MACHINERY'S PART
in MAKING OF
AUTOS

Special machinery for the manu-
facture of motor cars is now as i'm
portant part of big industrial plants
as the steel which is used. Modern
methods of building automobiles have
brought the cost of turning out cars
down to minimum, which makes it
possible for millions Of people to pur-
chase motor cars who otherwise would
still be obliged to rely upon other
means of transportat ton.
In the manufacture and the as
sembling of Buick cars, the engineers
of the Buick Motor Company have
devoted many years Of painstaking eff
fort to invent and devise special ma
chinery and tools for the proper
handling and building of Buick auto
mobiles. The result is that the big
factories at Flint, Mich. have been
brought to such remarkable state of
efficiency, the public is enabled to
buy the present high-class 1922 models
of Buick cars, eleven in all, at a
price far below what it would be pos
sible to turn out cars of this type if
it were not for the inventive engin-
eers who grace the payroll of the
Buick Motor Company.
Officials of the Howard Automobile
Company point out that owing to the
use Of such excellent machinery and
with expert workmen who are drilled
in the proper use Of same, the Michi-
gan plant can build car that is prac-
tically free from minor troubles. There
are many individual features incor-
porated in the chassis of the present
Buick models that have been brought
about as a result of the experimental
work carried on in the experimental
department. of the factory, exclusively
devoted to this purpose. This enables
the assembling plant Of the immense
factory to turn out car free from
defects and in perfect working order
when placed in the hands of the owner
upon arrival at it's destination.
Thousands of new Buick cars in the
hands of satisfied owners that are
daily rolling up big mileage at low
cost Of upkeep is the best proof of
this economical and efficient method

NOTHING CAN STOP
AUTOIS7S COMING


Nothing can stop motorists from
|driving to Southern California.
Adverse weather conditions on
some of the transcontinental routes
fare laughed at by auto parties which
have decided to visit this part of
America during. the winter, ACCORDING
to the Automobile Club of Southern
California.
And SO keen is the Joy Of the visit
.ors upon arriving here that every
party becomes magnet for drawing
friends to the coast, it is pointed out.
Automobile club officials are of the
opinion that transcontinental motor
travel to Southern California will in
crease by thirty-five percent each
year from now on, so strong has the
lure of the west penetrated through
out the east. This lure is one of cli-
mate as well as touring conditions.
Every section Of the southern part
Of California is being benefited this
year by the unusual influx of motor
ing visitors, point out the Auto clubs
touring officials. Every county in the
state is being inspected" by the
new arrivals in a manner more thor
ough than ever before. The number
of parties reaching here over the
transcontinental routes this winter
is one of the touring wonders of the
year.
More than 100 parties day are
coming into the southern section
from the east alone, and scores more
from the north and from neighbor-
ing states. All calling at club offices
make known their appreciation of the
receptions rendered them every
where.

v y
OF the appropriation Of $15D00 900
for the improvement Of national for
est roads $5,000,000 was made avail
able for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1922, and $10,000,000 for the fol-
lowing fiscal year.
Several New Features
The federal highway act in a gem
eral way resembles the federal aid act
of 1916, but contains several new
features. Administration Of the act
by the secretary Of agriculture, and
under him the bureau Of public roads,
remains unchanged.
Apportionment of the fund to the
states is almost the same as in the
previous act, the fund being divided
into three parts, one part apportiOncd
according to population, one accord
ing to area and the third according to
mileage of rural and star mail routes.
A new feature is the stipulation that
no state shall receive less than one
half Of one per cent of the total fund
which amounts to $365,625. This
stipulation will Increase the amount
received by four of the smaller states,
Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and Vermont.
Considerable change, however, is
made by the act in the manner in
which state may use its allotment.
Each state must select connected
road system NOT exceeding seven per
cent OF it's road mileage tor lmprove-
ment with federal aid. This system
will be divided into two classes, one
of which will be known as interstate
highways and the other as intercounty
highways. The interstate highways
must not exceed three e-sevcnths of the
system selected; on them not more
than 60 per cent of the states allot-
ment can be spent without the joint
approval of the secretary of agricul-
ture and the state highway depart
ment. The intercounty highways,
which consist Of the remainder of the
system selected, will receive the re-
mainder Of the states allotment.
Means Much to Nation
Except in states where more than
5 per cent Of the area is unappropri-
ated public land, the amount Of fed
eral aid received on any project must
not exceed so percent of the estimated
cost. In states where more than per
cent of the area is unappropriated
public land the SO per cent allotment
is increased by an amount equal to
.one-half the percentage of unappro-
priated public land in the state. Before
any funds can be paid 60 q state, the
state must appropriate money, under
the direct control Of the state high
way department, to match the federal

FEDERAL MONEY FOR
CALIFORNIA ROAD
MAKING
Nearly TW0 nssd Half Millions
Come to State From
Washington
ImHeridL County to Haze Plate
Up For It's Just
Proportion

California now has $2,462, ,Q98 avail
able for new highway construction
under the federal highway act recent
ly signed by President Harding, and
Of that quota, Imperial county expects
just and proportionate share for
local road work, it was said here to-
day by those conversant with the
situation.
The $2,462,098 is but part OF
$75,000,000 which became available
for the United States under recent
appropriation.
In addition, $15,OoO,O0O was appro-
priated for national forest roads. The
$75,0O0,000 represents the federal
governments appropriation to the
work Of building highways in the var
ious states and must be matched, dol
lar for dollar, by funds from the state
treasures except in states where not
more than per cent of the area is
unappropriated public land.
Entire Sum Available
The s75,000,000 appropriated is for
the ficsal year ending June 80, 1922,
and the entire sum is now available.
Here is how the money will be APP
pQrtioned among the 48 states: #

allotment, and for Che maintenance of
federal aid highways.
What the new appropriation will
mean to the country can be judged by
the use to which the $275,OO0,00O
previously appropriated has been put,
according to officials Of the United
States department of agriculture.
Practically $2OO,OO0,000 of that money
has been put to work in projects which
are either entirely completed or now
under construction. To match this
amount the. states have appropriated
$265, ,000, 600.
