Men prominent in national affairs

TEN are multiplying In numbers. ac-
cording to replies to a communica-
tion sent by the A. A. A. Good
Roads Board. asking for definite ex-
pressions on this far-reaching SUBJ
Sect.
That Major General Leonard Wood,
because Of his military experience,
would favor a comprehensive high
ways plan, is quickly understandable.
but when William Jennings Bryan
adds his voice to those who com
mend federal plan, the evidence
is apparent that a big interstate sys-
tenn 10 thing of the not far dis
tnnt future.
In General Woods reply he empha
sizes maintenance and the fact that
roads can be commercial and mil.
tary at the same time:
1T Is especially important that we
should provide for continuous main
tenance: in other words, those roads
should always be kept in condition
for service and never allowed ito
reach the stage when general repair
Is necessary.
You may feel that undue empha-
sis has been laid upon the military
need. but in considering this project
the fact must be borne in mind that.
while these roads are vitality Nn-
portant as a possible military neces-
sity. they will serve every CONNER
cial purpose"
Senator Warren G. Harding Of Ohio
gives voice to these sentiments:
Il am quite ready to cordially sup
port federal aid in the construction
Of highways which shall be SO Sc
lected as to facilitate what might be
termed federal travel; that is to say,
interstate communication. 1 have no
doubt Congress will be very gen.
erous in supporting the good roads
movement"
William Jennings Bryan comes for
ward with quite practical comment;
The time has come for the sys-
tematic development OF national high
ways and the conclusion Of peace
gives an opportunity to celebrate the
ending Of the greatest Of world wars
by the building of a memorial Peace
Way, reaching into every State and
forming a commercial bond OF union
between the commonwealths Of the
nation. 1t would greatly relieve the
railroads by furnishing a roadway for
both passenger and freight traffic -

while the motor truck as a

Il understand that in England right
now the question Of free road trans
port as the only remedy today in case

. Il also understand that while an
forms of railroad transport, such as
tramwAys and railways in their va

pensive to work, most forms of road

Lord Montague, Of Calieu. states
In publication called The Nineteenth
Century published in London, on
good roads as a means Of cheap road
transport that at the International
Congress of 1918 It. was remarkable
that practically every foreign road
engineer and road user who came to
England. declared that the English
roads were models to initiate How

SEDAN FAVORED
IN 1920 SEASON
Lafayette Motors Exhibit at
NY. Proof of Gain in
New Style,

Executives Of the Lafayette Mo-
tors Company. of indianapolis. had a
very good reason for selecting the
touring sedan to represent the La
Fayette line during the New York
and Chicago automobile shows.
For the new postwar car of D.
Mccall White was designed primarily
as a closed car in order that the
coach-builder would meet with no
limitations. automatically imposed
by chassis design. in the creation of
closed bodies.
The wisdom of such a policy, which
is totally at variance with common
practice, has excellent verification in
the Lafayette touring sedan, which,
made its debut at the Commodore
Hotel, New York, and which will
be displayed at the Auditorium Ho-
tey, Chicago, during the last week
in January.
while FIVE different aluminum-built
bodies will be offered on the lsa-inch
Lafayette chassis, closed cars will
predominate the line for 1920. since
in addition to the touring sedan.
designs also have been approved for
an especially smart limousine and a
coupe.
The open models will be limited
to two styles--a touring car and a
torpedo four-seater. the latter being
distinguished by lines suggestive Of
high speed and resembling the swag-
ger sport cars of England and
France.
Salient style features are the high,
rounding radiator, filled with verti-
cal shutters that are regulated by
thermostat; the large headlamps Of
distinctive cylindrical design and
rigidly mounted on a rod connecting
the front tenders; the long, high
bonnet. with louvres running the
entire length. and the double crown
, ed tenders. ~
The Lafayette touring car Is now q
familiar sight to the home folks
around Indianapolis where the La-
Fayette factory IL located. for it is
now on the road for a long and
gruelling test that includes daily
workout on the brick speedway of
the Hoosiers ~ -

Not So Much Attention
Paid Today to
Strength.

