For the benefit of Washington tour
lists who are contemplating trips
through New York city to the north
ern resorts the American Automobile
Association, through the touring bu-
reau of the metropolitan division. has
made a careful survey Of road condi-
hons in that section. The following
is the result of this survey:
The Boston Post road between
Port Chester and Bridgeport is
rutted and in poor condition, and al
!. though it is not impossible, it would
lie advisable for motorists to avoid
this road on Saturdays or sundays
when traffic is at its height On week
days one can get through with little
difficulty. The road from Bridgeport
to New Haven IS in excellent condi-
ton; east of New Haven the road is
being reconstructed between Guilford
and Brandford by the state highway
passable. Motorists desiring to go to
New London, Nara eansett. Newport
or Fail River. should go from New
Haven via Middletown avenue to
Middletown and Marlboro. thence via
the new concrete road directly into
New London. The roads east of New
London are in good condition.

through Hartford. East Hartford and
Worcester there are three or four
miles of construction work under
way on one side of the road and road
traffic can get through with consid-
".able delay to Worcester, Boston and
Lowell.
The best route to Pittsfeld and
North Adams is via White Plains,
Armonk, Bedford. Brewster, Pawling,
Dover. Armenia. Sharon, Canaan,
Great Darlington and LenoX. Between
Pawling and Dover the road is being
~fuened and motorists should pro-
coed with caution between these
points. This road north of Armenia
is in exceptionally good condition and
the Mohawk Trail between North
Adams and Greenfield is also in very
good condition.
Due to four-mile detour in Cen
trail avenue. the best route to White
Plains at the present time is via the
Grand Concourse. across Mosholu
Parkway to new Bronx River Park
way direct to Mount Vernon; thence
across Mount Vernon avenue, turning

onto West Lincoln avenue. which
leads into the White Plains post road.

The roads in New York state are
III fairly good condition. On the east
side of the Hudson river through
Tarrytown, Poughkeepsie and Hud-
son to Albany the road is good On
the west side of the river there are
three short detours. one just beyond

EMPEROR SIMMONS
DELIVERS ADDRESS
BEFORE KAMEL|AS
Says Fate Of American Civil
ization Rests On Ma
tons Homes

That the fate of American civiliza-
ton rested on the American homo
was the keynote sounded by Emperor
Simmons of the Ku Klux Khan, in an
address to the knights of Kamelia at
the city hall Friday night. Emperor
Simmons came into Birming CHAM
quietly Friday evening and a S quietly
departed, leaving for Atlanta at 1905
Saturday morning. He was accom-
panied by Judge II. T. Knight of
Atlanta, national secretary of the
Kamelias, who also addressed the
meeting.
Barely rs women heard the emper-
er's stirring address, his visit to Bir-
mingham being announced. For
many years. Colonel Simmons said,
he had dreamed of a woman's organ
ization parallel to the knights of
the Ku Klux Khan, Incorporating the
same spiritual purpose of the khan.
The kamelias were the result, he
said.
The American home must be the
sehooihouse of American principles
and it must be the American women
who inculcate the great principles of
Americanism in the minds of men,,
women of Birmingham were told
foreign influence, which, he said.
tended to wipe out the influence of
the home, was heavily scored.
He cautioned women not to falter
in their services to Christianity. Our
civilization" the Colonel said. lis
Christian civilization, and founded on
the four great principles of Christ,
country, home and fellowship. De-
spite the SCOTS of the anti-Christs,
the skeptics and agnostics, Chris
tianity has given the world the great
est civilization of history.
God intended woman to be queen
of the home, and the fate of Amer
lean civilization rests on the home.
Greater than all armies and COM
bined wealth is the mother in the
American home and | know the flam-
ing cross and the starry flag shall
never fail while in the grasp of
American womannood."
The emperor's speech was received
with prolonged applause.
Judge H. r. Right, national sec
rotary of the Kamelias, followed Col.
simmons. He outlined the progress
OF the Kamelia, saying barely two
months had elapsed since the
eInperor's proclamation announcing
the formation of the Kamelia, and
Already more than $4,000 members
were enrolled. Judge Kight told Of
their tour through the middle west
ern states, and spoke particularly of
Kansas City, where more than $4,000
women assembled to learn of the
Kamelia.
DR.. C. A. Ridley. imperial chaplain
of the khan, was to have spoken in
Birmingham Friday night but suf-
ferred injuries in Little Rock and
was compelled to return to Atlanta.
Judge Right announced he would
again address the Kamelias of Bir-
mi n cham early in June.
