have named delegates to attend the
fourth American Road Congress at At

for most of the states and preparations
are being made for an unprecedented
attendance.
The problems of city street construc-
tion and maintenance will this year
receive exceptional attention, as the
construction of high-class roads now
approximates the methods adopted for
street paving. Among the prominent
city engineers who will discuss this
subject are Charles E. Boiling, city en-
gineer of Richmond. Va; F. L. Ford,
city engineer of New Haven, Conn.
L. D. Smoot, city engineer of Jackson

missioner of Birmingham, Ala, and &.
S. Brown, city engineer Of Charleston,
W. Va
Many difficulties have arisen in con-
nection with contract work in the con-
struction of bridges and highways and
it is expected that the congress will
devote much attention to ways and
means of improving the methods and
conditions under which contract work
is being done.

EUROPE WORKS AUTOS
| HARDER THAN US. DOES
Cars Run for Hours at Forty to
Fifty Miles an Hour, But the
Roads Are Good.

Vice President Heaslet, head of the
engineering department of the Stude-
baker Corporation, who recently re-
turned from abroad from a two-months
study of the European automobile in
dustry, calls attention to the surpris-
ing fact that automobiles are called
upon to Withstand much harder service
in Europe than in America.
II had always understood that be-
cause of the excellent roads in Europe
foreign demands were less rigorous for
enduring qualities like those that are
necessary in America" Mr.. Heaslet
stated, in telling of his experiences.
II find, however, that drivers take
advantage of the good roads, which are
found everywhere. and drive at a
speed only seen in America on race
tracks.
Forty to Fifty Miles an Hour.
Il was amazed to note the service
expected of the Studebaker six" and
-four" in Europe, and was naturally
pleased to see the manner in which
they stand up. 1 toured large sec
ton of Europe with our Dresden, Ger
many. dealer, and for hours at a time
he drove from forty to fifty miles an
hour with the throttle wide open.
Such continued speed is never seen
In this country, and it is a terrihc
strain on any motor"
The tendency in Europe, Mr. Heasiet
found, is toward greater comfort, ana
American body designers have some
thing to learn abroad. Foreign cars
are built lower and have not so much
road clearance, but American manu-
facturers cannot build lower until bet
ter roads are built. He spent some
time in the leading factories OF Eng
land, where he found the manufactur-
ers deeply interested in American
methods
Need of Good Roads.
AS soon as American roads are I'M
proved as they are in Europe, Mr..
Heaslet says. American and European
standards will become more nearly
identical, and this result. he believes,
will be more to the advantage OF
American manufacturers than to those
of the old world. as American makers
will then be able to build a quality
car which more nearly comes up to
European ideals and at price with
which foreign manufacturers cannot
compete.

prospects. With an increased impor-'
ktation of foreign goods on non.
competitive basis, the home market
was lost to the American nranufac-
iturers. and soon factories closed or.
worked on half time and half capac-
