HOLDS WIFE IS
 EQUALLY, LIABLE

The fact that the dog that bit James H. McNerney in Greenwich in 1917 was owned by George P. Fisher and was kept on the premises against the wishes of his wife, does not ab- solve her from a judgment for dam ages, according to the memorandum handed down by Judge John J. Walsh today, when he decided that McNerney was entitled to a judgment for s100 against both Fisher and his wife.
 The memorandum also states that while the plaintiff could not show any very serious physical injuries he suf- fered mentally for 93 days while the dog was under observation by officials to discover whether he was afflicted with the rabies when he bit McNer- ney.

 Other political leaders point to the suspension of Captain Cronan as purely a political move to get him out of the way so there will be no pro- motion for him when the shake-up comes. Captain Cronan in politics is a Democrat and since his suspension has not been put back in the detec- tive bureau. The mayor may have ordered that Captain Wheeler. remain in that place until he could be chang ed to give Davies the chance he is after.

INTERESTING TRAVELS
OF A LITTLE BUICK

Frequently 1 observe statements
OF Buick owners as to the accon4
pltShments of their cars and it is
hard to refrain from telling of my
own experience, writes John
Mitchell of Jersey City. %
After three or four years ownerA
ship of another make, which was
almost my undoing, | happened TO
stumble across a 1913 Buick ON
May 30 of that year. Now this
little car travelled all over creation
until the fall of 1914. Without any
trouble it carried US through the
White mountains and other tours
Of equal distance throughout the
east.
Two things happened in 1914
one was the announcement of your
C-37 and the other was the fact
of a man wanting to buy my 1913
model car.
Il have forgotten how many
miles | drove this 1918 model; it
was about 5000 miles, and l sold,
it for a good sum. Fifteen minutes
after | sold it had an order
through for a C-37, which was de-
livered to me the following day.
Il have driven this car continu-
ously. The only expenses / have
had to pay were little items-alto-
gether worth the $4,000 miles Of
service the car has given me.

GOOD ROADS PROBLEM
ASSUMES NEW ASPECT,
SAYS TRICK OFFICIAL

FUNDS available for the construc-
ton Of hard surface roads in the
/ United States in 1920 are more
( than three times greater than in
| any previous year. The United
! States department of agriculture
estimates the amount at $633, 000,-
| 600, and many leading authorities
beIleve the appropriations will
reach final total of 81, 00,000 000.
The previous maximum yearly e&-
| pendIture has never exceeded
5000. 100000.
This recognition of the need for
adequate highways by the national,
state and county legislatures is re
gardod 10y leaders in the motCr-
truck industry as indicative of the
acceptance of highway trauaporta-
ton on a par with the railroads.
1T does not mean, however, that
the good roads problem has been
solved said Z. Il. Fulton, vice
president of the International Mo-
tor company, manufacturers Of
Mack trucks. in a recent interview.
The problem merely assumes a
different aspect
Although the American people
are demanding a comprehensive
system Of highways and are willing
to pay the price, the expenditure
of this huge appropriation 10 de
pendent upon three thirss. first,
the supply Of highway construction
materials; second, the ability of the
railroads to furnish enough cars to
transport this material, and third,
the ability of engineers and con-
tractors, with the required labor,
to handle the construction. These
three factors under present condi-
tons, are direct limitations on the
anticipated highway program.
"A shortage of road materials
will be sure to develop as the 1920
construction is put under way. II
is estimated that the average cost
of our roads for next year will be
about 100000 a mile. Allowing
but 400 tons Of materials per mile.
road construction will need not less
than 120,000,000 tons Of materials,
a figure far above the supply now

are seriously overburdcued Win

NATIONAL SHOWS
GREAT BENEFIT To
AUTO INDUSTRY
Such Exhibits, Usually On a
Very Elaborate Order, are
Always the Start For
Seasons Business.

Automobile manufacturers arc
unanimous in their agreement that
the national automobile shows are
of tremendous value to the auto
mobile industry as a whole. The
rational show is the opening broad
side fired by the combined auto
mobile companies of the county
in the yearly campaign. 1t is real
ly the start of the new season S
business.
These gigantic exhibits, with
their lavish decorations and beau
tiful productions of Americas fore
most artisans and engineers, are
the mecca for all automobile en-.
thusiasts. Without a doubt, the
idea of the national automobile
show had its inception in the prin-
ciple involved in the big fashion
shows, such as are held i'm Paris
where the styles and fashions for
the worlds raiment are featured
In Paris the clothing representa-
tives and buyers from the leading
companies rendezvous and spend

LOUIS CHEVROLET HAS
ENTERED IRDIANAP0 OILS
SPEEDWAY RACES

indianapolis, md, Feb. IS
Louis Chevrolet, intrepid veteran
/ of lnnumerable speed battles and
| master designer of racing ears, has
/ entered three Frontenac niers for
! the Eighth Annual International
! 50O-miie Sweepstakes on the Indi-
annapolis motor speedway, Monday
May 81, raising the total number
Of cars already nominated for the
event at this early date to seven.
With his three Frontenacs, Chev-
rolet will in reality have a repre-
sentatiOn of six cars in the Indian

first appearance on the track, as

and startling.
In the rio of F'rontenacs that
he campaisned during the last sew
Cral seasons, he astOnished the
racing world with their unprece-
dented llghtness, secured through
the use OF aluminium on a scale
that had been regarded as impossi-
BILE. Chevrolet conclusivoly dem
onstrated the soundness of his
ideas, however, by sending his fra
gile creations through a success
sion of the most gruelling contests
ins history, and winning q majority
of the events in which they COM
peted.
On the point system of scoring
the Frontenac team easily outdis-
tanced all competitors in 1919, with
total of 1850 points as against

the field of track events it took

with but a single miss, when Ralph