The great world war has taught mo-
tor truck manufacturers one impor-
tant thing-the value Of Quickness,
hexibility and dependability. e. ....
The necessity OF getting there
quickly and eertainly-was impressed
on the allies as 1t never was before.
The delay OF one hour. or even of hf-
teen minutes or less, meant death or
life to thousands.
And so the trend of the truck to-
day is toward lightness with
strength), consequent quickness and
ease in operation and certainty of ar
riving safely with the least possible
consumption of time. labor and ma
terial
The time was-and is yet, with
many manufacturers of motor
trucks. when it was expected that the
maker was a liar! He put out a
truck rated at a two-ton load, for in
stance. and any man of the least COM
mon sense knew that it would carry a
four-ton load. And men who had four
tons to carry bought the so-called
two-tonner-and expected to do II.
Today the tendency Is in the other
direction. The 'ton-and-a-half Rainier
truck, for instance. is not built to
carry more than its rated capacity.
Its frame of pressed steel will carry
the 5000 pounds for twenty years and
still be good. Its tires and wheels
and springs will all follow suit and
stand w. under its rated load for
years and years-and never weaken.
But 1t is not made to carry four tons
or even three tons-for any length Of
time.
And let us all thank the manufac-
turers for returning to honesty! One
ton does not mean two tons-never
did and never can-any more. And
the result is that the modern truck
is built of a capacity which Is the
most needed and at a price much
less than ever before-because tits

TRUCK LARGELY USED
In AUTO INDUSTRY


The old story. In which the shoe
makers children were the ones who
went barefoot. finds no parallel in
the building and use Of motor cars
and their parts and accessories, in
fact the various divisions of the au-
tomotive industry have always been
consfstent users of the industry's
products. A conspicuous example of
this is the extensive use of motor
trucks by large concerns In the mo-
tor and accessory branch OF the In
dustry.

dent Christian Girl OF the Standard
Parts Company, I'VE may have been
Influenced in the first instance by.

FEDERAL ROADS.
GAIN SUPPORT.
Opposition Of State Officials
Diminishes as[Interstate
Traffic Grows.

That a national highways system
has become a national need. Is an
opinion which gradually and persist
emily is gaining ground throughout
the entire country. Men prominent In
the affairs of the nation are studying
the subject carefully and completely.
and one after another Is more or less
definitely placing himself on record
as favoring greater federal partici-
patton in highways improvement In
some form or another.
Supporters for definite federal sys-
tenn In charge of a federal commits
sion are multiplying in numbers. but
not few still hesitate to place the
big job where it really belongs and
continue to argue for a divided respon-
sibility. with the State Highway De-
partments holding tenaciously to their
"prerogatives."
Control Ii Urged.
Exactly as II was diffcult for county
authorities to give way to State Of
ficials when advance in rosd building
brought about the creation OF State
systems these State officials now con-
tend against a federalizing control.
evenSwith proposing greater sums
from the national treasury.
In the recent meeting OF State
highway officials at Louisville. KY,
a majority favored q continuation
of federal aid beyond the present
appropriations expiring in 1891, but
admitted that the money ought to
be expended in evolving what might
be construed as an interstate road
system.
Favor TownseAa Bill.
Denuded Of all eamounage and
ridded of every possible smoke
screen. the real answer to maximum
highways improvement stands forth
In the form Of a definite federal
system which shall be the concern
Of the central government. This
would give an exact federal method
of assisting the several States in
sharing with them their growing
highways burdens. because the traf-
fic OF today ignores States lines and
calls for widespread employ ment Of
the trunk lines in facilitating the
commercial and social intercourse
of all the people. While certain
ones may selfshly resist a big pro-
gram and delay its adoption, indi-
cations accumulate from all direc-
tions that the so-caIled Townsend
measure. perhaps somewhat amend
ed, will ultimately emerge from
Congress and call for the Presi-
Dental signature.

CRITICIZE NEW GERMAN EAGLE
By United Press.

BY United Press.
Berlin, (by mail .)-German aesthe-
tic sensibilities have been sadly of
Tended by the new republican coat
of arms. 1t consists of a single
headed eagle and the poor old bird
looks as though he'd been living ON
rations.
Likewise, his feathers are a trifle
unkempt and what shocks The Teu-
ION artistic sense most of all is that
the detected and decrepit fowl has
his tongue hanging out Whereas in
the days of the Hohenzollerns, the
coat of arms was a double-headed
and crowned eagle, the single head
ed bird of Ehe republic naturally
bears no crown nor any of the either
trappings belonging in the accoutre-
ments of the royal eagle.
Berlin artists have risen up in
righteous wrath about the bird. The
republic, they say, ought to have
shown bit more aesthetic sensibil
ity in making out the coat of arms
1t simply doesn't conform to either
heraldry or artistry, they add
