u ROAD PLAN
National Highway Project
New Necessity Would
Paw for Itself.
By ROY c. HAYES

Universal Service Automobile Editor.
DETROIT, Nov. 21.-John n,
WHY'S. president of the WHY'S Over
land Company of Toledo, Ohio, and
one of the outstanding figures in the
automobile industry, lauds William
Randolph Hearst's proposal for three
national transcontinental highways.
"Mr. Hearst is to be commended for
the interest and energy he is display
ing in furthering the nations progress
by extending its highway SYSTEM" Mr..
WHY'S said today.
I'VE have built more miles Of hard
road per year in the United States
since the war, I believe, than all the
remainder Of the world put together.
Even with our enormous road building
program. we are still far behind the
needs of our growing highway COM
merce.
AUTO BIG FACTOR.
II believe nearly S1,000,000 was
spent in 1923 in developing our road
way system, and / understand of this
sum the automobile industry contrib
uted more than 40 per cent.
The automobile has been tremen-
dOus factor in both creating the need
for and the means Of supplying this
great improved highway system for our
hundreds Of thousands of miles of pro
ductive and prosperous country.
"The secret Of the greatness of any
nation lies in its speed and freedom
OF communication, permitting the bind
ing together Of commercial and per-
sonal interests.
with the end of 1926 there will
probably be 20,000.000 motor vehicles
on our highways. With an average of
only ten miles per day each. we reach
the staggering total of almost So
100000 miles OF motor travel.
NATIONAL SYSTEM.
"The development Of the highways
has come naturally at the points
whore the greatest stress Of traffic is
dealt. During the past few years. fed
eral coordination has been increasing.

as this coordination is required. we
will find the proper means of making
it effective. and unity national pro-
gram of building roads from the Al
lantic to the Pacific and from Canada
TO Mexico.
England. France. Germany, Italy
and other European countries have
had a type of permanent road con-
struction for centuries that adequate

ments. but with the development Of
the automobile in Europe. even these
fine roads are being found inadequate
and unsatisfactory for the increased
traffic and speed of commerce.

81 RAILS USE
TRUCKS, GAIN
IS IN YEAR
Twenty Steam Roads Now
Employ ZIG Motors in
Auxiliary Service.

Fifty-one steam railroads arc listed
using motor trucks to handle freight
as compared with thirty-three a year
ago, according to results of survey
Just completed by the Motor Truck
department of the National Automo.
bile Chamber Of Commerce. Twenty
steam railroads, or their subsidiaries.
are now using over 219 motor buses.
This survey represents the first at
tempt to list steam lines which have
instituted auxiliary bus service, most
OF them within the last twelve months.
OF the railroads using trucks,
thirty are doing so under contracts
with terminal companies at either
Cincinnati or st. Louis by which less
than carload freight is interchanged
by this means. Thirteen other roads
use trucks at other terminals. Twenty
two railroads supply truck service at
other. points. eight to replace trains
carrying package freight, and ten to
give store-door delivery in some form.
PARALLEL LINES.
Ten of the railroads using motor
buses have established routes parallel
to some of their rail lines, five have
substituted bus for rail service on
branch lines. while two are using buses
as feeders through territory not pre-
viously served by rail. Three rail
roads are making use of buses through
arrangements made with bus opera
tors as to ticket interchangeability or
as to service in place Of discontinued
local trains.
More extensive use Of trucks in
the future is indicated by replies
showing that fifteen roads are study
ing the possibilities of transporting
freight by truck. contemplating either
installing them for the first time or
adding to their present truck services.
MORE TO USE.
That buses will also be used in in
creasing numbers in the near future
is forecast by the fact that eighteen
railroads not now using them are con-
templating the auxiliary use of buses.
OF these, twelve may substitute them
for branch line trains, seven consider
using them on new feeder routes. and
seven are studying the ACCESSIBILITY of
operating buses on roads paralleling
some of their rail lines.
More than 496 gasoline or gas-elec-
trio rail motor coaches are being oper-
ated by 100 steam and electric rail-
roads. In the survey made by the
same organization one year ago. 4S3
rail motor vehicles were shown to be
in use on ia rail lines.
Twenty-six Of these roads are con-
sidering additions to this type of serv-
ice. having ordered thirty-eight moro
units. Twenty roads were considering
additional rail motor equipment at
this time last year. Eighteen other
rail lines not now using such vehicles
are considering initial installations.

beaten by exactly two hours and one
minute.
The car was an Ajax touring which
had done little over 1000 miles as
demonstration and was absolutely stock
mechanically. its only extra equipment
being q spotlight, bumpers. motometer,
stabilators and two spare wheels with
tires mounted) instead Of the one
which is regular equipment.
The tires were those which were on
the car when shipped from the factory.
In addition to the three passengers,
it carried considerable baggagc-in
fact. an average tourist load.
The run was performed under the
most trying conditions. All sorts of
bad roads were encountered-deep
heavy sand. rutty rocky roads and
steep winding trails. The last GO
miles was sea of water and slippery
adobe mud that made the going both
difficult and dangerous.
The run was completed without n
single motor adjustment, and with
only one minor adjustment to the left
rear brake.

AJAX BEATS TRAIN Time BY
2 HOURS ON 9O6-MILE RUN

From Los Angeles to Albuquerque
in 20 hours, 8 minutes! That is the
record just established by a strictly
stock Ajax touring car, reports the
Jack Neal Nash Company.
The time of the fastest train be-
tween the two cities is 2S hours and
8 minutes. Two hours longer than it
took the Ajax, and the distance by rail
is shorter by II miles.
The Ajax left Los Angeles with two
members of the local Ajax dealer or
ganization as drivers. and a newspaper
man as observer. The party Travelled
through Victorville. Barstow, Lud-
low and Amboy, reaching Needles. 300
miles, in z hours and As minutes.

Chicago Press Get ON
His Crooked Trail

This Is the seventh Of a ssriss -
articles exposing the crooked career
of George L. Berry, president o. the
international Printing Pressmen's and
Assistants Union. The members Of
the international union are now DE-
termlnsd to get rid Of Berry and Rsr-
ryIsm.
For long time there was q general
feeling among the most active mem
bers Of the International Printing
Pressmen's and Assistants Union that
there waS something wrong with the
financial management Of the interna-
tional union. The editorial IN the
Rogersville Review convinced the
membership that Berry was playing
for big stakes and that he was using
the funds OF the union to further
his own political and business ambi-
tons.
After August 81. 1918, financial re-
ports ceased to come from head
quarters altho the laws Of the union
demand that reports Of the secretary
treasurer must be sent out every
three months
The International union had an In
come Of 100000 per annum. had
loaned large sums Of money from the
pension fund in real estate invest
ments" but had not taken up the
mortgage held on the home by the
Hawkins county bank for eight years,
which amounted to only 5000,
very small sum compared to what
was loaned out on real estate invest
mentS. According to Orr's reports all
other funds were taken out OF the pen
sion fund.
A Second Henry Ford.
1t should not be forgotten that
when Berry ran for the democratic
nomination for vice-president Of She
United States. his publicity stur
enumerated the number Of INDUSTRIAL
enterprises he launched. Every one
Of those enterprises was financed BIZ
money taken from the pension fund
and war emergency fund. This money
was subscribed by the members Of the
union, and here was the "majah"
posing as a seemed edition of Henry
Ford, and climbing up the ladder of
his ambition built from the money
wrung from the sweat and blood OF
the members Of the international
union. Is it any wonder that the men,
