FIR e STONE TIRE
AGENT LOOKS FOR
ROAD IMPROVEMENT

The present year promises to be-
a banner year for good roads," says
MIR, Gill, of Philley u Gill.
This movement, the Importance or
which has been partially understood
for q good man years, progressed
steadily, though perhaps not satlsfac-
tOrily, until 1918, when the eXigen-
/ cies of war halted its further extern
tension, just as they halted great
many other advances. And yet it was
/ the war which brought home to US in
q degree never approached before the
/ real significance OF the movement and
our national failure to appIehcnd that
/ Significance.
"Our widespread neglect was
/ brought glaringly to light IN many
ways and on numerous occasions. Our
( arteries of commerce were insuffl-
cient in number and weak in their
construction. The astounding results
achieved by the government in help
| ing the allies to save Europe were
lachieved rather in spite of our high
/ ways than by virtue of them. In one
instance, when it was decided to de
/ liver trains of motor trucks on the
Atlantic seaboard under their own
power, it took the first group eight
days to reach Pitts6urg Good roads
would have reduced the run TO half
the time. The victory at Chateau
Thierly is said to have been made
possible by the successful perform
ance of a motor truck, which, starting
as one of four, was the only one to
arrive at the front, carrying 10000
rounds of ammunition that put the i'm
ishing touches on the American vic
tory. What might four days delay
have meant there?
But now improvements are gong
forward again. The governments OF
the United States--federal, state and
county-are planning to invest so per
cent more in 1919 that has ever been
spent before, and nearly twice as
much as in the year 1917 The en-
actmenU of the Federal Aid Road law
is but one evidence of the govern
ments willingness and determination
to push the matter as 1t deserves. An
elaborate machinery is behind the pro-
ject.
"Such development is necessary. In
order TO provide facilities for the
growth and prosperity of California
bad roads must go. They must dis
appear in a hurry. Rural express

which have so recently startled the
traffic world, and to which H. ST.
Firestone, president Of the Firestone
Tire and Rubber Company, is lending
so powerful an influence, is to attain
a degree of success anything like what
is to be desired, paved highways will
have to become the rule. The begin

SPORTING NOTES.

After the public wrestled with the pronunciation of Jules Goux in 1913 it was all worn out with the fifty seven ways of pronouncing it. Now here's another 500- mile race and right off the bat come such names as GouX, Chas sagne, LeCocq, not to mention the difficulty some of the bugs have with Duesenburg.
 If there is any man in the world to- day who has the accurate dope on the Willard Dempsey fight and is willing to back his dope with his money he can make enough to retire on if his accurate dope is sufficiently accurate Guess all that silence from Barney i Oldfeld out west comes from his working so hard to save up that S1,00C 1 fines imposed by the Three-A's. 1 Some mems idea of heaven will be a | thirty six hole golf course and goli 1 balls selling at 10 cents each. 1 It is safe bet about this time ot
 year more kids are dreaming about leading the big leagues in batting thar ,, dreaming of becoming president. 1 Rabbit Maranville is discharged
 from the navy and will re-enter base i ball. Which reminds one that the Rabbit spent the last year in riding to and from France in the service O his Uncle Samuel.
 Eddie Hearne's entry for the 800 mile race with a Chevrolet Special again raises the specter as to jus

