 By JOHN A. MaCREADY When I was a young man fewer people had horses and buggies than now have automobiles. All our work and recreation was confined to a small area-bounded by the distance which we could walk. or ride in a horse and buggy, or go by trolley car and return in day.
 With the coming of automobiles cities expanded to unheard of pro- portions, and we grew accustomed to working and playing at great distances from home. Today 1t is nothing uncommon for a man to drive 20 to 30 miles to work. Week. end trips of several hundred miles are common. Our sphere of ac- tivity has expanded from five to at least 100 miles.
 Now we are entering upon new era which will further enlarge this sphere.
 Take a large city like Chicago. Aside from a few country cubs. which are now in reality city clubs -or suburban clubs, which are called country clubs--there is scarce ly room to turn around. In many other cities there are virtually no opportunities for outdoor sports. We

Lysle of Virginia, Vice President of
the Atlantic Coastal Highawy As
sociation, speak on the Military
Highway or better known as the
Atlantic Coastal Highway. The
speaker lauded Delaware for its
excellent highways through out
the entire state. The Delmarva
Peninsula of which Delaware is the
fartherest point north are making
rapid strides and building high
ways to take care of the increased
traffic due to the number of tour
lists now getting acquainted with
the system. The Peninsula Ferry
between Norfolk and Cape Charles
offers rapid service for the trans
portation of cars and trucks, this
filling a gap that caused a detour
of one hundred and thirty miles to
Philadelphia by the way of Wash
ington, D. C. Mr.. DeLysle pointed
out the valuable asset that increas-
ed travel would mean to the cities
and towns along the highway sys-
tenn. Visiting Rotarians present

Club, and Jack De Lysle of the

Tom Craig didn't come back for luncheon
He didn't come back for dinner.
And when he didn't come to the Old Home
Dining Room for breakfast, Caroline Antrim
began to take herself in hand. What did she
know about this fellow? What did she care?
Inc answer to both of these questions was
nothing. All right, then. Forget him.
Then came a telephone call. Breakfast for
room 487. And the operator said: "Mr.
Craig wishes that Miss Caroline Antrim, one
OF the mattresses of the Old Home Dining
Room, would bring up his breakfast please"

Looks like an even start" Tom grinned
at her you won't mind If dream about you
tonight, will you? I shall be back for break
fast"
Tom was whistlng as he walked out through
the lobby again. He didn't know that Caro-
line looked after him wistfully, that she was
humming little melody from song she had
heard Howard Marsh sing in Princess Favia."
That night Tom Craig dreamed of Caroline
and her sunbonnet and Aunt Hattie's farm.
The next morning he was the first down
to breakfast 1t was $40. When his break
fast was before him. and Caroline was sitting
across the table, he looked at her thoughtfully.
Il have very difficult problem to ask you
Caroline"
"Yes?"
Il wish you'd tell me what a young man
should do when he wants to spend all the time
he can with girl he was just met unconven-
tlonaly? That is, wish you'd tell me what
he can do and not be called cheap f1irt"
She laughed lightly, too lightly and started
again to draw those silly little diagrams on the
tablecloth. First, of course you ask her to
go to the theater with you"
Tom perked up at this. And you'll go with
me?'
Caroline was as innocent as you please "Oh,
no. was just giving you advice"
why wouldn't you go with me?" persisted
Tom.

Late that afternoon Tom climbed down from
the train at Cleveland. The train wheels
Squeaked against the rails just as they did
when ne was boy. The sign on the end of
the little red frame station house looked ex-
actly the same, too. But from there on Tom
began to see strange new sights
snappy yellow bus offered him free trans
portation to the Snack Shoppe Cloverland's
leading hosiery He climbed in and was
whisked through his wholly unfamiliar old home
town. 1t now seemed to be conglomerate
grouping Of gasoline stations and soda parlors
and barbecue stands, clustering alongside a
wide strip Of concrete roadway
The old-time quiet was gone Instead. there
was greedy, impudent, sophisticated air about
the place. The village of Cleveland Mad gone
tourist. The yellow bus came up in front
OF low rambling stucco building. This was
the Snack Shoppe-meals at all hours rooms
Tor tourists. good beds, and garage only so
cents
Tom went inside radio was whining out
the tunes OF the Five O'Clock Hawaiians The
hoor was smooth and hard for dancing, of
course Tom noted the fragrance of stale pop
and cigarette smoke. So this was Cloverlands
leading hosiery!
The next morning he walked out to where
Aunt Hattie had lived. It was one mile
east 1t had been quiet country road Now it
was seething motor highway with eat
shoppes, sandwich grills pop parlors, gasoline
palaces, garages, fox farms, and other modern
Improvements" thickly distributed
Aunt Hattie's old home had a big sign
Rooms Tor Tourists" across the front And
out py the road was a barbecue stand The
orchard In back of the house had been cleared
away, ana the barn was garage Tom
purchased sandwich and a cup of coffee at
the barbecue stand ate the stuff gloomily and
then started back toward the village
AT the Snack Shoppe he was hungry after
his walk. He needed food and he wanted
good food. He was in the country now, and
he intended to eat peasureably, if such thing
were possible. He found Mrs. Grover-the
girl VINO sold the pop and ice cream told him
her name that morning-and asked her about
food
Could he have fried chicken? Sorry But
they had some nice portertouse steaks. Ground
cherry preserves? No. but there would be
some hne cherry pie when the bakery wagon
from Dayton got there
He decided that he'd quit thinking about
food, and concentrate on rest 1t would be
quiet out here, surely. OF course there had
been wreck Of some sort out in front last
