WEIGHT CAR
WOULD STIMULATE
ROAD BUILDING
BY n. a. TARANToUs,
Member OF S. A. e.

We all know that the more motor We
hicles there are In use, the greater Is
the demand for good roads. and II NC
glance at the road building figures for
the past 10 years We have visible proof
Of the expansion that has taken place
almost in direct ratio to the number Of
cars produced
AT the present time there are $780,
900 cars In this country which Is as
nothing compared with the number that
the people want and ought 10 have.
Durant says we shall have 1900 900 in
a few years Every one ought TO have
a motor vehicle, Ford tells us. While
II is quite true that every one wants to
own an automobile, Il is likewise true
that every one doesn't want TO support
one, and cannot support one, Fuel. tires
and repairs cost too much money. When
upkeep Is reduced we shall see, not 15,-
900 900, nor q, 900, 600 cars. but as many
cars as the factories are physically able
to put together.
There Is only one way that this can
be accomplished and that Is by making
our cars so light ia weight that fuel.
oil. tires and repairs will amount to n
mere fraction OF the ordinary mans
salary. When he doesn't have to pay
any more for running his car than he
does Tor simple amusements, he will
own a car That stage in car industry
IL coming, and with It a proportionate
increase in the building roads to ac-
commodate the greater number OF cars.
The light weight car must give at
least 80 miles per gallon; It must run
10000 to 10000 miles on. a set Of tires;
the repair expenses mast be so low
that the average man OF today can af-
ford to pay for II without any trouble.
When the car comes, and | predict II
will be here before long, we shall have
road system In this country which
will make transportation infinitely
cheaper than it is today.
True, we have good roads in sections
OF the country where motor cars are
used, bute what we need are roads In
network throughout the whole country,
roads over which fast time can be
made by trucks as well as passenger
cars. When the light car brings more
good roads, we will be able to have
trucks moving in a continual stream
from city to city, operating on sched-
ule time, such as viii put abroad
freight time to shame.
But the situation will bring about
better results for the country In an
other respect. Since the light car will
stimulate road building, then when we
have thousands upon thousands Of miles
OF good roads. we shall again lower the
cost OF motoring, because the light car,
or any car or truck, can then travel
faster and better and cheaper over the
good roads than the bad, This is not
to say that the light car cannot travel
the bad roads, for 1t can; but obviously
not with the same speed and comfort as
1t can on smooth roads. The average
gasoline mileage and tire mileage fig
ures previously given are based on av-
erage road conditions of today which
we know will be far better when the
roads are better.

If speed is your requirement see II the
Essex does not meet It. Where luxury
and finish arc demanded compare the

It Is needless to speak Of the Hudson.

which prove supremacy throughout the

FROM FARM BOY TO PRESIDENT
WARREN G. HARDING WAS A
IRREGULAR" BOY
Uncle Ted's Bedtime Stories

"You know you promised to tell us
all about Senator Harding last week"
leased Jack as he tugged at his I'm
cle's coat.
That's true, Jack. All right, I'll
tell you all l can but there are so
many things to tell about Mr.. Hard
ing that l can't possibly tell them to-
night. Now sit real quiet and don't
ask too many questions.
Warren G. Harding was born on
his grand fathers farm, not far from
the little village of Blooming Grove,
Morrow County, Ohio, on the second
day of November, 1865 There were
eight children in the family and Sena-
tor Harding was the oldest. His
father, George T. Harding, was the
village doctor in those days and is
still practicing medicine in the city of
Marion, Ohio, the present home of
the Senator The original Harding
family came from Scotland, and set
tied first in Connecticut and later
moved to Wyoming Valley, Pennsyl-
vania, where many of them fought in
the Revolutionary War. Warren's
mother, for he was Warren, Jack
just as you are Jack today, was Pho
ebe Dickinson, descended from the
Van Kinks, an old Holland Dutch fam
lily. So you see our next President
has the strong blood of the Holland
Dutch on one side and fearless, alert,
and libertyloving Scotch blood on the
other.
GAS Warren grew up on his grand
fathers farm he had to learn to cut
down trees, chop wood, split rails,
plant and hoe corn and all those
things that had to be done when to
raise crops meant raising between the
roots and stumps of trees. Every
thing was done by hand for there was
no expensive farm machinery Your
father knows, Jack, what hard work
it was in those day"
Didn't he ever play?" ask Ruth.
"You bet he did, Ruth. He was
healthy, big boy and like all healthy
boys he enjoyed the sports of the
country and village. He loved the
old swimming hole and no boy could
dive deeper or swim farther than
Warren. He had a sunny disposition
and was the real leader of the gang
of his school-mates. When he was
sixteen he looked like man and had
the strength of man and there were
no older boy who dared bully him.
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1920-07-01

And he always protected the younger
boys. Up until he was fourteen years
old he went to the village school, and
then he entered the Ohio Central
College of Iberia. He graduated high
in scholarship. 1t was while there
he showed a talent for newspaper
work, for he was made editor of the
college paper. But boys in those days
couldn't afford to go right through
college. He had to stop for a time
now and then to earn enough money
to go ahead and finish During these
times he worked at many things. He
painted his neighbors' barns, cut corn,
and drove team to grade the road
bed for a railroad. He taught school
when he was seventeen and played a
horn in the village brass band.
But after he had try at many
things he still longed to be a news
paper man, and odd times he worked
in the little printing office. He learn
ed to set type by hand and later run
linotype machine, which is used to-
day in setting one line of the news
paper type at once. In fact he learn
de from the ground up everything
there was to know about newspaper
and to this day he carries in his poe
ket a luck piece which is nothing
more or less than the old printers
rule he used years ago when he was
setting type.
"All of Senator Harding's news
paper ambitions were realized, for he
finally became the owner and publis-
her of the Marion, Ohio, Star. The
Star is his pet When Warren was
nineteen his father moved to Marion,
where the Star was a struggling
daily paper in town of about four
thousand people. Warren could think
of nothing else but that he wanted to
own that paper. His father finally
helped him take it over and then fol-
owed months and months of struggle
and hard work to keep it going. At
times he had to do everything from
setting the type to writing the news
and printing the paper on press
that had to be turned by hand. But
that story is too long to tell tonight
The result of his hard work has been
that the Star today is big money
making plant and could not be bought
for any price. There are more than
thirty thrusand people in Marion to-
day and the Star has larger circu-
lation than any other newspaper in
city of that size in the Middle West.
II will tell you something that hap
pened in the office of that paper one

character of our next President A

making up the form of the paper.
"A great Senator you are, said the
visitor. I'D be a great Senator if I
didn't know anything else,' he repli-
ed. You see, this is holiday, and
we want to go to press as early as
possible and let the boys get out and
enjoy themselves; so / am lending
helping hand And when they went
up stairs to his office the press in
the basement was heard to stop.
Jumping up, Senator Harding rushed
to the basement found the trouble
that had stopped the press, repaired
it and the wheels began to move aga
in. That shows how he has master
ed the details of everything he goes
into. No matter what it is, he is not
sccontent until he knows all about.
1t was the same way with his first
automobile. He would not rest until
he could make all the repairs needed
on the road and drive it as we'll as
chauffeur.
