 Mrs. Astor drove out to call on other members of New Works ''400" in a 'silent' victoria with livericd attendants on the box. It was re- ported that "her carriage had none of the objectionable buzz so ire Quently heard in autos.'
 Soon afterwards Newport had it's first automobile parade. which was sponsored by Mrs. 0. II. r. Bel mont Before the start of the pa rade there was competitive test of skill in manipulating the autos.
 A highway was marked off on the lawn of the Belmont estate and filled with obstacles such as baby carriages with dummy nurses push ing them, clay figures of children playing in the street and wooden horses attached to road traps.

an offer which might have an important

A copy of the letter was sent to the
Army Press, for distribution as sup

The story in the Express followed an
