AUTO CLUB TO SHOW
 MOTION PICTURES FOR
 GOOD ROAD CAMPAIGN
Striking Film, Produced by U. s. Govt. to be Seen
 In Bisbee Soon

Perhaps the greatest problem fac ing the American public today is the betterment of the nations system of highways. Evidence of this iles in the governments vast interest in the several campaigns which have been started to arouse the public to a reali- zation of their neglect.
 One of the most important steps in this campaign has been the introduc- tion of motion picture film on Good Roads, which has received the SUD- port of practically every government al official who is interested in the movement. This film will be shown ill this city at the Eagles theater within a few days under the auspices of M. W. Powell, secretary of the Warren District Automobile club.
 It was produced by the industrial department of the Universal Film Manufacturing company, under the personal direction of Harry Levey, manager of that department, and with the hearty support of MT. Carl Laem- mle, president of the company. It was made at the request of Winsor T. White, head of the White Motor company, of Cleveland.
 Its message is so startingly trans mitted, and so strikingly impressive, that many important national, state and municipal officials have given it their heartiest support Among these are Francis M. Hugo, secretary Of state of New York; Chas. Henry Davis, president of the National High ways association; Austin F. Bement, vice president of the Lincoln Highway association; Lee Lamar Robinson, of the highway transport committee of the council of national defense; G. P. Coleman, chairman of the American Association of State Highway off cials; V. D. L. Robinson, secretary of the Dixie Highway association.
 In a letter to MT. Levey, MT. Robin son said in part:
 No greater thing can be acccom- plished for this nation at the preesnt time than to visualize, as you pro- pose to do in your campaign to the entire American people, the need of development of highways transport to its fullest extent. We would be very pleased, indeed, to cooperate with you in the furtherance of your campaign"
 Officials who are boosting the Good Roads film are firm believers in the theory that highways transport proved its right to place of equality with the rail and water ways of the nation, during the war. It is held that highways transport should be given corner of the transportation trinity in the mind of the American people, and the film campaign start ed by Universal helps to bear this message.
 Among the men prominent in high way improvement movements who are interested in the motion picture campaign is c. P. Coleman, chairman of the American Association of State officials. He has taken a personal interest in the success of the film drive and has expressed him. self as follows:
 My association will be glad to CO operate with your department in every way possible. I would suggest that you get in touch with the high way commissioners in each state. They, I am sure, will be glad to lend their cooperation"
 With the sanction and support of the various officials who have seen 1t, this production will be made the ob- ject of a nationwide campaign in theaters and before various other or Universal will give it the full benefit of its large distribu-
