EvERY day from 4:30 to 6 they may
be seen parading around behind
q counter somewhat remindful Of
but many times larger than the kind
used by bank tellers. except that
there's no barred cage. They hand
out untold numbers of maps dealing
with every section of the country.
Telephone calls alone average 300
day. These are handled from an
enormous switchboard situated at q
large table in the approximate center
Of the room.
However, the major job of these
capable youngsters is to teach Mr..
Average Washingtonian Motorist to
become road map conscious; in
other words, to route the local trav-
eler along the most desirable motor
journeys.
As Is well known, the big automo-
bile touring season starts the first of
May and winds up the last of Sep
tember. During the season recently
ended, Douglas says, his boys actually
put out over the counter, on member
requests, 40,914 marked routings or
planned trips. For the same period
of 1885, they issued 33,734, so that
this year there was an increase of
over 1000. The figure for 1894 was
28,574 and 27,457 for 1888.
Thus motor travelling out Of Wash.
ington has been steadily on the in
crease during the past three years,
according to actual statistics.

reau gathered the following interest,"

yITH as much zeal as they
M demonstrated in earning
" the party's victory on No
vember 8, Washington's
Young Democrats are planning to cele-
brate it on November 10.
The celebration, to take the form Of
Victory Ball, is a completely nom
partisan affair The youngest and
most embittered young Republican or
the most disappointed Communist can
attend with the unabridged privilege
of rubbing shoulders with the oldest
and most important Democrat-or he
may even step on the latter's toes If
he thinks he can get away with 1t.
The Young Democrats, on gayety
bent, do not care. Theirs at the mo-
ment is the task of making the Victory
ball the largest and gayest social event
of the preinaugural period. Admit
ting that there probably are more than
enough Democrats In Washington and
its suburbs to make stable get
together without the assistance of
n-partyites, sponsors Of the ball will
take $3.50 as happily from political
strangers as from friends. In one
way, they would rather.
While the primary purpose Of the
Victory Ball is pleasantly altruistic and
one Of the incidental purposes splen-
didly so, the Ball Committee admits
that all Is not altriusm behind the
plans for November 10.
THE Young Democrats want to
dance for Joy, but they also want
money for the Community Chest and
for their own treasury. Campaigns
such as that which ended November 8
are expensive The coming Of peace
and what looks like political plenty has
left the clubs war chest depleted. It
is out, therefore, to dance for dollars
as well as for the sheer Joy of dancing.
Despite the fact that there are
many notable gaps In the guest list
to date, sponsors of the Victory Ball
are confident of one of the best big
name turn-outs in the present ad-
ministrations three and one-half year
history. Acceptances from prominent
party members coming In daily hint,
they say, of continued existence Of
the spirit of celebration which marked
the Presidents homecoming reception
on November 6. It was the festive
Joy Of that event. indeed, which stin-
ulated the original interest In the
Victory Ball.

These figures demand q bit OF ex.
PLANTATION, Douglas says. OF course,
the nearby States referred to are Vir-
ginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
As might well be expected, Virginia Is
the most travelled of all, because Of
the tremendous interest taken by mo-
torists everywhere in Skyline Drive
and the new Shenandoah National
Park.
NEXT in popularity to these sections
: is Colonial Virginia, notably York
town, jamestown and Williamsburg.
Then come the beach resorts around
Norfolk, especially Virginia Beach.
In Maryland the most Travelled
spots are the region along Chesapeake
Bay. the beach resorts, particularly
Ocean City and those in the neigh
borhood Of Annapolis, and the va.
rious mountain areas, notably around
Cumberland.
In Pennsylvania. the mountain re-

HROBABLY you have never
- heard of Messrs. jenkins,
Douglas. Cullen. Jameson and
L Scott of the American Auto
mobile Association. Even so, every
Washington motorist should make a
special point of meeting these worthy
gentlemen. Friends refer to them as
the "quintuplets of local motordom." a"
And for an excellent reason. Put
them all together and they spell
highway knowledge" with special
emphasis on comfort and convenience
in the interests Of those who love to
zoom along the broad highway in
search of fun and recreation.
In his capacity as chief of the
National Travel Bureau, Elmer
Jenkins probably knows more about
roadway conditions throughout the
country than any other man; H. j.
Douglas of the District of Columbia
section of the travel bureau stands
alone as an expert in lining up pleasant
motor trips anywhere in the United
States, Canada or Mexico; r. W..
Cullen, chief of the cartograph de-
partment, is Americas most capable
designer Of road maps; David F.
Jameson is his able assistant; whereas
James T. Scott has few peers in the
matter Of keeping the Nations motor
lists informed regarding detours, re-
pair jobs and changing roadway con-
ditions caused by floods or storms.
JENKINS, a quiet. unassuming chap
with truly delightful personality.
is forever dashing all over the Nation
on behalf Of better motoring. One
week he may be addressing the
Chamber Of Commerce of Salt Lake
City on the subject of safer driving,
next week he'll be looking into high
way improvements in California,
whereas a scant fortnight later he
may be in Boston, talking over plans
for a more up-to-date highway map
Of the Bay State with executives of
the local motor club.
This genial chap is busy. But never
too much so to discuss his favorite
subject, better roads. He's veritable
walking encyclopedias when 1t comes
to almost any subject relating to the
interests Of Mr.. Average American
Motorist. Jenkins has been with the
Three AS about 10 years. Prior to
his present afilliation he was a sue
cessful map publisher in Rochester,
N. Y.
Douglas, long. lean and lanky, with
shock Of unruly black hair, is ex-
ceedingly popular among his associates
because Of his never-failing courtesy.
He doesn't work directly under Mr..
Jenkins. However, this recent graduate
Of George Washington University is
just about as efficient in his special
type of work as is the older executive.
In fact, his service to District motorists
is almost as important as Is the work
Of Jenkins on behalf of the Nations
automobile travellers. For young
Doug" as this youthful executive of
the travel bureau Is known among his
close associates, serves as chief of the
travel counselors, District Of Columbia
unit of the A. A. A.
Working under him are 10 we'll

are college graduates. You certainly
