For Easter Holiday
1T atlantic City


ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. April 19.-
Most of the thousands of New Workers
whose presence will give the Board
walk a metropolitan, as we'll as a cos
mopoitan, appearance tomorrow al
ready have arrived and arc tucked away
in the big hotels or enjoying the lively
Boardwalk affairs Of Easter Eve, but
late arrivals from less sophisticated
communities are having their own
troubles to secure quarters. In the
emergency Mayor Bacharach and Chief
of Police Miller have opened an infor
nation bureau of empty rooms in the
City ~IIall, and every patrolman and
traffic man has beer instructed to
direct the baggage laden seekers after
lodging to the nearest hotel or board
ing house which may have rooms still
vacant. In the big hotels. too. room
clerks and managers are assisting by
directing would-be patrons to smaller
houses as yet untitled, and there is
hope that all who come will be accom-
modated and able to remain for the
big Boardwalk style show tomorrow.
Extra cars on extra trains have been
taxed 10 the limit for two days to carry
the arrivals, and with the added influx
OF tomorrow something like 200 900
promenaders are expected to be on
hand at noon.
Those who have settled the hotel
problem are giving most OF their atten-
ton to the weather prospects for to-
morrow No day in the year rests as
does Easter on weather conditions for
full and unqualified success Air
plane Will spin over the Boardwalk
and the breakers, adding q thrill for
the spectators.
However tomorrow may turn out,
tonight the crowd is taking time by
the forelock and securing the creates
pleasure possible out OF every passing
hour. Mere seats in the smart Board
walk cafes and restaurants have SCARED
AZ price to something like the figures
OF Broadway cabarets on New Years
Eve, while every pier, theatre and
other amusement place is thronged to
the legal and physical limit. People
or Philadelphia and New FORK are al

where the gay lads of the Mask anC
Wig Club of the University of Penn
sylvanla are disportIng in their new
show, which is arranged as d revue
of their former productions. All tn,
prominent hotels have special dance
and musical events, while the cottage
colony in the house party zone is gay
with affairs given for the members OF
the younger set. A special dance a
the Chelsea, and Il number of dining
parties in the submarine grille of the
Traymore, the rathskeller OF the Ala

ers are among the events which at
tract the New York visitors.

How Opposition to Federal
 Highways System Collapsed Questions Which Have Been Settled and Laid Away, as
 Support for Plan Has Gradually Strengthened

of federal appropriations in these days ot motor travel and transportation can never be termed as pork barrel expenditure, for the benefits are so immediate and far reachug as 10 be utterly inconsistent 4t.n what results from customary pork barrel outlays. It is necessary, therefore, merely to frame the federal measure to '"~H~a building the right roads and to build them right to remove any taint of pork barrel.
 Paternalisni' is a term loosely used. but if it is to be regarded as describing policy Fundamentally uusound, it must be used to mean the doing of those things hy the federal government which the states and localities could do better for themselves If under this definition a rurelr local highway is to be built, the federal government would he paternalistic
 itsef this purely local duty. If, on the other hand; the federal -o,ufnaueu Huuerloo> to build q high way used by several counties or states and requiring a type of construction be- vend the means of any single local unit. this federal action would not be paternal- isrIc, nuC would be merely q recognition of a duty which had become national in character
 Those who view with alarm see in the building of system of federal high ways by the federal government an un- limited invitation to states and counties to make a raid on the national treasury

Washington, April 5.-''When President Wilson, July H. 1916. approved the federal aid road act. and a consequent federal appropriation of $S5. .o0O,O00" 1" says President David Jameson of the American Autonlo- bile association, the long controversy over the constitutionality of federal high way appropriations, for all practical ptlr- poses, was settled. Congress again, lin the closing days of the recent session. by another appropriation of S209 ,001,0o0, em- phasized the laying away of this Quts- tion of constitutional powers It's further discussion must, therefore, be classed as academic.
 When 4S states assented through their legislatures to the federal highway meas ure. they buried that further disturher known as states rights so far as it had any bearing upon federal participation in highway improvement. Any national highway act, the benefits of which may be had only when the state legislature assents to the federal measure. success fully meets any contention that the fed eral government is invading the rights of the state.

and an indscriminh hte scramble to have all highways included in the federal syS- tenn These alarmiE Ets also have visions of states and cot mites, holding their arms, so to speak, and waiting for the federal government to build their high ways.
 "These alarmist Niews take no account of the fact that a I Eational highway sys- tenn would be based upon the fundamental premise that only main highways meet ing q given standa I'd of importance and limited to a giveh percentage Of the totak mileage woui1l be included m the federal system They overlook the fact that the federal me assure could call upon the states to bu.rJ an equivalent mile age of secondary rdads to form an auto- matic check upon tHe demands for federal appropriations. TaeE overlook the further fact that with federa system probably not exceeding pdr cent Of the total mileage, the states in view. of the enor- nous requirements of local traffic, could not adopt any policy of folding arms and waiting while they neglected the other 9S per cent
 Except for the amusement of those who love to argue tflese questions of con stitutionality, 'statfs' rights. pork bar rel and paternalism m, they may be con sidered as laid on the shelf. The federal government is com lmitted to appropria- tons for highwayH; the state govern ments are in accord with an active fed eral policy; the only question of real im- portance relates to 1he form in which the federal highway policy can most prac- tically benefit the lhation."

The average motorist. despite his con stant endeavor to decrease his tire up. keep cost frequently overlooss one or the most important long mileage factors. according to some of the tire experts of Akron where most of the tires are manufactured Rum neglect, they say, is just as scr,ous a ire menace as low grade rubber or defective fabric.

 "A bent rim, for example. has ruined many tires under 5gJ miles of service when that same tire would have run six or seven thousand miles if proper atten- ton had been paid to the rim. reads the statement, which is being sent out bv the Miller Rubber company The bend in the rim caused break m the tire just above the bead-such break is most destructive and costly
 Loose demountable rims also cause a lot of tire trouble, it not watched care fully" continues the statement. When one of the wedges becomes loose the rim starts working and gradually the other wedges become loose. A creeping rim is the result and the valve stem bears the whole strain until it finally pulls off. Furthermore those wedges are often frightened up uneVeuly. This ends in what is referred to as a 'wobbly' tire and the tread is worn out prematurelN. At other times. motorists pound both the rim and the tire with a hammer to get the rim off or on. The pounding of the rim doesn't do any particular harm, un- less it bends the rim, but every blow on the tire may cause a fabric break and that is very serious
