LINCOLN HIGHWAY
IDEAL STRETCH IS
WELL UNDER WAY
Indiana Section Being
Constructed After Two
Years Planning.

DETROIT. Mich. Aug. Is.-The
far-famed stretch of model road
known as the Ideal Section of the
Lincoln Highway is. after nearly
two years Of preliminary research
and detailed work. now under con-
struct.on In Lake County. Ind
The contracts for the construction
were closed recently In Indianapolis.
when Stone and Webster Inc. Of
Boston. Mass. acting as agents for
the Lincoln Highway Association.
undertook to build a section of road
which will cost, with all appurten-
ances. approximately 100000 q
mile. at price Of $4,000 per mile
to the State of Indiana. Stone and
Webster, under whose supervision
the work will proceed, let the con-
struction contract to J. c. O'Con-
nor and Sons. of Fort Wayne. Ind.
Already the work on this stretch.
which will perhaps be one of the
most talked about and studied Sec
tions of highway in the world. is
under way.
In addition to the s33.ooo per mile
provided by the State, Lake County
authorities have assured SIS. 900
from the county funds. and steps
have already been taken by the
County Council and Commissioners
to provide this sum as the county's
share. The extra expense OF the
section beyond the sum supplied by
the State and county, which Is
equivalent to what the construction
of the usual State specifications
would cost, will be met by the Lin
coin Highway Association. through
special fund provided by the
United States Rubber Company. 1t
is expected that the paving work
will be completed by the end OF Oc-
tober.. many details, including the
lighting installation, the beautii-
cation of the right-of-way, etc, re-
naming for accomplishment next
spring.
In the design OF this unique sec
ton of the Lincoln Highway is en-
bodied the major thought Of fifteen
of the foremost experts in highway
engineering and construction and
related problems in the United
States who. acting without recon-
pense. as the technical committee OF
the Lincoln Highway Association,
developed the general plan which
was carried to detailed completion
through the collaboration of the
engineering department of the In
diana State Highway Commission

by the Bureau of Public Roads of
the Department of Agriculture
toward this construction, the de-
velopment of which will be closely
followed by the Federal authorities

Convention of Delegates Aids

Lee Highway. a cross-continent
line from Washington. d. c.. through
the South to San Diego, Cal, moved
up much nearer to completion through
a convention held recently at Law
ton. Okla. In spite of the strike al
most 1000 delegates spent two days
in organizing and in working out
construction program to close all the
gaps of this great highway across
Oklahoma and Texas. Five brass
bands. one of sixty pieces, enlivened
proceedings. National leaders joined
State and county officials in arrang-
ing the working plan to push con-
struction until this road. building

Following the convention DR.. S. NJ.

1t was necessary to shift gears only
once and that was on a hill where

only a day for the inspection. hence
the necessity for speed.

'Hurnanize Motor,

Company Official Stresses
Need of Personal Touch in
Auto Manufacturing.

Those who have been associated
with r. H. Co!lins-and. therefore,
know him best-declare that per-
haps the re Ct impressive and re-
sultful thought which he has incul-
Gated in the minds OF the members
of his organization relates to what
he calls "Huma Izing the Motor
Car"
The point he brings out is that
the supreme achievement in motor
car building is something more than
a combination of engineering ge-
MUS. metallurgical skill. masterful
design. scrupulous choice of mate
rails, fine manufacturing equip
ment and unlimited financial
strength.
As Collins himself expresses 1t:
The history of the automobile
shows that all of these elements
have been supplied in varying pro-
portions during the past twenty
five years. Yet not one-nor even
all-of them was enough TO spell
the difference between the ordinary
and the exceptional.
"Superadded to them must be a
something which is almost like
breathing life into lifeless metals
giving to the completed product
an entity as much its own as the
personality of a man.

esses Of theory and practice with

ITO achieve this ambition We our
selves must submerge our con-
seriousness of such individual genius
as that which we may possess and
unite with our co-workers in con-
certed and harmonious group action

tion-all to the end that Peerless
