Three Ways 10 Go
To Florida Given
Motorists
,Thousond-MiIe Trip Can
BE Interesting and Full
OF Variations
By RALPH GRAY.

Touring Counsellor. American Automobile
Association.
From now until April the Wash
ington motorist who finds himself
with a week or more of vacation
time on his hands will turn in
Thought to Florida. He will see the
bright sunlight, the miles of yellow
beaches, the white foamy breakers
limiting OF cool recreation. He will
Zee orange blossom covered hills,
thousand circular lakes, immense
and beautiful springs, wild swamp
life, perfect formal gardens, the
eountry's most famous singing tower
Ind the worlds largest aquarium.
But separating him from his
dreams Of elysian ease on Florida
beach he sees stretching more than
900 miles of what he thinks will be
hard, monotonous driving. He be-
gins to wonder if, after all, Florida is
worth it.
There is only one answer to that:
It is. True, Miami is 1,126 miles
away, but the trip is not particularly
hard, and need not be monotonous.
summertime construction jobs
throughout the South are complet-
ed, and the roads are generally in
unprecedented good shape. On top
OF that, there are at least three al
together different routes to Florida:
one need not travel the same route
both ways to be on a good, interest,"
ing road. These three routes are,
-
through Richmond and Petersburg,
then through either Raleigh or.
Florence to Savannah and Jackson
vile and Miami, CD the coastal
route, U. S. No. II, commonly called
the Tidewater trail, through Nor
folk, Wilmington and Charleston
' and CD the more westerly U. s. No.
route. through Raleigh, Columbia
and Waycross.
Central Route Shortest.
Let us examine these routes. The
FIRST one is shorter by 80 miles than
any rival route whatever, and it has
possibly the best roadbed and sur
facing. It is without question the
fastest route; Miami may be made
on it in three easy driving days. On
the other hand, being the shortest
route, It is most heavily Travelled.
Trucks use this route more than any
other.
The second route, along the ocean,
Is about 100 miles longer than the
inland trail. Its compensation for
the motorist lies in the fact that it
is less travelled and goes through
open, fiat country with few towns
and great stretches of straight, fast
road. Also the Tidewater trail is
possibly more interesting than the
= inland road, but it is moot ques-
ton.
The third route is So miles longer
than the first, 48 miles shorter than
the second. It has one distinct ad-
vantage over all other routes; being
older, longer established, it has bet
ter and more abundant accommoda-
tons. There are more large towns
and cities with good hotels. and most
important, they are conveniently
placed. On the first two routes, when
your speedometer registers 300 to 400
miles, and you are ready to call it

You enter Georgia on . series Of
causeways and bridges across the
Savannah River, where rice Is grown
commercially. The city Of Savannah
is an interesting bundle Of histor-
ical facts, but the most important
thing as far as the casual traveller
Is concerned is the number of pub
lie squares lying athwart the main
street. The highway goes around
each one. Savannah, like so many
cities which are really distinctive,
offers little to the man who stops
but for an hour. The wonders Of
these Southern cities are quietly
hidden and must be dug out, busted
of and shaken from their reticence
"a far cry, for instance, from New
York City, which bellows its unique
ness from the moment you arrive.
A red flag to Georgia motorists is

live stock to roam at will over high

constitute real danger and should
not be lightly regarded, especially
at night.
At Brunswick you are getting into
the vacation South. Sea Island

sort In the Sea Islands, that vast
chain Of islands strung like pearls
on the proud bosom of Carolina and
Georgia. The poet, Sydney Lanier,
lived here and wrote his matchless
lyrics of the marshes, the live oaks
and the dark moving waters of the
coastlands.
A few miles brings you to the St.
Marys River, where an arch pro-
claims Florida. There is no magical
change right away, but gradually,
as you leave Jacksonville behind and
gain the beach at st. Augustine,
the lure Of the real Florida asserts
itself.
The Coastal Route.
The coastal route (Norfolk, Will
mington. CharleSton)-In Virginia
this route takes you through Fred
ericksburg, Yorktown, within strik-
ing distance Of Williamsburg and into
the great seaport area of Hampton
Roads. South of Norfolk your road
parallels the Dismal Swamp Canal
across the very heart of the great
Dismal Swamp. George Washington
surveyed the original canal. Where
the feeder canal from Lake Drum
mond comes into the ship canal lies
one Of the rarest views in Virginia.
A strange thing about Dismal
Swamp is that forest fires are a
menace.

Compromise Looms
On Reorganization
In Next Congress
Economy Pledge May Be
Inserted to PIocu;e
Foes 6f Former Bill

~ the Associated Press.
There were new indications today
that friends and foes of the admin
istration's Government reorganiza-
ton bill might try to work out
compromise measure in the next
session of Congress.
Interested administration officials
said they were hopeful some new
program could be devised to elm
mate objections which sent the bill
to a house pigeon-hole last spring.
Among other things. they said,
1t might be possible to insert a
definite pledge of economy-a pledge
which opposition Senators de-
manded but failed to exact.
Minimum Demands.
Opponents of the bill. who gen.
orally have favored Government
reorganization in principle, said they
had certain minimum demands be-
fore any compromise could be
reached.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan predicted that Congress
never would consent to provisions OF
the administration measure which
would abolish the Office of Control
Ter General and replace the present
bipartisan Civil Service Commission
with a single administrator.
Mr.. Vandenberg said there also
would be insistence that Congress
be given some check over the pro-
posed presidential authority to re-
shuttle bureaus.
Reorganization should be prun-
ing of the governmental tree he
said. "It should not bring a great
Towering of new functions and new
agencies"
"Worst Features Hit"
The original administration mea-
sure provided for the creation OF
two new departments-social well
fare and public works.
Mr.. Vandenberg asserted there
easily could be a compromise if the
worst features" of the admins
tration bill were eliminated.
Some Government officials study
ing the reorganization problem ex-
pressed agreement with suggestion
by Representative Mead, Democrat,
of New York, a Senator-elect, that
the various proposals in the orig
inal bill be offered as separate meas
ureS.
President Roosevelt has held sew
eral conferences on the reorganiza-
ton problem during the last few
months, but has not yet adopted
specific plans. Informed persons
generally predicted, however, that
he would outline some program in
his message to the new Congress.
