Ireland on Sunday on the steamship scythia, the
largest amount OF mail ever carried IN one batch
from that country TO America. 1t marks the human

bore some expression OF exhuberance over the final
arrival OF peace in Ireland.

Urges Care In
Use of Tires

In spite of manufacturing irc-
provements in tire development
and in quantity production that
have given a standard product and
reduced cost a hundred percent
to the consumer. the motorist him
self has not been made to realize
how much additional saving he
can add by giving his tires the
some intelligent care that he gives
to his motor or other parts.
The motorist has failed TO ap-
nreciate that 80 percent OF thema-
terlals that go into high grade
pneumatic tire are of a vegetable
nature, and consequently perish
aLle, and that the rapidity of per-
ishableness depends to consider
able degree on the extent of un-
necessary exposure of the tire to
the deteriorating combination of
moisture, light and heat as well as
avoidable destructive abuses such
as cuts, abrasions and ruptures.

Good Roads Said
To Be Greatest
NntiOnaIP Problem

( debut. well meaning person who
might be seen but not heard. Usu-
ally he was promptly sat down
upon" by the lugubrious taxpayer.
Opposition gradually melted and
as the campaign became more fully
organized and extended. Since
1880 more than $4,000, 900, 900
has been spent for highway i'm
proyement in the United States
and Canada. More than $1,000
OO0. 900 is now available, and. ST.
500, 900, 900 additional will be me-
cessary to carry out projects under
contemplation. And yet, with all
this, only beginning has been
made. Billions more must be ex-
pended before the country has
anything like a highway system
adequate to the traffic needs.
The great demand for good road
and the progress made in road
building has evolved many types
of hard surfaced roadway Of which
the bituminous are in greatest gen
eral use. The popularity Of these
types, especially those of the sheet
asphalt, the asphaltic concrete
and asphaltic macadam, is due to
their long wearing qualities, resil-
iency against traffic impact, dust
lessness, noiselessness, cleanliness
and low cost OF upkeep. Brick and
concrete roads have also developed
with the agitation as have the
wooden block and granite block
types. The most recent available
figures give All percent Of the
surfaced roads in the United Sta
tes as being Of gravel, 25.22 per
cent as Of macadam, 177.16 per
cent as of cand-clay, 1923 per
cent as of asphalt and other btu
minous materials, 3.91 per cent of
concrete and 0.62 per cent of
cent of brick. The figures for the
asphaltic and brick types-a total
of 1868 per cent show the extent
to which the city's types OF pave
ment have been adopted in the
rural districts. The wooden block
and the granite block types do not
appear to have progressed as yet
beyond the city boundaries.
Federal Aid Given.
The extent to which the dustless
types OF pavement are being adop-
ted is further shown by testimony
given recently before the senate
committee on postoffices and post
roads at Washington by. Thomas
II. Macdonald, chief of the United
States bureau of public roads,
whose tabulations showed that 107
federal aid projects completed and
paid for TO May 25. this year, we're

ials.

The growth OF "The Good
Roads Movement" in the United
States and Canada since its organi-
cation in 1880, and with the great
stimulus it received in the periods
Immediately following the advent
OF the automobile and the appear
ance OF the motor truck has been
so rapid, so extensive and 50 effec-
tive that highway construction to-
day constitutes one OF the greatest
II not the greatest, problems in
American economic life.
There are now 1902 organized
agencies actively and directly
pleading the cause of good roads.
The agitation, to date, has brot
about the construction OF $40. 900
miles of surfaced highways-rais-
ing the highway mileage of the
United States to2 .47S,552 and that
OF Canada to 255, 900.
The automotiye industry, fourth
largest in the country, with 1858
manufacturing plants capitalized
at $1.2O4.37S.642 and employing
$4,000 workmen; having an an
nual output a 2.205,197 pass
enger cars and trucks valued at
$3,594,S14.620, and supplemented
as It is, by 1900 firms producing
auto parts valued at $500, 900, 900
q year, together with 1000 firms
manufacturing annually $4,000
900 tires valued at 81 900, 700, 900
is absolutely dependent upon good
highway improvement for its sta
bility and upon increased road
mileage for greater expansion. In
addition, $4,000 distributors of
automobiles are involved as well
as 45,S00 dealers in automobile
accessories and 35. 900 dealers in
tires, SO great, too, has the road
building industry become, in con-
sequence OF the demand for i'm
proved roads, that there are now
1900 contracting firms engaged
In actual construction work. The
roads are now traversed by 9,2f1,-
.295 licensed cars and trucks, of
which 100000 are used on the
farms. These cars consumed 5000,
100000 gallons Of gasoline last
year.
Movement Began After 1880.
Prior to 1880, when Amos G..
Batchelder, late chairman OF the
executive board, American Auto
mobile association at Washington,
with II. s. Earle of Detroit and
other pioneer advocates. organized
the league of American Wheelmen
and began systematic campaign,
a good roads enthusiast was looked

amusement as something of a

brought quick, embarrassed flush to
Alix's face. AliI did not enjoy a
certain type Of joking, and she did not
concede Martin even the ghost OF
smile. He Immediately sobered and
remarked that he himself liked to be
indoors at night. His suitcase was
accordingly taken into the pleasant
little wood-smelling room next to Pc
ter's, where the autumn sunlight,
scented with the dry sweetness OF
mountain shrubs, was streaming.

den, Cherry was dressing. II was an
exquisite hour Of leng shadows and

damp, clean hands and trinity brushed
hair. for supper, when Peter came up
through the garden. Cherry had ram

few moments before, but Martin had
followed her and brought her back,
remsrking that she had had no idea

Antoine milking. She slipped into her
place after they were all eating, and
hardly raised her eyes throughout the
meal. If Alx addressed her she nut
tered the white lids as II II were an
absolute agony to hook up; to Peter
she did not speak at all. But TO Mar
tin she sent an occasional answer
and when the conversation Jagged, as
II was apt to do In this company, she
nervously filled Il with random re-
marks infinitely less reassuring than
silence.

to his pockets, staring at the racing
blue water with sOnber eyes.

Cherry's thoughts were with Peter.
In her soul she felt as II his arm was

TO him the whole troubled story, sure
that he would rescue and console her.
She had wiped her eyes aud some
what recovered calm, but she trusted
herself only to shrqg her shoulder as
