OUR COUNTY ROADS,

The great question Of good roads
is one hat has assumed national.
Statewide and countrywide proper
tons. As & business and progressive
question it ranks second only, in our
opinion, to the question Of edu-
cation. AS a matter of fact, its pro-
portions and possibilities are Of so
great moment to Il people as a
whole-county, State and nation
that it can be properly considered
only in It's widest and broadcast sense.
There is no room for local quarreling,
no reason for petty j%ealousies; and
while there is neither room nor rea-
son for these minor things that tend
to hinder any good forward move
ment, still there is not only room for
sound business consideration and
careful thought. but absolute neces-
sity for them.
An Observer has. we doubt not,

gladly publish in this issue his arti-
Gle, for we believe it will result in
general good, and it is worthy OF
careful consideration. We shall not
attempt to go into a detailed ''cXpla-
nation OF what we had to say i'm re-
gard t" this question, but quote it in
lull as IT appeared:

Tor the present year is also put in a
pccuIlar position. zach township

There is no consideration given 10

townships pay for all county pur-

TIRE MAKING IS
THIRSTY BUSINESS
One Big Factory Uses More
Than Four Million Gallons
of Water Daily.

"When the housewife complains of
the high water meter rate at your
house, tell her that one big tire and
rubber plant daily requires 100000
gallons in the manufacture of automo-
bile tires, rubber fabric, etc. said
a tire manufacturer recently.
So enormous is the consumption of
water in rubber plant that the econo-
mic problem Of supply and cost is the
gravest ono tire manufactures have
to solve. One company could not get
a guarantee Of a well of sufficient
capacity to supply the miniature Nj
agara needed for the hydraulic presses,
mold cooling and in the various intri-
cate and particular processes of rubber
manufacture. 1T did what economy
and sound reasoning dictated to it's en-
ginecrs-built portion of the plant
over a river.
With an almost unlimited supply of
water in the river to draw upon, this
company pumps these millions of gal
Ions through its machinery, utilizes its
cooling and mechanical properties, and
sends the fluid back into the river
course to perform its natural vocation
of carrying silt to the river outlet.
In many respects the boiler room
and power plant of this big tire and
rubber company has features parallel
ing the stupendous water supply facili-
ties Iii interest to the student Of we'll
equipped plants. Stored at the top of
the boiler room are 1000 tons of coal
"a sufficient bunker capacity TO last
the plant seven days. Every pound of
this fuel and water used in the boilers
is. measured as part of the economi-
cal and systematic conduct of the
plant to detect any loss OF fuel value
In transferring the coal and water into
power. The boiler capacity is of 1900
horsepower. The engines are of the
cross. compound, rope-drlven type, one
developing $500 horsepower, while an
other develops 1000 horsepower, the
balance being used in vulcanizing, heat
ing and pumping water.
Every working day in the great
plant means the transformation Of en-
ergy and the pumping of sufficient
water to move all the freight trains

NEW RACING RULES
ARE IMPROVEMENT
Real Data as to New Cars Now

erty.

The theory Of the food expert that
canned and storage goods should be
marked with the year of their birth has
been put into practice in the automobile
racing game. Hereafter the vintage OF
racer will be one of the chief facts
to be shown plainly to the public, as
dictated in recent ruling Of the A. A,

of an automobile can really know
whether the car he buys is identical
with the stock chassis that wins speed.

While the revision of the racing rules
and registration was not carried far
enough to be entirely effective still it
IS more satisfactory than the old way
OF racing particularly speedy mod ell
or ancient vintage OF one vet to be
built, and advertising its performances
as that of the current issue. Under the
old system the public gets the wrong
impression. While the victorious racer

1t is not, as cars of that model are not
In the market.
Although the new system does not
make it compulsory for the manufac-
turer to come out frankly and give
the year the competing car was made,
1T amounts to virtually the same. Each
racing car will be registered and given
number. which it will hold for the
life of the car. The records of the A.
A A. will be gone over and numbers
assigned to all cars that are in the rae
ing game. While the details are not
yet decided, the idea is to arrange the
numbers serially as to the year of man
ufacture so the public can recognize
the vintage Of any car readily
This arrangement will make the new
ruling Immediately effective BY re-
ferring to these numbers the prospec-
tive owner can positively know whether
he is getting counterpart of the car
that cleans up handsomely in road race
or on speedway. The automobile pub
lie will be able to see at a glance who
are and who are not racing stock chas-
sis in both the letter and the spirit
of clean, honest competition. The
whole racing game will be benefited
The real purpose of the A. A. A. will
be more apparent. The manufacturer
who races models of strictly current is
sue will get credit for it, and more than
ever before the road race and speed
way will be valuable auxiliary to the
testing department and guide to the
