l4 + Y o - PAGE SIX INTEREST IN MONTREAL- TO-MIAMI HIGHWAY Jacksonville, Fi Nov. S—Fort| Plerce will enteitzin the greatest good roads rally in the history of Florida on December 6 according to fndications observed along the route of the proposed Montreal-to-Miami highway by the scouts sent out by the speciaal committee of the board of trade. The officiaal scout car selected by the board of trade was the Cadillac machine which came thrcugh the Glidden tour from New York to Jacksonville with a perfect score and was awarded the cup for its class. The official scouts were F. 0. Miller, chairman of the good roads committee of the board of trade, and R. L. Boyd, a member of ' the special committec on the east coast rally. Cris S. Robertson, gen- eral manager for Claude Nolar, the Cadillac distributor, was tie pilot. The machine left hecre Sunday morn- ing and reached Fort Pierce at 5:20 o'clock Monday afternoon. The (lh}- tance was a fraction over 249 miles, and the actual running time was 12 hcurs and 17 minutes, making an average of 20 1-4 miles per hour over the highwey. On the arrival of the scouts at Fort Pierce they found a big good roads mass meetiing arranged at the court house. Messrs. Miller and Boyd addressed the meeting, and speeches were mide by prominent local men. A special committee of seven citizens was named to attend to the reception and entertainment of the visitors on December 6. Ear- Iy the day befere the rally a big del- ‘egation from Jacksonville will start out, picking up delegations of au- toists and good roads enthusiacts at all towns to the south, Simultan- eously a delegation from iMami will stert northward, picking up cars along the route. The two parties will meet at Fort Pierce the morn- ing of December 6. The rally will te held during the afternoon and cvening, the autoists leaving for their homes the followoing morning. The scouts met a delegation from Miami Tuesday morning, and in con- ference with the Fort Pierce com- mittee discussed details of the meet- ing. They were present at a meet- fng of the St. Lucie county commis- sioners Tuesday when a good roads Lond fssue of $200,000 was signed. The scouts report that the aver- age condition of roads is good, and that the bad places will be put in fine shapebefore the end of the month. At all the towns along the route they were met by delegations, generally headed by county officials and board of trade officers. In all sections there is the greatest inter- est in the meeting, and in the deve- lopement of roads. Chairman Mil- ler declares that there has been marked improvement in the condi- tion of the highway since the round- the-state tour in June. Early next week, Claud Nolan, who is chairman of the special com- mittee on the cast coast rally, will call a meeting of that body and pre- pare a report to the full committee on good roads. On the strength of this report final arrangements for the rally will be made. 1t is known that the rally will be attended Logan Waller Page, director of roads in the 1. 8. department of agriculture, and Secretary Elliot, of the Touring Cluh of America, two of the greatest au- _thorlll(-n on road building in the country. The main purpose of the rally is to get under way arrangements for fin- ishing the Montreal-to Miami high- way. It is practically certain that the route of the national highway will be followed from Jacksonville to New York, but from New York to Montreal the route is vet to be se- « lected. K. OF P.

For the past three weeks rain has fallen and the sun has shown but lit- tle during that time, on this side of the clouds. It was a much need- ed rain as about six weeks of drouth had left the ground very dry, orange leaves were curling and there were other evidences in the lawns and shrubs of the want for copious show- ers. They have come and all is changed. While it will cause the citrus fruit to grow, it has hindered the ripening and oranges and grape- fruit are not coloring as fast as we expected they would.

Kissimmee, Nov. 7.—A. H. De- Vane, of Birmingham, Ala. is in Kissimmee and has leased eighty acres of prairie land in Park Gar- den, just south of the city limits, Mr. DeVane together with N. F, Pat- ton, also of Birmingham, are per- fecting an aeroplane upon which they have a patent and will use the Park Gavden property as a place for trying out their invention, It is also possible that they will enter into the manufacture of the machines at this point. Mr. DeVane states that the climate conditions in this State are especlally adapted to the trying out of acroplanes. The machine de- signed by Mr. DeVane is sald to have successfully demonstrated its ability to ride the atmosphere and Kissimmee now hopes to cut some figure in the future aeroplane busi- ness, The Train Acquaintanceship. make conversation; ['ve closed the window, I've knocked your umbrella down twice just so I could hand It to you; I've offered you a time table, a fan, and assisted you with your sulit- case, but to no avall.

