IT miles; Plumstead township, 3.6
miles; Upper Wakefield, 81 miles,
all dirt roads, and no toll roads.
The bridge question was spoken
of at the last meeting, and A. F.
Supplee, of Solebury, and Edward
Davis, of New Hope, said that some
thing should be done in this d.
rection, as many of them were I'M
safe for heavy loads, especially with
auto trucks.
There's a total of 1874 bridges in
the Coryell's Ferry Community, on
the Bucks county side, of which the
total length exceeds two and one
fourth miles, divided as follows:
New Hope borough, Z; Solebury
township, 81; Buckingham township,
81; Upper Wakefield, So; Wrights-
town, S; Newtown, 2, and Plumstead
8. Many of these are small affairs,
while four of them (across the
Delaware) exceed 1000 feet in
length. Four or five hundred drains
cross the highways besides these
named.
With total of 173 miles of road
and 1874 bridges, the average is close
to one to the mile. About one-fourth
the total mileage of the roads needs
repairing or rebuilding, and the
same applies to the bridges. Syste-
matte work, which the association
is seeking, will do wonders with
these highways during the next two
or three years.
The Good Roads Movement has
struck the Jersey section of the
Coryell's Ferry Community with
such force that the Delaware Town
ship Committee is busy repairing
the road between Rosemont and
Stockton.
A number of years ago this road
was stoned for most of the distance,
but durin gthe past two or three
years it has been so rough that
travelling was no pleasure. The COM
mittee is having the bitches cleaned
out and the road surfaced up, be-
sides cutting the bushes to widen
the roadway in places along the hill
coming up from the Wickecheoke
creek.
Another effort is expected to be
made next year to have this road
though from Lambert
vile to Frenchtown, via Stockton,
Rosemont and Kingwood, this be-
ing considered a better route than
following the river, even if there is
a climb of four hundred feet be-
tween the river and the Sherman
farm, just above Rosemont village.

Cars May Be Scarce in Spring.

IL 10 noticeable that q great many persons who
intend 70 buy holding back to see what
the national shows In January will produce In the
line Of moderate priced vehicles By new makers
II Is always pleasing TO see new makers coming
into the market with vehicles at popular prices,
because the ideal state can never be reached until
= car Is within the reach Of every third mani but
fear 1918 is going to be hard year on the new
manufacturer, unless he 10 backed BY almost IN
limited capital and has made bis contracts for
raw material months ago. on basis where those
with whom he has contracted cannot back out OF
their agreements.
The demand for cars, particularly small ones,
at and below the $500 mark 10 heavy and grow
ing day By day There Ia every reason to believe
that all sales records will be broken this winter
and during the coming spring.
But It looks as though the tightening Of the
raw material market is going TO squeeze tpe smaH
maker close to the wall long before spring
Parts makers have already begun to warn the
big car builders with whom they have done ousi-
ness for years that after December the condi-
lions, which are now bad. will be worse. Orders
are being taken for delivery Of parts only In small
quantities, and the purchaser Is frequently com
PEELED to take the risk Of an advanced price be-
fore the date Of delivery. The small purchaser,
il is said will not be able to make contrasts after
the first Of the year for parts even at an advanced
price.
All of this is going to stand in the way Of car
production by the newcomers, and the wise car
buyer will get his order in early and take de-
livery as soon as he can get It.
do not consider It advisable to order your car
now or during the show time and take delivery
in the spring, because the man who orders for
April OF May delivery may find that men who take
February or March delivery may gObble up the
cars which, under normal conditions Of the ma
terial market, would be ready for the April and
MAY trade.

larger, buyers to-day are almost witnou' sASep
tion ordering sll-westher cars.
They are divided between the permanent top type
whers only the glass 10 removable, and the So
called demountable top type, where the owner re-
move. his one-msn top and replaces 1t with de-
tachabe top made Of wood and glass
There Is rush for the detachable top by owners
Of open cars, and naturally the manufacturers OF
these tops are endehvoring to keep up with the
trade. There are great many detachable winter
tops on the market, but Go not believe hall OF
them will give satisfaction.
II IA advisable to 20 slow on this detachable top
fad and buy only from the agent for your car
The chief objection to most detachable tops 10 that
they rattle. IL Is not an easy trick to build one
which will not rattle, and Il 10 still moro icuit
70 tasten It TO the touring body in practical sub
stantial manner.
Where the car maker has designed his touring
car to take on detachable winter top no has taken
care OF tho fastening problem. and have no doubt
that the tops which coming through tho fac
tories for the 1910 models will be satisfactory.
The top want to warn you against is tho pat
cn,od affair which Is built TO At anything from
Ford 20 a Packard. These arc usually only make
shift, and seldom give good service.
Where the car maker has gone into tho detncha-
bic top business you will likely nnd that ho has
produced tho bcs, thing that can be mndc for his
cars and II you going to buy one OF these tops
get Il. n possible. from tho maker OF your touring
car or his agent
The car maker did not go into tho detachable
top business willingly. The largest manufacturer"
have been hghtng agansti Tho idea was to keep
up the msrkc, Tor their permanently incloHed cars.
One or TWO makers grabbed up the detachable top
and made It feature OF their line 1t sold their
cars. and number Of patented detachable tops
then came along
The car maker who had been holding back on the
detachable top woke up few months ago. and
since then he has caught UP with the procession
The result Is that to-day the buyer OF a new car
has large variety OF detachable tops and touring
sedans TO select from.
The detachable top Is an excellent and economic
improvement but buyers should get the best in the
market. The detachable top has come TO stay, ard
next year I think you will see It refined In appear
ance and made permanent feature Of the Amer

The glass in the windows is Of 3-l6

In the broad forward windows and in
the doors the glass is arranged to drop
halfway. The rear window is extra
large, providing more than ample light
and vision. This window and the two
rear side windows are provided with
silk portiere curtains
The manufactures says that because
of the substantial construction Of the
top and careful padding between the
top and main body Of the car there is
no rattle. This padding also protects
the top of the touring body.
The true Sedan characteristics are
retained by the use Of the regular
