States Construct I4,OOO Miles or
 Roads This Year

The work Of providing for and building good roads throughout the United States is going forward at a very rapid rate, according to eports that have come from the department of public roads, United States de- partment of agriculture, and in the belief of Bob Hunsick of the Frank lin Motor company, this work is destined to continue in the future i.n- til every place of importance on the map of the country, whether it be a city, village or park, will be bound together by miles of improved high ways.
 Recent figures have It." states Hunsick, that approximately 1i.00o miles of road have been constructed during the present year by. the various states, in conjunction with Federal aid, as is reported by the bureau of public roads, the United 1 States departm of agriculture 1 It is further stated in the report | that more miles of improved road have been built than during any | other year.

 And with the meteoric pace with which motoring is growing in the United States, the What shall give" problem has been reduced to a veritable cinch. That much, at least, is to be gained from the lively inter est that is being manifested in Christmas displays of automotive equipment as well as the completed automobile.

 Special machinery has been invent ed and patented for the express pur- pose of building Buick cars strictly along scientific lines, which Quinlan claims accounts for the well balanced chassis and easy-riding 1922 models.
 The materials which are used in the
 manufacture of these cars are sub- jected to chemical analysis and rigid tests before they are transported to the different buildings to be made in- to axles, gears, etc. Special labora- tories have been erected and equipped with the most modern instruments for 1 testing purposes.

The Do -es, wheels. axies, transmissions and all parts are constructed in separate buildings. and through the endless chain method of transporting these various units to the assembly plants there is no loss of time or expense in handling. so that when Buick oar is ready for shipment every part has gone through a rigid test from the time the chemists begin their oper- ations in the experimental laborato- ries until the motor is run and tested under its own power.

The reduction just announced by the Prest-O-Lite company makes the present selling price of Prest-O-Lite batteries for Fords, certain types of Chevrolets. Bucks, Overlands and veveral other small cars and trucks, T per cent less than the price that prevailed during the greater portion of 1921. and 45 per cent below 1920 prices This brings the prices of high grade standard automobile storage batteries down to the lowest point that motor car owners have known in several years.
 This last reduction in storage battery prices will be welcomed by the automotive public and is a fur ther indication of the purpose of the Prest -O-Lite company to reduce prices as quickly as possible to a pre-war basis" says A. S. Earnhart of the Battery Service company. High prices of storage batteries. at least as far as Prest-O-Lite is con- cerned. can take to a deep hole and pull the hole in after them.
 Tt will be recalled that Presto O. Lite was tEe last manufacturer to increase prices and the first to an nounce a reduction.
 These new prices will apply to all types and sizes and are for the pow erful, long lived Prest- Lite bat teries that are now standard equip ment on g. makes of motor cars and trucks.
 --Oniy one grade of battery is man. ufactured by. the PrestO-Lite com pany and every car owner who pur- chases a battery of this name can rest assured that he is securing the best and highest grade product that modern engineering skill can produce
 Tt will no doubt surprise many motorists to learn that practically one-Iiaf of the new cars sold on the Pacific coast during the first six month of 1921 were equipped witf Prest-O- Lite batteries. In some sec tions of the Pacific coast the percen- tage of new cars that were Presto Lite equipped running as high as 6( per cent.
 T would unhesitatingly say tha1 the main reason why rest-O-Lite i: now able to make a second reduction in prices is because of the tremen' dous volume of these batteries tha are sold throughout the United States This volume. which, tn, country over, runs into many ten

The motor car industry has reached the stage where the engineers must bend every energy in the curtailment of expense in construction and at the same time retain the quality of the materials and workmanship. Realiz- ing the importance of this, the Buick engineers during the past two years have centralized their various units SC that today the Buick sixes and tours are built virtually in their en- tirety in the forty separate plants at Flint, Mich.
 According to Larry Quinlan of Bab- bitt Brothers, this means high class car at minimum expense of produc- ton, because it enables the designers and engineers to personally supervise the construction and permits the

 ''The fact that road building is making rapid strides forward. al d. indeed, is becoming cheaper, should be a cause of considerable rejoic- ing, for, after all is said and Sone. the country which maintains the finest system of roads in the world is destined to be the most pro- gressive, for by means of good roads we are able to associate more with each other. and the association of in dividuals is one of the greatest means of education known to the hu- man race"

The workout was long because of
the fact that IL was the final one Of
the week-that despite the warm
weather. The backs had considerable
work running back punts in addition
to their regular work of passing and
falling on the ball. Aldrich and o.
Hearn did most of the punting. For
