Harpers Ferry to Boonsboro and
back to Frederick will take some
thing over three hours. This will
permit you to get back to Washington
in time for a late supper.
Toll charges are excessive. The
motorist should be given q substan-
tial present for being able to nego-
'tiate the roads on the way to the
charged toll to pass over these same
bridges and ferries. There are three
bridges, one costing 40 cents toll and
the other two IS cents apiece. Whites
Ferry costs you 50 cents to let the
current pull you across. Counting
your constitution and toll charges. 1t
makes q fairly expensive excursion.

fine $4,000 closed car took a ditch
and scratched up the six people in

nose on a stone culvert. 1t promptly
lay down on its side in protest. and
the occupants, although unhurt. were
compelled to abandon it.

The writer and his party nearly

the car, promptly put the gear In re-
verse, thinking 1t was In low, and
gave it the gas. With q roar the car
started backward down the hill and
was only stopped within a foot of
the rather muddy and uninviting-
looking water. 1t was precisely at
that moment that every one in the
party decided that the roads were
not so bad after all.

be passable in all kinds Of weather.
The road was opened yesterday for

has not yet been raked evenly and
packed. Six five-ton trucks were put
into service during the last few
days to speed up the hauling of the
gravel and make the opening of the

victor Report Show. Banner Te.r

Publication during recent months of many accounts of failures and financial difficulties of manufacturers of taking machine products have been misinterpre- ted to Apply in some degree to the entire industry. That this is not tn fact is clearly demonstrated by a comparative balance shee showing the condition of the Victor Talking Machine company present. ed at the annual stockholders meeting, just held.
 It is interesting to note the progresl made by the Victor company during the postwar establishments period, and ths figures show that the volume of output maintained during 121 was almost iden- tical with that of 1920, which was the best previous year.
 One of the Victor officials said, Pro duction was somewhat curtaiIed in .ths summer months of 1921, but that period was followed by fall season in which demands of the trade could scarcely be met by overtime work
 Analyzing the comparative figures for the years 1919, 1920 and 1921 1t Is clear that the Victor industry is built upon . solid foundation, and that the superior products, policies and organization win result in still larger volume of bun- ness. --s Tho balance sheet, as of December S1, 1921 shows total assets and total ila- billties of s43.426.755- The total sur plus of $31.351. .o241 was an increase of $2,1s0,6s1.

MODERN EQUIPMENT Walter L. Main Circus Introduces Labor Saving DevIces

By the installation of modern labor saving devices and the use of new and up-todate equipment the Walter l.. Main circus, this season will break all records it is expected, in time required to erect and rage it's tents. The old timer who finds pleasure in watching the gangs of men drive the long stakes will rub his eyes in astonishment at the sight of a gasoline engine. fitted with miniature pile-driver, sending the stakes earthward at the speed of one minute. This same machine pulls them at night saving an hour or more of valuable time.
 Gone are the old fashioned gasoline torches In their place the Main circus has introduced it's own electric lighting plant that furnishes light not only for the "big top" but all the side shows and the show grounds as well. yet so compact is it that the entire outfit is loaded on one wagon. The wagon and equipment will be on exhibition each day near the main entrance.
 To feed the 400 employees it was found necessary to install this season an entire ly new system of cooking, and the old army range has been succeeded by steam cookers and tables With them it Is a simple matter to prepare thfee meals a day and have them ready on the dot.
 By newly patented arrangement all oL IilS piB pOiSS VI hhc tWO AeA 6SA ecAAeS are raised at one time and big spools un- roll the canvas with saving of much time and labor.
 Horses will always be a necessity around a circus, but their work has been frightened by the use of big motor trucks that haul at one time six or more of the big dens and cages to and from the circus grounds. They come in es- pecially useful when the circus arrives late.
 In fact. every device that will save time has been installed by the Main cir GUS, and 1t is well worth a visit to the show grounds on the morning Of the exhi- bition to see the way a modern circus erects it's white city and feeds it's hun dreds of employees.
 All this new equipment can be seen on circus day, Friday. May 26.
