HEBE IS LATEST FLAN
TO SWINDLE AUTO
BUYERS
Swindlers arte working the Illinois ter
ritory, to sell motor cars discard
ed by the war department for $350, of
which $l5O is cash and S2OO to be turned
over when delivery is made. The sales
men carry forged credentials of the gov
ernment and stipulate that the buyer
must not sell the car; must not change
the color for upward of one year, nor tell
anyone how the machine was obtained. It
is said the swindlers have been making
their headquarters in St. Louis and that
the total proceeds so far are not less
than $50,000. A letter has been received
from H. L. Rogers, quartermaster gen
eral of the U. S. A., and director of pur
chases and supplies, stating that there
wilf be no new cars for sale, and. for th*
time being, there will be no second-hand
cars to be disposed of. If there should
be a surplus of new or second-hand cars,
they will be turned back to the manufac
turers to be handled through the regular
trade markets, as told several times.

SCRIPPS-BOOTH
POPULAR FEATURES
Even those who have but a limited ac
quaintance with automobiles can point
out a Scripps-Booth with certainty It
is easy to identify this car, whether it
is speeding along a smooth boulevard or
gliding swiftly in and out of the tangled
maze of traffic.
And yet there is nothing commonplace
or “freakish” about it.
Scripus-Booth automobiles stand out
from the common run of cars because
they represent in their entirety, a har
moniously designed unit. Every detail of
their construction and equipment was
planned with careful consideration of its
relationship in dependability and appear
ance with all others. In this way a higher
degree of efficiency, beauty and refine
ment has been embodied than is usually
found in cars selling at anywhere near
their prices.
As an example of the extent to which
the manufacturers have gone to make the
Scripps-Booth a quality product from top
to tires, take the special silver radiator.
Instead of the usual nick**l-plated brass
radiator found on cars selling at a me-

BUSINESS MEN WILL
RUN MOTOR EXPRESS
LINE
Business men of Tyrone, I’a., are plan
ning a motor express route, having Ty
rone as the terminal ami covering the
country enroute to Huntingdon and State
College. The rail route over this track
is long and slow and from three to four
days are consumed in the delivery of
freight and express by steam line. With
a motor express as planned, deliveries
ran hi made from Tyrone lo any point
on the route,in less than half a day. The
elimination of the Tyrone transfer has
made the local freight movement to points
east of Tyrone toward Huntingdon one
of the slowest in the.state, although the
distance is only 20 miles.
WAR CAUSE OF ’
AUTO DEMANDS
A new and bigger demand for motor
cars is irrophesied for the United States
as the returning legions from the fighting
front again take their place in the Indus*
trial and social life of the nation. This
t T'Vi, 1 f rn ade by L. W. Woodward
of the Woodward Motor Company, and it
is teased not on the wonderful exploits of
automotive vehicles in the war zone hut
on the change in habits of the personnel
of the armies as a result of their military
experiences.
"The habit of punctuality and of get
ting to a given place in the shortest time,
and with the most economy," says Mr
Woodward, "is one that will be firmly
stamped upon the character of the re
turned soldiers. War is based upon time
liness of movement; upon speed and ac
curacy in carrying out any plan of action
and the hoys who come back are going
to apply this to their daily business and
social life.
"There can be one result only, and that
to make them see the motor oar in the
light of service. Couple this habit of
promptness with the performance ttiat
motor cars have made In carrying out the
vital maneuvers of the war and the ex
soldiers will be quick to recognize the
value of tile automobile in their everyday
existence. When you stop to consider
tliut every motion in a soldier's routine Is
baaed upon doing the task in the, short
est. yet most thorough way, you can un
derstand the way in which these lighters
will sweep aside the older, clumsier meth
ods of their civilian days an ' adapt the
new-found methods to them.
"1 believe that the motor car haa today
arrived on a new plane In the public
mind. It haa been an experiment, it has
been a novelty and a craze, too. Now It
is a sound, substantial product- with a
definite place in our daily life, which can
not be taken by another.”

National Policy Needed
In 1918 automobile manufacturers paid
a total of M 2,000,000 In taxes to the fed
eral government. In the same period car
owners paid 150,000.000 In motor reglstra
tlon fee. to the states. Total automobile
taxes, including the personal property,
excise, local charges, etc . for the year
are estimated at 1150.000.000. The charges
will reach *200,000.000 In 1919. All of these
are paid by car owners In the last analy
sis. making a total charge of 12$ per car
for 191*
Against this It should he noted that of
the 2,501,000 miles of highways In the
l.nlted .States hut *.250 miles are equal
the demands of heavy duty trntflc sod
this mileage Is made up of loose, uncon
nected links.
It would appear from this that the
needs of the car owner have not been
considered In highway construction, yet
his taxes amount to a sum equal to more
than half of the total road expenditures
In the I'nlted States for any single year. I
evidently a national polt-y is needed
dium price, a radiator of this expensive,
non-corrosive metal is provided.
Then, again, there is the matter of
equipment. The smart, refinements, the
regular equipment of the Scripps-Booth.
Upholstery of genuine leather, real
Pantasote one-man top, curtains that
open with the doors, walnut steering wheel
and many other refinements such as a.
Klaxon horn. Stewart speedometer, and a
perfection heater in the closed models,
are found as regular equipment in
Scripps-Booth models. This car is han
dled by Lexington Mortar Sales Company,

IHE AUGUSTA HERALD
ROAD ENGINEERS ARE
NEEDED BACK HOME
The return of the Twenty-third Engi
neers Regiment along with the other bat -
talions of road-building forces has been
ordered. This was requested in a reso
lution passed at a meeting of the. Ameri
can Road Builders’ Association in New
York City, which authorised a committee
to take up with the war department the
matter of returning these units. S. M.
Williams, president of the Highway In
dustries Association, was made chairman
■>f the committee and has been working
with the secretary of agriculture for the
return of the road men in the regiments
mentioned above. As the services of these
men are greatly needed on this side to
carry on the large amount of road work
that will be undertaken in this country
during the road building season, it is
hoped that the remaining units will be
ordered home as soon as they can he
