JGps Learn English
as Matter of Course

English is taught In the public
schools all over Japan. Later, when l
came to travel widely In the interior, /
often found bright schoolboys four
teen or fifteen years old who would
volunteer as interpreters, Theodore
Godfrey writes In the Saturday Eve
ming Post.
In another generation English may
be a second language for the japanese,
even as the Dutch today are competent
linguists, because the world cannot be
bothered to learn Dutch.
English, unless Japanese has been
educated abroad. becomes rather pc
culiar in Japanese mouths, for ac-
cording to japanese custom, every con-
sonant must be followed by vowel,
and there is no 81" or ''v" or "th.'
Thus "beer" becomes "bieru"; glass,
"gurssu," and "hotel," ''hoteru."

To Spend $4O5, 100000
in Constructing Roads

approximately $405, 100000 will be
spent for construction Of $4,000 miles
of highway and $135, 100000 for main
tenance of 217,7o4 miles of road dur
ing 1925, according to information Sc
cured by the bureau Of public roads
Of the Department Of Agriculture.
The state highway departments,
the bureau said, plan to construct O.
900 miles Of asphalt, hard surfaced and
brick pavements; 11,6O0 miles Of sand
clay, gravel and macadam roads and
600 miles of improved earth road.
Comparing the funds available for
1925 with those for preceding years,
the bureau said it appears certain
that road construction will go for
ward at about the same rate as in
the preceding years. Since 1921 the
total mileage Of surfaced roads built
each year has been between 10000
and 10000 miles.

Timely Touring Tip

Don't be fooled into thinking that
a detour sign doesn't mean anything
because one or two other drivers
ahead Of you seem to ignore 1t. Many
detours are posted with the idea Of
taking care of through traffic, thus al
lowing local motorists to use that por-
ton OF. the main road where the ac-
tual work is not being done. To fol-
low one of these local motorists, who
win in all probability turn into his
own private driveway before reaching
the torn-up portion of the road, is to
run the risk of having to go all the
way back to where you started and
take the detour.

Foolish Fears

French Consul Antonin Barthelmy
said at reception in Chicago:
"There is no danger of a bolshevik
revolution in France. Those who
quake and wall over such an absurd
danger as that remind me of the little
boy who ran to his mothers bed in the
middle of the night and sobbed:
"'Oh, muvver, muvyer, dreamed
was stick of candy and Gated myself
upH"

GOOD I
ROADS
LARGE MILEAGE OF
ROADS BUILT IN 1924

Taxpayers in states where highway
building has been brought under cen
tralized control are this year reaping
the benefits of the work completed
during 1924. Never before in the his
tory of highway construction has
progress been as rapid as during the
year just passed.
Illinois leads the list with 100
miles of paved road added to her high
way system. All of this new work
was made possible through the funds
provided by the $60,000,0O0 bond issue
which is being retired entirely by au-
tomobile license fees. So well sold
are the people of Illinois on state
trunk highway construction that they
have approved an additional 100000
600 bond issue for increasing the
paved road mileage on the state high
way system to a total of $500 miles.
North Carolina claims second place
with S04 miles Of paved road complet-
ed during 1924. In this state also,
the funds for the improvement Of
state system of highways were pro-
vided by a bond issue. Revenue de-
rived from automobile registration
fees and from a gasoline tax is used
for maintaining the state highway sys-
tenn and for providing the operating
expenses of the state highway COM
mission.
Other states in the forefront Of
highway development are Pennsyl-
vania, with 704 miles to its credit for
1924; Michigan with COZ miles; New
York with 552 miles, and other states
with mileages Of between 100 and 400
miles. In all of these states some
method of centralizing the control of
all work done on a selected state
highway system was effected. Each
state has special funds provided ex-
pressly for the purpose Of developing
the state system. Such a method Of
highway development has been found
to yield the greatest return to the
taxpayer and the user of the high
ways.

