NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The Pan American Road Congress. which will assemble at Oakland. California, Sep tember 13 has been arranged on most comprehensive scale. The fact that nearly all of the states of the union now have state highway depart ments, and that the Canadian proVin- ces in North America, Guatemala, san Salvador. Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama Tn Central America; Columbia. Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina. Chile. Ecuador. Peru and the Guianas in South America, all are pushing road construction energeticaliy. emphasizes the usefulness to civilization of the Pan American Road Congress, where universal American methods and prac- tices may be studied and discussed
 Brazil and Argentine have problems in road building similar to those in the Central and Eastern portions Of the United States and the Eastern cana dian provinces Chile Peru, Columbia and Bolivia may be compared. in road possibilities and requirements, to the Pacific slope and Rocky Mountain reg ion of the United States and British Columbia. All America meets on com mon ground when roads are to be built. Peru, Chile and Bolivia have some specimens of wonderful roads built by { the ancient Aztecs: Brazil has some | roads built nearly three hundred years | ago by the Portuguese: and in various 1 parts of Central America there are eX- amples of remarkable road construc- 1 ton. Ii is probable that during the dis cusSions at the Pan-American Road l Congress much scientific information concerning these ancient highways may | be presented by the official delegates
 of the countries named.
 Tine Municipal Auditorium at Oak | land. where the Pan-American Road l Congress will assemble September 13 | is admirably equipped for the delibera tions of a large gathering; and as the 1 congress is to be held during what is considered the choicest season of the year, opportunity is afforded to see the | Pacific coast at it's best, combining pleasure with business.
 Governor Ernest Lister of Washing | ton. in behalf of his state and of the 1 Spokane Good Roads association, has l extended an invitation to the members
 Of the congress to visit the state of
 Washington and the city of Spokane.
 and inspect the good roads work which l IS being done there.
 The American Road Builders associ-
 ation and the American Highway asso-

The grinding test of a race is what SHOWS up the worth of a tire under unusual conditions of speed ana wear Aside from the increased speed made possible with SilvertoWns. the actual comfort and better control they give to the driver of the car are indications of their advantages on cars in ordinary use. The secret of their success and Of their constantly in creasing favor with motorists is in their cord construction-the two plies of flat, rubber-imprcgnat cord presenting a tire carcass which is distinguished not only by it's difference frO~' ot""~- ''''t by it's amazingly higher percentage of genuine tire service.' xHexsy4

HOLDS UP PERMIT TO ORIENT
State Utilities Commission Refuses to
Grant Authority for Railroad to
Issue Watered Stock.

The Kansas City, Mexico & Orient
Railway Company will not be allowed
to put 100000 Of water into its
securities. Some time ago the new
company asked the Kansas public util-
tiles commission for permission to is
sue $71 100000 in stocks and bonds to
pay off outstanding debts and claims
against the old company and to re-
imburse the bondho1ders Of the old
company. In the showing made to
the commission the company listed
the actual value of all the property
it owned at slightly more than s455-
100000, and that the actual cost Of
the property had been about SGT ,000,-
900.
Under the terms of the reorganiza-
tion plans each bondholder was to put
up $500 in cash and receive therefor
$4,000 in stock for each $1,000 bond.
The claims against the old company
were to be paid partly in cash and
partly in stock of the new company.
D. W. Mulvane, the Kansas direct
or, and Joseph Braithwaite of London
had a conference with the members
of the utilities commission recently
and were informed that the commits
sion would not issue the permit.
This commission does not feel that
it should allow to be floated many mill
lions of dollars worth of securities for
which there is no actual value in the
property" J. L. Bristow, chairman Of
the commission, said.
ITO give this company a certificate
for the $27,OOO,OOO would mean this
commission conserving to the re-
organizers adding a large amount of
water to the securities. This would be
unfair to the state and its citizens"

PUTS LIMIT ON FORD'S TOUR
State Department. Will Refuse To
Issue Passports to Any OF the
Warning Nations.

Washington, Dee. 3.-Secretary Ian
sing announced today that members OF
the peace party planning to sail on
the ships chartered by Henry Ford
will not be given passports to bellin-
gerent countries, but only to neutral
states in Europe
Secretary Lansing made 1t plain that
passports were given to American cit
liens for belligerent countries only
when business made 1t absolutely nee
essary to visit there or when they
were invited by some governmental
agency in those countries Mr. Ian
sing explained that no distinction was
being drawn between members Of the
peace PARTY and other American eiti-
zens and that the general rule Of the
Department of State was being ap-
piled
The ruling, however, was generally
interpreted as meaning that the United
States does not regard unofficial mis-
sions in efforts to Lake peace by pri-
vate persons as business Of an urgent
character
Very few applications have been
made for passports TO visit bellig-
erent countries, the plan OF the peace
party being to assemble a convention
in one of the neutral countries and
put into operation their plan with a
neutral capital as a base
