CREDIT FOR TRUCK

 Goodrich Engineers Point Out Conn
 merciaI Car Promotes Good Roads
 When a hurrying motorist on a highway grows ireful toward the heavy laden truck blocking his pas sage he should cool down, and re- fleet that the smooth pavement on which he is riding is there by grace of the truck, and It's kind, Is the Goodrich Rubber company
 While the passenger automobile has played a big role in the develop ment of our highway system, the commercial car, thep point out, is at the bottom responsible for the roads being built. The passenger car quickens interest in new roads and better roads by translating them Into terms of comfort and enjoyment, but it is the truck that provides the pros perity that mikes it possible to pay for it.
 Our great railways, the main lines of transportation, have come to re- quire secondary lines with fast and efficient service to feed them with the products of soil and industry. The motor truck fits into this inn portant link of distribution.
 The tourist does not enjoy the crowded thoroughfares, and his horn too often fails to.stir the truck driver ahead to yield half vhe pavement, yet the freight that the truck carries Is producing the very capital which as- sures. a. continuance of road build ing programs and an extension of the pleasure range of the tourist

WIDER ARTERIAL STREETS F0R AUTO TRAFFIC J R GE [ J
Cost Of Solving Congestion Constantly Increasing,
 Says Club President

Widen and open up necessary ar terial streets and avenues to handle present and future motor vehicle traffic now" is the recommendation of Chas. Davis, president of the B = mingham AutomobiIe Club. Mir. Davis feels that one of the most inn portant fields of activities of the A. A. A. and the three hundred af- filiated clubs and associations of which Birmingham is one is to CO., operate in every way possible with the traffic authorities of the var ous cities in the solution of prob lems relative to handling the con- statly increasing traffic. The ques- tion he points out not only involves expediting traffic but also the sav- ing of lives.
 Practically all of our cities and larger towns were planned before the days of the motor vericle," said MT. Davis. Many cities and towns were developed to their present pro- portions without any plan. With narrow streets or without an ade- quate number of connected thorough fares from the suburbs to the heart of the city, traffic authorities in the majority of our cities are staying W k e nights wondering how they are going to handle the present day motor traffic. Temporary eX- pediences such as more traffic off, ficers, one way streets, etc. are adopted with the realization that these measures are not going to meet the situation a year or two from now with the corresponding increase of traffic (which has ben noted dur ing the past few years
 fhFThe OUPStiOp solving local traffic problems can be answered by a scientific study of the needs of a city and how they may be met, continued MT. Davis. The difficulty rests in the fact that the solution which such a study will point out, involves an immediate outlay of money so great that the average city administration doSs not dare to put the matter up to the tax payer. The City of St. Louis began a study of traffic in 1916 which re- suited in a recommendation of the Major street plan in 1921. The esti- mated cost of widening and connecting up certain streets in accordance with the Major street plan was S8,650, 900. Bonds were issued for this amount and the work is now under way.
 While the cost of an adequate street plan may be staggering, 1t must be borne in mind that the cost today will be less than tt will be a year or two from now as abutting property continues to increase in value.
 The lesson which the larger cities are learning from experience, should prompt smaller cities and towns to begin their city planning to ~take care of future motor vehicle traf- fife now and not wait until it be- comes imperative and the cost of widening and connecting streets be- comes almost prohibitive.

HANES GDRDS ARE LOWER IN PRICES
Birmingham Dealer Claims They Are Also High In
 Quality

why pay more than the price of Hanes Cords?" is the query of K. W. Gerstenberger, manager of the tire and accessory departments at Cruse- Crawford Manufacturing company and in explanation of his question he proceeds to sell the car owner on Hanes cord quality and then shows the Hanes price lists. It is claimed that the price of Hanes cords is con- siderably under the prices asked for tires of less quality, and MT. Gersten- berger vouches for the quality of this line.
 "Hanes tires have received a se- were test in this community and they are meeting this test in most satis- factory manner" says Henry Middle ton, who has observed carefully the record of individual tires sold by his concern and has found that the Hanes gave unfatling satisfaction and long mileage.

WoffGrd oil Company'S New Crank Case
 Cleanser

Kerosene as used for washing out crank acses when hanging motor oil has been pratically replaced in the majority of the service stations of the Birmingham district by Woco Three c" crank case leanser. ac- cording to filling station operators who are handling the Wofford Oil company's new product.
 Woeo Three C. crank case clean ser was developed to replae kerosene In washing out rank cases for the reason that 1t was found that kero- sene remains in the oil cups and corners of the crank case and then cut the lubricating quality of the fresh motor oil that was poured in, The Wofford cleanser is not a lubri- eating oil, but has sufficient lubri- eating qualities of it's own not only to ut the effectiveness of the fresh oil, but to increase it. It throughly cleaneses out crank cases when prop erly used.
 Motorists have discovered what garage men always have maintained. that kerosene Is not best for use in cleansing, and the popularity of Woco Three c" is taken as the re- suit of this discovery.
