NATIONAL HIGHWAY
TO PARKS BACKED
Project of Continuous BouIe-
ward Given Approval of Auto
Association.

The project of a continuous boule-
ward, to link up the national parks
of the United States. to be named
the National Park-to-Park highway
was given the unanimous approval Of
the executive board of the American
Automobile Association at a recent
meeting held in this city David
Jameson, national president of the
A. A. A. presided.
While greatly increased thousands
of road tourists visited the national
parks during the past summer. it is
realized that these Fairgrounds of
the nation will not serve their max
imum purpose until highway connec-
tions are established of such char
acter as to make 1t possible for the
traveller to plan his journey success
fully and conveniently. Even IL Con-
gress dissents from granting a spe
cific appropriation for connected
roads to these scenic and recreation
areas, it is certain that the states
will see to it that their apportion-
ments of federal road money will not
disregard this important work, be-
side which. in some instances, even
the counties will be helpful in the
premises.
In the laying out of the park-to-
park route this year the A. A. A.
supplied as a pathfinder its expert
enced field representative, A. L. West
gard. who has transcontinental
touring record second to none.

BY THEODORE p. MOVES.

There is a crying need in Washing
ton for more one-way streets in the
congested sections of the city. Some
steps, at least, should be taken to
bring this city up-to-date in traffic
matters, and this is very small, but
very important. step that should be
put into effect Immediately.
In the opinion Of many the streets
between 14th and 9th. from Massa-
chusetts avenue to Pennsylvania ave-
nue., should be made one-way thor
oughfareS. This would mean that 14th
street would be. as it is now. two
way street; 18th a one-way street
with traffic going north, 18th the
opposite direction, and so on down
TO 9Th.
This system has been advocated and
discussed many times. and practically
the same measure has been urged
time and time again. When other
cities-larger cities. with more traffic
and faster traffic-find a solution in
oneway streets, why should Wash
ington hang behind and say: "Oh, no.
] don't want to try anything new. 1t
might not work right"
Have You Ever Tried 1t.
Have you ever tried to drive up one
times of the night or day? And just
how far have you gotten before YOU
found yourself damned in behind a
long line of cars. proceeding at about
two miles an hour. and with a SINH
lar line coming from the other .direc-
ton? And do you remember how mad
you got and how exasperating it was

THIRD OF AUTOS ON FARMS

1.-TWO and a half million automo-
biles third of the total number of
motor cars in the United States. are
owned and operated by farmers" ac-
cording to the Davis Motor Car Com
pany.
More important even than these
figures is the fact that at least two
thirds of the present production of
automobiles is being sold to the farm
err. Owning already one-third of all
the automobiles. the farmer is now
buying two-thirds of the current an
nual production.
The great increase in the number
of automobiles owned in agricultural
states is due primarily to the fact
that the motor car is an absolute ne
cessity to the farmer. 1t increases
by almost a hundred per cent the
farmers productive force, through it's
saving in time and the wider OPP
portunities in the transaction of bust
ness which it gives. 1t is not un-
common for a farmers automobile to
pay for itself in the first year.
The motor car has eliminated the
old-time isolation of farm life. 1t
stimulates community life. 1t has
helped to solve the problem of farm
labor by increasing the accessibility
of the farm. 1t has increased farm
values by eliminating distance and by
charging the possible market for the
farm products"

TEUTONS PLAN SPEEDWAY
Barred From Auto Races Here.
They May Have Their Own.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 11-Be-
cause the management of the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway Company
would not permit German cars to be
entered in the last race. and at the
time intimated that they would not
be received until they are accepted
in other lines of sport, seems to
have spurred the Teutons to build
their own race course and play by
themselves in their own back yard.
Whether German motor car build
ers will attempt to enter cars in the
coming 500-mile international sweep
stakes race for purse of $4,000 cash
on May 80 over the bricks of the In
dianapolis motor speedway is not
known. Entry blanks have not yet
been sent out and it will be some time
before the former foe OF the allies
will have an opportunity to even at
tempt to enter the competition.
The Germans are contemplating
fve-mile steel-surfaced course near
Hanover. This will be an innova-
tion in speedways. if the plan is
carried out, for there never has been
a track surfaced with steel Most
specially constructed speedways are
wood, the Indianapolis course being
unique in that it is built of brick
and concrete.

