Road Building Can't
Keep Up With Cars

With more automobiles being bought
than ever in the history of the indus
try, touring this summer will lose its
appeal to many a motorist.
Not that the roads are bad, but
that they are few.
There are some 100000 miles of sur
faced roads in the country, and the
federal government is planning the
construction Of some 10000 miles
more in the next fifteen or twenty
wears. in connection with the state
building programs.
But production of automobiles is
going so fast, road building could
never hope to catch up with it. For
example, last March was the greatest
auto production month in the history
of the industry. More than $4,000
vehicles were put out that month. But
April came along with even bigger
figure-S64, 000-66 per cent greater
than that of April, 1922.
And there seems to- be no let-up in
the demand for more!
In spite of the progress in highway
construction everywhere, it does not
come near satisfying the demand for
more road room coming from the un-
usually increased number of automos
bile owners. The present program
calls for only about ten per cent in
crease in road construction annually.
Yet the number of automobiles in the
country seems to be increasing at the
rate of about rs per cent annually.
IL, l,v
Crowding on the highways. No joy
for the driver, for he must keep his
eyes front and his nerves tense. It's
like going to a popular bathing
resort on hot day and trying to
enjoy yourself.
What will come of this is hard to
tell, unless there is prospect of in
PRODUCING the next form of travel-by
air-in the near future. Civilization
is coming to this-when people will
rise directly from the earth and fly
about over the heads of pedestrians.

new COMPANY
GETS CHARTER
Kenosha Citizens Loan &
Investment Co., Gets
State Charter.
HAS 100000 STOCK
Promoters of New Company
Appear to be Strangers to Fl
nancial Leaders of KenOsha.

The Kenosha Citizens Loan and In
vestment company, new financial or
ganization with a capital stock of
two hundred thousand dollars, Joined
the list of incorporated companies in
Kenosha today when articles fer the
organization of the company, issued
by the secretary of state were filed
for record in the office of the register
of deeds.
The incorporators of the new or
ganizatien are Clara H. Boyer, Gladys
A. Reynolds and Ernest H. Petit. The
articles of organization were drawn
by Sanborn, Blake and Arberg, we'll
known Madison attorneys, and the
state charter was given the sanction
of the secretary of state on Saturday
Company Given Wide Powers.
Under the charter issued to the
company by the state it will have
wide powers. The stock of the COM
pany is divided into 5000 shares of
preferred stock at twenty-five dollars
share and 1000 shares of the COM
mon stock at the same par value. II
is not announced as to whether the
stock of the company has been sub
scribed or not.
Under the charter the company may
deal in stocks and bonds, and all kinds
of securities. 1t is empowered to aid
in the, promotion of industries by the
organization of such industries and by
dealing in the stocks Of them, it car
deal in contracts for real estate, issue
bonds under it's corporate name, nego-
tiate loans and mortgages--and deal
in letters patent.
IncOrporatOrs Not Known Here.
While the charter indicates that the
principal Office of the company will be
in the city of Kenosha it is evident
that the promoters of the new com.
pany are not widely known to Keno
sha None of the names mentioned IL
the charter of the company are found
in the city directory of Kenosha ant
efforts to obtain information in re.
gard to the promoters Of the company
at the various banks of the city failed
to bring out any further information
1t is believed that the parties are al
from Madison. So far as has beer
discovered the company has not open
ed any offices in the city.
RSome time ago a Madison company
organized for a similar purpose sought
to open branch of it's business in
Kenosha and several well-known mer
of the city were sought for the di-
rectorate. 1t is believed possible that
this new company is an outgrowth Of
the same plan.

SEVEN ARE DEAD In
INTERURBAN CRASH
Car Strikes Automobile Near Detroit
With Death Dealing Force and
Many are Killed.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

tBy Associated Press Leased Wlre)
Detroit, Mich. = With the seven
victims Of the crash identified, Oak
land county authorities today were
investigating circumstances surround
ing the collision on Woodward avenue
road, about ten miles north of De-
troit, last evening of an automobile
and southbound interurban car.
In addition to the seven who met
death, all of whom were Detroiters, a
dozen or more passengers of the IN
terurban were cut by broken glass or
were injured when they jumped from
the car after it crashed into the au-
tomobile.
The dead are: Joseph Kapinsky,
IS; Beatrice Cholpcik, IS; Mary
Chanczuls, IT; Mary Trash, 20, and
Anna Trash, 1s, sisters, and Aloysius
Balcar, Jr., 81, and his brother, Jo-
seph, IS.
According to witnesses of the acct
dent an automobile containing the
first five named, swerved upon the in
terurban tracks to pass another auto
mobile that had stalled. The interur-
ban struck the machine, broke it in
pieces, and hurled the engine many
feet into an automobile occupied by
the Balcar brothers. The Balcars
were so seriously injured that they
died soon after being taken to a hos
pital. The FIVE occupants of the first
motor car were killed instantly and
their bodies were burned when the
gasoline tank Of their machine caught
fire.
The air brakes of the interurbar
were broken by the impact and the
motorman was unable to stop the cal
for two blocks.

