EXPERTS SHOULD DIRECT
HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION

with hundreds of millions of dollars
available for road construction and
other millions of dollars worth of motor
equipment made available to the state
highways department through the dis
position of the surplus equipment of
the war department to them, the time
has come when we should look o
us and see what we are doing to pros
vide for an intelligent direction of this
great effort, = said Royal N, Scott, mem-
Der of the highways committee of the
national automobile chamber of COM
merce.
'It has been pointed out" continued
Mr.. Scott. ''that some 10, 900 college,
trainedl men will be needed for that
part OF our program which refers chief
~ to federal aid work. In addition to
this, we have to consider the needs OF
5000 county forces and OF a large mum
Der Of municipalities ranging from
towns Of 5000 Inhabitants to our .argcst
cities.
obviously this question is one which
requires administration of a high order
II we are to have intelligent expendi~
ture of these funds. One OF the troubles
with the road movements in the United
States in the past has been that we
lave been inclined to look upon II too
much as a matter for ordinary hand
labor.
"Those who have had much to do
WITH highways KNOW mat Ine highway
engineer must be as much of a trained
man as any other engineer. He must
be able to locate roads properly, must
know all about material which is to
go under the roads, must be something
Of a financier In order to maintain
equilibrium between his construction,
administration, operation and main
be a man Of well-rounded-o lou educa-
ton.
In the future he may even come to
be known as a highway economist
rather than simply as a highway en-
gineer since two of the most vital
problems which confront us are those
Of location with regard to economic
usage and study of the character and
quantity and volume of ~traffice which
will be generated by the improvement
Of the highways.
In order to provide men of this char
acter, it would be necessary for most
of our universities to round out their
courses very considerably. Further to
ssure them Of sufficient interest on
the part OF their students to make such
courses worth while, one Of the steps
which we should take is to raise high
way engineering to the dignity which
should belong, to it by making the sal
which the man will have to make to
obtain II.
1.-THE more quickly we come to a point
Of paying large enough salaries to at
tract the best men, the more quickly
will we cut down the large losses which
invariably result when unskilled men
attempt to ha ndle scientific problems
such as those involved in highway con
struction.
Under the provisions of the Town
send measure now before congress, the
federal highway commission which will
be placed in charge of a national high
way system will be required to make
a thorough study into the PRINCIPLES
governing transportation. and It is my
hope that in applying these principles
they Will seek to have our colleges take
! an active interest in the problem"

HERE IS HOW CORD
TIRES ARE EVOLVED

Just what is a cord tire and why are
cord tires so superior to fabric tires
that tires OF cird construction are slow
ly but surely showing fabric tires out
Of public favor2
These are questions, says the United
States Tire company. that are OF inter-
est TO every tire-user who cares any
thing about the cost OF his tires. The
sutomobiist who wants his tires to
give him the most miles for the fewest
dollars is interested In knowing what a
cord tire is and why the cord tire con-
struction may he expected TO give far
better service than a fabric tire,
The intelligent motorist is interested
In knowing why Il Is that II a car rolls
down a hill under its own momentum IL
will 60 many feet farther II equipped
with cord tires than on fabric tires, He
Is interested In knowing why n journey
on cord tires is more comfortable than
on other tires, and why the cord tires
are less likely to skid than those of the
fabric construction.
When the average motorist thinks OF
a tire he usually thinks of rubber. and
rubber only. When he looks at a tire
all he sees is rubber, anC it is natural
for him to assume that on the quality
and durability of the rubber depends the
strength of the tire. But deep in the
heart of the tire Is a carcass built up,
layer upon layer. Of tough cotton, and II
Is on the strength OF this inner carcass
Of cotton that the tire must rely for Its
real strength.
In making a cord tire, each of the
cords Is thoroughly im~pregnated with
rubber, and each is insulated with rub
Der. so that there Is no direct contact
Of auV pnrd with ito n0iuhbOrg. IaNRT
after layer Of these cords is built up,
each layer being placed at snch an angle
with the layers above and beneath
that when all are welded together In
the %vulcanizer, they make a solid piece
which 1t is impossible to pull or twist
apart.
A very interesting feature connected
with the use of cord tires Is that they
require on an average OF five pounds
less air pressure than fabric tires. This
lower pressure makes them softer and
much more comfortable to ride on.
In the so-oalled fabric tires this a
cass Is made up OF layers of closely.
woven cotton fabric. The threads which
go into this fabric are tough and stout
and make a fabric which Is so strong
that the casual observer would be tusti.
fled in believing that D could not be i'm,
proved upon as a material out OF which
TO construct the tire foundation, -
Cord construction does away with thu
cross threads In the construction OF 9
tire, When a Royal Cord tire Is built
one layer after another OF cords II
built into the carcass, In each layer thu
cords lie side by side and u in the

of the cords is about as thick and fully
as strong as a stout piece OF fish cord
