Not only will we have a new President

also new House of Representatives
and many new Senators, altogether a
greater change than has taken place for
many years. And naturally all the new
comers will have their friends on hand
to welcome them into Office.
1t win ". wise to reserve hotel ac-
commodations we'll in advance. WASH
ington Is well supplied with hostelries OF
the highest class, but on an occasion OF
this nature, the capacity of even these
great houses Is certain to be taxed to
tie limit. Experienced travellers will be
governed accordingly.
The bureau of tours of the Automobile
Club of America outlines the best auto
mobile routes, from various points, using
all hard surfaced roads;
From New York city the most conven-
lent ferry, from 130th street down, can
be used to reach the Hudson County