SMALLER CARS
MAY BE BUILT
Europe Leads in Movement
to Build Smaller and
Better Autos.
ECONOMY IS SOUGHT

Europe is coming to teach America
how to build small cars.
The occasion will be the interna-
tional 500-mile race to be held at In
dianapolis on Decoration Day. Then,
for the first time since the war,
foreign drivers will be at hand to take
part in the event. South America,
Italy, France, England and Germany
will participate on an equal basis-if
not more so-with the American driv-
ers. And from these, engineers ex-
pect to learn much about the con-
stfuction Of the small car.
For this will be a small car race
limited to 122 cubic inches piston dis
placement, quite a reduction from the
183-inch size of last year.
And who but the European engineers
are greater experts at his kind of au-
tomobile? The war has made them So
High cost of fuel and machine parts
have driven the foreign manufactur-
developed this motor to such a degree
of perfection that America will have
much to learn from them.
Development Slow.
In the United States, not being so
hard-pressed for economy, the engin-
GERS have not exeTted as much effort
toward the construction of smaller,
more economical motor. But the de-
mand for such cars has been increas-
ing so steadily that it has finally come
up for serious consideration on this
side of the Atlantic.
The American ears this year will be
motor freaks. They will have only one
man each, the mechanic being elimin-
ated and they will be just wide enough
in body to allow the driver to squeeze
into place. From the radiator tip to
the rear the whole car will be ex-
tremely streamlined to reduce wind re-
sistance to a minimum.
Economy Sought.
How to effect further economies in
motor car construction will be the
chief problem, the solution of which
is expected to come through the aid of
these foreign cars. The indianapolis
and other races have. already helped
considerably toward the perfection of
engine and carburetor designs and the
reduction of fuel consumption.
In these respects the Indianapolis
| races are more than mere sporting
events to the automobile driver. Their
outcome points to the future develop
ment of the general run of automo-
biles seen on the roads today.
From the mechanical difficulties and
experiences encountered on the race
track will come the little corrections
here and there that will make. for bet
ter, more economical and cheaper au-
tomobiles in the future.

wAsHINGToN-THE RICH BOY.

| T INCOLN-the poor boy-had to
| Washington-th rich boy-had to ov-
ercome the handicap of riches. A boy
! who is born in family where he has
everything without any exertion on his
part and who can, if he wishes to do
so, idle away his time, must rouse
/ himself and work as hard as a poor
boy to amount to anything.
| George Washington, the first presi-
dent of the United States, was born at
Bridges Greek, Westmoreland county,
Virginia, February %, 1882.
| His family were in very easy circum-
stances. The usual life of boy born
en- one Of the old southern plantations
i'll Virginia was having good time
hunting and fishing with a very little
schooling to enable him to read
and write and keep accounts. But the
main idea was having good time.
But this boy, George Washington,
was not made up that way. All sorts
Of stories are told of him-some true,
to something and that he would get cut
some untrue-but they all show that
he very early determined to amount
from under the power Of the easy life
in which he had been born.
His mother had great influence over
him. 1t is said that she taught him
| four things which assisted largely in
making him what he afterwards be-
came: Ito always speak the truth,
come what would; 2-To be obedient
I 10 IN +Lo ~, o1nc
| Of his religion; 3--To be frugal (this
was great teaching considering the
fact Of the wealth of the family; T.
To be industrious when there was little
call for it in his case.
The schools were quite elementary in
this boys time and so when he was 16
years Of age-refusing to live at his
ease-he struck out for himself. He
chose to be surveyor, at first, on the
Fairfax estate and then for three years
on the wild frontier of a new country.
He had to live in the most primitive
way, in doing his work, and to undergo
many hardships. But this was the
/ style of this boy. In this hard, rough
| life on the frontier he learned the
lessons which were of so much use to
him when he led the Continental army
to victory.
No wonder that it was said of George
Washington that he was first in war,
first in peace. and first in the hearts
of his countrymen,"
Look at our text and note how it fits
this great character. The name OF this
great man has power not only over our
country but over other nations, be-
cause he overcame the handicap Of his
birth and his circum stances.
The regulations of some men fade
out, after few years, and finally go
out like burnt-out candle, but George
Washington and his principles are bet
ter known today and are doing more
good than even while he was alive be-
cause he is better understood.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Berlin.-Germany's new reparations
program, as it is now outlined will
literally be constructed from "the
ground up" for it will rest primarily
in a nation wide real estate mortgage.
What promises to become the great
est hypothecation of land in the his
tory of economics will eventually en-
compass every square inch of German
soil, which will be made to pay tribute
to Germany's former foes for a period
of 80 years. u
The assessment will be on a basis
of fifty per cent of the present gold
values. Five hundred million gold
marks annually will flow into the
Reichs reparation melting pot from
this source during the first few years.
The ultimate yearly total will approx
innate one billion gold marks, the in
crease depending upon the promptness
with which metropolitan real estate
can be subjected to the mortgaging
process.
A beginning will be made with the
agricultural land and the physical
properties of the industrials. The
plan for the great mortgage is the
most important point in the program
of the German league OF Industrial
lists as submitted to Chancellor Cuno
for the perusal of the government
This organization indicates its readi-
ness to assume payment of forty per
cent of the Hypothetical sum Of $780,
100000 gold marks which it believes
the government can raise by assess
! ment on the industrialists properties
The remaining sixty per cent would
be guaranteed by the banking, COM
mercial, shipping and agrarion inter
ests.
IndustriaIists to Aid.
The government has been advised
that a group of half dozen leading
industrialists is prepared to guaran-
tee to- the federal government 600,00O,-
600 gold marks annually for the op-
Grating privilege. of the federal rail
ways, waterways, posts and tele-
graphs. a7aa
In the memorandum handed to Herr
Cuno, the industrialists estimate that
1,100,000,000 gold marks annually for
the next few years could be derived
from the initial mortgage on the land
and from the administration of utili-
ties by the business interests.
The leagues memorandum frankly
stresses the need for ''an intensified
tion of labor" in behalf of Germany S
PREPARATIONS bill, and suggests that al
though the eight-hour day will con-
tinue sin principle" workers in all
lines must strive for an increase in
both quality and quantity production
The government is also politely re-
quested to abandon commercial enter
prises which are in competition with
the private undertakings.