Survey Shows Need for
Improvement of Roads

Traffic surveys made by the state of
South Carolina show that well over
half the total traffic in the state was
confined to about 8 per cent Of the
total mileage of public roads in the
state outside Of the larger cities and
towns. 1t also showed that the aver
age motor traffic on the improved
roads Of the state highway system
was about 400 vehicles per day. On
the traffic exceeded 1000 vehicles per
day and on a few short stretches this
number was increased to 1000.
Based on these traffic counts, made
on various parts of the state highway
system, it was estimated that the total
the improved part Of the state high
way system was around 425,000,000
miles.
From these figures it is evident that
the total cost Of operating motor We
hicles on the highways of the state
may be greatly decreased by concen-
trating road improvement on the high
ways bearing the greatest amount OF
traffic. If only a small change in the
cost Of motor vehicle operation is eff
fected by improving the roads, and
tests have definitely proved this fact,
then the Improvement of the heavy
traffic roads will result in the great
est saving to the highway-using pub
lie. For example, variation of only
! cent per mile in the cost of OPP
Grating over improved roads, when APP
piled to the 425,O0O,O0O miles travelled
on the state system during the year,
amounts to $4,250,000, sum which
will more than earn itself in the low
er cost Of operation and which is suf-
ficient to make vast difference in
the condition of the roads If applied
to highway Improvement.

Did You Know

That the top of the car, wheth-
er open or closed, should rot be
brushed off, but should be
rubbed. Brushing digs o'st par
ticles of dirt that are Of value
in filling in porous parts of the
top material Rubbing cleans
without injuring the top.
That you should never ride in
the closed car while any of the
doors are locked? Yod never
can tell when it may be neces-
sary to make a quick exit, and
to have to stop to adjust the I'M
locking device may be a misfor-
tune.
That air bubbles seen in the
radiator solution indicate some
sort of cylinder head gasket
leak? The bubbles are the re-
suit of compression leaking out
around the head and getting into
the cooling system. This air,
being under pressure, naturally
finds its way to the surface Of
the water in the radiator.

rate bus runs of their own, and they
are being used in increasing numbers
by the railroads.
Traction Lines Own Buses.
Of the traction lines which have es-
tablished their own bus units, one in
Ohio holds the Middle West record with
an average monthly passenger bust
ness Of $4,000 fares. The high mark
for the nation is held by Maryland
line which carries 251, 600 every month.
The bus has been recognized as an es-
sential and integral part of our trans
portation system, and with the spread
of the gospel of hard-surfaced high
ways, it is growing annually in impor-
lance.
There is no doubt that motor bus
lines as auxiliary transportation units
are an established part Of our national
business life. The steady development
of this means of travel from the old
jitney days to the present luxury of
rubber-tired "parlor cars" is conclus-
i've proof Of this assertion.
OF greater Importance, however, is
the fact that merchants have found
that their trade expansion has been
greater along the route of motor trans
portation lines following the course Of
well-made, hard-surfaced highways,
than in any other sections. After a
city has become well established in a
business way, local stores soon reach
point Of saturation with regard to
expansion in selling. The only method
of overcoming this threatened stagna-
ton is to reach new trade channels.
One striking factor must obtain, how
ever, if this ideal situation is to be
developed to its true value. There
must be roads that will stand up I'M
der the heavy traffic and be in shape
every day in the year Bus lines can
not operate on schedule and cannot
operate at fair profit unless rhe pub
lie road, which is their road-bed, is
of enduring construction. The auto
mobile was in a large sense the pio-
neer which led the way and established
the necessity for paved roads. In bus
transportation, however, the road still
is the first consideration.
The roads must withstand the Cruel
ling pace of heavy traffic almost with
out let-up and they must be available
for rapid, safe and comfortable motor
travel every day Permanence and
low maintenance cost must be the de-
Gliding factors in this important con-
sheraton in successful operation of
motor bus lines from the standpoint
If civic prosperity.

Danger on Straight Road

The straight road against the
curved road. as a promoter of acct
dents, has been brought to the front
again by a report Of the North Shore
Motor club of Wisconsin, which shows
that Of the 1881 road accidents In
that state last year, 2,044 occurred
on straight roads, while curves, and
other danger points were responsible
for but 937 accidents. A straight road
invites speeding. while curved roads
invite caution and win check a reck-
less driver.
