yee Lae re «| A Motor Tour Through the Home >“. City of the Future President A very interesting tour which in- eludes good roads and delightful scenery can be taken over the Old National Trail through Ohio, pass- ing the homes of the future Presi- dent, Dayton, Ohio, the home of the Democratic candidate Gov. Cox, and Marion the home of Warren G. Hard- ing the Republican candidate. The, following data is compiled by the Bu- Tehu of Tours of the Automobile Club of Ameriac. Leaving New York the ferry ts €rossed to Weehawken or Jersey City, then down the Hudson County Boulevard and over the plank road to Newark, From Newark itsis pref- erable to follow Elizabeth Avenue to Elizabeth, thence through Westfleld Avenue, Cherry Street, and St. rges Avenue, through Rahway to the overhead railroad crossing, where @ right turn is made onto a brick followed to Metuchen ew Brunswick. At the Present time there ts a very poor sec- tion between Metuchen and New Brunswick, and a great many motor- ists are running from Elizabeth to Plainfield and Bound Brook, then over the river road to New Bruns- wick. On leaving NewBrunswick go South on George Street, turning right into Commercial Street and left into Cransberry Turnpike which is fol- Towed to the Penn's Neck Road which fs just beyond Cranbury where a. right turn is made and followed through Penn's Neck to the Old Tren- ton Turnpike, then on through Tren- ton, Langhorne, and Bustleton to Philadelphia, 100 miles from New York. From Philadetphia go West on Walnut Street, turn right into 62a Street and about half a mile be- yond turn left Into the Lancaster Turnpike ‘which ts folléwed through Bryn Mawr where Bryn Mawr Col- lege 1s located for girls, then on through Coatesville, Lancaster, and York to Gettysburg, where an inter- esting side trip may be made through the battlefield. On leaving Gettys- burg it ts preferable to deviate from the map and run due South to F’ erick over a good macadam where the Old National Trall Joined. A great many motorists pre- fer the Baltimore Turnpike which runs through Kennett Square and Rising Sun to Baltimore, There is n’ Mort: detour at Risig Sun at the pre time. Still another ood nt route is from Wilmington, Deleware through Newark ‘and Elkton to Bal- timore, then over the Old Natlonal Trail to Frederick. There 1s also an 3 road from Washington to y The to Frederick New York can be made consid- shorter over a better percen- of good rodds by going throu forristown and over Schooley’s Mountain to Hackettstown, then through Bridgeville to Belvidere and down along the Deleware River to Phillipsburg, then through Easton und over the William Penn Highway through Allentown, Reading, Harris- burg Gettysburg to Frederick From derick run through Harers- town, where a good, hard surfaced road begins to ascend over the AJle- gheny Mountains and {s one continu- ous panorama of beautiful views and rugged scenery, through Cumberland to niontown, where there ts excel- el accomodations for either ‘ht's stop, From lent hi a lunoheon or a n T e Truck Uniontown, the road is continued through Washington, Pa. crossing the State line just beyond Into West Virginia to Wheeling, where the Oblo River is crossed into Ohlo—the State made famous, by the nomination of Senater Harding and Gov. Cox on both the Republican and Democratic tickets. From Wheeling through Cambridge and Zanesville—to Co- lumbus the road passes through pas: toral scenery and some of Ohi most fertile farm lands, From Co- lumbus, the capital city,.a side trip | can be made to Marion, the home of Senator Harding, by running due North through Worthington, Lewis | City, Delaware and Prospect, or an alternate road can be taken from Delaware through Norton and Wal- do to Marion. If the mortorist wish- es to return over a different route, from Marion continue North through Bacyrus and Attica to the trunk line between Norwalk and Harmony, which name is applicable to both parties at the present time, to Springfield, then South through Fair- field to Dayton, the home of Gov. Cox. If the motorist wishes to ex- tend the tour to Chicago, the route can be continued from Dayton to Indianapolis and Lafayette, or a side trip can be made from Dayton to Cin- cinnat!. Excellent hotel accomoda- tions can be obtained at Newark, Philadelphia, Lancaster, York, Union+ town, Wheeling, Zanesville, Colum- bus, Springfield, Dayton Cincinnati, Indianapolis Lafayette, and of course, Chicago. The return route can be made by