I 'William H, Anderson, Superinten
dent of the Anti-Saloon League of
2'tow York, Issued a statement In
Srtilch.ho extended a "friendly warn
ing" to Jhe antl-Volstcad portion of
iShe community to the effect that If
2thoso Influences which opposed Pro
hibition continued to maxu fuss
enough about tho Sunday question
Shoy may create a situation where
even those friends of Prohibition who,
IM yet, arc not Interested In Bunday
aws will becomo Interested on
Jtho pnnelplo that anything wlilch
la sufficiently opposed to those who
Jook. the immoral end of tho Prohibi
tion question must be. a good thing
Snerely because of the character of
"jts Opponents."
ft Mr, Anderson wound up his state
went with an afterthought of a par-
'Arrttnli In which ho said:
"if It shall finally transnlro that
ft large proportion of tho constituency
f the Antl-tjoioon Liooguo lines up
1th an advance Burxlay programme,
the opponents of Prohibition will bo
largely to blame."
In which connection ,11 may bo re
called that tho Uov. hr. Wilbur V.
Crafts, who founded the lord's Day
Alliance, wroto tho Wartlmo Pro
hibition Law jind probably the
Blghtcenth Amendment, and founded
the Intcrnntlqnal tlcform Hurcaii,
Inc., of Wtnhinglon, which hlvAi all
roform orKanlzutlons In tho United
States, was In 1818 listed as a mem
ber of the National Executive Com
mittee of the Anti-Saloon Lcuguo of
America.
Tho ltcv. Dr. David J. nurrell of the
Marble Colleglato Church, President
of tho Anti-Saloon Lcacuo of Now
York State, Is one of the Hoard ot
Managers of the Lord's Day Alliance.
Itobcrt (. Davey. special counsel of
the Jord's Day Alliance, is listed In
the New York Telephone Directory as
"Attorney, Anti-Saloon League, 0
IJioadway."
Tho Hoard of Directors of the AntJ
Hajoon League In a statement Inst
evening expressed tho belief that a
"considerable portion of the constit
uency of tho Antl-Halotfn league ns
individuals" is hooked up with the
proposed restricts e Sunday IcgUlu
latlon. What the Antl-Snloon
League objects to, they dorlnred. Is1
belpg linked, us a leami with tho
blue law agitation. Its members muy
ho Advocates of a blue law crusade,
hut thi league as a league, the Ho.inl
of Directors say, wants to keep out
ol It altogether and doesn't want peo
ple saying: "Uiok what the Antl-S.i-loon
league is doing now."
The llov. John Ferguson, Stale fin
perliitcudRnl of the Lord's Day Al
llanco, was told that tho Hev
William T. Manning, rActor of Trinity
Church, Had said in o, sermon last
Sunday that: not only does ho believe
'n Sunday sports but that tho clergy
should oncourngo them by taking part
In them and that ho himself had at
tended ball games on Sunday."
"Dr. Manning should know that any
such example as that leads down
ward," said Dt, Ferguson. "IX Dr.
Vanning goes to ball games on Sun
day, the layman will, say ho Is Justi
fied In doing something worse. The
Scripture Says: 'Like oeopltf, llko
prloat.' Tho clorgy should set a high
standard."
Asked If ho did not think that Bupt.
Anderson's statement Indicated that
Anti-Saloon League leaders were
working sldo by sldo with restrictive
Sunday law agitators, Dr. Fergueon
rcDl ed: -
"Of course. Tho samo moral forces.
back of Prohibition aro working for
proper observance of the Lord's Day."
Dr. FergUbon was asked whether
ho believed one should be compelled
to devote hfs Sunday to. moral Im
provement. "yell," he replied, "you take a boy.
A boy likes to go to a ball game. If
he passes a ball game ott Sunday It
Is likely he will go to It. If there
were no game, the boy" could not go
to It. You see whatI mean'"

ALL LARGE CITIES

Though It had been announced two

Mlle had IiIh engineers go over
Grand Ccntml Pnlace again last week
und the result was that accommoda

were discovered. This brings the
total of exhibitors for tho dtspluy
Which will be held Jan. 8 to 15, up
to erighty-elght. This not only sots

