GIVES LATEST HIGHWAY REPORTS
Guidance for an Early Sunday Morning
Start Furnished by Motor Asso-

With the coming of spring, thoughts
Of automobile owners turn easily and
promptly to touring, and then comes
the inevitable question, 'How's the
road to -"
For the benefit of the motorist-
readers of this paper arrangements
have been completed with the Ma
tional Motorists Association to print
each Sunday a summary of route con-
ditions to all popular motoring objec-
tives SO that guidance will be avail
able for an early morning start.
This information will be compiled
at the very last moment before going
to press, and will be cleared through
this paper by the y. NJ. A. through
the cooperation of its affiliated clubs
in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlantic
City. New York and other points.
Dirt roads on the unconVentional
highways surrounding Washington
are not advisable on account of re
cent rains. All automobile readers,
therefore, are advised to adhere to
the main or improved routes wherever
possible for their week end tours
The condition of main routes radl-
ating from the District. as compiled
by late reports received by the Ma
tional Motorists Association, are as
follows:
North and East Reports.
Washington and Philadelphia and
New York: Two routes are recon-
mended to Philadelphia, one via Bal
timore and Conowingo bridge, ana
the other via Baltimore and Whining
ton. Both are in good condition, the
only detour consisting of few blocks
entering Baltimore, which is over
macadam and asphalt streets. Follow
n. NJ. A. Maryland Club signs at
Union avenue Cat gasoline station),
thence turning right on wilkins ave
nue. and left on Fulton and Monroe
streets The Lincoln Highway from
Philadelphia to New York is in good
condition throughout, with three
small detours in New Jersey. one at
New Brunswick over local streets
also a short detour in Highland Park
which is well marked and in excellent
condition. also a short detour Just
south Of Metuchen which is well
marked around new construction.
Washington to, Gettysburg, via
Rockville and Frederick: Macadan
and concrete in good condition. THIS
road while narrow, is to be widened
with concrete berms in Maryland, but
construction work will not obstruct
traffic.
Washington to Baltimore via OIney:
In fair to good condition throughout
no detours. This offers an alternate
but longer route to Baltimore. Con
ditions not quite as good as the bouie-
ward route.
Washington to Annapolis via Upper
Marlboro: Excellent road to Upper

dition only.
Washington to Solomons: Good
road throughout. Nearly all macadam.

Marked plainly on a neat little card
resting against the glistening new
oar In the salesroom are these words:
Price delivered"
What do they really mean? Are
they an accurate index of the actual
cost of that make of car to the vari-
Gus motorists who Will buy 1t?
In sporting his new car the motor
lat Is bound to be asked. How mu, h
did it cost you?" He invariably thinks
in terms of the amount of the check
paid to the dealer. and. in reciting 1t
for the benefit OF the ncighbors, comes
to believe that price is equivalent to
cost. Amy wise car owner. when ask
ed such question. would reply.
Cant answer that query until l have
used the car and completed its his
tory by trading it in for new one at
market value
Such remarks are not made because
the business of owning a car is still
80 youthful that very few motorists
realize how much their cars actually
cost them. They think that the fig
ures on the price tags represent the
cost. and so seldom come to know
that the cost of car varies widely,
depending largely upon who owns it.
How to Find Real Cost.
The real cost of the car is deter
mined by it's depreciation and the cost
of reconditioning occasioned by neg
lect and inefficiency of the car itself.
The difference between the price of
the car and its cost. assuming that
price Is greater. represents invest
ment. 1t natures" later on. either in
the form of the cash sale of the old
car or an allowance on 1t in trade for
a new one. Just what these figures
will amount to at the time of pur-
chase of the first car cannot be deter
mined, because. irrespective of the
reputation and the used car market
rating, the personal element is in
volved. The whole question resolves
itself into the cost per mile" which
in the final analysis is the real cost
consideration.
Right at this point it is we'll to
get straight on the matter of cost
in it's relation to depreciation. 1t has
been argued that il a car owner takes
A depreciation of $4,000 on his first
only $4,000. or $4,000 for two $4,000
cars. This is a fallacy. because he
does not know what the second car
will cost until he has used il and
disposed of it. No matter how long
a car is in use il must have some
value when the owner comes to dis
pose of it. and the cost may mount
while depreciation increases or it
may lower. Mileage is the uetermin-
ing factor
For instance, car owner sold a
$4,000 machine for $1,000 after driv-
ing it 5000 miles. The deprecia-
ton was $1,000. while the cost
other motorist paid the same for his
car, drove it 10000 miles. spent $500
for repainting and overhaulin neces-
eary to prolong it's usefulness, and

sold it for $500. The depreciation
was, therefore. $4,000. the recon-
ditioning $500. while the actual cost
amounted to $2,700, or 81 cents per
mile. The actual and radical Varia-
tion in the mile cost" Of the same
make of car when in the hands OF
different owners proves the fallacy
of assuming that the price of a car
represents it's cost $
Where the car is reliable and the
owner is average in his method of
using the car the actual cost Of a
car is invariably less than the price.
because it invariably has resale
value in excess of the cost of re-
conditioning it for sale.
But 1t is the very doubt about the
amount of the resale value that
makes the actual cost of car more
or less of an unknown quantity. And
then. If the motorist happens to be
an incompetent buyer either in the
purchasing of a new car or a used
one, it may mean that the cost will
exceed the price. Many a motorist
has spent more on reconditioning,
repainting and one thing or other
than he received for the car in traue
or outright sale.
OdOmeter shows Real Cost.
Again the matter of mileage is the
important point. Take a $1,000 car
dilu presume llldl dIleT spending S0pu
on reconditioning the owner sells it
at the end of four years service. We
say that the depreciation was 1,50O
and the $4,000. which in this case
equals equal the PRICE; But But what OF the
complete until the mileage on the
odometer is considered.
Granting mileage of 10000 it is
seen that his car has cost him Sc
cents per mile, which is lower than

j had sold his car for $500 after spend
ing $500 reconditioning 1t in the

would look upon his motoring as be-
| ing extraordinarily extravagant.
whereas it is just about average.
| On the other hand. when the buyer

conditioning and disposes of it at

true car cost.

your car costs is to consider costs
