a day passes that We do not hear OF
some new movement looking toward
better highways.
Past Methods AntiQaateA.
$50 rapidly has the movement come
to head with the effective aid of the
Department of Labor and other agen-
,cies interested in the assimilation of
labor that our past methods OF pro-
cedure have become antiquated and
we are left face to face with the need
Of a definite policy which will assure
the tax payers OF the United States
the very best results will be obtained
from these expenditures.
My experience on the highways
transport committee demonstrated to
my satisfaction that the future road
building OF the country must be done
with an eye to developing the enor-
nous latent resources Of the country.
which means scientific location coup
led with scientific construction 70
meet the needs of new traffic. Fur
ther than that. we must recognize the
fact that State lines are political, not
physical, and. accordingly, We must
link UP State highways, one with the
other, into an effective whole.
"The Townsend bill provides a sure
means for such a program and II Is
safe to say that all who understand
the Importance of efficient highways
transportation will be solidly in favor
of its adoption by Congress at the
earliest possible moment"

Imported Style Will Great
ly Increase American
Sales.

Another angle of the after-the-war
automobile situation was developed in
a recent conversation with NJ. A.
Williams. of the Roamer Sales Com
pany, 12l2 Connecticut avenue.
Mr.. Williams is of the opinion that
there will DE little or no market for
European quality car in Europe.
because of the financially impoverish-
ed condition of the countries overseas.
The motor car companies themselves.
however, will not be bankrupt, having
acquired financial strength by the
manufacture Of automobiles for mill
tary use.
Hence the logical selling field for
them to invade will be the most pros
porous country on earth--the United
States. Because of the newly devel-
oped American tastes for automobiles
of true quality and custom design,
Mr.. Williams says he expects there
Will be ready market for such cars
as the Lancia. Isotta. Fraschini. De-
bion Bourton and similar makes.
The American-made cars which
viii be best fitted to compete with
these" declares Mr.. williams, will
be those which are themselves based
upon true European chassis anc
body design. such as the Roamer
The Roamer Motor Car Company ha,
no fear of European competition.

Introduction OF European types
Every new car imported from abroad
increases American appreciation Of
European body lines, and henc,
makes 1t easier to sell the Roamer
This has already been proved anc
the Roamer factory production is ad
vancing by leaps and bounds In an

MODERN TIRES
MEET DEMANDS
Standard Type Of Pneu-
matte Design De6es the
Wear and Tear Of Roads.

1t Is doubtful II any other industry
in our country Is called upon to tackle
so many problems as the tire indus
try. Vehicular conditions are rapidly
changing and tire development has
had to keep up with these changes.
Thanks to the initiative of our Amer
lean tire engineers, every kind of mo-
tor-propelled vehicle has been pro-
'vided with a suitable tire.
With the steady advance of the mo-
tor truck into diversified fields or
service 1t became quite obvious that
no one style of tire would best meet
all conditions. Among others, there
was a recognized need for a pneu-
matte tire for trucks.
Some truck manufacturers and
truck users have been seeking relief
through the use OF dual pneumatics-
two tires on each rear wheel. Many
passenger busses and pieces of fire
apparatus are so equipped.
Many Disadvantages.
But this arrangement has its dis
advantages which largely offset the
cushioning benefits secured, according
Tire and Rubber Company, Akron,
Ohio.
Inequalities OF the road surface
throw an undue proportion of the load
on one or the other of the dual tires.
in case of puncture one tire often
carries the strain of the whole load"
he explains.
No two makes of tires are exactly
the same size and cross section and.
therefore, even IL road conditions arc
oh al falx tAro ay-t-k<
more of the load than the other.
Identical air pressures cannot be
maintained in any two tires in actual
service.
The removal OF the inside tire ne
cessitates the removal of both tires.
which means double work In making
a tire change.
"All OF these difficulties are obviated
by the use of single pneumatic cord
truck tires and many benefits added
that duals never provided"
