has very fine chance to defeat
Suzanne Lenglen, the world s
champio, when they meet in Europe
this summer, Mrs. George Wight
man captain Of American women's
team told friends here.
! Mrs. Wightman, donor of the
'Wightman cup which the American
team will defend at Wimbledon,
has always been great admirer of
the California girl and her game.
She said she had never seen the
French star play but she felt that
the American champions game and
her temperament were good enough
to match with the best game in the
world.
New York tennis critics fear that
Miss Wills is too young and lacks
the necessary experience but they
admit that her playing temperament
gives her at'least one big advantage
over the French star.

GIANTS LEAVE
TODAY ON TRIP
THROUGH WEST
Yanks to Start Out When
Giants Get Back
From Series
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 1.-Tests OF
the real strength Of the two cham
pion clubs will be put to the New
York Yanks and Giants when they
meoS the powerful clubs of the
west.
The Giants departed today on a
trip that will swing them over the
western circuit and will keep them
away from home until the first of
June. The Yankees returned to.
day to remain here until the Giants
return, when they will hit the road
again. The Giants have seven
games against Boston and Phila-
dclphia and then they start with
the st. Louis Cards for four games.
They have four games then with
the Chicago Cubs, three with the
Pittsburgh Pirates and four with
the Cincinnati Reds.
Giants Well Fixed
The Yankees get ready for the
western clubs with seven games
against Washington and Philadel-
phia and then they will have to
take OIL the White Sox, the Browns,
the Indians and the Tigers for four
games each. ~. .,
Considering that there may be a
disadvantage in playing away from
home, the Giants arc well fixed to
start their invasion of the west.
They have a comfortable hold on
first place and the team is going
fine. The Giants, however, have
always been a great road club.
While the Giants were fortunate
in getting away to Is flying start,
the Yankees faltered badly and are
just beginning to hit their stride.
They are tied with the Detroit III
gers for first place and they may
have lead of couple of games
before they have to tackle the
strength Of the west.

Snoring That National Road Building
Program Here Has 'Far to Co."

If proof were necessary that the
United States, which, thanks to the
development of the motor vehicle, is
now passing through the most in
-cnsive period of highway develop
nent in the history of the world, is
building roads that surpass in quality
anything of the kind constructed since
tho days of the Roman empire, that
proof is to be found in abundance. 1t
exists not only in the quality and
quantity of American highways, but
in the development of road building
methods and materials. The road
builders of this country have not only
outstripped their ancient predecessors
in the use of the most ancient mate
rials, but are getting better results
with greater speed, less labor and
lower cost.
Motorists may he interested in
Knowing that in the United States
are now TO be found some of the most
distinctive as well as the most unique
and interesting highways in existence.
The United States possesses the long
~St paved motor road in the world,
the Pacific highway. running from
Vancouver. B.. along the Pacific
coast to the Mexican border, n dis

colorado Springs, Colo, 6,341 feet
above sea level. is the highest paved
street in the world. and Market street,
Philad delphia, is the widest.
Shortest Paved Motor Road.
The shortest and narrowest paved
motor road in existence is likewise
American. 1t traverses Smiths Island,
one of the little islands in the lower
Chesa peake Bay. near ChriStield, Md.
This road is less than a mile long and
is just wide enough to permit the
passage OF one motor car at time.
vt intervals there are SidingS, or
passing tracks" where the cars pass
each other.
In this country is to be found not
only the most unique paved street in

unique street referred to is Lombard
street, San Francisco. twisting
thoroughfare which climbs steep
hillside at 30 per cent grade in much
the same manner as a grape vine
climbs "a pole.
Ancient Materials Used.
Various ancient paving materials
have entered into the construction of
these thoroughfares. chief of which
is asphalt, the oldest waterproof ad
hesive known to man and the most
ancient of all road materials since it
was first used in paving a street in
Babylon by King Nabopolassar in
$500 B. c., or nearly $500 years ago.
At different times in the centuries
that followed. asphalt was discovered
first in the form of rock asphalt oc-
curing as limestone and sandstone
impregnated with asphalt and later
mixed with vegetable and mineral
matter in pools and lakes, notably
those in Trinidad and Venezuela.
Within the last ten years it has been
quantities embodied in the heavy
petroleums of Mexico and California.
These petroleums are now subject
ed to refining process by American
asphalt producers by which the light
er oils are removed. The asphalt thus
made available constitutes the finest
of oil asphaltS and is 995 per cent
pure bitumen. Sixty-eight per cent
of all the asphalt used in the United
States at the present time is obtained
from Mexican a&phaltic petroleum. 1t
is in this respect that American in
genuity and skill have greatly i'm
proved for highway work the most
ancient of all paving materials and
have placed a [ the service of the
American motOriSt the finest paved
roads ever constructed.
Distinctive Highways.
While the United States is rapidly
coming to the front in the matter of
distinctive highways. this country
still has far to go before it can take
from European nations other records
for unique thoroughfares that feature
their highway systems. The shortest
street in the world, for instance is to
be found not in the United States but
in France. 1t is the Rue Bile of Paris.
The narroWest street in the world is
the Via Sol in Havana, Cuba. a thor
oughfare only forty-Seven inches in
width. The most unique paved motor
road in the world is that OF the Via
Nizza. an asphalt roadway construct
ed upon the roof of the Fiat Motor
Works at Lingotto, Italy.
To Nankin. China, goes the rather
doubtful credit of having the dirtiest
street in the world, the TchanSti. The
Via Castle. in Seville. Spain, has long
had the distinction of being the clean
