600, 000, or s1I0,000.000 more than
the average expenditures for 1916 and
1917.
An important effect of the law con-
tanning the new appropriation is that
ii broadens the definition of rural
post road, under which class a high
way had to qualify in order, to receive
the benefits of the federal aid act.
Under the old act 1t was required
that mail should actually be carried
on the road or that there should be
a reasonable prospect that mail would
be carried on 1t within a short time
after improvement. The new act says
'. the term rural post roads g.
shall be construed TO mean any pub
lie road a major portion of which is
now used or can be used or forms a
connecting link not to exceed ten miles
in length Of any road or roads now or
hereafter used for the transportation
of the United States mails, excluding
every street and road in a place hav-
ing a population as shown by the late
est available federal census. of $500
or more, except that portion of any
such street or road along which the
houses average more than 200 feet
apart"
The new act also raises the gov
eFnIneuL mint OF contribution IIoIt
not to exceed $4,000 a mile to not to
exceed $4,000 mile. taking account
OF higher present costs of labor and
materials
The law also authorizes the secre-
tary of war to transfer to the secre-
tary of agriculture material, equip
ment and supplies suitable for high
way improvement and not needed by
the war department
or the s209. 100000 added to the
funds available under the federal aid
road act, the new law makes $1,000
geo available for expenditure by the
secretary of agriculture for roads and
trails within or partly within the ma
tional forests, IT also provides other
measures which are expected to give
great impetus to the development OF
the road systems in the national for

With full state cooperation. accord
ing TO the terms OF the federal aid
road act. the United States will have
total of at least 1874. 100000 for CO.
operative road building during the
next three years. The federal part of
this fund is assured by an extra APP
preparation of s2oa. 100000 In the

passed by congress and signed by the
president
Officials OF the. bureau OF public
roads, United States department OF
agriculture, which administers the
provisions of the federal aid road act
and co-operates with the state govern
ments in the expenditure of the
money. point out that this amount of
funds IL the largest ever appropriated
for similar purposes and for a similar
period by any government in the his
tory OF the world, and that it enables
the federal and state governments
to carry out a road building program
OF a magnitude never equaled
In connection with the great federal
aid program 1t is also noted that ex-
penditures for highway work in the
United States this year are likely to
amount to a half-biilion dollars or
more. On reports received from state
highway departments. the bureau OF
public roads estimates the 1919 expen-
ditures for roads and bridges at $685.

AUTO TRADE
ON UPWARD TREND

Business this week reflects to the
evident boom Of the automobile bus
mess in Richmond. The country is
in a receptive mood for automobiles
and 1t is only a matter of getting cars
to deliver.
Dealers are doing considerable ad-
vertising. and almost everywhere pro-
nounced activity is noticeable. Many
men are being hired to sell automo-
biles which, In itself, signifies good
business ahead. Showrooms are being
remodeled, and automobile rows are
putting on now fronts When one
takes into consideration the prosperity
of the country. automobile business
men need not procrastinate in anti
cipating unusual spring business and
laying their plans for this demand
Wages are still high, with no i'm
mediate reductions in sight, while
prices of food, clothing and other
necessities are also up, so to speak.
Car prices. 1t Is believed are bound
to be steady for some time TO come.
They can't come down, 1t Is argued,
while the prices OF wages, food and
clothing keep on their present plane
There seems to be plenty Of money
In the country and also a good demand
for cars. The big problem confront
ing automobile dealers Is to secure
enough cars for the spring business
Many OF the dealers are now sold up
for two months in advance.

PUT CHAINS IN TIRES
WHEN ROADS SLIPPERY

Every wise motorist puts chains on
his tires when rain makes the high
ways slippery-this is one rule OF
motoring which no one questions.
While there is no substitute for a
chain the United States Tire COM
pany takes responsibility for the as
sertion that some tires are surprisingly
Trustworthy In emergencies Of the sort
for which chains are devised.
passenger in n taxicah remon-
strated recently with the driver, who
was travelling at fast rate over n
slippery asphelt pavement He told
the driver he had no desire to hit
trolley pole or go through a store
front.
There is nothing to worry about"
was the taxi mans response. This
car Is equipped with Royal Cords
Then to show the reason for his
faith he did some stunts in startling
and turning, and on each occasion
there was no skidding.
Royal Cords are good in slippery
places for two reasons" said a
( nited States tire rfan~in expianarion
In the first place they are OF cord
construction. That means they are
very pliable and there is an easy
play in the tire structure that allows
more OF the tread surface to roll
'along the ground as the wheel re-
wolves. This extra s1~face increases
the tractive force and lessons the
likelihood of skidding.
TN the second place there is the
nom skid tread. This figure tread Is
not for decorative purpose, but Is
scientifically devised to prevent slip
ping in any direction"

possible quarter regarding the prob

now owned by the United States gov

possibility of the war department Of
