The most potent factor for the future
development and success of the automobile
industry and its allied interests in this
country is the necessity of uniformity and
need of Standardization in the construction
of new roads as we'll as the proper main
tenance of them,'' was the statement made
by Joseph w. Jones, the we'll known auto
mobilist, who returned on Wednesday last
from three months absence in Europe,
having covered about five thousand miles
in touring through all of the principal
countries on the Continent.
AS special agent of the Department of
Agriculture of the United States govern
ment, Mr.. Jones, who is also a director of
the Touring Club of America, was dele
gated to represent the government at the
second international Road Congress, held
at Brussels a fortnight ago, and was en-
thusiastic in his praise of the success OF
the convention, which was attended by
the representatives of all the countries in
terested in road Improvement.
"One Of the great lessons of the Inter
national Road Congress- said Mr., Jones,
is the absolute necessity for the introduce
ton of a uniform system of road building
throughout the United States similar to
the systems which have been adopted In
France and Great Britain, where the high
ways decrease in width, according to the
Importance of the traffic.
From my observation, the roads in this
country, especially throughout the South.
are too wide and lack the requisite depth
of foundation necessary to insure perma-
nency. The idea that some highway en-
gineers have of simply laying foundation
of q few inches in depth is altogether
wrong, and the roads SO constructed are
expensive to maintain and must be rebuilt
in a short time. I consider that the Eng
lish roads. although the narrowest, are the
best roads over which I toured in Europe,
especially the surface thoroughly
tarred and covered with a light coating of
sand"

6Uanfs Uniform Road SYSfern
Government Delegate to Road Congress Pro-
poses New Plan.

'The Royal Automobile Club of Great
Britain, the Automobile Association or
London and the Touring Club OF France
are all actively identified in this good
roads movement are conducting ex-
haustive experiments in the construction
of an improved type Of roadbed and have
the cooperation of their respective gov
ernments in this splendid work.
Through the efforts Of the officials Oh
the Touring Club of France splendid new
road, three hundred miles In length along
the Riveria, in Southern France. is no"
being completed, and Will be the fnest
stretch Of roadway in the world Inc
plan adopted abroad provides for the erec-
ton of permanent signposts by the gov
ernment giving the distances and the
names of the cities and villages as well
as indicating dangerous turns and cross
ings.
The new roads In Great Britain are as
smooth as a billiard table, and although
the surface had been treated with thln
coating of tar the construction had been
so thorough that huge traction engines
drawing cars loaded with stone and graVei
have no noticeable effect upon them
..Whu, is required in America, 1 believe
is the organiza ton Of a. road congress-
similar to that which has been held an
nually abroad. This congress should COM
prise ell of the highway commissioners
and road engineers Of the various states
and municipalities, and think that Logan
Waller Page, the director Of the Unteo
States office of public roads at Wasnlhs-
ton would be agreeable to assisting IN the
eaoiza ton and conduct of such a con-
gress. whereat an interchange OF IDEAS
upon all subjects pertaining to the hlsh-
ways, their construction and maintenance
could be discussed to the advantage OIL
every state, county and city, OF "hlch
there are many spending millions OF DOL
lars each year for the Improvement OF
their highways.

GOLF|NG BY MOONLIGHT
A. ]. Watson Gives Remarkable
Exhibition at OunWoodie.
PLAYS 18-HOLE ROUND IN "a
Without Losing Ball He Finishes
Course in Two Hours and
Ten Minutes.

Probably the most remarkable exhibition
Of goIfing under difficulties was given on
Friday night by A J. Watson Of the Dun
woodie Country Club. who played an
eighteen-hoIe round over the Dunwoodie
course by moonlight in "a strokes.
Mr. Watson started from the first tee at
8:35 p. m. and finished the entire round In
two hours and ten minutes About twenty
five interested club members followed tho
play. some Of them helping the four profes-
sional caddies who had been engaged 10
follow the ball
No one VINO has not tried 10 play golf by
the light Of the moon can realize its diff
cuIties- There are a thousand chances 10
lose the ball. Even in the brightest moon
light it Is impossible to see the ball IN
flight The only method OF following it is
by sound The caddies and gallery scatter
out in front OF the player and listen for the
ball to drop after they heir it click from
the impact of the club Mr.. Watson was
particularly fortunate in not losing his bail
once his greatest luck in this regard being
on the drive from the thirteenth tee. The
ball crashed into a tree at the edge Of the
woods and rebounded to the edge OF the
fair green on the opposite side of the,
course.
The Dunwoodie course is unusually hilIy
and difficult, the boyle Is 50 and the won
derful moonlight score Of "a will be ap-
preciated by golfers all over the country.
Few players ever get below so on ths
course by dayIight-Mr. Watson's best day
round this year is 78- About year ago
Mr.. Watson made a similar moonlight al
tempt. making 90, which was regarded as
phenomenal.
The start on Friday night was auspic!ous-
Playing from the first tee with a mid-ir
MIR. Watson laid the ball on the green
about ten feet from the cup. He hoIed
out on his second making the hole in two
strokes under boyle. The second hole was

shot and three puts on the green resulted
in a seven. On the fifth and sixth holes
Mr.. Watson's drives were close 10 two hun

ninth was the only one at which there waJ
much overscoring-here the play is all up

a hanging lie. Watson in attempting TO
