F0RESEES new TYPE
OF MOTOR HIGHWAYS
Maj. Elihu Church, New York
Engineer. Predicts Trunk Lines
on Railway Plan.

NEW YORK. August 16-Maj EIihu
Church, transportation engineer of
the New York Port Authority. pre-
diets in the August issue of Shipper
and Carrier the building of new types
of highways for motor cars.
These will be, the major saws,
trunk line highways extending over
the country just as we now have
trunk line railroads. There will be
separate roads for trucks and for
passenger cars. He foresees trains"
of tractors and trailers on the high
ways, and says the trailers will be
controlled by airbrakes just as the
railroad cars are. The Interstate
Commerce Commission will fix details
of rates and service.
1t is asserted that "a grade cross
ing on an intensively used highway
is more dangerous than any railroad
grade crossing" and that highways
will be especially lighted at night.
equipped with telephones, and will
have repair trucks ready to help any
one in trouble. Trucks will be dis
patched over the highways just as a
train dispatcher handles his trains.
Maj. Church declares that motor
transportation requires better high
ways and service than most commu-
charge, and suggests that commune
ties might charge tolls for the use of
special roads built exclusively for
motor truck use, particularly when it
is impossible or extremely difficult to
raise funds in other ways. He makes
plea to put highways on a sound
engineering basis and do away with
the influence of propaganda and poll
tics.
Maj. Church says that no matter
how good truck is it's value to it's
owner depends on the condition of
the roads-the street congestion and
traffic supervision-and shows how
low speed, accidents. congestion and
high costs can be remedied
The life of the American city has
come to depend on the motor car AS
our cities grow, the fast committing
trains will only stop at widely sepa-
rated points and passengers will be
collected andn distributed by bus.
The motor truck is going to take
business away from the railroads for
distances up to rs miles, because it
gives door-to-d door service and saves
costs of boxing, handling and delay
1t is stated that this will benefit the
railroads, as it will reduce their ter
minal congestion and release their
cars for long-haul work
Maj. Church states that the motor
truck will act as a feeder to the
steam carriers and bring in great
quantities of new business. 1t will
enable farmers to sell much produce
that now rots on their hands. The
work of the railroads will be re-
stricted to moving full carloads over
long distances.

Oil as You Need It.

The amount of oil to be put in
with the gasoline when breaking in
new car depends upon service ex-
pected of the car during that period.
If one is just driving it around town
for the first 500 miles a pint of oil
to five gallons of gas will be suf-
ficient to keep the pistons from bind
ing, whereas quart to five gallons
will be a safer proportion if the own
er must do considerable hill climbing,
even thought he takes each hill
slowly in second gear. Care should
be exercised to see that you do not
foul the plugs and cylinders unneces-
sarily. If the car has an easy job
ahead and you think the proportion
of oil Is too great then buy some
more gas to lower the oil content.

This Sunday.


To a great many conscientious motor
car owners and drivers Sunday is de-
veloping into an opportunity 10 per-
form a good deed for motordom. Sun
day is the day when most accidents
happen and, as a consequence, the
day when accident prevention is most
needed and most effective.
Sunday as a. motoring day has been
allowed to degenerate as Il result OF
the reluctance of careful drivers to
drum ideas into the thick skulls of
their careless comrades. Sunday has
been badly damaged by the good
driver who thinks that just because
the weeks work is over he can af-
ford to be as careless as those drivers
who go wild on Sundays mainly be-
cause they have no other day to use
the car extensively.
This Sunday, and many Sundays to
come, can be vastly improved by
means of a little cooperation from
those motorists who should know
better than to pass ears at hllltopS
and curves. Sunday is the best day
of the week for giving the green
horn and the jazz driver an object
lesson in decent driving.
The thing is quite beyond the po-
lice and the motor vehicle officials.
Only Il small proportion of the road
fools can be caught and punished.
And the problem is doubly difficult
for the enforcement officers when
drivers who are competent through
out the week suddenly let down the
bars for a day of danger.
This Sunday would show "a mate
rial reduction in the number of ac-
CidcntS and every one would have u
happier time of it if experienced
drivers would operate their cars with
their accustomed precision and care.
The careless minority would be con-
spicuous by comparison. This would
aid the enforcement officers in pick
ing out those who need punishmen 1t
and would also impress greenhorns
with the folly of their frequent blum
derS.
This Sunday is the basis Of this
freedom from the curse of weekend
tribulations Why not make it your
destination?

But the feat of Paavo Nurmi,. ,.of Finland, in winning the final Olympic i, 500 metres run in rubber soled shoes against the best milers the world could send against him, in time that was within two-fifths of second of the world record, confirmed my be- lief that he is the greatest runner that ever measured strides with time.

They pressed them 50. hard that Stallard almost took third place. collapsed at the finish and was still unconscious, while the great Nurmi came back and won the 5,000 metres.
 I never expect to see another such battle on the track as the one between Ritola and Nurmi, both Films, who ig- nored the rest of the world in the 5000 and ran as individuals, trying to beat each other. Almost all the way they went stride for stride. Nurmi's squirt

GOOD PRELIMS FOR BAG. BOUT Tony Mareno And Red <. Burke In Semi
 -.. Final

~ Confident that he has arranged for the best headliner appearing before the boxing fans of the Magic City at the Athletic club this year, Matchmaker Dave Evans is going right ahead ar ranging for a list of preliminaries to match up with the main go in class.
 He stated Wednesday afternoon that he had just arranged for a meeting be- tween Tony Mareno and Red Burke in the eight-round semi-windup. This match was scheduled for the last show, but Burke was unable to reach top con- dition prior to the show and refused to go on suffering this disadvantage This time, however, Dave has signed 'em to a contract for an eight round tilt and the fans are assured some rough and tumble milling when the red head and terrible Tony get together
 Evans also stated Wednesday that he had arranged for a four-round tilt between Red Ski and Jimmy Smith. "I'm trying to show the fans some new faces in the prelim," he stated, "and therefore I'm going about the business of making my prelim program with more care than usual.
 Fact that Carson earned a decision over Dave Shade and rocked Rocky Kansas and fought draw with Pana- ma Joe Cans has caused his stock to rise considerably in the Magic City. There are many locally who believe that Carson will halt Finley's continual string of victories.
 The boy has been knocking 'em cold on the Pacific coast is due to arrive in town Saturday, the club officials already having sent him transportation to Louisville. The Kentucky metro polls was the first stop he made since getting back from the Golden Gate.
 Finley, who really got his start in the boxing game in Birmingham when he was palling around with Red Her ring, will probably come in few days earlier. Finley has a host of friends here and he likes to come in a few days before. a. bout and do a bit of hand-shaking and yarn swapping.

 Manager Out

DECATUR, H., July 10.-Decatur won on forfeit from Evansville today, g to 0. ending a pitchers battle between Kotzelnick and Meador. In the last half of the eighth, with the score, to 2, Calbert on first base and one out, Pratt bunted down the third base line. Reagan played the ball slowly, then picked it up too late to make play. Umpire Murphy, behind the plate, called the ball fair. Evansville players protested. Led by Catcher Shandling and Manager Dunn they pursued Mur- phy several steps backward.
 Murphy motioned Shandling out of the game. The catcher refused to go. Tired of such previous performances here this season, Mayor Elder led po- lice on to the field and Shandling was hurried from the park. Then Manager Dunn was ordered to leave and when he hesitated police also took him from the park. Right fielder Murphy of the Pocketeers showed his displeasure in rough language and police took him to join the departed catcher and manager.
