HIGHWAY SCOUT AUTO
I 7. MEETS WITH ACCIDENT

Pembina, NJ D., Oct. > 25.-That
pathfinding in the organizing of
new transcontinental highway is not
necessarily all pleas re was shown
by an accident that befell General
Manager Truman "Pierson and party
travelling in Scout Car Mol of. the
mississippi River Scenic Highway
between the Canadian border and st.
Vincent, MINI. 'j@11 ~ .%#t5s. Il
Owing to the heavy rains of the
past few days the Scenic Highway
Scout Car sustained head-on COL
lision with Ford, damaging it's own
front end and demolishing the "Uni-
versal Car" Nor was this all; Twice
theEcar was ditched, being unable to
get q hold in the rich soil of the
Red River Valley; the second time
it stayed in the ditch all night, forty
miles out on the prairies, where the
party was compelled to vroost all
night, with nothing to fight off the
yelping coyotes except the spot light.
AS Mr.. ,Pierson said: 1T was some
experience and goes to show that
while pathf1nding, one must be pre-
pared for anything. However, to off

trouble did not occur on the Scenic
Highway, but on other territory
which we were making by special re-
quest. '-' '.@ r. 3[Sjf
After spending several days at
Winnipeg, which has now become the
extreme northern terminus of the
Scenic Highway, and returning south
as far as Little Falls, Mimi, the par
ty, which consists of Mr.. ,Pierson,
Mrs. Pierson and their daughter, was
recalled north by several towns seek
ing to be included in the Scenic
Highway system. ~ 1t was on this Sec
ond trip north that the party met
with accidents, washouts, delays, and
alt the various annoyances which
fell to the lot of the pathfinder on
new territory. Beyond discomfort,
which the party learned to bear with
philosophy, no harm was suffered,
and the Scout car, after necessary re-
pairs will resume it's journey south,
via Minneapolis, Clinton and Daven-
port, to. st. Louis where the annual
convention of the Scenic Highway as
ISOLATION will be- held in November
and thence to New Orleans and on to
Port Arthur Texas. :,

-, Trade with. Australia Grove.

= Trading between this country and
Australia is showing healthy growth,
according to figures supplied to the de-
partment of commerce by A. w. Fer
rim, trade commissioner, who is at Mel
bourne. They cover imports and ex-
ports for the first quarter OF, the cur.
rent year, and show the imports dur
ing that period to have been about
$27, 775,OOO, against exports to this
country Of approximately $16,350, 900.
February exports nearly equaled in
value the totals for January and
March, and in that month the outgoing
shipments exceeded the imports. In
thesame month, however, the value of
the imports was less than half of the
goods brought In during March.

OLD NORTH STATE HAS - -. :.
FAIRLY GOOD ROAD SYSTEM

George A. Beggs of Greensboro, N.
c., discussing in Washington the era
of road building in his state, said:-
a:H"North Carolina will be found TAX
ing further advantage of government
aid in building good roads during
the year 1921. The Old North State
has a, fairly good system of roads
now, but the people are awakened
to the need OF better highways, and
will demand, that further appropria-
lions be made for this purpose by
county and state officials during the
coming year: An association has been
formed known as the Wilmington
Charlotte-Ashville Highway associa-
ton, for the purpose Of promoting
a highway from the mountains to the
sea. The whole state is alive to the
necessity for better roads and any
measure that comes before next ses-
sion of the general assembly is pref
ty certain of support, The South has
been, at times, notorious for bad
roads, and North Carolina is inter-
ested in doing its part toward eradi-
eating this stamina"

Cardinals Hat Symbol Of Office.


: The popularity of the cardinals hat
is that it is not to be worn. On one
occasion only is it to be seen on the
head Of the cardinal, and that is when
the pope himself places It there asa
symbol Of its owners elevation to the
Sacred college. When the cardinal dies
It is placed In his coffin. The hat is
of deeper red than that of the robe
worn by the cardinal: It has long
heavy silken cords, each with II; tas-
sells ut the end, hanging on either side.
The crimson robes which, like the hat,
denote the cardinals Office, are made
Of cloth which for several generations
past has been supplied by firm Of
cloth merchants at Burtscheid, near
Aix-la- Chapelle. The process by which
the dye is distilled Is jealousy
guarded secret.

dinance plan Several In.
prOvements.

Owners Of dogs in Aledo are be-
ing warned that it is open season
for the dog catchers. In the regu-
lar meeting of the city council last
night the proper authorities were
directed to enforce the ordinance
which calls for the muzzling Of all
dogs which is effective from July
1, until Sept. Is.
The councilmen also discussed q
number of improvements which
will be made in the city. principal
of which will be the widening of
Seventh street between Walnut and
Locust streets and the laying OF
new walks around Central park.
Upon suggestion of Alderman T.
D. Winders, the matter of laying
concrete walks along the west side
of the Central park was discussed
and the authority given the street
and alley committee to exercise
Judgment in the matter.
A number of property owners
along West Seventh street, where
the paving is to be widened, who
appeared at the meeting on request
of Mayor C. A. Beers, took up the
matter of the improvement. 1t was
decided that the men should meet
this afternoon and authorize a
committee to secure the services OF
an engineer and surveyor and have
the specifications for the contract
drawn up and issue call for bids
1t is the plan Of the property own
ers to have all the preliminary
work done soon and start active
construction Of the street immed
lately following the fair weef
which ends Sept Is.
Complaints have reached thu
councilmen against citizens WHIT

rected to see that the ordinances
are enforced.

