Did the Same for Motors.
Certainly if the war made men At
emergencies, it did the same for mo-

army cars withstand: what fearful
roads i have watched them travel.
And these same roads, once upon a
time. were the Joy of the motor tour

"Of course, all the French roads
have not been ruined by shell holes:
but as a young chauffeurette naively
told me once. You have to mind your
ups and downs And the way some of
the lighter cars got over those ups
and downs was nothing short of
miraculous.

by paintings of armies with their
horses. / fancied that the fighting
man and his steed were inevitable and
inseparable in war. When / got to
France l discovered that the modern
soldiers steed was the motor, and
somehow the bond between them
seemed as human as in the old-time,
paintings. Question any of the men
or women who drove cars in the war
and you Will be told that the motor
was more to them than a mere ma
chine. Chauffeurettes have told me
in all seriousness that their motors
displayed human intelligence and su-
perhuman responsiveness. Why, nine
out of ten drivers l met lavished the
same affection on their cars that you
give your companion dog. And this
parallel Is weak, unless your dog
happens to have helped you in a life
and death conflict.
Motor a Powerful Friend.
This war seemed to vest every
thing-except German infiuence-with
human feeling. Anything. as well as
anyone, that helped the allies was a
friend. Now the motor was a pow
erful friend indeed: and after l had
been in the war country few months

HAS ONLY STARTED

According to figures recently COM
piled in Washington" said T. w.
Cushing. general sales manager Of
the Maibohm Motors Company, San
dusky, Ohio, "only one-eighth of the
public roads in the United States have
been improved. The total length of
these roads is 2.47S.552 miles. of
which 299,135 miles are improved
with some form of surfacing. A large
portion of this mileage is, however,
composed of land, clay, gravel or
water-bound macadam, much of which
is proving inadequate for present-day
traffic.
I'm 1914 the several State highway
departments directed the expenditure
of s16,343,00O for maintenance. In
1917 this amount had increased to
S27, 649. 900, and in 1918 il reached
s34.974,oOs Based on complete re-
ports from forty-four States the cash
expenditures on the rural roads and
bridges in the past year amounted to
$3.50. 09S, 1913.
This increase is due in part TO
the heavier traffic and rising prices of
labor and mat erials. and in part to
the growing tendency to centralize
control of all important highway
work under competent State author
tiles.
so far the Good Roads Movement
is but in it's infancy. All the i'm
petus it has received has been given
to it by the demands Of the rapidly
growing army of motor car and mo-
tor truck owners. What has been
done in this regard will be repeated
in the future in an even greater de-
gree"

Popular appeal was made to the

These courses are open to all per-

not essential to enter the short
