The purpose of the conference Ia to
formulate and define the economic
problems which underlie the building
and use of our highways, especially
with view to providing material for
college and university courses In high
way economies and highway trans
port A critical selection OF the more
pressing of these problems is urgently
needed as q be sis for sound and TAR
sighted research program. Highway
valuation, finance. construction, main
tenance and transportation will be the
chief topics considered. The country
is spending on highways hundreds OF
millions a year, with every Indication
that this rate will be greater rather
than less during the next two decades.
To spend wisely a number OF economic
problems must be solved, many OF
which have not been as yet clearly
stated. 1t is the hope of this commit
tee that a conference OF economists.
engineers and manufacturers may ac-
complish much OF value in, making
general survey of this important field.
The conference will not be in any
way controversial. a clear statement
of research problems and of topics
suitable for collegiate and graduate
courses OF instruction is desired rather
than extended discussion Of deoatable
matters.
The conference group in session
will be filmed by the American high
way educational bureau and will con-
stitute an important scene In Tho

in process to portray the evolution of

Autoists Show Caution
In Buying Only
Best Tires

A.. Odell, local manager for the
Amalgamated Tire Stores Cor
poration, is an optimist nine
tenths of the time and at least
neutral the rest of the time. but
you can get an honest line on
conditions In the tire market
whenever you ask "A" what he
thinks of business.
According to Odell motorists
are buying standard tires in pre-
ference to cheaper grades, due to
the fact that money is being
spent with more care than usual
and economical wear which can
be had only from standard tire
is demanded.
AS evidence. of this fact the
Amalgamated Company's local
store is being stocked heavily
with tires which are known to
the motoring public as standard.
1t is understood that this is
true of all the Amalgamated
stores throughout the United
States.
The Washington store has just
received a carload of standard
tires which are to be placed on
sale at once.

MAJORITY OF CARS
OPERATED IN j. s.
PRODUCE INCOME
Statistics Show 90 Per Cent Of
Machines Used for
/ Business.
Statistics which have been compiled

Statistics which have been compiled
recently by the N. A. C. c., through
QUESTIONABLE sent to thousands of
automobile owners scattered through
out the country, show that 80 per
cent Of the automobiles running in
the United States are used chiefly for
business purposes.
That is, OF the eight million odd pas
senger cars In America In 1920, 1900
900 were contributing economic value
as well as pleasure. The question
naire also showed that In the United
States 81 per cent OF the passenger
mileage run by automobiles was for
business purposes and only 36 per
cent for recreation.
But there is a more important les
son to be learned from these figures
than this. II Is that the automobile,
entirely aside from convenience, so.
cial value or recreation, actually pays
for itself many times over under the
most rigid test Of economic produc'
ton. This came to light when the
QUESTIONABLE showed that the aver.
age owner in America has increased
his earning capacity. which Is prac-
tically the same as his productive
power. by 56.7 per cent through the
use OF his car.
Let us pause moment 10 see Whdt
this means. There we're in the United
States in 1920 100000 automobiles
this means that these cars increased
the productive capacity Of the United
States to the same extent that the ad
dition of $500, 900 men would have
done.
There were manufactured In 1926
approximately 100000 cars, which
will have an average life of more
than five or six years. This means
that the years output OF automobiles
will increase the productive ability
OF the country something like 1100.'
600 men during each OF those years
or give us altogether added resources
amounting to we'll above $500, 00C
work years.
The average price Of the automo
biles manufactured in 1920 was less
than 81 900 each The average income
in the United States has recently been
figured by the United States Bureau
Of Labor at slightly more than II SOC
for each wage-earner.
So IL we figure that the increased
capacity produced by automobiles had
gone only to men of average income
and in fact IL went mostly to men
well above the average-it would be
clear that during the life Of the aver
age car ii would produce for it's owner
something like S5.400 increased in
come, as against the 81 900 it original
ly cost.
These figures have startled many
men. even those who thought they
had realized the value of the auto
mobile.

AUTO DEALERS
URGE PASSAGE
OF ROAD BILL
National Association Starts
Vigorous Lobby for Enactment
of Townsend Measure.

Letters to more than 10000 motor
vehicle dealers have been sent out by
the National Automobile Dealers As
saciation In the last month, calling the
attention Of the trade to the import
ance OF the Townsend bill, providing
for an interstate road system, and a
Federal highway commission.
In addition individual letters and
kilograms have been sent to dealers
in dozen States asking them to bring
to the attention of Senators opposed to
the Townsend bill, evidences that the
general public wants roads that begin
somewhere and end somewhere. AL
ready In Washington and among. the
newspapers sentiment is beginning to
declare that the Federal aid bill with
out the Townsend safeguards will be
nothing more than a pork-barrel APP
preparation, and II In feared that such
stigmatization will forever ruin the
chances of building a national high
way system.
Efforts of opponsuts Of the Town.
send bill were checkmated this last
week in Congress when the Phipps-
Dowell bill as passed in the House
continuing the Federal aid plan as II Ii
at present. was sent to Senator Town
sends committee for report. This Is
the Committee on Postoffices and Post
roads of which he Is the chairman. II
is virtually conceded now that no
measure will be considered on the floor
of the Senate until after definite dis
position has been made of the Town
send bill.
In the meantime It is important that
every dealer take IL upon himself to
assure and reassure his Congressman
and Senator that he is in favor of the
Townsend measure. and to call upon
all business interests of his city and
State to get behind the measure. A
great deal of good can be done by see
ing your lawmakers either when you
are in Washington or when they are
at home and tell them you favor ma
tional road system.

bike and the big part It plays in the
nations daily affairs.
OF late IL seems to have become q
daily occurrence over the country for
bandits and others of their ilk TO use
the automobile for extending their OPP
erations almost at will In broad day
light, but police departments are eff
fectively coping with many OF these
situations through the use OF the
speedy and quick-to-get-away motor
cycle.
According to the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company, review OF the sit
uation indicates that whereas crimi-
nails appear to become more daring
than ever, there IL no abnormal in
crease in the number of crimes thus
committed. but in many cases the Of
lenses are so spectacular as to leave
the impression of a verrtabIe crime
wave. AS a matter of fact, there is
no doubt that the motorcycle police
play a great part in keeping within
bounds the element relying on a quick
getaway as their only salvation.
With the States. most important

crook Is being kept on the run, while
the JOY rider, intoxicated and careless
drivers also are being kept within

A patent was issued on July 10,
1921, TO Ross ID. Heacox, OF Washing
ton, ID. c., an automotive engineer
OF many years experience, for a
process for permanently repairing
scores In automobile cylinders and
cracked water jackers without pre-
heating or welding. This process has
been thoroughly tested during the
past year and a half by Mr.. Heacox
as well as by number of repair
shops in Washington, and work done
by the Bull Dog process, as 1t will
be called, has proved satisfactory and
permanent, and it's development will

BEAVER HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

In the baseball game played with
Forgan High School last Friday after
noon, Beaver High lost by the score OF
8 to 8. The game was an interesting
one turnout. Beaver played a strong
defensive game but was weak in bat
ling. Inability to hit in the pinches
was mainly responsible for our defeat.
Hancock and Goetzinger did the pitch

are working harder than they have at
any other time this year, trying in
some cases, to avoid the semester ex.
aminations by having an average of 80
or above in their daily recitations,
while others who feel that they will be
held to the examinations are studying
hard, determined that nothing shall
deprive them of the credits for this
