IMPORTANCE OF GOOD Rt

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ROADS
 with the coming of spring and the subsequent increase in touring the matter of good roads is once more brought to the attention of motorists says President w. H. Van Dervoort maker of the guaranteed fifty horse power Moline-Knight.
 Good roads and the Improvement of the highways are of paramount lnl- portance with motor car owners. Without good roads touring loses most I of. it's fascination.
 stThe whole country is stirred as never before relative to this great 1 question If there is anything in loves his state and has civic or state pride, desires above all, is to have the city or states reputation maintained. Today the public finger is pointing to the duty of the states toward good road building. commonwealths s ireputation for enterprise, progress and all that goes to make it worth living 1 in. is determined very largely by the character of it's roads-the great ar lteries through which flows tie business land pleasure life of a state.
 s.Good roads do not interest motor 1 car owners alone; the farmer, horse owner and pedestrian are all vitally l1concerned in highway improvements. whenever a farmer loads his wagon he has in mind the worst part of the
 
 that be one or i've or six hundred feet long. or has one hundred feet or one hundred miles of good road at each end. he knows that its worst hill or nudhole limits the size of the load he can haul. Because this is so, ev- cry bit of road constructed in this country, connecting those roads on which we have spent money, should be made so good that no mudholes, no steep grades no worst spots.'' in short. will be left to limit the wagon load to less than can be without diffi- cu1ty hauled the entire length of the system of improved roads. There must be no breaks in this chain, no interruption in these great arteries l through which flows the industrial life of the state.
 ssrhere has been no vehicle like the automobile, and there has been no 1 class of people like motor car owners who have done so much and have spent so much money ip the i'm provement of the highways. The coming of the automobile has been a. blessing to the farmer as che auto mobile has brought much better roads,

HOW CARS ARE TESTED.

Most people have a very vague idea as to what really constitutes the test of an automobile, in fact, the word has a different meaning in all Peck, of the Peck & Lines Go, distri- butors for the Haynes,t Americas first car. in this territory. With the Haynes Company it means great deal. From the time the raw mater ial comes into the factory until the finished car is ready for shipment, tests are continually being made. The steel must. be tough and strong, the castings must be free from i1nperfec- tions, and every finished part must stand the test of a rigid inspection before being used.
 After the motor has been assem- bled and filled with oil, 1t is bo1ted to testing block and turned by an cleo tric motor for six hours; then every part is frightened and adjusted and the motor is run under it's own power for a period of ten hours, after which it is rigidly inspected and installed in the chassis.
 ."The road testers then examine and oil every part of the chassis. They adjust the brakes, tighten all screws, nuts and electrical connections. and take 1t out on the road. They first test the brakes and try each of the gears then they test the minifn um and fast speed on high gear and tune the carburetor to still finer adjust ment. They drive the car on various grades. It must, without apparent eff fort, climb hills that the average own CT will never encounter. All parts must work in unison before the road tester has completed his task.
 After this, the chassis is again in spected and delivered to the chief tester, a man who must have. a nat ura1 instinctive ability to locate and remedy the most minute and unno- ticeab1e irregu1arity. It is his duty to bring the car as d whole up to the highest degree of efficiency. He does not rely entirely on the @. K.' of the road-tester but tries the car himself before sending it to the final assem- bly,.
 .gThen after the body mas been fit ted and the car is ready for ship ment, he inspects it once more to make sure that everything is up to the Haynes standard-the cu1mina- ton of twenty-one years successful automobile buiIding.'
