DON'T DRIVE IN A RUT"
MOTTO OF TEXAS MOTORISTS

All automobilists should be expo

motto, Don't drive in the rut.' in the
opinion Of Arthur Holmes, sales man
aver of the Franklin Automobile COM
pany- Conservation Of good roads IS
lust as important as the encourage
ment Of good road building Good roads
cost a lot Of money and a motorist
pavs great deal toward It. The
owner Of an automobile should feel the
responsibility in making his share OF
the investment in good roads go as Tar
as possible.
I'D roads discourage motoring, yet
to certain extent motorists are respon-
sibIe for them. How often have you
seen a well oiled road in fairly good
condition, or a new section OF highway
lust built, become almost impossible by
constant usage of a rut that was first
it. Six inches Of road. often u or 16
feet wide. is called upon to stand the
strain Of all the traffic over it. This
really should not be. OF course, IL is
the natural tendency to drive on the
crown OF the road. but in principle IL
is wrong, If the road is to be used TO
the best advantage
After these ruts are started and the
surface has been broken through, come
the chuck holes and dust holes. and in
rainy seasons you have the water TO
contend with. which softens the sur
face and decreases the efficiency Of
material used in making the road.
Don't drive in the rut' IL lived up
to. would save thousands Of dollars an
nually in the building Of roads. increase

SEE AMERICA FIRST TO

President John a. Wilson, Of the
American Automobile association,
makes reference to the fact that not
only those who have been in the habit
yearly OF goinE abroad will gain an
acquaintance with the United States
and Canada, but thousands OF other
people will indulge in interstate road
travel. If the country roads are made
better.
In the pioneer days OF the motor

fined TO people who had both means and
leisure" says Mr.. Wilson but a large
percentage Of automobiles are now
possessed by substantial citizens who
take only occasional vacation periods
Francis N Hugo, secretary Of state Of
New York, in commenting upon the fact
that one-third Of the 40, 600 cars in his
commonwealth are owned by the farm

ity instead of luxury. Nevertheless. 1

COLOR SCHEMES USED
IN BARKING ROUTES

Interstate road travel is said to have
reached its highest development i'm the
New England states. because Of their
early recognition Of the fact that high
way progress means many visitors and
consequent investment and an increa Sc
OF temporary and permanent residents.
Chairman William d. SOhier Of the
Massachusetts highway commission has
come forward with a color scheme for
marking the main routes. not only Of
the Old Bay state but Of all the New
England commonwealth. In a com
municatiOn TO the American Automobile
Association Touring board the Nassa-
chusetts road head sets forth sum-
mary Of his marking proposition.
Chairman s Percy Hooker Of the New
Hampshire Highway commission has
already pat into effect a color scheme
Of his own, which he would have to re-
wise somewhat in order TO meet with
the SOhier idea Of one color for routes
north and south. another for roads
east and west, and a third color for
secondary and diagonal roads.

Garages are charging cents over
the above scale, but mainly OF their
own accord, are doing little business,
excepting in emergency cases. Garage
men say they do not care TO handle
the fuel excepting for their own uses
and purposes, because Of the inability
to make any money out Of it. Prac-
tically the only business they now get
is from owners who store their cars in
garages and feel obliged to patronize
