HIGHWAY MAN
SHOWS SAVING
TO: MOTORISTS
Hard Surfaced Roads Save
Pennsylvania Drivers
$25,OOO,OOO Yearly,

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 27.-De-
spite registration fees and increas-
ing gasoline taxes, the automobile
owner enjoys saving through his
use Of improved roads.
This is the declaration Of William
Cornell, engineering executive OF
the Pennsylvania highway commits
sion. And, producing facts to prove
his point. he adds the conviction
that highways should be maintain
ed solely by those who use them.
By his reckoning, motorists in
Pennsylvania save nearly SEE, OOO,-
900 year, after paying license
and gasoline taxes, from the use OF
45O0 miles of hard surfaced roads.
For the entire country, C0nnell
estimates a similar saving of ST.
100000, 900 to the motorists.
Here's how he arrives at his fig
ureS:
The savings are based on an esti-
mate Of Is per cent higher operat.
ing cost on dirt roads than on hard
surfaced roads, and 10 per cent
higher than on gravel roads. Con-
struction of $4,000 miles Of the
former type and $4,000 miles OF
the latter, since 1904, brings saw
ing Of about $1,630,O0O,OO0 year
to the motorist.
But only $420,O0O,000 were paid
out in 1926 in registration fees and
gasoline taxes. Which leaves net
saving of 1920. 100000 for 1925
alone and perhaps a similar amount
each year. s' !,
This is a very conservative basis
Of estimating savings" Connel
comments, "inasmuch as no allow
ance is made for the saving Ii
1 time. which is q big factor, nor fol
I the Inconvenience and loss to TIL
! people dependent on dirt roads
(which are frequently impossible To-
several months Of the year"
! And he doesn't figure an annua
4 maintenance charge. of $2,250, O0'
! for the $500 miles 81 dirt roads il
Pennsylvania which were replace,
i by hard surfaced or gravel roads

HUE CLIMBS
MADE EASIER
BY PRACTICE
Change to Low Early, Retard
Spark Without Awaiting
Engine Knock

Many drivers believe that climb
ing hills in an automobile is mere
ly matter of changing gears and
'steppin' on it. \
What they don't know is that
every engine has it's best speed-a
certain peak in it's range where it
develops maximum horsepower. The
driver who studies his engine and
finds this peak" is to be congratu.
lated, for he gets the most out OF
his car-all the time.
The average driver will stay in
high gear on bill until the engine
nearly knocks its head off. Why
we don't know, though it is prob
ably that he believes his car car
make that hill and he intends to dc
it or break up the bus.
But when he does drop down to
second or low gear-and he must
eventpally-the car has lost it's mo-
mentum and the engine must recov.
err sufficiently to pick up properly
and carry the car over the top. AL
of which is mighty tough on the
engine.

Odd Traffic Idea
For Modern City

Ottawa, Can, Feb, 27.--The
city planners Of old were all
wrong, everyone admits.
But modern city planners
may be right for years to come
: if they follow the advice of
Noulan Cauchon, president of
the Canadian Town Planning
Institution.
III His plan is to cut out new
cities in the form of hexagonal
instead Of the modern rec
tangular blocks, and thus cut
down traffic congestion and ac-
cidents greatly.
Thus alternating w and
downtown traffic will inter-
weave readily with crosstown
traffic and average collision
points will be spaced more
than three times farther apart
than they are now, says
CauchOn.

Legislature Of Maine has passed a
law requiring operators Of motor

bility insurance to cover their pas

The law provides that bushes oar-
rying up to Is passengers must file

WHY NOT KEEP
CAR BENEATH
THE SIDEWALK
Man Has Unique Idea Fo'
Solving the Problem of
Housing Autos

London, Feb. Pit started with
a man who stopped to watch large
roll of newspaper sink slowly into
a hole in the sidewalk.
He must have been a city motor
list. for he never would have
thought Of it. And he must have
been terribly in need OF garage
space for his machine, or he never
would have preached it.
AS it is, here's his unique idea
free for the use of those who have
similar trouble with their cars
They're mostly, if not all, city
dwellers, living SO close together
that they can't have their private
garages, and still being pestered by
the police to keep their cars Off the
streets ut night.
It's nothing but the simple ex-
pedient of, sinking the auto into a
hole in the sidewalk!
Why not? Just open up the front
sidewalk Of the house, and drop IN
to it the cars of the tenants in the
apartment house nearby. In fact
a large part of the apartment base
ment could be set aside for this
purpose.
A car comes up, the trapdoors
flat on the sidewalk are opened up,
the car rolls upon the platform,
and down it sinks. Then the doors
close and the sidewalk is clear
again.
And no more space occupied,
either!
The suggestion is made, in addi-
ton, that this sidewalk lift could be
operated under the power Of the
auto engine!

