THE JITNEY BUS
and CITY STREETS
Effect Of Motor Traffic on
Maintenance Of Highways.
A VITAL CIVIC PROBLEM.
J;tney Movement Will Be of Untold
Public Value If II Will Focus Public
Attention Upon the Need For Special
Types of Roads For Motor Traffic.

OF vital Importance to the public well
fare is the effect of extended motor
vehicular traffic on the costs or build
ing and maintaining city streets ana
country roads, writes clyde Lyndon
King in the American City. AS the
motor vehicles will, without doubt,
very largely supplant the horse drawn
vehicles in cities, this whole question
must be an increasing and vital prob
lem in every city. The jitney move
ment will be of untold public value II
it will focus public attention upon the
need for special types of roads for mo
tor tratiic-a boon not only to automo-
biists, but to business and trucking ia
cilities as well.
Many insidious efforts have been
made, not only i'll this country, but in
England and in other European coun-
tries as well, to show that the motor
vehicles are solely responsible for the
wear and tear of streets, and that they
alone should pay all the expenses of
their building and upkeep. Thus If
the levy of * pence per car mile were
made ON motor BUSES as was proposed
in England, the motor BUSES would
pay in the Westminster area alone
practically $4,000 per year for road
maintenance, whereas the total cost of
the maintenance of all the roads in
that area has been estimated To be
only $4,000 per year. No more effec-
tive measure could be taken to inhibit
either actual or potential motor com
petition with street railways than exor-
bitant leyies for street and road main
tenance and operation. The central

BY Searle Hendee, IN the November
Popular Mechanics Magazins.
Since Europe has been merged in
hostiilties, scarcely month has
passed unmarked either by the de-
velopment of some new agent of de-
structiOn, or the introduction of some
new medium of defense. The crea-
tive genius of half the world has been
concentrated in an effort to make
Nar more terrible on the one hand,
and safer on the other. And first
one belligerent and then the other
has met crucial emergencies by in
genius, not to say startling, inven-
tiOns.
The apparent deadlock on the
western frontier has presented a per
picking situation. For months the
armies have fought battles more san
culinary than Waterloo without max
ing progress except in terms of yards
Trench warfare has been responsible
Tor this.
To make the trench less secure for
the enemy is an object which each OF
the belligerents is striving to accom-
plish. a step in this direction is found
in the work of British inventor who
has developed a wheeled body shield
that affords immunity from rife bull
let's and shrapnel when advancing up
on fortified positions. The'body OF
this is constructed Of temperedsteel
plates, the front so rounded and tenn
pered that bullets strike the surface
at an angle and glance off without
doing harm. The rear is open, while
the interior is just large enough tc
accommodate one soldier, who rests on
his hands and knees. The device i;
propelled forward by pushing against
the ground with one foot.