running from Chicago thfough South Bend to Toledo, tnen through Cleve- land, Erie, Buffalo, Syracuse, Ution and Albany, returning to New York on either side of the Hudson River, both of which are good. Or the route can be reversed by leaving New York via the 130 Street Ferry and running through Hackensack, Suffern and Tuxedo to Newburgh, thence through Highland to Kingston and along the west side of the Hudson to Albany. From Albany, the Mohawk Valley ts followed through Schenectady, Am- sterdam, Utica, Syracuse and Geneva to Buffala, or an excellent alternate route’ can be made from Geneva to Rochester and Niagara Kaits, then to Buffalo, Motorists can place their car on board a boat at Buffalo one hour before sailing time, whioh is 7.80 Standard Time, and go to either Cleveland, Toledo or Detrolt, and mo- tor from there on to Chicago, Or if the entire trip is made by motor, the Lake Shore route can be used with unsatisfactory conditions between Silver Creek and Westfleld, and a hort stretch of poor road between Brie and Ashtabula. If the motorist wishes to go through Marion, there is a good road between Norwalk and Bellevue which runs due South through Bucyrus to Marion, then on to Columbus, If the boat Is taken to Detroit, it is preferable to run South through Monroe to Toledo, then West through South Bend to Chicago, as the roads are in somewhat poor con- dition between Ypsilant! and Jack- son on the Detroit Kalamazoo route. The distance between New York and Chicago via the@Old National Trail and Indianapolis its 960 miles, and the distance via Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo to Chicago is 1,045 miles. The road condition is about the same elther way—175 per cent, good Sensation ‘The uew Stewart One Ton Truck— electric ignition, ‘The ree! event of the Delivery ts, electric starter, magneto cord tires. in BUILT IN FOLLOWING CAPACITIZS: Y\-Tom, 1-Tom, 114-Ton, 2-Tom, 2}-Tom, 3%-Ten Herrman Motor Truck Co., Inc. 607-615 W. 57th St., N.

REPORTS ON ROAD CONDITIONS Now that the touring season is on in earnest it fs imperative for moat motor- jatn to learn something about presen Toad conditions before they start on Jong vacation motor rambles, As ap inkling of what to expect in| th matter of road conditions, the Touring Bureau of the American Auto- mobile Association compited the fol- lowing summary, which it 1s hoped will answer many unspoken’ questions of In- terested motorists: New York—Albany Post Road: A few Tough spots but mos'ly good macadam, Abany to Buffalo: Fine macadam throughout. New York to Alhgny via West Side: Practically all good maca- dam, New York to Buffalo via Bing- hamton and Watkins: All good maca- dam. Binghamton to Erie, via Sou-hern ‘Ther Route: 96 per cent, macadam, bal- ance fair dirt. Albany to Montreal, via Lake George and Plattsburgh: All good Macadam, ho detours. Utica to Thousand Tsland#: Good macadam. Syracuse-Ma- lone - Adirondacks: Good — macadam Kingston to Utica, via Catskills and Cooperstown: Good’ macadam to Coop- erstown, then follow several miles of dirt, bad in wet weather to Rich- field Springs, balance into Utica good mi » runnin gvia Paines Hollow and Mohawk, New England—Boston Pow: Road to Still rough though the ‘worst holes have been Patched up; better to use altornate via te Plains, Bedford, Ridgefield, Dan- bury and Waterbury to Hartford. New Haven to Greenfield: Detour south of Hartford; use alternate via Middletown and then follow east aide of teh Con- nectiout River to Springfield. Spring- field to Boston: Mostly good macadam, Boston to Portland ; ifs wehore roid all the way and avold the short cuts via the Newburyport ike, as well as the direst road through Hampton; shore Foad v most of the way. Green- field to White Mountains: Best route at present is via Keene, Newport, Hanover and Woodaville; direct road through Brattleboro and Claremont rough in spots though entirely passable, New ‘ork to Piitatield: Shortest and best route to the Berkshires is via the Har. lem Valley route through Brewster, Pawling, Millerton and Canaan; only one short detour between Stockbridge and Lenox. Berkshires to the White Mountains: Best and most scenic route is via the Mohawk Trail to Greenfield, and then via Sunapee Lake, Lake Wi nipesaukee and Franconia Notch.

It will open on the evening of Nov. 14, in the great ballroom of the Commédore, the main room, east and west wings and the big foyer all being used, and will continue through the evening of Nev: 21.
