tion. The opinion is generally shared that the delinquency of Virginia in providing herself with connected high ways traces to an inability to recog- nize the problem as state wide in it's character and requiring state built and state maintained roads. This fact was emphasized in the addresses of the speakers.
 The Piedmont route to Atlanta IS 77.6 miles shorter than the Richmond Petersburg route, which is S34S. The Piedmont route possesses scenery in great quantity, but the roads generally are not the equal of the Richmond route. From Greensboro, N. C., to At lanta there is only one line followed.
 Between Atlanta and Memphis the route has been officially passed upon and recommended to the board of di- rectors, which will meet in Birming ham the latter part of the month. Next spring the route across Arkansas will be decided Two routes are pos sble across Texas, with the Texarkana, Dallas, Fort Worth, Fl Paso line hay ing an undoubted advantage. if the Texas state highway department holds to it's present plan for eXpending a goodly quantity of the federal aid money on this thousand mile stretch. Beyond Fl PasO to the Pacific Coast slope several routes are under con- sideration.

CORD TIRES TEND
 TOWARD IMPROVED
 RIDING QUALITIES

The greatly increased riding comfort and the uniformly satisfactory mile ages that motorists have been reCeiv ing from the use of cord tires particu- larly on some of the heavier cars, are graphically portrayed in a letter which the Goodyear Tire X Rubber company of Akron, Ohio, has just received from MT. E. A. Cochran, superintendent of the Woolworth building in New York City.
 He writes in part:
 T am writing this letter to you en- tirely of my own volition. believing that you will be interested to know of the remarkable tire performance l have enjoyed by using tires of your make on my car.
 Last April I bought a new LeXing- ton touring car equipped all around with Goodyear nOn-skid cord tires, 36x41h, and, in addition, l secured two spare tires of the same kind. Since last April, l have toured 5000 miles over the New England states, as well as New York and New Jersey, covering some of the toughest roads have ever experienced.
 At no time on these tours, did carry less than six passengers After going 5000 miles, 1 removed the rear tires and substituted the two new spares, which up to that time, had never been taken from the rack. This was done simply for the sake of econ ! omy The front tires have never beer taken from the wheels, and in the entire 5000 miles of travel not one oi ] the tires (front or rear) has been pune tured or leaked air in any way. To day they are. in uniformly good condi- ' tion.
 ''I regard this as a most unique per formanCe, considering the size ant weight of my car and the kind of tra vel which it has been subjected to dur | ing the last six months. One of thu 1 greatest pleasures in motoring is sat
 sfactory tire performance. and l knov i of nothing on my car which has beel So thoroughly enjoyable. In fact l hav' quite forgotten that my car is equipped | with tires at all"

AGED GOOD ROADS
 BOOSTER |S STILL
 EFFECTIVE WORKER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-What one man can do in promoting good roads was emphatically demonstrated by Senator John II. Bankhead, chairman of the senate committee on postoffice4 and post roads, in the recent road trip over the Washington Atlanta leg of the Bankhead highway. which ulti- mately will extend from Washington to the Pacific coast.
 Though the father of the federal aid road act is in his seventy sixth year. he talked day in and day out during the round trip, until he had accumu- lated speech making total in excess of a hundred President IT. S. Flow man of the Bankhead Highway asso- ciation is another who has exceeded fhrce score and ten and his record Of educational talks nearly equaled that of his fellow Alabaman.
 These two made the journey from Washington 10 Atlanta in a car driven by President IT, M. Rowe of the Amer jean Automobile association. who not only sat at the wheel day after day. but also contributed convincing argu- ment in favor of the linking together of the great highway through tho sun ny southland. Secretary J. A. Roun- Nf' 'A tue IpdiNlSetu I1lBuWdN aSSO- ciation served as the accelerator of the expedition.
 In city after city and town after town, and not forgetting numerous cross roads of the country store vari- ety, there was an uninterrupted chain of enthusiasm, expressed in bounteous hospitality, parades of school children and all sorts of meetings Senator Bsnkhead predicted that if the pres ent partnership between the national government and the several states pro- duced real roads that will weld the country together. it would he possible at the expiration of the five year period during which the $75.OO0. 900 is ex. pended to obtain yearly appropria

.COMF FORT JAR ~|S MAKING DEBUT ID
 MOTORING PUBLIC

The comfort car, as it's makers de- signate the new Hupmobile Series ''R,' is now on exhibition in five hundred cities, including the local show rooms of the Babbitt- Poison company, hay ing been announced to the public for the first time November 18th. It is a light car although by no means small one Its wheel base is 112 inches, but it's tonneau is equally as large and
 it's driving compartment is actually longer than in the preceding model.
 The new car is distinctly a Hupmo- bile, yet there is about it such a degree of individuality that motorists may not immediately appreciate the family re- semblance. The windshield has been santed and a slightly sloping speed line from back of rear seat to top of radiator is incorporated in the body design The color is "HupmObile" blue, somewhat lighter than in previous models. The hood, lenders and run ming gear remain black as before. By means of the perfected Hfloco" pro- cess now in use in the Hupmobile fac 1 tory, an absolutely uniform finish of | high luster and extreme durability has l been attainod.
 l The term comfort car" is derived | primarily from the unusual degree of | riding and driving comfort produced ! by improved cushions and seat con- struction. spring suspension and un- usal ease of all control operations. But that comfort in this case has also a much wider application is instantly ap- parent It is needless to emphasize the fact that appearance. performance, economy of operation, and durability are all comfort qualities when viewed from the standpoint of mental satis- faction.

been worked out along the lines sp- proved by MT. A. C. Bedford of the petroleum board at Washington, who suggested in a late bulletin a twenty per cent reduction in the consumption of gasoline as not only a desirable but necessary mark for all automobile makers to aim at during the coming year. Pre- heating of air before it reaches the carburetor, heating to in- sure perfect justification between the carburetor and cylinders. adjustments to obtain the leanest possible mixture and the assurance of a fat hot spark at ordinary driving speeds, are four of the major points emphasized by MT Bedford These points have been amply and adequately covered by the builders of the Series R" A stove for warming the air before it reaches the carburetor, a completely heat -jacketed intake F. ld, an adjustable carbu- retor teSt generator ignition, are -s of the new Hupmo- bile s combined with the reduct udred pounds in the weight give slightly more than 24 ls,. cduction in fuel con- sumption in ...- new model over pre- vious models.
 On the score of durability and gem eral sturdiness of construction, al- though the necessary test of time i. lacking, 1t is safe to say that the Hupp Motor Car corporation would not put out car that would fall below the high material and manufacturing standards which they themselves had so much to do with establishing in the automobile business.
 A fifteen per cent better performer on all points than the immediately pre- ceding Hupmobile model is the some what startling assurance given by the manufacturers concerning the Series R Yet with the motor showing a horse power only slightly less than the previous motor and q car six hundred pounds lighter, increased performing ability is undoubtedly possible.

 All locomotive building records have been broken by the achievements of the last few weeks Only two years ago the concern pointed with pride to it's record of thirty locomotives a month. In the next few months, going at the present rate. it is expected that more than 225 month will be turned out. These are all large engines of the consolidated type.