Some Idea of the Interest In tho
national motor oar expositions this
ytar can be had from statement by
Mr. Miles, general manarer. Mr.
Mllcn says that tho nnnllcatlnnH for
exhibitors' Invitations received -thus
iui snow un incrcaso of approxi
mately BO per cent, over last year.
One of tho features of tho shnw
will bo tho appearance of ten makes
of cars which have never been shown
at the New York show.
With a total 6f elghtyielght man
ufacturers exhibiting there will be
moro than 3D0 passenger cars shown
in the PaMco. This means tho wid
est range of automobiles ever shown
urulr one roof will be on exhibition.
And one factor that will appeal to
the publlo Is that every car on exhi
bition will bear tlfo "Made In Amer
ica" label. In other words the Twen
ty-first National Automobllo Show
will bo a. ropri-fiontatlvo showing of
the Nhlrd Industry In ths UnWod
States.
The number of accessories to be
shown at tlje coming exhibitions .will
also break all records. These acces
sory diBplay alwny ntraot, for there
aro many new Inventions constantly
making tholr appearance, and autoi
moblllsts spend a lot of time at tho
rhows looking ut these features.

Tho widespread practice of motor

from tho Street Commissioner of Huf
falo! "Wo have eight roadsters which
re used by our Superintendents. If

would necessitate practically doubling
tho number of SupeilntcndenU and

BATTERIESREQU1RE
FREQUENT JESTING
u (
Short days remind ono thnt It Is
necessary to tcet the storago battery
occasionally with a liydromeler to see
that it Is being kept properly charged.
Greater domands are mado upon the
tiattcry, during the fall and winter be
muse It la necessary to burn the lights
earlier and later. It also tace a little
longer every time to start tho motor.
The battery is not qulto as efficient In
cold weather as In warm, since heat Is
an aid to tho chemical reaction which
takes placo within the battery.
It may bo necessary to remove the
battery and havo It properly charged
occasionally from an outside source,
according to II. Clifford llrokaw, of
West Sldo Y. M. C. A. auto schools.
It usually may be looted enough over
night so that It Hi not necessary to lay
the car up. With most cars ft will be
found' necessary to do this once a
month during the winter. Care should
also be tuken to see that the battery Is
not In danger of freezing, if stored In a
cold garage the battery should be taken
Into a warm room over night. Acid,
however, does not freczo as readily as
water.
ROADS TO FLORIDA
IN GOOD CONDITION
in lino with Its policy Of giving the
motoring publlo tho benefit of Hie very
latest touring conditions In all section
of tho country, the Touring llureau of
tho American Automobile Association
has Just announce the publication of a
sarlcs of new strip maps covering In
detail the most popular routo from New
York to Florida. Knch map covors
about 100 miles ot tho route.
As to tho ncttml routo Itself thcro Is
no doubt that tho best way to rnch
Florida this s?aon Is over tho Hank
head Highway from Washington to At
lanta. Many motorists do not run all
the way to Atlanta, howovcr, but
branch off at Athens and contlnuo
south to Mason from which point the
DIxlo Highway Is followed either direct
to Jacksonville or elxo via Thomnsvlde
and ixKo city to points in tno central
and western part of Florida,
No one need hesitate to .start on such
a tour becauKe during tho last two or
mreo years tno various souinern mates
have awakened to the advantages of
better roads, and already millions ot
dollars have been spent In Improving
tho main lines ot traffic, particularly
those which arc most used by tourists
from trio North.
Many of tho worst stretches have
now oeen permanently pavau Willi
macadam or concrete and practically
all fords havo been eliminated by tho
construction of permanent concrete
bridges and culverts. v

until we 'phone him that his car is again in perfect condition. v
Statistics kept in our service station for four years conclusively .

the undisturbed use of his automobile for 365 days in the year.

This amazing plan is made possible solely because the

days a year without attention. Nor is an owner always iortunate
enough to ride steadily without accident.
