Doings in the Auto World
James Gordon Bennett Pioneer of Good Roads Movement-Washinston's h. ereasing Traffic Problem-Motor Truck Versus Railroad.

In the death of James Gordon Ben nett the Good Roads movement so vii tai to all automobflists and of the primest importance to the country in time of war loses one of it's pioneers. It was largely through the efforts of MT. Bennett fhat the Dixie High way came into being. In speaking of MT. Bennett's interest in automobile affairs the New York Herald said:
 In the promotion of airplane and automobile development MT. Bennett early Tealized that the evolution of speed And then of mom speed was not the sole fesideratum. The touring automobile enthusiast is as much or more his debtor than is the racing specialist. He did not overlook the importance of durability and the gen eral improvement and standardization
 of types. He understood perfectly that good roads must be a requisite to the popularization of American auto mobiling, and also that good roads would be an incalculable boon to the American farmer and manufacturer in facilitating the hauling of their prod ucts to the market or the rail. He knew what good roads are, for he had toured much through France. He was familiar, too, with bad roads, for he knew many miles of that kind in America
 MT. Bennett, in collaboration with the Atlanta Journal, few years ago spent many thousands of dollars through the Herald in an enterprise into which the element of racing en- tered not at all Its primary purposes were to encourage automobile tour ing, to develop the qualities of relia- bility rather than speed in American cars, and, more than all the rest, to awaken the South and stimulate that section of the country to the con struction of good roads. The imme- diate result was the opening up of the National Highway between New York and Atlanta, after the practical tryout of many possible routes, the marking of the highway with durable steel and enamellel signboards and the travers- ing of it in successive years by the largest number of cars and tourists that ever had engaged in an American tour. more than seventy cars and three hundred persons taking part success fully in a delightful run over more than eleven hundred miles of smooth hard roadway.
 The indirect results-far more i'm. pertant and lasting-were that within year or two thereafter, so great ha6 been the stimulus of this missionay! work and the preaching of the goot roads gospel through the Southland counties either traversed by the high. way or in sections not remote from i had voted many millions of dollars il

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS WILD.
The Result of Many Conflicting De
 velopments of the Session.

New York, May 27.-Stocl1s were tossed to and fro today, their con fusing course keeping pace with the many conflicting and interesting de-. velopments of the session.
 The net result left an imposing ar ray of losses, these ranging from two to ten points among industrials, equipments, shippings and specialties and one to three points among rails.
 Transportation stocks were clearly disposed to strengthen at the open ing, in consequence of the increased freight and passenger rates ordered by Director General McAdoo, but made only slight progress when it be- came known that President Wilson would submit his views on revenue legislation to congress.
 An additional deterrent was offered by the war bulletins which convey ed the impression of a resumption of the German drive in force along an important sector held by French and British troops.
 At no period until the finaa hour when the full text of the presidents message was available, did the market manifest more than moderate irregu- larity or the selling attain unusual proportions.
 Consideration of it's import result ed in hurried liquidation Rallies ot the mid-sess' on were swept away and speculative favorites broke violent ly.
 United States Steel registered ar extreme loss of three points, but ir such mercurial issues as Midvale Steel. Baldwin Locomotive, Industria | Alcohol, Marine preferred, Colorado Fuel and Atlantic Gulf recessions ex. | tended from four to ten points. Sales amounted to 935,000 shares.

potent to judge, estimate that within five years after the war shall end, this number will exceed 100000 and that nothing can stop this great economic movement except the failure (which would be a national calamity to build hard surfaced roads of ade- quate strength, to carry. the greatest tonnage at the higher speed that will be required.
 we need and should have at once, created and empowered by proper l legislation, a strong, independent Fed eral Highway Department, adequately supplied with money and broad dis | cretionary powers over it's ex- penditure. so organized that it would make thorough survey of motor truck transportation requirements, and dictate to state, county and township nuits, upon what roads their money should be expended. Small censurer however, can be laid on these road constructing units for our lack of connecting highways, for no machinery has been provided to enable them to CO operate with each other efficiently l There are thousands of interneo enemy aliens and federal prisoners now idly wasting their time as wards of the government, or devoting 1t to pastimes or ineffective labor, selected 1 by their individual preferment, who might in this crisis, be assisting in speeding up Americas transportation and war time efficiency"
 The Liberty motor has won the con- l hdence of one of it's most severe crit 1 ics. The man who has put his stamp of approval on this much discussed engine is E. Le Roy Pelletier, of De- troit, widely known as an advertising 1 man, but also an expert engineer. He built one of the first air cooled auto mobiles and for three years was con- sulting engineer for Henry Ford. MT. Pel1etier announced his conversion at
 the Hotel Knickerbocker last week after arriving from Dayton, Ohio,
 where. he made a flight of more than an hour in an army airplane equipped
 with Liberty motor.
 'T'll admit that I was pretty free
 with my criticism before I went to l Dayton" said MT. Pelletier, "but now
 I am not only convinced that the Lib
 erty motor will do, but I firmly believe
 it will climb higher and move faster
 than any foreign machine in the world. Its designers are to be congratulated
 on the wonderful results they have ob-
 tained. The Liberty plane is the best
 all around machine the world has pro- QuCeQ AIneT1CdH dVlduon SApSl lS dlo
 sure that with the latest type car
 buretor the Liberty will be able to reach an altitude of 33.000 feet.
 During my trip we attained an al-
 titude of 15,O00 feet and reached a
 speed of 1S0 miles an hour. Other 7 tests have been made in which the
 Liberty climbed 21.S00 feet in fifty
 minutes against the former Ameri- ) can record of 16.000 feet in three
 hours. It also has climbed 10000 feet ) in seven minutes twelve seconds. . Another advantage of the Liberty motor, Mir Pelletjer said, was that it : did not have to use any special castor
 oil for it's fabrication, any good com mercial oil ,ansyering the purpose. Many a man who howls at pain i'm , agines theat he suffers in silence.
