NeV Highway Measure
AdvOcateS Creation of
Federal Roadway Body

, system Of State highways. A number
OF these highways are designated by
law and have been laid down by the
Legislatures, and are not always the
roads recommended by the State
highway departments. Even these
roads are being constantly changed
at each meeting OF the Legislatures,
so that the system as now laid down
will not be the system as nnally con-
structed. Many OF the roads as laid
out in the State systems on which
Federal aid is being expended, should
not and never will be classified as ma
tional highways. but they constitute
a large portion of the mileage OF the
plans that have been approved as a
general State system. and on which
there has already been granted Fed
era aid.
Work Of Many Years
1T will take many years to COM
plete these State systems under the
Federal aid allotment, and at the
present rate Of construction it will
be at least fifty years before there
viii be connected up a few roads in
all the States approaching a national
system, and at least 100 years before
the entire State systems have been
completed And built up so as to form
a general system OF roads from which
a reasonable national system could be
established.
1--WE have seen the road work Of the
country expand from the township
unit into the county unit; fror-Ale
county unit into the State aid It;
from the State aid unit to the State
unit: from the State unit to the Fed
eral aid unit. and it is but logical and
reasonable that the final steps should
be taken by establishing a Federal
unit.
Many Of the highway activities of
the States, when they first entered
into road construction, were in CO.
operation with the agricultural de-
partments of the State or agricul-
tural colleges, but it was soon found
by experience that as this work ex-
banded and grew 1t became so i'm
portant that it was necessary to pro-
vide an independent unit OF the State
government, whose duty IL would be
to look after this one important de-
velopment OF the State
Advocates Commission.
likewise, the day has come when
the road work OF the Federal Gov
eminent should be separated from the
Agricultural Department OF the Gov
eminent and put into the hands of a
strong commission which will devote
its time and energy to this most i'm
poTtant work of the nation, and place
it in the position it should occupy to
be OF the most benefit to the people.
THE advocates Of good roads are
only asking in this national highway
bill that the roads should be put on
an equal footing with the other de-
partments of the Government so that
they can be given proper cOnsidera-
ton and study, for there is no other
pursuit Of the Federal Government
that will develop and bring prosper
ity to the country to a greater ex-
tent, for the money invested. than
the speedy improvement of its i'm
portant highways"

CITY OPPORTUNITY
LIES IN HIGHWAYS

Improved highways Of a permanent
type providing motor express and
passenger transportation facilities
spell opportunity today to the city
which intends to lay the foundation
for a healthy, permanent future
growth.
Improved highways that make
possible rapid motor transportation
365 days out Of every year will just
as certainly permit and stimulate our
people to move out on to the sur
rounding country acres as a fast and
free flowing stream will deliver at
its mouth the piece Of bark flung in
at its source"
These remarks were made by W. o.
Rutherford, vice president of the b
+. Goodrich Rubber Company, at a re g.
cent conference.
"Quite recently our trade extension
division" adds Mr.. Rutherford, com
pleted a survey OF a large county in
one Of our great Eastern States that
has not a single mile OF railroad
track within its borders. Onr object
in making such surveys and conduct
ing such research is to help provide
a market that will extend the field Of
usefulness of products made by the
workers Of America that are indis-
pensable to the life and happiness Of
mankind-and to the strengthening
of our national life This particular
county was isolated, though of great
productive power, and was not hsr-
messed up to the homes of the great
industrial cities OF the East nor as
Stunning its part of the burden in our

such a county, typical OF many
sections Of cur country, offers un-
limited possibilities to greater use
fulness. Adequate provision for i'm
proved roads and highways transpor-
tation will provide a system Of veins
facilitating and stimulating commu-
nication that can be linked up with
main arteries of travel"
J. L. Wacksmuth, local manager of
the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company
at Washington, has again urged in
this connection the great opportunity
before our colleges and universities
for help at this time. He makes the
statement: Throughout the land in
as well as in State assem-
olies, our legislators are at a loss for
scientific data on which this great
Of motor transportation
IAN be guided to the ultimate good of
ALL.
For this reason II becomes IN
important that the col
Ieges here and neighboring States
should provide instruction on high
ways location, construction and main
and on every aspect Of high
ways transportation"

CAREFUL INITIATION OF TIRE

From a prominent newspaper man

vice regarding tire imitation that will
interest every tire user, says the
United States Tire Company.

opinion that the records my tires give

way in which I handle the subject

the same brand of tires that are on
my car, and yet they don't get any

tires that l do.
This is my rule twice a week.

IS some trouble to do this, and there
are many warm days when it seems
like a bother. But l stick to the
practice religiously.
During the period I have been
making these regular tests 1 have
learned some interesting facts. When
l find a tire losing two and one-half
or three pounds regularly, l figure
that something is wrong with the
valve and put a new plunger into the
valve.
when I find the pressure dropping
as much as five pounds right along,
the trouble is almost certainly due
to the development OF a bad spot in
the tube. Experience has proved this
to be the fact so invariably that now,
when I find a tire losing as much as
five pounds regularly, l change the
tube without bothering to find the
exact cauSe Rut in the DAYS when

thing down 1 always found a porous
spot in the tube.
This subject OF imitation has been
harped on so much that it sounds
like a chestnut to most motorists.

MOTOR OPERATION
RATE A SCIENCE

A new field Of opportunity will be
opened to American collegians short
ly through the introduction Of q
course in instruction for motor trans
port CORPS units in the reserve Of
ficers training camps Of the United
States. The course lifts motor truck
operation to the dignity OF science
and in effect will provide thousands
of students with a. knowledge that
will fit them not only for actual
operation of motor units but for en-
trance into the field OF highways
transportation as economists and
men skilled in administration.
Arrangements looking to the inau-
guTatioA Of the work are now under
way by the training branch Of the
Motor Transport Corps OF the War
Department. in Washington
The course is divided into two
broad divisions, that OF military and
non-military. Under the first the stu
dent will be given a grounding in
military work which will carry him
through from elementary subjects to
advanced motor vehicle engineering,
field work, transport corps mainten-
ance, administration, etc.
The second branch includes the
usual basic studies such as mathe-
mates, English, languages. chemis-
try, etc, and manual work consist
ing Of pattern making, forging, shop
work, applied mechanics. machine de-
sign, surveying, thermodynamics and
similar subjects, together with a
study of business law, accounting,
public speaking, foundry work and
a number OF other topics which will
serve to make the student proficient
in the various lines Of endeavor that
are called for in the various branches
OF motor vehicle operation.
In addition to the foregoing Il Is
planned to develop an elective course
which will take into consideration
economic surveys OF territories for
highways transportation operating
costs, road development. finance and
history.
The entire treatment OF the subject
is founded upon a purpose OF prepar-
ing men for possible military service
and at the same time for an attrac-
tive commercial field developed as
one OF the offshoots OF the war.
1t is felt that out of the course
will come a large body OF men equip
ped for efficient development Of high
ways transportation. whose services
will be much sought after by owners
OF motor transport lines and also by
DESTROYS of developing
their high way transportation facili-
ties to the utmost in a sound, bust
ness-like manner.
