Routes for Autoists From Various Points. TAVARES, Fla, October 29.—"“For elghteen years” said W. B. Powell, secretary of the Lake County Cham- ber of Commerce, “I have been Inter- ested In good roads in Florida and leading to Florida. I have directed by letter thousands of motorists the most accessible route to the state without fear or favor. " “In one month this summer I was of as many guide books to and through Florida and all left the im- pression that if I did not contract for| as much as $150 to $500 worth of ad- vertising that my county would get is used to give stabllity and strength.

I pity those who follow the mass of misinformation coming from sources that should have the comfort and safety of the tourist at heart rather than route them via the routes that put up the dollars for advertising rather than for roads. “I have traveled the routes out of Florida. I have traveled the routes to St. Louils, to Chicago, to Wash- ington. I.have two scouts who make notation of routes as they come down and furnish me with information right off the bat.

It has been demonstrated very clearly by experi- ment, according to the United States Tire Company, that, when the temper- ature resulting from internal heat reaches 230 degrees, vulcanized rubber ceases to function as an adhesive com- pound, crumbles into minute particles, which’ fail to resume their original condition, causing the compound to- lose its functjon in the tire. This causes separation, weakne: and finally a blow-out.

There may be slight detours here and there, but at all times the general direction must be to the concentration point. Concentration points only are given in _these logues. 1 direct all people in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan to Florida via the eastern route, either starting south from Hagerstown, Md., or Washington, D. C. Washington to Richmond, 133 miles. Richmond to Durham, 175 miles (or via Raleigh) to Durham. il Durham to Charlotte, 175 miles. Charlotte to Greenville, 116 miles. Greenville to Athens, 101 miles. , Athens to Macon, 109 miles. Macon to Valdosta, 151 miles—total of 960 miles to Valdosta. From Cincinnat! the best and most | direct line of travel is via Falmouth, | Cynthia, Paris, Richmond, Mount Ver- non. Ky.; Corbin, Jacksboro, Clinton, Rockwood, Chattanooga, Rome, At- lanta to Macon, then over the main route via Valdosta into Florida. The line through southern Kentucky vie Mount Vernon and Corbin was opened September 1 and a large_celebration was held by local motgrists who or- ganized a party of several hundred ] cars to drive over the new link. From north and west the Dixie highway route concentrates »t Nash- ville, thence Shelbyville, Tuulahoms, Winchester, Cowan, Monteagle, Jas- per, Chatfanooga, Rome, Atlant: Macon, Valdosta. From north Huntsville, Gadsden, Talladega, Ope- liks, Columbus, Ga.; Richland, Daw- son, Albany, Thomasville, Valdosta (or direct to Madison, Fla., via Quit- man). 3 The second named route via Hunts- ville is 113 miles longer than the one over the mountains via Monteagle. From Valdosta to Madison, Fla., thirty miles. To Lake City, fifty-two miles. . Option of Valdosta to Lake City via Jasper, seventy miles. Lake City to Gainesville and Ocala, ninety-three miles. At Ocala you can take a fair to good road to Clearwater and St Petersburg_and Tampa. Ocala to Leesburg, thirty-six miles. to Leesburg, Fla. Leesburg is the diverging point to all points in east, west and south Florida, and many take this route to go to St. Augustine and Jacksonville, Daytona, etc. At the rest of Florida are perfect, no matter in which direction you travel. At Leesburg via Grand Island, one mile of Eustis to Umatilla, Altoona, Crows Bluff, De Land, Daytona and all east coast points. At Leesburg via ~Grai Island, Eustis, Mt. Dora for Sanford and all points north and south and to east coast via Titusville. From Eustis to Tavares and Or- lando. At Mt. Dora for Orlando via Apopka. At Leesburg via Tavares, Minneola for Orlando and all points north and south. At Leesburg via Okahumpka, Mas- cotte, Groveland for Auburndale and thence east or west and south to Tampa, St. Petersburg and Fort Myers, and entire network of south Florida and west coast roads. From Leesburg over all points fur- ther inland the roads are either sand- clay, brick or asphalt. By following these logues you will not be far wrong. The road as a whole is not perfect, yet day by day 150 cars are rolling into Florida by the Valdosta-Madison, or Valdosta- Lake City route, and within a few weeks this will be increased to 300 cars dally. The roads will be in best condition from now until 3pring thaws set in in in the states north of Florida. To avold trouble do not let garage ‘men or hotel men route you against instructions herewith given. There may be slight detours which you will have to follow, but strike out for the next concentration point. Along the lines given there is a string of garages, service stations and plenty of company along the road. , That the eastern route s fairly passable is evidenced by many mak- ing the trip in six days’ time, and one intrepid driver did the 1,200 miles in four days’ driving. The eastern route 1s practically a high-gear route from Washington to Florida as it skirts the mountains. Over the central route you cannot escape the Cumberland mountains. —_—— CHRISTIANIA ELECTIONS GIVE NO PARTY MAJORITY Impossible to Predict Who Will Form Cabinet—One Wom- an Chosen.

Davis. “The importance of the motor car the farmer is pointedly shown by the fact that the motor car registra- tion is highest in the states where the annual crop production is highest. The most productive farms have the most motor cars. The motor car has v e ness of vital necessity to the farmer,” says George W. Davis, president of the George W. Davis Motor Car Company. \ “In Iowa, for example, which ex- ceeds all other states in the annual value of its farm products, there are more motor cars owned by farmers than in any other state. Many farmers operate more than one motor car. “The motor car brings the farmer in closer touch with his market, and with his sources of supply for im- plements, household supplies and all manufactured articles. It saves time. And a saving of time between the farm and its market is an economy of inestimable advanfage. “Besides the valuabie contribution e motor car to the business of there are Its Important recreational advantages. of :i farming, social and A A A A “A Little Goes a Long Way”.
