HIGHWAY TO HONOR
MEMORY OF GEN. LEE
Gettysburg to New Orleans Route
May Later Reach From
Coast to Coast.

Plans for the promotion OF a great
national highway to be known as the
Lee highway, in memory of Gen. Rob-
ert f. Lee, have been drawn up by the
Lee Highway Association. of which DR..
general director The original plans of
the organization contemplated high
way along the Appalachian valley, be-
tween the Blue Ridge. Allegheny and
Cumberland mountain ranges. beginning
at the Gettysburg National Park. on
the Lincoln highway, and running via
Winchester, Staunton, by the tomb OF
Robert E. Lee at Lexington. Natural
Bridge. Roanoke. Bristol. Knoxville.
Chickamauga National Park at Chatta-
nooga, and thence to Birmingham and
New Orleans. If the plans of the direc-
tor are carried out. however. the scope
Of the undertaking will be broadened
and the road will extend from New YORK
to New Orleans and thence to San Fran
cisco. 1t would thus be a southern
counterpart of the Lincoln highway in
the north.
Appeal to the People.
1t is felt that the proposal to erect
worthy memorial to Gen. Lee in the
form Of highway would make an ire
sistible appeal to the people of the sec
tons through which it will pass. The
road will also serve as route Of tourist
travel from the populous east and from
the south to the wonderful mountain
regions Of the Appalachians and also a
direct route to Florida. New Orleans
and the far southwest.
1t is urged by the association that the
road will have q great economic Vaiue
on account of the practicability and
economy Of short-haul motor transpor-
xot hot e,
1t is hoped eventually to have the road
hard surfaced throughout it's length.
Would Beautify Highway.
OF particular Importance are the plans
for identifying the highway I'm Great
ing a fitting and worthy memorial to
Gen. Lee" says statement by Dr.
johnson, particular attention should be
paid to the appearance Of the right-o
way. While a roadbed of sufficient width
and of a durable type of construction.
transcontinental in character. would it
self constitute a great memorial. the
value of the memorial would be en-
HANGED if the roadside were beautified:
Lee was the product of the Episcopal
good form and the cultivation of the
artistic. He was the product OF West
Point, which makes religion OF neat
ness and correctness in every item OF
appearance. He was the product OF a
lineage embodying the Hottest ideals
OF gentlemanliness and nobility in which
Virginia and the south take especial
pride. A neglected roadside. an I'M
seemly approach to- city, anything
offensive to refined taste. therefore,
would i'll become a highway bearing the
name of Lee. The route through cities
should, whenever possible. follow boule-
wards and parks. and parkways should
be created in the country at intervals
throughout the length OF the line Ma
ture has constituted this highway a
highway de luxe"

moved forward to the dash and the
back laid fiat bed "A inches by 6
feet inches is formed
Under this is a galvanized iron box
IL inches wide. II inches deep and the
full length of the seat. used for stor-
age and protection of clothing, which
is considered an important point.
Leading from the front seat to the
rear door is clear floor space feet
long and 2As feet wide. On the left
side is trunk az feet long by 90
inches wide. and a table covered with
olicloth to carry clothes and also
serve as a kitchen table. Directly
back of this is two-burner gasoline
stove connected directly with the
main gasoline tank. which is of the
air.pressure type. holding fifteen.
gallons, which provides fuel for both
the stove and the motor of the car.
opposite the stove is the wash
stand, 30 by 30 inches. with a large
space under il for bulky but light
weight cooking utensils. etc On the
risht side opposite the clothing
trunk and of similar size is another
trunk partitioned to carry two extra
tires and ample space to carry pro-
visions for two weeks. These two
trunks. which carry considerable
weight. are directly over the rear
springs. on the strongest part of the
chassis frame. and balance each
o.her and contribute largely to easy
rioing. In order to give stability to
the cruiser it has been arranged that
eariy All OF the heavy material is
carried below the plimsoll. The space
| Formerly occupied by the running
boards is housed in to carry. accessi-
ply, on the left side the storage bat
.ery ana large supply of oils and
crease and on the right side tire
line.
Under the main floor forward is
eawdust insulated box capable of hold
ing n1ty pounds of ice and provided
with drawpipe through the bottom.
Near this box is another long enough
to carry rifle, gun and fishing rods
Back of these two boxes is a barge
trapdoor giving access to the gasoline
tank and brake connections, rear con-
struction. etc. This trap is also a
Mandy waste basket. AS the rear door
is also another trapdoor which opens
INTO box 30 inches square by 6
inches deep for the storage of tools
and tire-repair outfit.
The cruiser is the idea and handi-
work of j. w. Brashears. jr, of this
city, who saw considerable service in
southwestern Europe as an officer in
the Engineer Corps with the A. E. F.
in France and who leaves tomorrow
on an extended tour of the United
States. He expects to travel about
the country comfortably without any
particular running schedule. The

weatherproof The approximate cost
of the body and equipment was $3.50.
which, with the cost of the chassis
of $3.50, the finished cruiser cost about
$1,000, making a comfortable mobile
home for two persons. The cruiser is
equipped with electric lights, fireless
cooker, books and a clock. 1t is a
snug little home, which eliminates the
necessity of searching for a camp-s
ground, stores, etc. and provides in
case of a breakdown a place to live
in while awaiting repairs.

The term clincher simply indicates
that the tire has a clinch. A regu-

narily used on small tires. This in

INSPECT WHEELS OFTEN +!

1t is wise for the motorist to in
spect frequently the wheels of his
alignment Running over rough
pavements and ruts quickly throws
the wheels out of line. and. unless
proper adjustments are made, the tire
will soon be ruined. The tread be-
comes worn through to the fabric or
cord in short time.

Philippines large quantities of I'M

Exports OF filler leaf to the United

a large market for Philippine leaf in
the United States is not anticipated
in the immediate future, but Spanish
demand and reviving British demand
are expected TO take care of the ex-