CRYING NEED IN WASHINGTON
For MORE ONE-WAY STREETS
Would Be Important Step in Bringing This
City Up to Date In Traffic

to stop. start. jam on your brakes.
Craze the rear tire on the next car
and wait some more for traffic to

And then you have also encountered

II these streets were established as
suggested there would be practically
none of this congestion. Traffic would
move in an orderly manner. and il is
probably safe to say that there would be
fewer scraped mudguards and bumpers

are at present.

Now, with one-way streets, it would

you would always be able to pass car,

was. There would also be no danger of
hitting a car coming from the other
direction. because there wouldn't be
any.
So, you see. every condition points to
the necessity of the establishment Of
more one-way streets.

stephen r. Mather. director of the

Opposes Reservoirs.
The 4. A. A. at its meeting here
went on record against the proposed
irrigation reservoirs in the Falls
River basin of the Yellowstone. Such
action, it was asserted. would mean
opening up of the way for the COM
liberalization of the national parks.
For those Americans who have time
and opportunity to indulge in for
eign road travel while their own
country is providing itself with in
terstate highways. the American Au-
tomobile Association is gradually re-
newing the conveniences which exist
ed previously to the war. The most
recently added thing has to do with
securing the triptyque issued by the
Touring Club of Belgium before TAX
ing ship for the other side. The A. A.
A. issues the document to members
and guarantees the return Ol the Cal
to the United States before the de-
post is returned to its owner. With
the Automobile Association of Great
Britain a similar arrangement was
consummated several months ago, and
1t is not unlikely that other countries
will be provided for in the same
manner.
1t is expected. however, that in the
comparatively near future the Inter
national Touring Alliance, of which
the A. A. A. is the American member,
will be able to establish with the
principal European countries the in
ternational triptyque to supplement
the international plate of identity
whereby the car owner can obtain
from his home government a number
which takes cSre Of the registratiAl

FARMER BROWNS AS WIFE
AND CHILDREN LOOK ON

With his wife and two small
children standing helpless on the
bank of swollen Crooked Creek help
less to aid him. Raymond Pullman, a
prominent farmer, was drowned. In
his efforts to reach safety he dragg-
ed to death with him the team of
horses he was driving. His death
came as a great shock to the COM
munity, where he had lived for years.
Funeral services were held at Fowler
with interment in the cemetery here.
Pullman and his wife and babies,
Evelyn, two years old, and Raymond
three months old, started home after
Fowler had been drenched by a -four
inch rain. In hurry to reach home
they did not go by road but cut
across a field, which took them close
to Crooked Creek. The stream had
risen, due to the heavy rain and the
water had backed up into, the fields
Pullman saw the horses were being
mired down and helped his wife ant
the children to the ground, thinking
to drive on ahead alone.
The horses, instead of going along
the stream as Pullman had planned
plunged into the stream and started
to swim across. The buggy turned
and Pullman leaped to the back o,
the horses. When it sank he clunt
to the other but it also went down
Pullman was unable to swim and wa
carried to his death in twelve fee
of water. Screams of the wife bro
the mother and sister of Pullman an,
soon neighbors began to search o
the body, which was found four hour
later.

The school board is up in the air

hairs over the situation.
Several weeks ago the lineup was
complete with two exceptions, and
now there are four vacant places with
a fifth staring them in the face.
1t seems that towns are holding
up on teachers and this causes lot
of grief.
T. W. Hubbard said to Democrat
reporter this morning that they were
sending out twenty-five kilograms
trying to locate teachers SO as to be
able to open school with full force.
These teachers are going 70 cost
money, but Liberal can pay as much
as any other seaport, and the Board
will have the backing of the town if
they are able to secure good teachers
at almost any price.