to be arranged is unknown to me. I'm
 betting it will be- though.
 This is contrary to most views, I
 know But here is the way I arrived
 at it. Talked with one of Haughton's
 trusted assistants. He held out that
 the old guard would pass out at liar
 yard and all that sort of business.
 That the former coaches were tired of
 it all and really wanted to give their
 time to growing professions and busi
 ness interests. But when we mad fin
 ished our talk he broke in with sug-
 gestions about the fall.
 We will have to start in at Harvard where we left off in 1916" he said. You see there has really been no foot
 ball since then. We can do nothing else. Football in 1919 will be a dupli- cate of 1916."
 And therein was the story. Harvard coaches of 1916 expect to handle the team this fall. The talk about HaGgh- ton and his advisers and assistants dropping out is nothing more than talk Everything points to this con- clusion, too.
 Harvard coaches have it in the back of their heads that 1919 is to be a Ian ner year. They know Sharpe's meth ods and think that a victory over Yale 1 is more certain than if Tad Jones were coming back And the Princeton affairs does not loom big with Roper coming there as coach after an ab- senice of a few years from the game. 1 All the signs point to victory ;n both 1 big games.
 l So much has been written about ! Harvard and Haughton that a new point Of view is not amiss. Many claim that Haughton owes much of 1 his success to his assistants. One of
 them even claimed as much on one occasion. Here is what happened:
 i When Haughton came to Harvard i1l the fall of 1908, he showed a keen judg- ment in securing Charley Daly, of Harvard and West Point, to coach the backfield; Pop" Graves, of West Point
 to coach the line! and Dave Camp bell, Harvard's captain of the 1901 championship eleven, to coach the ends | These three men rank among the greatest instructors for these various positions that exist today. Graves un-
 doubtedly founded the system of line
 play which has been the foundation O
 Harvard's success.
 I Haughton is inclined to be radical il ]; play. Daly, first, and then Leo Lear. , were the brakes on Haughton, the mel who made him stick to fundamental and keep away from what is termed a. modern football"
 ; As result of valued assistanc
 Haughton made a wonderful success a
 Harvard. It detracts none from hi own ability that he had the good sens to gather around him capable assist : ants. The credit of success goes t , him just the same.
 Harvard's football coaches hold wha may seem an odd view in the matte of which was the strongest Haughtol
 team. They claim that the 1909 clever one of the two to lose to Yale while r D. was coach, was their strongest pro
 duct. Here's the dope from them. That line was the best Harvard eve r produced. Yale gained but one dow: l against it with little support by tn

AVS HAUGHToN WILL AGAIN.
 HEAD CRIMSON AFFAIRS
By SOL METZGER

While there are many surmises re- garding Percy Haughton and whether or not he will coach the Harvard football team this fall it is my belief that Haughton will again be at the head of the Crimson's gridiron af- fairs. But I do not look for a de- cision until well into the summer It will take some time to clear the at mosphere and land Haughton on the job.
 The talk that Haughton has busi- | ness interests which will prevent him resuming control of football is mostly bosh. Haughton was tied up ll pro | fessional baseball and in the sporting i! goods business back in 1916, the last year Harvard had a varsity on the 1 gridiron, but today Haughton is out of
 baseball and well able to mix in the
 strategy of football the coming fall. If anything he should have more time
 than in previous years.
 The delay in securing Haughton is 1 due to the salary to be paid and how
 it is to be produced. While there is a good deal of talk about reducing the
 coaching salaries at the Big Three"
 and of upsetting a lot more in the way of sacred tradition, it is mostly ak.
 The engagement of Sharpe at Yaie is
 not going to change the athletic poi-
 cy there. Already the old standhys ! in New Haven football-Bull and
 Brides-wil be on hand this fall to i develop the eleven. Haughton will pe paid everything the Harvard athletic
 association can pay him.
 The rub is that the athletic asso- citation cannot produce enough to en- gage Haughton. To be sure there are graduates in abundance to make up l the difference, but Haughton prefers to avoid this sort of salary. He thinks that a graduate who helps pay his
 salary might feel at liberty to butt in and dictate, and he will have none Of this. Just how the financial end is

MARET CONTINUED ACTIVE.

New York, April 23.-Factors which contributed measurably to the strength and activity of yesterdays stock mar ket, notably the confident buying of rails. were cle1ative again today, re- inforced by a keen inquiry for other popular shares, particularly steels, coppers and numerous equipments.
 |. s. Steel was the central feature, asserting it's former leadership on na enormous turnover at an extreme gain of 3-4 points to 103, though yielding all but a large fraction in the extensive profit taking of the last hour
 Buying of steel, credited largely to powerful financial interests. was the more interesting, in view of the meet ing next week of directors to declare a dividend.
 Affiliated shares joined in the ad- vance at gross gains of 1 to 4 points. but these, too. were relinquished for the most part at the close, when many leaders were to points under their best and others showed net losses.
 The rise in rails was again restrict ed mainly to low grade issues of the western and southwestern sections, i1- vestment shares such as transconti- nentals, Reading and eastern trunk lines at no time making more than slight gains.
 Aside from Royal Dutch, oils were uncertain with shippings and motors and their accessories, but metals were unusually active and strong, Interna- tional Nickel being the only notewor thy exception.
