EXPECTS CONGRESS WILL
BOOST GOOD ROADS

THAT congress will come through
at this session with good roads bill
framed along practical lines seems
highly probable. Congress is over
whelmingly in favor OF good roads
legislation. This is election year, and
the members OF congress from rural
districts fully realize that no single
measure would endear them TO their
constituents TO quite the same extent
as an appropriation from the federal
treasury to help in the building OF
good roads"

says
"Out of the wilderness OF good

statistics. the torrent OF good roads
oratory INTENDED primarily for home
consumption) certain basic features
have been evolved which will UNI
doubtedly be incorporated In the leg
islation to be enacted this year.
THE first essential feature is that
the federal government shall deal
with no political unit smaller than the
state. There are nearly 5000 counties
and 10000 townships in the United
States, thus making $4,000 units which
the federal government must deal
with If il undertakes to give federal

A few months ago Gen. Blanco, Of

not killed by Aging bullets was con

the body OF the ear was literally rid

which were 33x4 Firestone non-skid,
were punctured by bullets The vital
parts of the car were not damaged,
however, and the tires were quickly
repaired by the Corpus Christi Tire
G. Rubber Co. of Corpus Christi, ana
Blanco still enjoys an occasional JOY
ride in his warproof car.
A short time afterward an artlcle
pertaining to this scrinmage came
to the attention of Capt Alfred Aloe,
depot quartermaster OF the United
States army at Galveston, and he was
deeply impressed, as the automobiIes

truck into Mexico about the first OF

With the Firestone solid tire ana

POINTS VALUE OF
TIRE ATTENTION
One of Most Important Factors
In Motoring, Says Local Dia-
mOnd Manager

Many motorists fail to get &C.
quainted with their tires till some
thing happens to make the tire al.
most not worth attention." said II j.
Morehead, local manager for Diamond
Tires in this city yesterday by this
mean that tire knowledge is tire
economy.
The automobilist today is getting
to be a pretty fair expert as a me-
chanic and chauffeur. The man with
red blood in his veins likes TO drive
himself and, what is more, he likes
10 know what makes the wheels go
around and why the sparker sparks,
and other interesting things about
the mechanics of his car.
But. as rule, he ignores the most
important things OF all--the tires
The tire Is the big factor In the pleas.
ant drive or the hard ride II you're
In a hurry you throw In the high,
move up the spark and let her flicker,
and your tires have to negotiate car
tracks and bumps and terrific blows
and sudden strains.
1T is your tires which relieve the
machinery OF some OF the worst
shocks; II Is your tires which take
up the everlasting jogging. and II is
your tires which take the toughest
usage and, in comparison, give the
least trouble.
Tire service today varies with the
knowledge OF the owner. The more a
man knows about tires the more mile
age he gets out OF them, tire for tire.
and car for car.
Motorists, some OF them. just have
tires put on as IL they we're made OF
iron and expect the tires TO run for
ever without care or attention.
The psychology of this is hard to
get at. But the results are apparent
IF man will take some thought to
his tires and put the care into them
that he puts into other parts OF his
car. he will be putting dollars into his
own pocket.

LONG DISTANCE
TOURING POPULAR
Inquiries Indicate That Trips of
1000 Miles and More Will
Be Features

Summer is here, maryland tour
ing time.
Judged by the inquiries at the Ford
factory for road conditions. and the
thousand and one things tourists want
to know, ii is almost certain that
touring-long distance touring-is TO
be more popular this year than ever.
From all corners of the United
States come indications that the two,
three and fve-thousand-mile automo-
bile trip is going TO be strictly the
thing this season.
Those who live in the east are plan
ming trips west, those who live west
are planning trips east, those who
live north are planning trips south,
and those who live south are planning
trips north. At any rate, right now
there are probably more tours in
anticipation than at any time since
the automobile has come into prac-
teal use.
These deductions are necessarily
made from the touring inclinations be-
ing shown by Ford owners. The thou
sands OF owners OF this car have dis
covered that It is almost as economi-
home.
Year after year more and more
Ford owners succumb TO the lure OF
the open road" Owners have taken
trips ranging in length from 1000 to
10000 miles TO find at the end that
il has cost them, all told, less than
two cents per mile TO operate their
private transportation lines"
Some take their way leisurely be-
tween towns and put up" nights
within the cities, while others prefer
TO carry complete camping outfits, and
make the tour camping trip as well.
Thousands upon thousands OF Fords
are sold every year, and thousands
upon thousands Of new owners are
thus added TO the lists OF tourists
For no matter for what purpose the
car Is purchased. at some time or
other, by the very nature OF things,
II is bound to serve as touring"
car.
Road conditions throughout the
country are steadily improving, and
thus each succeeding year finds more
routes available to the tourist. This
improved condition OF the roads may
be explained in part by the fact that
every sale OF an automobile Is bound
to add at least one more ballot in
support of the good roads propaganda.
II all indications-the strongest OF
which is the mass of correspondence
received at the Ford factory from po-
tential tourists--do not fail, the coun.
try roads will be more thickly popu.
lated with Automobiles this year
than ever before.
