continued Rutherford. Friends of
incorporated in his last message to
Congress, What the country badly
needs is that its means Of transporta-
ton should be developed, its railways,
its waterways, its highways and its

"Of almost equal moment is the ac-
ton taken at the recent highway con-

Chamber of Commerce, the American
coin and Dixie Highway Associations.
Among the delegates were highway Of

bill to be put before the present short
term of Congress for passage.
81. That Federal Highways Com
mission be appointed to plan, main
tain and construct national system
of highways.
"2. That the mileage of highways
to be taken over in any given state
should not amount TO over per cent
of the total mileage of the roads Of

49, That thorough survey and

Tires Cost Less to
Run i'm Winter Time

There is one particular. at least, in
which careful motorist who runs
ms car during the winter months may
re sure that his cost Of upkeep is less
than during the warmer months of the
year. Tie United States Tire Com
pany's fleets of test cars have demon
strated that the lower temperatures
have beneficial effect on tires. This
good effect was proved during the
long, bitter winter of last year when,
IN spite # bad snow and ice condi-
tons, the tire tests produced mileages
far in excess of summer tests.
rms rule applies to sections where
the driver is confronted with only
the ordinary bad road conditions grow
ing out Of snow and ice and frozen
highways. The extra pounding which
tire gets. appears to be Offset by the
lessening Of FRACTIONAL heat
TO the driver who must drive his
car over rough roads, deeply cut into
ruts, winter presents decidedly diff
ferent problem. and only the most care
iul drivir" will make it possible for
him to get full return of his tire
investment
To those car owners who are not
fortunate enough to live in the sec
tons whore the good roads movement
has swept dirt roads into oblivion,
the United States Tire Company says
by way OF advice that tires can be
saved best by keeping out of the ruts
where possible, by driving slowly and
carefully. and by keeping the tires
inflated to standard pressure.
