 BEING SPENT
 FOR H|GHNAYS

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Oct. 22- SpeciaI-That the federal govern ment in cooperation with the states can promote the establishment of a great and necessary public utility and at the same time give employ ment to more than 1.00e. 900 men is a fact conservatively and logically pointed out in statement issued here recently by the good roads board of the American Automobile. Association
 In it's statement the A. A. A. Says:
 Expenditures for public roads and bridges outside of incorporated cities will amount to approximately s600.- O00,0O0 during the current calendar year. This vast expenditure is ap- piled to the payment of labor. ma terials, machinery, and profits. Of this sum, approximately $500 COG. DOC, by the end of December will have gone for the employment of labor
 On the basis of S3 pers day this means that during the current year there is being applied to public high ways of the cOuntry about 166, ,000,- 1 900 labor days. Thus. on the bass | of 200 working days. employment will have been given to about $50, ,000 laborers.
 Hence. if the pending federal aid
 providing an additional S75.0ea. .0Oe of federal money to be matched by | 75.000,0 900 of state money. during | the calendar year 1922. becomes q ! law, there will probably ne expended ! during the year on public roads in the United States approximately | $500. 900 .00O. of which about S640. 0O0.O00 will be applied to the efn- ployment of labor On the basis of
 s3 per day, and giving 200 working i that very likely during 1922 more | ployed in the building of roads and | roads machinery therefor through . out the United States
 Tt is estimated that during 1921
 about S500. .000, 900 will be expended
 on street work in the different cities ! in the United States. and that dur | ing 1922 at least S600, ,000. 800 will be expended Tor this purpose. On thls
 basis, approximately 150 .000 labor
 CTS will be employed on street work. 'making the total of 1.75e.000 labor CTS engaged in combined street and highway maintenance and building.
 Tt would seem. therefore. that the early passage of the pending roads legislation. which would provide for the continuation of this activity, | would be most direct and sensible
 means of solving the unemployment problem and thus help to restore the
 national prosperity"

 Oldfield Will Be Here
 Barney eldfield, the pioneer of au- tomobile racing, has long been out of the speed business as an active par ticipant in racing. bul his love for the sport and the dirt track where he won fame has prompted him to come back and stage one more big show. Barney will reach Phoenix about No vember 1 and in the meanwhile is spending his time completing ar engagements for the two day motor carnival to be held at the fair grounds November 9 and 12 It has been some time since Barney opened the throttle on race car. but he may be induced to give an exhibition in modern chariot to prove that he has lost none of his old time skill and daring
 The successful effort of the sports of Phoenix, led by Ed Ruholph. to se- cure Barney Oldfield's support were successful and the great master driv CT corraled the rest of the speed demons.
 Track 5peeded Up
 When the August floods cut through the fair ground track the fair commissioners got busy to guard against future dangers from flood waters ana raised the north east turns to check the waters This move gave birth to brilliant idea why not bank all turns and speed up the track? The work, once started. was carried through and treacherous flat turns of the local track were banked, affording greater speed to the drivers and reducing the dangers that lurked in the pathway of the driver who failed to slow down on the turn.
 It will not be a question of seconds. but minutes should be clipped from the old record of 1 hour, 24 minutes. 2-5 seconds made by Milton. Race fans who have watched the drivers speed on the straightaway and clamp the brakes on the turns can appreci- ate the increased speed that will re- suit from a banked turn. The driver can maintain an even speed and the time lost in building up after uak- ing the corner can he utilized in clip ping seconds from the old records.
 This year OIdfieId has contracted with four of the greatest automobile race pilots the world has ever known. EacH holds a pIaCe III the motor world that will stand for years to come
 De Palma Peer of Track Ralph de Palma, the most popular driver of the quartet has just re- D turned from Europe, where he was a | favorite in both the French and Ital- ian Grand Prix races. He did not win, but he gave the crowds the 1 thrill, and without thrill an auto . race is uninteresting except s test of the mechanical powers of the au- tomobile itself Hair-raising acci- dents hate forced De Palma out of i the money more times than most i drivers have finished. He has the fastest car in the world for the pis- F ton classificatt ton allowed and he is bringing his S@5 coo French Ballot & iu-a-row cyIndered ear 10 Phoenix for tho November races His one ambition is to break AIiltous dirt 1 track record and for the first time ! the French Ballot will speed uv. r q l dirt course.

Of great interest to the public in general, and the motoring public es- pecially. is tue announcement that the three mile stretch of road, from the city limits of Phoenix. to the point where the state began the pavement of the Tempe highway. will be completed within the next six weeks, barring accident.
 The contractors announce that the part from Sixteenth street to the Asylum road will be completed, and open to traffic within the next 10 days.
 This will mark the passing of one of the valleys oldest and worst known landmarks, l. e. the chuck holes and machine wrecking. three mile stretch of the Tempe road. Our valley has been known almost from coast to coast by this one piece of road over which all traffic from east ern and southern points has been routed. The one impression that the average tourist has carried away with him is that our much advertised roads are nothing more than old worn out oil and caliche pavements. Without a doubt, this has been the worst piece of road in the entire val ley, and the one over which most of the incoming traffic has come.
 Taxpayers have howled to the city, state and county, and at last we have had action, and the state has gone to work on it.
 J. T. Whitney, the undertaken. a strong booster for good roads and Studebaker automobiles, made a tour of inspection of the new road last Thursday in a new Big Six, and was much impressed with the progress