Since then I have been pestered with silly letters, nonsensical postcards and impossible souvenirs, so I repeat, kindly consider this conversation at an end.” “By George! I won't,” declared Chester, becoming more and more in- terested In the girl. “Well, of course,-if you wish to talk WILL TEST AUTO LAW. Tampa, Fla, Nov. 8.—At yester- day's meeting of the Board of County Commissioners it was decided to join hands with the commissioners of Duval county in making an appeal to the State Supreme Court, returnable November 14, as to whether the law passed by the recent Legislature placing a license tax on both pub- lic and private automobiles is con- stitutional. Judge BullocK, in Ocala, scme time ago, decided that the law was not constitutional, but it is de- sired to hear from the Supreme court. At the last meeting of the com- missioners of this county, Attorney John P. Wall advised the board that they had no right to decide on the constitutionality of the law, and that the only thing to do was to go ahead and enforce it until a decision was rendered. Learning, however, siiice then that the Duval commissioners intend appealing, Mr. Wall has ad- vised the board and County Tax Collector John L. Branch to hold up the enforcement of the law until the Supreme Court can be heard from, thus saving the county money which would be spent in litigation - should defendants tried in Criminal Court charged with violating the law de- cide to fight the enforcement of the law. County Attorney Wall Dbelieves that the law is constitutional, and will be associated with the attorneys for the Duval commissioners in the case. to desist,” stated Peggy friendly. “But lady traveling alone.” embarrassing silence, then Peggy moodily out of the window.

ONE-PIECE STREET DRESSES Many Materials in Favor for Autumn— Slashed Skirt Firmly Estab- lished in Parls. Navy blue silk serge, surah silk or French serge are the materials for ! the smart one-plece street dresses of autumn. Their neatness and the sense of security enjoyed in the wearing recommend them to the outof-door girl. The waist line remains slightly ralsed, with a narrow belt of the ma- terlal of the dress securing the skirt to the blouse. A long, straight tunic reaching al- most to the bottom of the skirt is & tashionable development of both the one-plece dress and the suit skirt. One of the most popular cuts of the autumn is the slashed skirt, already firmly es- tablished in Parls. Most of the models show the slash extendin3 only slight- Jy above the threednch hem. If & loa er slash is used it extends to the knee In Directoire fashion and is filled fn with a pleated drop of silk in 8 contrasting shade. The fashionable autumn sleeve ends half way between the wrist and the elbow. It has a sixinch glaring cuff, slightly stiffened, and is enhanced by an undersleeve of all-over lace or net finished with a frill of lace. The Directoire period is still no- ticeable in wide revers, cut away ef- fects In tallored coats and straight narrow silhouettes, and though rumor declares for fuller skirts, smaller waist lines and puffs at the elbows, tashion will not carry out the predic- tion for some time to come because of the universally becoming effect of present makes. Separate Blouses. Both the peasant and the setn sleeve are used this year, with per . haps tho preference given to the peas- ant type in the modified form, says Harper's Bazar, In some cases the yoke extends over the shoulder to the cufft. Again the sleeve preserves the kimono outline, but is cut separately and set on with cording of satin or chiffon below the low shoulder line. If the full-length sleeve is used, the long line is broken by a cuff, from four to six Inches in depth, set on to the close-fitting upper portion. |olbow or even below it, ending in a For the Hair. Quite new are embroidered band- eaux for the hair-—to be worn in pre- cisely the same way that girls have been wearing the dainty silken and satin ribbon bands. One may choose black velvet em- broidering it in opalescent shades. Or, it might be embroidered in a shade to match the gown with which the wear- er intends using it. As the silk s quite beavy the embroidery may be done quite simply—without padding.
