HERE'S MOTORISTS' ROUTE Chicago Motor Club 'P oints Out Cq,.crete Route to Wubington ~or Big Event Nest Month The inauguration of a new president of the United States is an event that has no parallel. Although entirely free from any hint of regal pomp, it nevertheless presents a spectacle of solemn dignity and rare beauty. . No_ real American can gaze upon tt wtthout a quickening of the pulse and a renewed interest in and devotion to the government under which he lives. So fascinating is the inaugural program that on each occasion in late years, according to the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor Club, there has been an ever increasing number of motor tourists in Washington to witness the great event. This year the day falls on Monday, thus permitting car owners to drive from most points in the midwest through Saturday and Sunday. The distance between Chicago and Washington is only 731 miles.
