SYSTEM OF U. 5.
HIGHWAYS MAY
Soon Be REALITY
Federal Aid Law Already Be-
coming a Big Factor For
Good Roads

Now that all OF the states have been
equipped with state highway depart
ments and have adopted the policy OF
building state systems OF main
through line nighwd! the
federal aid road act is on the statute
books-every condition is favorable
for the next and browning act, the
g. establishment of a national system oil
highways.
Gradually the state has made itsel:
a compelling factor in the handling OF
local road problems and, as logical
sequence, the federal government
first through educational activity and
later by the financial aid provided By
the federal aid law, has made itself
powerful factor in the working out OF
the state highway problems. The
next logical step follows the same
course which has been pursued by
the state government, namely, the
broadening of federal participation TO
provide for the establishment OF a
system OF national highways.
This policy can be put into effect
without disturbance of existing organI-
cations. without providing new means
OF finance and with but little change
in existing law. The process would
logically take q course somewhere as
follows: ...a.
First-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.
SSecond-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. 49,.
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 to the federal
government. ..-..
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 included
In national system. But this need
not cause extreme conflict, as the fed
eral 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 available
and considerable time necessarily
must lapse before the national system
could. be laid out and made ready for
ihe application of federal funds.
In all probability the new scheme
would come into effect as an extension
Of the present federal aid road act.--

OVER.DEMAND IS
SOON APPARENT
NERVOUSNESS
REQ Sales Manager Sees No
Reason for PeSsimiSm in
Industry

, Here's the situation in the auto
mobile business as see 1t, says the
manager OF the REQ Motor Car Co.,
when asked to give his view on a
subject about which there has been
so many conflicting views Of late.
Those concerns that have stand
ard product with an esta blished repu-
tation, enjoy, at this moment, not only
a demand equal to their output, but
an over-demand
In the case of those concerns who
are newcomers in the field, or whose
present models date back only a year
or so, it is perhaps true that there
is a slight slackening in demand.
This merely indicates to my mind
that when conditions are uncertain
as they have been for the past few
weeks since we. have declared war
people select with greater care than
at other times. They therefore buy
on reputation and past performance.
IF there is an apparent hesitation
in the automobile business, it is not,
as some financial journals have de-
duced, due to fear on the part Of man.
IloS ShC oCIAoAN AANy oAO~N
en-, but to precisely opposite condi-
tons; namely fear that raw materials
may not be available.
The manufacturer cannot plan to
make say, 100000 cars, until he is
certain that the materials for making
every part Of those cars will certainly
be available.
Now. at the present time. this is
not certain.
PERSONALLY l don't think there will
be a shortage of steel because don't
think the government can take all
the steel of the kind suitable for au-
tomobile making that will be pro-
duced. There are some other arti-
cles, however, which for obvious rea-
sons l would not be justified in men,
tioning-of which the supply is most
unt ertain at the best. That being the
case, established manufacturers who
have much at stake, hesitate to plan
for a larger production in the com.
ing year than in the past"

Orders ISSUED
FOR COMP ANY OF
MOTORCYCLEMEN

II is announced from the transpor-
tation bureau, quartermasters corps
in Washington, that an official reg.
ulation has been issued for the for.
nation OF a special motorcycle COM
pany. The formation will be in charge
OF the quartermaSter at Fort Sam
Houston. San Antonio, Texas
II is the plan to recruit immediate
ly motorcycle riders as such AS fast
as the companies are made up new
companies will be formed All mo-
torcycle riders wishing to enter the
army for this special service are re-
quested to get in touch with the quar-
termaster at Fort Sam Houston, stat.
ing their ages, dependents, if any, eX.
perience, and other qualifications for
military service. Good repairmen are
in especial need.
AS the work of formation cannot
be done overnight, it is to be expected
that some delay will accrue in answer
ing all the applications received. But
in view of the recent large order
placed for motorcycles for the army,
and in further large requirements
which are sure to come, it is GER
tain that the department will sooner
or later have use for the services of
every trained motorcycle rider who
will volunteer for this service.
As the draft numbers showing
those men who are to be called first
are by no means the only figures to
be drawn, and it is probable that

TOXIC. Japan.-Dr. George Mi.

man who introduced into the Japan

Thirty years ago DR. Michaelis came
out to Japan as a young man to be-

GROWS
in POPULARITY

Recently in the automobile sections
jof number of newspapers appeared
ain article telling how the surfaces of
smoothly worn automobile pedals
might be roughed up to prevent driv-
ers' feet from slipping off sideways
on occasion.
Such siips at critical moments, at
corners or in traffic, involve certain
amount OF risk and may easily Jesuit
in serious accidents.
The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.
calls attention to the fact that car
drivers feet will not slip from new
pedals, or old, if their shoes are soled
with Neolin. .>.
Neolin is the new synthetic sub
stance, discovered in the Goodyear
laboratories, which is rapidly replac-
ing leather soles ON mems, women's
and children's shoes. One of its
strongest features is the fact that it
will not slip on smooth, wet or icy
surfaces. .e--. =.
Neolin is not rubber, and contains

stance, with rubber's waterproof
qualities that have already so proved
themselves that Goodyear has con.
tracts with over 400 American shoe
manufacturers for its use, replacing
leather. s-- s:.......... ....
Neolin's big introduction was made
possible by the rapid advance of sole
leather in the last few years-and
now that it is in general use, bids fair
to largely replace leather for shoe sole
purposes. At any rate it certainly
takes away the danger of feet slipping

FOREIGN MINISTER
Of HUNGARY CALLED
QUICKLY TO BERLIN

COPENHAGEN Nov. Count Otto Kara, Austro-
Hungarian Minister has been summoned to Berlin and is
reported to be route there by special dispatch trains
The order for the Foreign Minister'S presence in Berlin
was issued Sunday afternoon and he was told to arrive
soon as possible This the official statement from Ber
I'm which has been received here.
Among the officials here is it generally believed that
the visit to Berlin preliminary to new Teutonc peace
offer owing to the late action the HungaranS are taking
in the present war Several weeks ago it was reported
that Hungary ready to quit and official orders
issued to the soldiers to keep only the defensive and
take no part in offensive movements The sending of EN-
peror Charles of Austria to the Italian front to
mand the AuSoGemnan forces in their drive against the
Italians was done to arouse renewed enthusiasm in the
hearts Of the Hngaans and to impress upon them that
the Germans were not taking the lead in throwing their
commanders to the front on all OCCASIONS This did not
pacify the HmgaranS anticipated and various ruors
reached Berlin regarding mutinieS Of serious nature.
Otto Kara, himself Hungarian could do nothing with
the forces and he sent word to the German Imperial Gov
ernment that onehaIf of the Dual Monarchy demanded
peace The Count stated in his communication to Berlin
that the leaders of Hungary had prepared their peace
terms and it is believed in diplomatic circles here that he
has been requested to present them the Kaiser and to
discuss other national affairs.
