FROM WAR TO PEACE
IN MOTOR INDUSTRY
Automobile Trade Did More Than
Its Bit to Help Win War.
Fleet Of American Trucks Coming In.

tion Facilities Needs Services
Of Released Soldiers.

AS single industry the automobile
trade did more than its bit TO helm win
the war. Not only did manufacturers
come up to specifications in quantity
and quality of delivery, but they built
better than 1t was thought they knew
how. Proof Of this was given the 9TH
er day when, at an auction of old army
cars in France, the French and the
English bid higher prices for the cars
than they cost the American govern
ment new. An army of men was en-
ployed to run these trucks and cars
on the firing line. They gained more
experience In month of that sort Of
work than they could have gained in
lifetime Of peace work.
The rolling stock will be left abroad,
but the men are coming back. They
are being released daily from the mill
tary service, and are returning In large
numbers to civilian life. There is no
lack OF work for them to do. For the
fleet OF American trucks now coming
into use for additional transportation
facilities all over the country needs Just
such men-men who have learned how
to act in any emergency, who feel al
most Immediately the idiosyncrasies of
every motor, who have acquired an eff
cheney under shell fire that will make
them leaders in their work In peace
times.
Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the
secretary of war, who is in charge of
the unemployment work for ex-service
p'en, announces that number of such
men, are now available. for private en-
ploy. The automobile industry WIN
not lose this opportunity of obtaining
nen who, to their pre-war ability, have
ADDED the exceptional training and ex-
perience Of months on the firing line.
These men will be In demand, and can
be obtained through governmental and
welfare employment agencies. who will
put them In touch with employers who
need their services.

"After the most exhaustive compar-

reason that 1t would travel at nearly

where-ths fall are the most satisfac-
tory that have been presented for
many seasons. They reflect the at
tributes Of young glrlhood--or at any
rate the attributes we like to find In
young girls. These frocks are sturdy,
simple, quite plain, very neat and prac-
tice much restraint In the matter OF
trimmings. They clothe the immature
figure to the best advantage and are
calculated to educate their young
wearers In the fitness of things, the
suiting of clothes to occasions and to
youth. The designers Of dress for
misses and junior misses are not al

Its Importance. They are careful TO
prescribe what may be worn by the

made a good choice easy this fall.

.ROAD
BUILDING
BOND ISSUE is BIG PROBLEM
Best Means t. Pull Counties Out Of
Land Of Mud-Make All Improve
ments Permanent.

The biggest single issue before the
people today is good roads; biggest
not alone Of itself, but biggest be-
cause the prompt and satisfactory so
lution OF permanent road system in
every state will help to solve a half
dozen fundamental problems and in
directly affect for good. as well as IN
dollars and cents. almost every phase
Of farm, social and industrial life in
the state. We cannot expect to have
a real system Of roads unless 1t is
based on large urits and this is best
accomplished by accepting the county
and state basis with few experienced
and responsible men in charge In each
case. We must have roads that begin
and end somewhere.
Many counties are presenting to the
taxpayers the question of a bond Issue
for the improvement of their high
ways. The bond issue for a public
Improvement should be governed by
the same considerations which govern
D bond issue by any business organiza-
ton. When a manufacturing concern
issues bonds, the money raised is
placed In permanent improvements in
the plant which will last far beyond
the life of the bonds, or else no in
vestor would purchase the securities.
Bonds for municipal purposes or for
public improvements are not always
subjected to this acid test, and in
stances are numerous In this country
where bonds for twenty years have
been issued for the construction of
public roads. where the type Of roads
built with the proceeds of the bond
issue could not possibly last more than
ten years, and even then expensive
maintenance is continually necessary.
In some instances history shows that
during the life of such a bond issue
the original road has been worn out
and rebuilt with a different material,
and with the proceeds Of subsequent
bond issues as many as three times,
and still the original bonds are q liza
bility on the community.
Bond issues for better roads are the
best means to pull counties out of the
Land Of Mud. But II must be certain
that the road improvements win last
the life Of the bonds. This can be as
sured by securing expert and unpreju.

kind Of roads for the soil. The bank.

CLEARANCE FOR INLET VALVE

and Consequently Do Not
Expand as Much.

Inlet valves do not run as hot as
exhaust valves and consequently do
not expand as much. For this reason
less clearance is allowed between the
stems and pushrods Of mechanically
operated inlet valves than is allowed

COST OF VARIOUS HIGHWAYS
Macadam Road 10 Most Expensive, But
When Built is Satisfactory and
Permanent.

Dirt roads are ordinarily surfaced
with sand, mixed with clay or with
gravel, or brick, or crushed stone, con-
crete or other like material. The gray
el road will cost from $500 to $500
a mile-the difference in cost depend
ing upon the accessibility Of gravel.
The macadamized road costs from ST.
900 to $4,000 per mile. 1t is the most
expensive, but when well built is both
satisfactory and permanent.
