Washington, Oct. 9.-President Will
son yesterday signed commissions as
generals for Major" General Tasked H.
Bliss, army chief OF staff, and Major
General John J. Pershing, command
ing the American forces in France.
Although both officers have equal
rank, General Bliss takes precedence
by virtue of his position as the direct.
ing head of the entire army organiza
ton. .. .,..
Congress revived the rank of gen
eral for the period of the war largely
to avoid embarrassment to General
Pershing in dealing with officers OF

armies on the western front. The
new grade carries a salary of $4,000
a year, an increase of $4,000 over the
pay OF major general.

Finding that failure of assessors to
list all banks was responsible for the
depreciation in total valuation in bank
stock in the counties of Eddy, Rich

Rollette, in which the state !oard Of
equalization increased the assessed
valuation of bank stock 100 per cent
at it's recent statutory meetings, the
board has reconsidered it's action and
restored the assessed valuation of
bank shares in these counties to the

EMERGENCY KIT SHOULD
BE WELL EQUIPPED

The automobile tourist who insists
upon travelling in absolute comfort in.
variably carries in his car a more or
less complete kit of repairing equip.
ment with which his tires and tubes
may be fixed up in time of emergency.
A box Of patches, a blowout boot and
a few valve insides do not occupy a
great deal Of space, but there are &C.
casionally times when they prove of
immense value.
In discussing this point, the man.
ager of the Fisk Rubber company,
points out a way in which a motorist
who is careful to keep his sundry kit
we'll stocked effect considerable saw
ing on his tire expense. He says that
a slow leak, one of the most exasper-
atiug difficulties which the motorist
can encounter, is more often due to
an imperfect valve inside than to
any other one cause.
The simple and sure remedy for
such trouble is to supply a new valve
inside, which can be accomplished
easily and quickly, thus remedying
the entire trouble. A well furnished
sundry kit is sure to include several
small articles Of tire equipment which
are bound to result in saving to the
motorist in both patience and money.

NATIONAL SYSTEM
OF HIGHWAYSN
NEXT BIG STEP.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-"Now that
all OF the states have been equipped
with state highway departments anC
have adopted the policy OF building
state systems Of main, through-hnc
highways-because the federal AID
road act is on the statute bOoks-eVery
condition is favorable for the mex
and GROWING act, the establishment
OF a national system OF highways
predicts George Z. Diehl, chairman Oh
the good roads board OF the AmercaA
Automobile association, which was d
pioneer exponent OF government CO.
operation with the several states.
Gradually the state has made itself
a compelling factor in the handling o!
local road problems" continues the A.
A. A. chairman, and as logical Sc
quence, the federal government, first,
through educational activity, and, late:
by the financial aid provided by the
federal aid law, has made itself a
powerful instrumentality in the work
ing out of the state highway problems
The next logical step 'ollOws the same
course which has been pursued by the
state governments; namely, the
broadening OF federal participation to
provide for the establishment OF sys
tenn of national highways.
This policy can be put into effect
without disturbance Of existing oTgani-
cations, without providing new means
of finance, and with but little change
in existing law. The process would
logically take a course somewhat as
follows:
'Ftrst-The state highway depart
ments and the federal office of public
roads would make an initial selection
from existing state highway systems
of those highways which are of inter
state importance.
''Second-A system thus selected
would be approved by congress, with
the requirement that federal funds be
applied only to such system on and
after a specified date.
"Third-The federal aid should be
extended to maintenance as well as
construction, as the national system
of highways should have, for all time
a close relationship of the federal gov
eminent.
Is Some of the states have already
made plans for utilizing the aid grant.
ed by the federal aid road act on
roads which could not properly be in.
cluded in a national system. But this
need not cause extreme conflict, as
the federal funds. for the first three
or four years operation of the present
act could continue to be applied as
now planned. The appropriations for
the first two years are already avail
able and considerable time necessar-
lily must lapse before the national sys-
TEN could be laid out and made
ready for the application of federal
funds.
I'm all probability the new scheme
would come into effect as an extension
of the present federal aid road act"

The next few years will see the

that part makers will be able to pro-
