Muf1er Cut-Out Arrests.

Motorists are advised that the police
regulation regarding smoking and open
ing the muff1er cut-out on machines is
being enforced. Several arrests were
made during the past week, and in one
instance an arrest was made for the lat
ter offense, when as a matter of fact,
this particular six-cylinder machine was
not provided with a muffler cut-out and

Buying Cadillacs.

1t is doubtful if any other business pre-
sents the extraordinary industrial sit
uations that mark the manufacture and
sale of automobiles. The public has mar
veled at the amazing growth of motor
car production, which has developed from
the condition of puny infant to that of
a huge giant within the short space OF
ditionS just as exceptional and unique
For example, in what business would
one find that 1900 buyers had spent near
ly $1,000 apiece for a commodity before
they had seen it even a pic
ture of it. 1t is hard to imagine
yet such a situation has arisen in the
automobile industry, according to r.. Z.
Howard, sales manager of the Cadillac
Motor Car Company.
Before the public had seen the 1913
Cadillacs or even picture of them,
says MIR. Howard, 'our dealers had taken
bona fide orders for 5000 of these cars.

The manufacturers of this car are build
ing skies exclusively, which is the gen
eral tendency among the high-grade
makers throughout the country. The
company commenced making skies as fan
back as 1907, only few at time; in
succeeding years the demand from the
buying public has determined the ratio
between skies and fours built, until the
six seems to be crowding the four to a
considerable extent. The 1913 line ap-

braces a two-unit power plant, consisting

EXPECT COMPLETION
Of HIGHWAY BY 1915
New York to San Francisco
Road Now Almost
Assured.

There is widespread interest throughout
the country in the plans recently an
nounced looking toward the building Of
a transcontinental highway from New
York to San Francisco, with the finan-
cial backing of the automobile industry
to the extent of at least $4,000 900.
which should certainly assure the sue
cess Of the enterprise.
1t is the intention to construct road
which will be practically Of permanent
nature SO as to eliminate the great cost
of maintenance, which is the DRAWBACKS
to the type of roads now in use in many
states. At a conference soon to be held
by the commissioners under whose direc-
ton the road will be built it is probable
that the type of construction will be
agreed upon.
The preliminary work will be pushed
as fast as possible with view to arrang-
ing for the actual construction of the
highway, SO that it will be completed
the thousands of motorists who are al
ready planning tours to the Panama Pa
cific exposition in the spring of that
year.
Route Includes Washington.
The tentative route suggested starts
from New York city. going south by the
way Of Washington, through Wheeling
and Columbus to Indianapolis. thence
west through st. Louis, Kansas City
and over the Sante Fe trail. through
La Junta, Phoenix. San Diego and Los
Angeles following the Pacific coast to
San Francisco.
The greater portion of this route was

ROAD CONGRESS- AID
PROVES GREAT HELP
Impetus Given to Construction
of System of National High
ways by Its Approval.

Pronounced impetus has been given to
the proposal for the construction of a
system of national highways by the en-
thusiasm with which good roads advo-
Gates throughout the country have well
coined the action of the American Road
Congress in indorsing the federal aid

cent project for the construction of
great ocean-to-ocean highway, in part
following the old trails of the early pio-

of which will be provided by the auto
mobile and allied industries, general lead
ing concerns having already agreed 70

toward this great national ROAD.
Should Continue Aid.
That the national government should
continue the policy of federal aid in high
| way construction adopted by the present
Congress- without waiting for object les
sons in the shape of privately construct
ed transcontinental roads. was the opin-
ion of the congress, expressed in its lrst
and most important resolution. In this
it Endorsed the attitude of the A. A. A,
which has consistently been that before
or system of roads can be intelligently
selected there must be adopted a definite
policy of appropriations and expenditures
! and the proper administrative machinery
providing for the economical distribution
of available funds
The action of the Congress of the
United States in appropriating 100000 for
experimental road construction and ap-
pointing a joint committee to report upon
q comprehensive plan for further federal
aid was Endorsed by the read congress, as
we'll as the proposal to create national
depa rtment of good roads as a separate
branch of the federal government.
Memorial to Lincoln.
OF great historic and patriotic impor-
lance was the action of the road congress
in indorsing the resolution, for which the
A. A A. has continuously stood out, that
the national memorial to Abraham Lin
coin should take the form of a great
highway. with suitable architectural ap
proaches and adornment, extending from
Washington to the battlefield of Gettys-
burg, and eventually to be continued
southwark to Richmond.
Equally important was the adoption OF
the resolution calling upon Congress for
suitable provision for the construction of
a first-class highway leading from the
| city of Washington to the national Gene
| terry at Arlington The deplorable condi-
| ton of this road is well known to MEM
! bers of Congress, and it is hoped that IA
I vorable action on this resolution will re,

Improved Bulbhorn.
recent refinement in bulb-horn con-
struction that has been introduced abroad
is the substitution of a metallic cup for
the lower half of the ordinary bulb, the
flexible part of the bulb thus being con-
fined to the upper and hemispherical part.
The device is intended not only to econo-
mize rubber, but to improve the action of
the bulb. since the horn may be blown to
it's full capacity merely by pressing down
on the top of the upper part. 1t is said
to outwear two ordinary bulbs.

Another plan advocated was to
hire skilled engineers to have charge
of the work, by the month as rail
roads do, various counties cooper
ating in the plan. The use of con-
victS to build the road was approx
ed, and levy of one half mill Of tax,
it was estimated. would provide ex-
penses for food and clothing, trans
portation and superintendent, for
the convicts.
The raising of money by a bond is
sue was considered necessary, if not
indispensable, but it will take at
least four years before money can be
had from this source, counting the
time necessary for a constitutional
amendment authorizing the bond
issue, and the passage of the neces-
sary act by the legislature after
ward. 1t was thought best that
the bonds be exempt from taxation,
bear 8 percent interest, be issued in
denominations of 500 each, and
that the farmers OF the county where
they are issued buy them. 1t was
pointed out that if the bonds were
sold out of the State no tax will be
collected on them within the State,
and it would be far better to have
them sold at home. Mr.. Prtchard
estimated, after a careful study of
the subject, that tax of one mill in
county would pay the interest on
half a million dollars in bonds, pro-
vide a sinking fund for the payment
of the principal in forty years, and
maintain the roads in good condi-
tion when constructed, And the his
tory of good roads has been that
their construction raises the value of
property almost at once, SO that the
burden of debt which looked enor-
nous before the road was built, is
cleared away without trouble,
1t was said that a rock road is
contemplated to extend from Kan,
