Course In Road Transport to
lts Students.

One Of the most farreaching devel-
opments to place our national high
way system on a sound. uniform and
economical basis is the recent an
nouncement by President II. r. Hutch
ins that the University of Michigan
will offer a course in highway trans
port to its students. says the b. IT.
Goodrich Rubber company.
The significance of highway freight
transportation was vividly brought to
light by the war and is now recognized
as much a part of our shipping and
communication scheme as are the rail-
roads and the steamship lines.

Redfield recently put It, You might

never was sounder investment In
the world than money expended In
the building Of good roads. The
Romans had learned that 1000 years
ago. and they built their roads so well
that some Of them are used yet.
Certainly one Of the surest ways to
reduce the high cost Of living Is to
build more good roads. And the build
