HE eleventh National Automobile Show, under the auspices of the Association of Licensed Automo- bile Manufacturers, opened at Madison Square Garden on Satur- day night for a fortnight’s session. Following as it does the aero-auto exhibition at the Grand Central Palace, and the Auto Importers’ “Salon” at the Hotel Astor, the great Garden show fittingly com- plements what may be called an unprecedented Motor World's Fair. The variety of machines is bewildering, and the of prices—from $5,000 down — to, $500, and even | with the improved inexpensive types prom ntly in evidence—has especial interest in many bearings. The relation of the popular-priced auto to suburban development ; in itself a significant chapter. r Tubes and railways have a great deal to do with making Long land and New Jersey and Westchester County blossom with re- ieted residence parks and stately ultra-modern manors; but they are not the sole factors. It is the swift and light-running auto that has changed “two miles from nowhere” to “five-minutes from the sta- tion,” and given the real estate man a gilt-edged proposition to work on. {The result is that millions of dollars which ten years ago would Have gone into town houses and palatial private dwellings in the Park zone of Manhattan now go io the building up of country estates, ith luxurious “cottages,” “granges” and “bungalows' names belie them, as at Newport. As regards city real estate values, this is a situation where to re-| move or shift about does not necessarily mean to take away. ‘The | town house money of rich or fairly well-to-do New Yorkers is going nowadays into castle-like family hotels and vast, palatial apartment | jouses, rather than into the separate private residential “brownstone fronts” of a generation ago. It is not unheard of for a single family to.rent apartments in one of these luxurious caravansaries at $25,000 fer annum. This means emancipation from the care of organi: ng @m:elaborate city household establishment for the winter season Which is about the only period of protracted residence here. | real establishment is at the country villa, now 0 easily accessible available for all home purposes the whole year round. House par- hunts, dances, garden fetes, and all the larger social functions, can of course be managed on a more roomy and congenial scale in the country, so long as it is} no trouble for people to get there. Thus it comes about that in the domestic and social econ- omy of wealthy urbanites the town residence falls into the sub- ‘ordinate place. On a lesser scale, this same principle applies to families of moderate means, whose middle class dwellings in desirable lo- cations are rented or sold largely for professional purposes—to phy- sicians, dentists and the like. The change is profitable, health- ful and exhilarating all around, ud the automobile must be credited with having made it practicable, | + IN THE WOLF’S DEN. R. HENRY P.

If he had ridden on— It was one of the dark periods of the Revolutionary War. Gen. Gates had just been overwhelmingly defeated by the British in the South. Two French armies (allies of the patrio's) had been “bottled up,” one at New- port, one at Brest.

Benedict Arnold was tn command of all the West of Peril. Point fortifications. He was gallant, brillant, a eplendid nenenrnrrnerrr soldier, But, stung by unjust treatment and influenced probably by his pretty young Tory wife, he turned traitor and offered to sell West Point—and incidentally His country's freedom—to the British. Under promise of wealth and rank he agreed to surrender the forts after a mock defense. A British fleet was to sail up the river from New York City (the headquarters of England's power in America) and was to attack West Point. Arnold was to have a link of the huge chain remgved to make the fleet's passage easier. He was to arrange the garrison in such a way as to render capture easy. The whole bolical plan was well thought out led through a series of seemingly Important ‘ifs’ Clinton, the British commander in New York, sent one of his officere— young Major John Andre—up the Hudson on the English war sloop Vulture to meet Arnold by night at a spot in the riverside woods and make final ar- rangements, Andre was a clever man and brave, but the very worst sort of nvoy to go on so ticklish an rrand, Fro first to lac -thanks to fate and to his own blunders—he failed. And he paid with his Ife for the failure, While he and Arnold were still talking over detatls of the surrender some Patriots from the cpposite bank opened fire on the Vulture, driving the waiting war sloop down stream from her anchorage. Andre's chance of returning to New York by water was gone. This was the first of his mishaps. Clinton had ordered him to remain in uniform and to carry no papers.. (Thus in case of capture he could avoid punishment as a spy.) But Andre disobeyed both orders. He accepted from Arnold a sheaf of papers which described the fortress, garrison, &c., at West Point, and consented to carry these papers to Clinton. He also consented to put on a suit of civilian clothes belonging to Joshua Smith, a lawyer-farmer who seems to have been Arnold's partial accomplice in the pot, and to ride thus through the American ines. Arnold gave him a pass and ordered Smith (who was well known to every: ody for miles around) to accompany Andre to the British outposts north of New York City, Andre and Smith crossed to the east bank of the Hudson and ing them well.

Deceived by the sight of this coat, Andre (instead of first showing his pass) hailed the man as a fellow countryman and introduced himself as an English oMfcer. He was promptly seized and searched.

But why must all matters of public finance go to fatten the wolves fifthe den? The $53,000,000 which Mayor Gaynor proposes to give the Traction Trust is not cash money from the city’s chest, but merely so much credit against which bonds will have to be issued and fie funds borrowed just as would be the case if the Interborough went ingo the market and offered bonds of its own. The only effect is to Limit the city’s borrowing power for years and prevent another admin- istration, which by chance might prove true to its trust, from starting competing subways. ‘x The reason is clear.
