AUTOMOBILE AND ROAD NEWS
Motor Vehicle Comes Into Its Own
Startling Figures on Use of Auto

In Massachusetts 82R per cent of all traffic on the state highway
system last year was motor driven. In New York City automobiles,
motor trucks and motor buses constitute nearly seven-tenths of all
wheeled traffic exclusive of street cars and motorcycles. Similar
conditions will soon prevail in all parts of the country.
Road building is developing a new science that calls for the
highest engineering skill, says Roy D. Chaplin, chairman Of the
Good Roads committee of the National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. The advent of the automobile and motor truck has brought
new problems that must be studied and solved.
Rapidly changing traffic conditions demand the services of
technically trained men who are not only qualified civil engineers
but have made a study of road economics and the Wavering qualities
and cost of construction and maintenance of different kinds of pave
ments, because the proper administration of road affairs is more
essential than the highest degree of engineering skill.
Too often faulty road conditions are due to too small appropria-
lions in the endeavor to make a cheap surface endure under heavy
traffic. Where traffic of any consequence exists, the cheapest road
to build is usually the most expensive in the end. Efficient highway
engineers will, save taxpayers millions of dollars in years to come
by the selection of proper materials and high class construction work.
Some of the states and cities require candidates for appointment
to the highway departments to pass a civil service examination, thus
removing the offices from political influence. This is greatly to be
desired. Men who have shown good administrative ability should be
continued in office. In the communities where this policy has been

LEVI WILD CALLS ALL MON
TANA MILLIONAIRES
BY FIRST NAME. q
For That Reason He Has Elected
Secretary Silver Bow Club; Taught
w. A. Clark to Sing "Star Span
gled Banner; Worked SO Years
for Western Union.

Levi Wild, Oldest telegraph opera
tor i'm the state, is back at the key.
Wild was at the end Of the wire when
it reached Virginia City in the pio-
neer days. Finally be located in Butte
and became manager of the Butte
office, the telegraph center of most
Importance in the state. He held this
post until a few months ago, when
at the completion OF his fifty years
Of service with the Western Union
Telegraph company, he was retired
ON a pension. just now he is in charge
Of the Anaconda office of the COM
pany, having been called back for a
few months of service to take care of
an emergency.
Wild s residence in Butte was prof
liable for him. There were few big
mining deals that the veteran tele-
graph operator was not taken in on.
The result was that he developed an
acute sense Of market conditions and
amassed a competency. When he re-
urea from tnc VI Tue
Butte office, the governors Of the Sill
yer Bow club, Butte's exclusive social
organization. elected him secretary of
the club, an honorary position. He was
picked out for the secretaryship be-
cause he is supposed to be, the con
fidant Of more Montana millinaires
than amy other man in the state.
Wild is acquainted with all the old
timers III the telegraph game. He
worked with Edison when the wizard
was just an operator. He knew Car
neYie when the steel master carried a
dinner pail. He lived at the same
boarding house that Marcus DAILY af-
fected, when he came. as a young man
to take charge of the Walker brothers
silver interests in Butte. He taught
Senator w. a. Clark to sing tho
"Star Spangled Banner.' and this
achievement was not of a character
to make a critic rave. There is not /;

MAXWELL CLUTCH IS

CASIONED BY ROUGHLY
OPERATED PART.

Sudden taking hold of the clutch OF

aspcrating annoyance in the. operation
of the ordinary machine which all but
precipitates the passengers from the
car and works considerable damage to
the motor car in general, is said to
have been completely eliminated in the
Maxwell through a unique construc-
ton of the Maxwell clutch.
In order to obtain this desirable fea-
ture in automobile construction, the
Maxwell clutch assembly housing has
been 50 constructed that the clutch is
continually subjected to an oil bath.
When operating the clutch, in making
gear changes, the clutch falls back
into position in such a manner that
the film of oil which gathers On the
clutch lining is gradually, but rapidly
squeegeed from the lining, the clutch
at the same time taking a firmer and
firmer hold. The operation is auto
matte, but absolutely sure, and with
out jar to the car.
The speed with which this is accom-
Iplished depends largely upon the speed
at which the car is travelling and the
dexterity of the driver in making geal
changes.

thorities that q rough operating clutel

builders make an especial point o

Automobile show at the Exposition

being planned by practically all the
dealers who have reserved space.
This will be the Pacific coast s first
automobile show of a national scope.
Heretofore the automobile exhibitions
have been local affairs, with only a
local interest attached. This time,
however, the display will be one
which interests every motor car man
on the Pacific coast.
San Francisco was chosen as the
location for the show, chiefly because
it is the center of the automobile in

because the Exposition Auditorium.
