AUTUMN MOTOR TOURING Autumn motor touring bids fair to be nearly as heavy as the summer touring, according to information given out by the touring bureau of the Hoosier State Auto Association at the main office in Indianapolis. “There is no prettier time of the year to go motoring,” declares the motor club statement. “The summer festivities of the Amalgamated Gravel Spreaders have about come to an end at this time and with a few fall-like rains this gravel will begin assuming its proper place as a part of the roadbed instead of wobbling and cirumambiating around in a generally loose and reckless manner. "By the time the leaves are in their sear and yellow stage all nature will be dressed up in her most glorious color schemes. The air will have just that tang which will give real zest to any outdoor ventures and then motoring assumes its real pleasure. Not hot, not cold, not so much dust and little if any mud. Even with the open type of car touring becomes a real pleasure, but in these days when the closed type of car is becoming so generally used for touring, the autumnal trips are pleasant, indeed.” The headquarters touring bureau which acts as a clearing house for touring information from all parts of the American continent, reports a heavy demand for autumn trips to the east and also the beginning of the demand for routes to Florida and Pacific coast. The bureau advises that Pacific coast trippers may well begin their plans for early start to take advantage of the roads in best condition before autumn rains make loblollies of them, in some states that must be traversed. The query: “Which is the best route to Florida?” is best answered by the statement: “There ain’t no such animal! The best way to go to Florida is by your favorite railroad. “There is a choice of three routes from Indiana, none of which is good under adverse weather conditions and some of the routes highly toured are actually dangerous in rainy weather. The bureau has complete information for the adventurerous ones who ; wish to motor through and this I information will be supplied gratis to any member of the Hoosier State Association anywhere in Indiana, it is stated. Touring to the eastern seaboard promises to be a real delight, it is declared. Leading east from Indianapolis there are only two detours on the National road and these are rapidly dwindling so that most of the way is on pavement over Eastern Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and on to Washington, New York and Boston as well as points farther north. The scenic beauties of this trip are recommended as being beyond compare as the roads through the Allegheny mountains are well paved, well marked and safeguarded with warning signs everywhere. Motor club membership embraces such valuable touring information that this alone is held as an incentive for automobile owners to support the work of organization. It is pointed out in this connection that the automobile organization is not operating for profit, but for the benefit and protection of the individual owner who, acting as an individual,- can accomplish little in his own behalf. and scalds I MENTHOIATUM | V cools the pain and > the This Means You, Mr. Merchant! , r DID you know that you and tins paper have an interest in common?

DUNES HIGHWAY TO BE COMPLETED IN SPRING Indianapolis, Oct. 7.—Remarkable progress is being made at paving the Dunes highway, State Road No. 43, in Lake county, and the Gary section is, I believe, destined to be one of the outstanding achievements of better roads construction in Indiana, John D. Williams, director of the state highway commission, said today. Mr. Williams ind W. J. Titus, chief bridge engineer, are bAck from inspecting a number of northern Indima state highway projects. The section Mr. Williams referred to is near Gary, where for a mile and a‘ half the road masses through a marsh. The contract for seven miles is held by the General Construction Company of Gary. When this company started through the marsh to make a fill for the '•ight-of-way, it was necessary to dredge out and remove many tons of muck and vast quantities of decaying vegetation, before thO fill could be built from sand on which the concrete pavement is laid. Many difficulties were experienced in making this fill, according to Mr. Moe, superintendent of the construction company, chief of which was getting machinery and equipment across the swamp on to the right of way. Parts of this preliminary work necessitated crossing the swamp with a 30-ton dredger, caterpiller type. At one place the bigmachine mired and to get it again on firm ground it had to be hauled out by an interurban motor car. A long steel cable was procured at Chicago and by means the traction motor operating on the interurban line which parallels the highway only a short distance away, was able to extricate it. The job cost SI,OOO, Moe says. The Dunes highway is approximately 20 miles long and is almost an air line route between Gary and Michigan City. It is destined to be one of the most heavily traveled highways in the Indiana state road system, as it will care for traffic between Chicago, through Gary, Indiana’s i chief steel city, to Michigan; City, a famous summer resort, a»d further east it will connect with a state road through Michigan and thence through eastern states to the Atlantic seaboard. The construction of the Gary end is considered the most unique road building project in Hoosier highway construction, and is being watched by highway engineers in all parts of the country. Many have visited the project, and road magazines are sending writers to observe the work with a view of giving it wide publicity. Difficulty in obtaining right-of-way and also materials, the latter due to industrial tie-up prevents the entire 20-miles of pavement being laid this year. However most of it will be completed and the remaining gaps closed in spring. o Some persons set themselves on pedestals without being cure of their standing qualities.

INDIANA WOODLANDS Indianapolis, Oct. 7. —In a report just filed with Richard Lieber, director of the state conservation department, Charles C. Deam, state forester, states that he visited 147 woods in 47 counties in Indiana this summer inspecting land which the owners purpose to classify for reforesting'purposes. Mr. Deam spent the entire nmmer in the field and aside from inspecting woods, addressed t m-mber of public meetings at .vhich he explained in detail the nirpose of the new law which -.ill stimulate forestry interests : n this state and go far, conservation officials believe, toward placng Indiana in a position to proluce sufficient timber for its eeds. This law was enacted at the ast General Assembly and perrits the classification of wood•inds to encourage the growing f timber. Hundreds of woodmd owners applied and several housands acres of land, some infitted for any other purpose han growing trees, will soon be lassified and put to forests, Mr. )eam says. Most any kind of 'and will classify providing it has i good stand of trees either large r small, and if the owner signs m agreement that he will keep 11 kinds of live stock out of it luring the time it remains a voodland. Once classified the 'and is appraised at $1 an acre F or taxation. Mr. Deam’s report shows that many owners of potential land fail to realize the value of such

a possession other than as it is looked upon as a kind of a bank account from which one may draw cash quickly by cutting the timber if in need of ready money. Few pay any attention to future growth, and many, in order to obtain cash quickly, cut even the smaller trees which by every deduction should be left to grow to maturity and provide more umber. When no step is taken toward reforestation it means that when the present stand is cut the land will be clear. In the opinion of conservation officials this is waste for much of the land now in forests will never produce consistently good agricultural crops and some can not even be farmed because of the broken and uneven topography. The report shows that the best stands of white oak, white ash, yellow poplar, walnut and shellbark hickory* have been cut, while the less valuable woods such as beech, sugar, black oak,, black gum, black hickory, and elm of low commercial value are left. Many farmers have given little attention to their woods. The conservation department recently published a pamphlet on management of the woodlot, which is free to those writing for it. The department is also now able to furnish from the state nurseries small trees for reforestation purposes, Mr. Deam says.
