NEW HIGHWAY
T0V|RG|N|A VALLEY
Time-Worn Georgetown-Lees
burg Pike Being Rebuilt by
Private Enterprise.

Virglnians, near Virginians, and
the general pyulic VIII be happy TO
know that the historic Georgetown
Loesburg turnpike " being resU-
faced. IL won't be many months Der
fore this heTetofore impossible link
between Washington and the valley
OF Virginia will be open for trafnc.
Just exactly what this means IL
realized In it's fullest extent by those
who live along this old worn-out
turnpike, and those few ventnresome
spirits who have driven their motors
over its SCARED and rugged surface
and through the deeply rutted dirt
roads along either side OF IL. The
people who live in It's neighborhood
feel wen repaid for their incon-
Venience by, the fact that they have
been able TO live within the influence
OF the wonderfully picturesque sur
iroundings. 1T Is hardly possible to
describe these in a brief way. each
one demanding a much wider review
than may be here attempted In a
merely general way
WEALTH OF SCENERY.
Campers. wanderlusters.. and un-
organized pedestrians from Washing
ton are familiar with the historic,
scientific. and scenic attractions or
this neighborhood which exceed In
unusual degree any neighborhood for
hundreds OF miles around Washing
ton. At the Great Falls OF the Poto-
mac is a wonderful park where the
tripper may delight his eyes with the
rushing torrents and cataracts: where
those minded for engineering may OBJ
serve the efforts OF George Washing
ton to open up for navigation by locks
and canals the waterway above tide
water. At this moment the only
means of getting to the falls on the
Virginia side is by trolley. A branch
from this highway into the falls will
open up this point to automobilists.
To the residents OF Washington this
road means another available suburb
20 those living along the road an op-
portunity to get handily to the mar
llets and amusements Of Washington
and to both the opportunity of locat-
ing on an historic link between the
Forth and the south, for this road
makes a route at least five miles
shorter than any other into the Shen-
andoah Valley and through an inn
nitely more beautiful country.
BY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.
This road will be opened through
the enterprise of a few citizens who,
despairing aid from the United States
ginia or from the county, finally de-
termined to ask for a charter from
the State to rehabilitate the road and
erect tollgates. 1t is truly hoped that
the United States Government. once
seeing that the safety of the dam at
Great Falls demands it. will take over
this highway and replace it with a
splendid avenue topping the hills of
the falls. Modest beginnings must
precede magnificences, and in this
sense the Highway Company Is 4
pioneer and not a profiteer. r. -

FRONT BRAKES INTEREST
RACE MEET SPECTATORS

The addition OF frsnt wheel brakes
on most of the racing cars in the Ell
gin race caused plenty of speculation
on the part of the 10000 spectators.
Because of the right-angle turns on
the 8ia mile course. drivers besided to
have brakes on all four wheels. so
that the cars could be driven at higher
speed almost to tke sharp corners in
stead of shutting Off and coasting TO a
slower speed.
1t Is believed that the added equip-
ment played no small part in the sue
cess of the Palma and Duesenberg
cars. as the Monroe Frontenac team
were not similarly equipped and were
forced to shut of power long before
the turns were reached.

By l.. j. FAULKNER.

The cry still goes in quarters that an auto
mobile is pleasure vehicle some States exemptng them
from taxes personal property, while others place
very high tax, considering them uxuries In view OF
this fact the following figures make interesting reading
In a certain Western State not long ago. thorough
review was made by firm handling commercial paper
with view of ascertaning the amount OF business as
compared with pleasure to which automobiles are put
These figures show that of 500 contracts entered
into by in purchasing l9O were with farmers
who employed their for the usual farm and family
use fifty-nne with country merchants, fortysM
of whom used their for business; twenty five were
with contractors all but two OF whom used their ma
chimes for business purposes twenty-five were with pro
fessional men, OF whom sixteen used automobiles IN
business; thryone with bOokkeepers clerks, sales
and stenogaphers eighteen of whom used cars for
business; twentyfour with mine and ranch foremen
of whom thirteen used for BUSINESS ninety with
laborers all bat sixteen being used for business; forty
three with mechanics all but twelve for business, and
seven with miners all but one for business.
1t found also that these same general averages
carried out in the city contracts, nearly half OF
which with merchants OF whom fully threefourths
used their for business.
In view Of these facts, it is safe to assume that
similar statistics would bring about the results else
where. 1t seems passing strange that many bankers still
the false assumption that automobiles luxures
and of them to have forgotten that not so
long ago. the purchase Of horses carriages and
accessories was financed time, much automobiles
now and the ground that they were essential
means of transportation.
that there is lifting to certain extent of the ban on
credits and that the banks attitude toward prospective
borrowers is becoming less rigid.
Careful investigation has brought out the fact that
automobile contracts do not into the category of
necessities in the relaxation of strict credit allowances
1t is just sensible to say that telephones are not
necessities because few, comparatively, them for
social conversations.
Those of who remember two decades ago
cannot help but wonder what would do today If the
auto industry had not into existence 1t has been
of the most important economic factors In tins coun
trys progress during the last twenty years. and it is
time that it should be recognized for its true worth IN
the business world.
Because business uses his pen to write social
note it does not place The pen the category OF uxuries
1t is very essential factor in the signing of business
check
1t is safe to that 80 per cent of the au
tomobiles in the United States today used wholly
in part for business purposes, and any curtailment
of banking privileges of this 80 per cent because 20 per
cent used for pleasure, is nonsenscal.

Civil Life Too Tame
For Many Soldiers

GALVESTON, Tex, March 1S--De-
claring that they find civil life too
tame for them, many ex.soldiers, sail
ors and marines are abandoning land
pursuits in favor OF the United States
merchant marine. observations OF
CAPTAIN o. j. Christensen, local man
aver of the United States Shipping
Boards sea service bureau, are that Il
large number of the men applying for
bcrths are dissatisfied with indoor
or sedentaiy occupations after the
open.air existence OF the army or ma
Wy. They are keen, too, to learn of
the opportunities for getting ahead as
seafaring men.
Four classes OF inexperienced work.
ers are being taken on by shipping
board offices, ordinary seamen, mess
men, coal passers and firemen. The
ordinary seaman earns $50 month
as compared with 50 and 10 in pre-.
war days; messmen make $40; coal
passers SIS and firemen 500. Before
the United States Shipping board
came into existence, the wages paid
coal passers and firemen ranged from
81 to $50 month.
Three years experience, according

which may be applied for after anoth

In the cngineroom like system Of
promotion prevails. Firemen advance
successfully from firemen to oilers,
and from oilers TO wntertendcrs. At
the end of their apprenticeship they
may take tn Examination for third
assistant ngineer, paying SlG3.75 to
$lS8.75; another year and they may
take an examination for second as.
sistant engineer ut from $lS7.50 to
$212.50; the third year they may ap'
ply for first assistants ticket at
from $21G25 to $2+l.25. When they
attain chief engineers berth, they
receive remuneration ranging from
