MONDAY luncheon where he was the

Governor Robertson made reference to
The Daily .Oklhoman and scored that
paper for its peculiar attitude toward
highway improvement in oklahoma.
In his remarks regarding the commits
sion to be appointed by him for the
handling of the good roads fund and
work in the event of the voting of the

ENGLISH FIRM TO MAKE
AUTO OUT OF WASTE AND
SELL IT FOR $3.50, MAYBE

London, April 23.-(Correspondenc
of the Associated Press,) Am English
manufacturing company announces
that it is preparing to put on the market
an automobile that can be retaied for
$3.50, certainly for not more than $500.
Scarcely any wood will be used in the
construction of the car. the principal
material being a new substance which
is described as "a kind of concrete.
light but strong and durable, produced
from waste material such as Stag, clink-
ers and sawdust and covered with
metal solution"
The process of manufacture is another
innovation in England. All parts, in
Guiding wheels and chasis, will be
stamped out, each complete in one
piece, and then fitted together.
The manufacturers expect to com
pete with the cheap American cars
because tax and freight charges are
expected to raise the price of tn Amerl-
can article considerably above the figure
asked from the United States buyers"
