STATE AID VERY IMPORTANT
FEATURE OF ROAD CAMPAIGN
Frank F. Moran Of Wilmington, Del. Tells How
That State Has Handled the Situation During
the Past Five Years; Impressed With Montana
Enthusiasm.

the work that would normally have been
done during the past few years was great
ly held up by the wartime cost of labor
and materials, and by the rulings of the
war industries board, the capital issue
committee, etc, etc. In view Of these
things the Delaware story of state roads
IS story of distinct accomplishment.
State Aid important.
One very interesting point is the
growth Of the state aid'' idea Inevi-
tably when state takes hold of its
roads as state matter it comes at once
to recognize the need of an effective
state aid' system. Up to the present
time Delaware has been appropriating as
state aid" for road building only. $50,
900, $4,000 for each county. This year
the state highway department is MAX
ing available for state aid road work
500. .0Oo-S250.00 for each county.
Another interesting point is the in
crease In state funds for road building
through automobile receipts. In Della
ware, state road funds come from two
sources-lncome tax revenue over $3.50
900. which IS very small, and automobile
receipts. including fees for registration
Of vehicles and fees for the licenses Of
drivers. 1t is a notable fact that the
automobile receipts for nine months of
the year 1919 we're almost eight times
what they were for the entire year 1914
and more than double what they were
II f9ff. he volume Of automobile traf-
fic works both ways. It makes permanent
roads more than ever necessary, but it
also provides not ineonsiderable source
of revenue with which to build and to
maintain them

Changing All Tires
Practice Says Ward

Changing truck or passenger car tires
at regular intervals from one wheel to
another will increase the mileage of a
set of tires to a greater degree than
the average owner realizes, according to
J. f. Ward, Firestone representative at
304 Third avenue south.
Tire companies, he states, have done
a great deal of experimental work along
these lines during the past few years,
"Firestone engineers, Mr.. Ward says,
have made exhaustive tests relative to
comparative wear on tires in various po-
sitions. They have learned that those on
the right wheels are subjected to greater
on rear wheels to more than those on
front
Thus it readily can be seen that oc-
casional changes will effect more equal
distribution of wear with a consequent
increase in mileage.
Records have been kept at the Fire
stone factory on large number of tires.
which have run in the aggregate more
than S.000,OO0 miles. Some of these tires
have been run continuously in the same
positions. The records show that the
average tire on the left front wheel
will give nearly twice the mileage as the
one on the right rear wheel
The mileage in the various positions,
therefore,. will be approximately the fol-
lowing proportions: To one mile of ser
vice on the right rear wheel, tires will
average | Ito miles on the left rear.
y on the right front and 14 on the
left front In other words the average
tire that would run 5000 miles on the
right rear wheel would run about 1000
on the left rear, 5000 on the right front
and 900 on the left front wheel
Tire experts explain that the reasons
for these conditions are apparent Driv-
ers turn to the right more frequently
than they do to the left, they state. be-
cause they more frequently are required
to pass vehicles coming toward them
than they are those going in the same
direction. Thus the tires on the right
side Of the road are more frequently re-
quirfd to travel in the rough portion Of
the road and an additional strain is

ESSEX IS REVEALED AS
HUDSON MASTERPIECE
Simple Announcement Just Made
Bares Most Amazing Story OF
Achievement in the Entire
Annals of Industry.

Behind the recent public announce
mcnt that the Essex, the motoring sem
sation of the past year. was designed BY
Hudson engineers and built in the Hud-
son factory, lies one of the most amazing
stories of industrial achievement ever
revealed, declared W. w. Wight Of i. G.
Power Motor Car Go.
although the bare facts have been
generally known for months in trade
circles. where they have been the cause
of endless speculation, few outside of
the industry knew that the Essex was
a Hudson product, the result of Hudson
achievement and experience.
when the Essex was first introduced
a year ago, nothing was said about the
builders and the secret was kept for
nearly twelve months. During all this
time not a single claim was made for the
Essex The motoring public merely was
invited to take ride in it and form its
own opinion. The identity Of the builders
was shrouded in mystery. the advertise
would speak for itself. It was left TO
make its way unaided through sheer
ability and without other Endorsement.
''The result is now automobile history.
The Essex has been the most talked
about automobile of the year More than
10000 cars, valued at over $50 100000
were sold in less than II months, the
greatest success ever achieyed Dy any
fine car in its first year on the market
Its feats have established new motoring
standards for economy, endurance and
reliability. 1t was an Essex stock chasis.

the car covered 1,79O miles and in the
