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- Chilled Rubber § Process 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.” HAVE A SMALL PIECE OF CANVAS IN TOOL KIT Few car own.ru realize what a conven if-nt aacessory Ik a llttl*. square of can van about eighteen Inches over all.

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, T. B. Corley, manager. 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.
