Poor Pieces of Road Are Repaired

1.-THE national capital and New York
city are at last linked together
by a good highway. The compile
tion of the short stretch Of road be-
tween Principle Furnace and North
East, Maryland, makes it possible, for
the first time, for motorists to travel
between the two cities over a nearly
perfect roadway. This part Of the
route would have been completed last
year but for a relocation which was
not contemplated when the contract
was first let Another relocation was
made near Kingsville which materially
improves this route by the elimination
Of two hills.
Transcontinentalists who plan to use
a southern route one way will find that
a great deal of work has been done
during 1914 and much better conditions
prevail than is generally supposed. The
Washing ton- Observation-Disclosures route is
completed except for two miles of road
between POhick and Lawton and about
eight miles in Prince William county.

RAPID DROP IN THE

Two years ago six cylinders was a
synonym for cOstliness in the automo-
bilists' vocabulary.
The six was recognized as possessing
qualities altogether desirable in a motor
car, but they were qualities that under
the manufacturing conditions of those
days it was impossible to incorporate
in a car that the average man could af-
ford to buy. A six cylinder motor OF
those days with cylinders cast separate

flee of public roads has undertaken the
maintenance of this highway and has
appointed three of its engineers to ad-
wise as to the best means for keeping
this road in good condition.
Until such time as the two links in
Virginia are completed. motorists will
probably use the Shenandoah valley.
The valley pike between Winchester
and Stanton has been much improved
during 1914 and is now in better con-
ditiOn than ever before. Connecting
with this pike, the stone road through
Berryville, Halltown and Hagerstown
is in splendid shape, and there is hardly
a foot of the road from Baltimore via
Frederick, Hagerstown, BerryviIle to
Stanton in poor condition.
West Of the Mississippi, much money
has already been spent to make a south
ern route practicable. The state of
Arkansas has let contracts for 10 miles
of road to connect with the bridge lust
north Of Memphis, and II miles to con
meet with the ferry from Trotter's