can propel the auto up to 1913 miles
an hour.
The bodylis made Of polished ma
hogany woodwork and is upholster-
cd with padded Belgian silk.
There are 22 lights on the car,
two batteries supplying the power
for them sand the ignition. The
headlights turn with the wheels.
The mudguards were made horizon
tai only, to lessen wind resistance
Everything imaginable in the
line Of accessories for men and
womeD passengers, as well as for
the drivers assistance, has been in
stalled. There's highway speed

INTOXICATED

Punishment For Drunken
MOtOriSt

Washington, Feb. PA nation
wide survey by the American Auto
mobile association discloses the fact
that the intoxicated driver is rum
ming wild in many Of the large cit
les Of the country.
According to the statement there
has been no diminution in the num-
Der of arrests for driving while
under the influence of liquor.
ut looks as if the law-enforcing
authorities and the courts are much
more adept in convicting and filming
motorists for technical violations of
traffic rules than they are in rid
ding the streets and highways of
these potential murderers who oper-
ate machines while under the influ-
ence of liquor" said Thomas p.
Henry, president of the A. A. A.
Heavy Jail sentences and revo-
cation Of driving permits should be
uniformly meted out to this class
of offender" Mr.. Henry declared.
He continues:
967 in Detroit
"There were 967 convictions on
this charge in Detroit during the
first ten months of 1925, as COM
pared with 292 convictions in New
York City in the first nine months
Of the year. This contract is glar.
ing. It does not necessarily near
that there were more intoxicated
drivers in Detroit than there were
in New York. 1t may very wei
mean that Detroit is more keenly
alive to the seriousness Of the
Offense.
1.-THE same explanation may &C
count for the fact that there were
526 convictions in Boston on this

Variable-tO-lOad
Tires introduced

London, Feb. 2 7.-Variable-to-
load vehicle tires are being success
fully introduced in England. These
tires consist of double fitment.
The inner tire is inflated to high
pressure. The outer section of the
tire is filled with comparatively
low air pressure.
1t is claimed that this gives
double the cushioning possible with
high pressure tires and the grad
uation helps to eliminate bouncing
and causes the tire to cling to and
hold the surface of the road.

grade meter, an altimeter, taco
meter for telling engine speed, and
even an indicator that locates any
trouble in the wiring system.
The gasoline tank has a capacity
for SO gallons of gasoline, SO that
few stops may be made over long
trips. And so that the passengers
may take such few-stop trips in
comfort, there's even lO-gallon
icewater tank!
Bishop hasn't pushed the car to
the limit of 1873 miles an hour, he
SAYS, but he's built it SO that it can
make this record breaking speed.
It's low-hung and is only 81 inches
high to the very top.

In the December issue of Aviation the oldest American aeronautical magazine, the cover page of the wide ly read publication contains pho- tograph of Noel Wien, pilot for the Fairbanks Airplane Company for the last two years, landing on top of an Interior mountain top.
 On an inside page there appears another photograph of the well known Alaskan pilot, just after making a landing in the Endicott mountains, at a gold camp, 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
 Headed by the caption, Plying In the Far North" the following para graph is published with this pie ture:
 Several noteworthy trips were made last summer by Noel Wien, of which several interesting and detail ed articles were published ill the Se- ward Gateway, a daily paper issued at Seward, Alaska. Wien used the Fokker plane shown in the illustra- ton. On one of these trips, from Fairbanks to Nome, five people were carried, giving a total load, including gasoline, of 1850 pounds. The field from which the take-off was made was only 1900 feet long. On the return flight the Yukon was so high that there was no sandbars in sight, so the $50 miles was made nonstop in seven hours. On another trip from McGrath to Nome, three pas sengers, their baggage and 200 pounds of gold dust, valued at $47,000, were carried. The landing field at Me- Grath is a sandIbar on the Kusko- kwim river. The distance from Nome is about 2S0 miles and Wien made five round trips there during the sea- son.

Cotton tails are bursting into bloom and vegetables of every des- cription are being grown in Seward gardens so one can almost take it for granted that spring is. here. Those mosquitoes, however, should hunt their holes.
