than
an artificial basin. Unless continuing
beyond its western limits the touring
bureau Of the American Automobile
Association suggests turning slightly
south, rounding the farther end OF the
reservoir and coming back by the south
side. This Will give the best and
closest views of the huge dam which
impounds the vast amounts Of water
until they start on their long flow to
the metropolis, and bring one back into
the going route just east of the reser-
volr. from which point Kingston is soon
reentered
AS variation from the up-trip, it
will be worth while to continue south

Leaving Newburgh, the main road turns
somewhat INLAND (until the new scenic
route over Storm King Mountain is
completed, probably about a year
hence), to pass through Central VAL

another hour the return trip Is COM
pleted by crossing either the Dyckman
Street or the Fort Lee West 13Oth

Tire Prices Are
More Likely to
Rise Than Fall
That, 1t Is Stated by Manu-
facturers, Is Likely Result
of Buyers Holding Off;
Cheaper Than i'm 1920

Tire makers say that car owners
who are holding BACK on the purchase
of equipment in the hope Of reduc-
ton in prices are likely to be disap-
pointed. There is nothing in the
manufacturing situation to indicate a
downward trend Of tire costs.
On the contrary, "break" that will
necessarily mean the advancing OF
prices seems inevitable.
1t is rather amazing to note that
prices now are much lower than they
were ten years ago. 1t is still more
interesting to compare prices of stand
ard manufacture tires to-day with
prices of the same product at the be-
ginning Of the war. Good tires now
cost no more than in 1914. There has
not even been an appreciable advance
IN the last two years. And yet the
quality is higher and the purchaser
gets more value for his money than
ever before.
When one considers that prices of
raw material, labor and transportation
have made more tremendous leaps IN
the last five years than during any
period in manufacturing history, the
natural query concerning the manu-
facturers is, How do they hold down
the prices ?"
And from this comes the answer to
the query, "Will prices go down."
The standard tire manufacturer has
combated price increases by develop
ing his processes. He has expended
millions of dollars in the installation
Of new machinery, better machinery
and new methods. He has brought his
output up to maximum and has made
his profits on a quantity margin. He
has smashed overhead expenses by
use of these weapons and by putting
his distribution on such q broad basis
as to make it economical.
Output has about reached its zenith.
SO long as demand continues strong
there is possibility that tire prices
Will remain on their present level.
But if a general determination TO
hold out" should spread among car
owners it is more than probable that
such an attitude would tend to create
reverse effect to the one desired and
send tire prices rocketing.
An illustration of the facts recited
here may be obtained from the follow
ing table of price comparisons com
piled recently by leading tire and
rubber company. Although this table,
OF course, shows only the quotations
OF that particular company, it may be
accepted as All average because the
company is considered one Of the lead
ers in the industry and is a standard
manufacturing concern.

High Food Prices Held
Due to Faulty System
Consumer Pays Heavily for Lack
of Proper Grading and
DistrihufiOu

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. 12.-The con-
sumer of food pays, in many cases,
from 100 to 200 per cent more than
the producer receives, according to d
sta ement Just issued by the State De-
par57~ ent of Agriculture here
9 A summary OF the activities Of the
department for the fiscal year 9l9'2o,
issued by Alva Agee, secretary, de-
clares organization of cooperative
groups for collective shipment and sell
in of food products is doing much
toward cutting costs. Standardization
is being worked ont, it is shown,
through adoption OF state wide grades
of products.
"Criticism of the distributor is idle,
because the fault lies in the system
itself" the statement says. millions of
producers act Independently in grad
ing and directing their crops to mar
ket 1t results that great centers are
congested with vast amounts of food
products of unknown quality, and re-
distribution 10 smaller cities and
towns entails heavy expense and a
loss of time that impairs quality.
Lack of assurance regarding quality
makes necessary a small army OF per-