FIRE DESTROYS.
CILChRIST HALL
Blaze Of Unknown Origin Causes
Total Loss Of Notorious VII.
hge ~Bowery."

Gilchrist frequenters will be dis.
appointed to learn of the destruc.
ton Of the "Bowery," notorious
dance hall which has fiourished in
the village for many years.
Early Sunday morning nearby
residents discovered the building in
flames. The village was entirely
without fire protection, not having
even adequate water supply. The
conflagration was of unknown
origin but residents express the
opinion that it may have been
caused by a cigaret stub as there
had been a dance in the building on
Saturday night. The dancers left
the building at l o'clock and the
kerosene lamps which were used
were all extinguished. The fire
which was discovered about 5:3o
caused a total destruction of the
building and contents, including a
number Of chairs, piano, a guam
tity of athletic goods. consisting of
boxing gloves, wrestling mats. etc,
James McFate, the owner, placed
the loss at approximately $500.
There was no insurance on either
building or the contents.

nue. were also raided but no evil
dence found. -..

TAKE JEWELRY
AND CLOTHING

Seeral hundred dollars worth of
clothing and jewelry was stolen
from the William Snyder home,
1910 Twentieth avenue, last night.
Burglars gained entrance through
the front door, apparently using a
pass key.
The Snyder family left their
home about 7 o'clock and returned
at 10 to find the house in disorder
and valuables missing. The loot in
cluded two revolvers, gold laval
Ter, leather travelling bag, several
articles of clothing and liquor.
The household silverware and a
large bundle of mems and women's
garments had been stacked in a
pile ready to be carried away. The
unexpected arrival Of the family
probably prevented these from be-
ing taken.

DRUGGISTS OBJECT
AGAINST VENDORS

Moline druggists also appealed
to the council last evening protest
ing against vendors of patent medi-
cines and especially medicine
shows. Ernest Jericho, proprietor
of Jericbo's drug, store on Fourth
avenue and Fifteenth street. was
spokesman. Mayor Skinner stated
the council now has under consid-
Grafton an ordinance covering the
subject.
A resolution ordering the re-
pairing of Fifteenth street hill I'M
der the direction of the street and
alley committee, was finally adopt
ed. Alderman Holt suggested that
the work be done on a cost plus
basis. The last time the street was
repaired, year or two ago, the
cost amounted to approximately
81, 1000. 1t is estimated it will be
nearly double that amount this
year.

CRISIS
DRIVES WHEAT
PRICE UPWARD

Chicago, Aug 3.-Sharp new ad-
vances in the price Of wheat took
place today owing more or less to
surmises that European war CON-
plications might bring about en-
larged demand for food supplies
from the United States. Specula-
tive trade continued to broaden,
and this morning wa smaterially in
excess Of what it was a few days
ago. On the other hand. hedging
business was relatively light. Open
ing prices, which ranged from 2 to
Z cents higher, with December $2.17
to 1920, and March $2.17 to $2.22,
wese followed by moderate further
gains and then something OF q re-
action. 4.
In later dealings the market
showed extraordinary strength. In
creased estimates Of French and
Italian import requirements
counted in favor of the bulls, and
so too did news Of urgent inquir-
les for wheat by the British royal
commission. The close was ner-
vous 15kc to 171ac net higher, with
December 2.29, and March 232k.
Corn moved up with wheat and
as result of continued dry wealth
er. After opening sc to 2Ae
higher, with September $1.3SA tt
Sr39, and December $1231a te
SIPS, the market scored a slight
further advance.
Subsequently, persistent buying
on the part of leading commission
houses led to further upturns. Tht
close was strong, 2Bc to 45sc ne
higher with September LAP t
Laps and December 1.25A to 126
Oats were governed by the ascen
of other grain, starting &c to q,
higher, with September 69Hc tt
zoe, and remaining firm.
Provisions reflected the strength
of cereals. Buyers, however, wer'
not plentiful.

ASK STANDARD
eARBAeE CANS

A motion to amend the present
garbage ordinance by requiring
residents To provide themselves
with standard garbage containers
was passed by the city council Of
East Moline ct its regular meeting
last night. The motion was pro-
posed after repeated requests had
been made by Richard Mercer. gar
bage purchaser. Mercer stated
that refuse of all kinds was being
thrown into various kinds OF con-
tanners, many of which had no COW
ers and that the conditions found
In the alleys behind some business
establishments and residences was
menace to public health.
A. d. Taft, city treasurer, petit
toned the council for $40 month
bonus. His request was placed on
file.
Conditions relative to railroad
crossing protection was discussed
by the aldermen following the
business session. New asphaitic
pavement on Seventeenth street
and Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth and
Thirteenth avenues was opened for
traffic Sunday, but railroads hav-
! ing crossings at these intersections
have failed to signify their inten-
tons of providing traffic police
, men there. Similar crossings at
! Nineteenth, Thirteenth and Sew
enth streets are provided with such
means of protection, but it is
pointed out by the council MEM
bers that traffic on the newly OPP
ened streets will be as heavy, if not
heavier, than at these crossings
and that unless well guarded. serl-
Gus accidents may result.
