The local agents for the Goodrich COM

In connection with the rescue of com
munity from a beer famine recently. The
statement follows
How the Goodrich Service department
relieved a threatened beer famine on Long
Island recently was told yesterday bv

we lay as great stress upon the serv-
ice we give to- our patrons said Mr.
AspelL "as we do upon the merits of
our goods. The other day our service de-
partment in New York got hurry-up

Sons truck, loaded with five tons of beer
for distribution throughout Long Island.
had broken tire near Greenpoint This
was at 9:15 in the morning immediately
one Of our auto trucks with a man from
our solid tire shop was started to the aid
of the disabled brewery truck. 1t is a 40
minute run from our branch to Green
point. but we brought the disabled wheel
in. repaired the tire, and at II 80 our truck
was on its way back to Greenpoint At |
o'clock the five tons of bottled thirst
quencher were OH their way to their des
tinations. Considering the heavy nature
of the job, as well as the time involved
in going back and forth from GreenpoInt
think this is top-notch efficiency and
another demonstration of the reliability Of
Goodrich service. 1t isn't often that users
of Goodrich truck tires have any trouble.
but when an accident happens they know
that the Goodrich service department is
on its tiptoe, ready to come and help
out.

Curious Foods in Italy

Huge meaty chestnuts are found every
where in Italy. Peeled and boiled in
reddish broth, seasoned with laurel leaves
and caraway Seeds the nuts are palat-
able. About two dozen of the large ker-
nels are sold for one penny In both
Genoa and Naples the friggitrci are in
teresting, and some of their specialtes
are well worth a trial If one can forget
the unappetizing appearance of cooks and
cooking appliances, says Lesies Weekly.
One friggitriee attracts attention to
tray of golden balls which she piles in "a
pyramid. The golden balls are artichokes.
They are boiled in salted water until
tender and are put in pan over steam
to keep them hot until a customer ap-
pears. For three pence the vender will
take one from the steaming pan, dip it
into batter, and pop it into the hot oil. A
moment later golden brown ball, deli
cious and crispy on the outside and ten
der and succulent on the inside, is hand
ed to The purchaser. The frying is man
aged in such way that when the. fritz
ters are taken from the kettle they are
very hot, but so dry on the outside that
they scarcely soil the fingers when eaten
from the hand. Another friggitrice spe-
cialty is that of cheese balls. They are
made of paste filed with grated cheese
and fried Mashed chestnuts, rice
chopped chicken and many vegetables
are used to vary the filings for the pop
ular fritos. Some of the frying kettles
are portable and the friggitrci have reg
ular routes like the milkmen, where they
tap at the basement door, get their orders
take their tiny bellows and blow up the
charcoal until it glows and then cook the
breakfast of meat balls or rice cakes or
artichokes, which are sent in hot.

The roads in Kansas, while good on the

For that reason the use of a six-clin-

of the year regardless of road condi-
tions.'
Upon his return to Indiana after the
tour, Elwood Haynes. in discussing the
trip with a number of newspaper men,
spoke of Governor Hodges great enthu-
sasm for the state of Kansas and for
the Lincoln highway project.
THE governor" said Mr. Haynes, de
clared that Kansas would do her part for
the establishment of this highway. and
that due to the immense wealth per cap
ita in the state, the people could well
afford to purchase the best and highest
priced cars made"

that he had been requested to convey his

that he thus had every opportunity OF

Congress in Detroit during the week OF
September 20. In the apportionment OF
days the ones devoted to national legis-
lation and the needs of the roads users
fell to the American Automobile associa-
ton as a matter of course. while the
American Highway association of which
Director Logan Waller Page of the United
States office of public roads is president,
assumed the burden of the programme
concerning construction and inter-reated
matters. This body correlates the ef-
forts of the general roads organizations
of the whole country.
Marked confirmation of our contention
that national roads are now demanded is
found In the progress of events in Great
Britain, which now realizes that 1t must
do what France learned long ago had to
be done to insure roads communication
in all parts of the country.
"A measure was recently introduced in
the British parliament by Lord Helmsley
which provides for the taking over as
national roads by the British road board,
of such roads to connect the different
counties with each other. 1t is expected
that the bill will become a law at the
next session of Parliament. At present
the roads of Great Britain are divided
into three classes: Main road by-roads
and private roads. The new law when en-
acted will add to these a fourth road.

nomenclature: national roads. These will
be constructed. repaired and maintained
soley at the expense of the central gov
ernment. %
Speaking on the subject in the House
of Lords, Lord Montague urged upon the
government the necessity for a central
highway department. He pointed out that
there are 100000 miles of main and secon-
dairy roads in the British Isles. and that
Els 100000 sterling (about $90000,000) is be-
ing spent annually upon their improve
ment and maintenance, and that there is
no department of the government which
is directly responsible for the roads and
the expenditure of the money. He stated
that the development of the highways is
rapidly becoming a national question
which the government should weigh Sc
riously. Other brief addresses indicated
that there exists a widespread feeling
that the bill for establishing national
roads and creating national department
of highways, should be put forward as a
government measure"

The Alec cars are no more. In an
announcement the American Locomotive

that no more Alec cars will be made
The announcement assigns no reason for
the abandonment of automobile manu-

always been held in the highest estima-

National roads are natural result of
the modern use of the highways, brought

George C. Diehl of the National Good

I'm the consideration of the country

Automobile association for the million and
more motorists, We hive given conscien-

that the United States must be provided
with a national roads system connecting
all the states continued Chairman Diehl.
