Motors and Motorists

"Twenty-eigh million tires are now
yearly necessary to equip the passenger
automobiles and motor trucks in use
IN the United States. To this should
be added not less than 10000, 900 more
tires, for many vehicles accumulate
mileage to such an extent that second
set OF shoes is necessary, TO say moth
ing of the thousands of inner tubes.
Forty million tires and their inner
tubes at an average cost of S25 gives a
total tire bill of 81 900, 600, ,OO0-a fairly
tidy annual expenditure for road travel
and transportation. Hence it is high
time to pay little more attention to
the effect of the various road surfaces
on the motor vehicle instead of con-
siderlng only the damage by the motor
vehicle to the road" says NJ. o. FL
bridge, director of roads of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association. "You can
scarcely pick up paper without seeing
IN 1T something about how and why the
last moving passenger car and the
loaded motor truck damage the road.
and as you read on you note how the
writer proposes to design highway to
Withstand these effects, and how speed
and weights should be limited and how
the cost burden should be distributed.

Mercier's Thanks for
L0uuain Library Plan

Cardinal Mercier, Primate of Bel
gium, in signed statement ad-
dressed to the American people,
expressed his thanks yesterday for
the national movement to build and
equip a 100000 library at the Uni
versity of Louvain. The statement
read:
~ was deeply gratined when I
heard that the National Committee
of Restoration of the University Of
Louvain had started a public sub
scriTion to raise funds for the re-
construction of my beloved library,
burned to ground, together with all
the treasures it contained, by the
German army.
"As have often said in public, the
annihilation of the Louvain Library
and the utter exhaustion of the uni
versity's funds. leaving it to face
~ almost hopeless situation, is per-
haps my greatest sorrow and my
greatest anxiety. From this all those
who will hold out q helping hand to
me will readily guess how heartily
thankful I will be to them
81 wish to add that I cmphatically
consider Louvain University to be
the strongest bulwark Of social order
and Christianity in Belgium; that
its revival is essential to the moral
reconstruction of my dear country.
"The reconstruction of Louvain
University and its library will be a
very monument to the generosity
of the American people and their
lively interest in scientific progress."

from Representative

SCISSORS AND PASTE.
An Unfriendly legislature?
(Yorkville Enuuirer.)

The constitution OF the state con-
assembly OF not more than forty
days. Either that or the constitution
was dishonest. The general assem-
bly,, ever since the adoption of the
constitution OF 1895 has fritterei
away quite a lot of working time. II
is not too much to say that half NJ
the early part OF each session is
wasted. The members take a lump
sum for their forty days service.
and there is no allowance for pay
after the forty days are up. The
people who manipulate the legisla-
ture understand that the best way TO
get through ill-considered legislation
is over men who are impatient 10 get
home. When there is the added fact
that not only are there large num-
ber OF men tired and impatient to
get home; but their overtime is at
their own expense. their impatience
is all the greater. The manipulators
understand this too. That is why no
important legislation is ever con-
cluded in the early days OF the ses-
sion. The sessions are purposely
prolonged so the manipulators may
take advantage Of the general impa-
tience. That is why in the closing
days OF an expired session it is so
easy to pass laws which would have
been impossible in the early DAYS OF
the session The thing is all the
easier when all the manipulators are
colloguing together and there is no
able opposition 70 flibuster and talk
Objectionable legislation to death.

but to say that the Legislature IS
really representative OF the peor'e
OF South Carolina or even friendly
TO the people, is simply bosh.

AN EXTRA SESSION SEEMS M
PERATIEE.

The probability of an extra session
OF the South Carolina legislature is
more and more apparent as the days
pass. The pigeonholiug of some
important bills and the subsequent
lapse OF memory concerning them
wherein they failed OF ratification is
one cause: the complete fall-down of
good roads legislation. cause No. .,
and the cotton situation. cause No. 8
1t is. OF course. a question
whether Governor Cooper will con

the uncertainty as to whether the
extra session would do any better
than the regular session. The rati-
