100000 AUTOS
F0RESEEN IN i. S.
Driving Will Be Easier and
Roads Better Than Now,
Horton Declares.

Pointing to the fact that the auto
mobile increases in popularity in de
rect proportion to the increase in the
number of cars operated, Capt. Harry
NJ. Horton. local Duesenberg dealer.
declares that when there are 10000. 900
cars in operation there should be an
entirely new demand for cars, which
may increase the domestic registra-
tions to 30,000,000.
Reports from the Connecticut high
way department show, for example,
that the cost of constructing concrete
roads has increased about $50 per
cent within the last ten years, which
means, he says, that if the automobile
had not increased in popularity the
present amount of roadbuilding would
have been impossible.
Our good roads are the result of
the great increase in the number Of
cars, Capt. Horton said. And il is
safe to predict from this that the
more cars We have the greater will
be the interest in motoring. Ten
years ago one could not grow very
enthusiastic over motoring because Of
the limitations placed on 1t through
the lack of good roads
To-day the motorist finds objec-
tions to his motoring which will be
eliminated as more cars are pressed
into service. The automobile driver.
for example, has complained constant
ly because of the great variation in
automobile laws and regulations
which make him law abiding citizen
in one locality and a yiolator in
another. When there are 100000

IN. NJ. A. TO MEET
HERE NEXT WEEK
Many Questions for Good of
Auto World Will Be Taken
Up at Session.

What is predicted to be meeting OF
far-reaching Importance to the motor
car owners of the United States will be
held in the National Capital when the
officers and directors of the National
Motorists Association assemble here In
annual convention November 16-17
This is to be the first gathering OF
the forces Of the young giant of the
motoring world which was formed In
Chicago a little more than year age
with few scattered affiliations and has
since grown into huge national auto
mobile organization with nearly 35C
strong motor clubs within its roid.
1t is expected that delegates repre-
senting virtually every section of the
country will be in attendance, since
there will be taken up matters of vital
concern to car owners everywhere in
the United States.
Auto Wonder Story.
The story of the formation, growth
and the achievements of the National
Motorists Association is one of the
wonder stories of the motor world
Founded in faith, backed by enthusiasm
and promoted with earnestness and sin
cerity this young leviathan of automo-
biiedom reaches its first annual conven-
tion the largest motoring organization
In the world.
Already enrolled under the banner OF
the National Motorists Association are
most of the large state motoring or
ganizations of the country and many
of the individual clubs located in the
larger cities of the land. Hardly a
week passes that does not bring an :
other large or small affiliation, and
scarcely a day goes by that does not
find the National Motorists Association
engaged in waging a fight for the bet
terment of the conditions surrounding
the ownership and operation of motor
vehicles
With national headquarters located
here in Washington, the National Mo-
torists' Association already has well
laid plans to become active before the
next session of Congress in the interests
of the nearly 100000 car owners il rep
resents.
Some of the subjects for discussion
in the forthcoming convention are:

subject, and the elimination of this

THE lower cost of cars and their
upkeep, due to the increase in the
use Of cars. is. OF course, evident in
all grades Of machines. 1t presages
the time when everything will be
even more favorable to motoring, for
10000, 900 car owners are always more

own favor than 10.000,00

TRAFFIC cops IRE.

Starting to cross street when the
stop" sign is turned against you
need not be embarrassing. Make a
right or left hand turn promptly
when the mistake is discovered.
EYen II such a turn does not en-
tireIy satisfy the guardian of the
crossway. he Is much less likely to
bawl you out, for passing the stop
sign Is a cardinal sin in city driving
and few cops will excuse you for it.

GOING THROUGH MUD.

Failure to get through a flooded
section Of roadway is often due tc
lack of proper traction. which, in
turn, is due to lack of weight in the
rear of the car. The same applies tc
getting stuck in the mud or deer
snow. Tie more weight there is or
the rear .wheels the less they are
likely to spin. When attempting to
pass through a bad spot in the road
it is worth while to load up the back
of the car with rocks and have the
other passenger sit back there while
you drive.
