new BALLOON PATCH
AIDS QUICK REPAIRING
More Flexible Than Old Style, It
Can Be Applied Easily on
Road by Motorist.

Tire repair is given too little con-
sideration by motor car owners since
the balloon cords became popular, ac-
cording to rubber experts. Recent far
reaching Investigations reveal that in
the case of blowouts, it still is a habit
of motorists to drive on the rim or to
apply stiff. inflexible boots or other i'm
proper patches.
1t is a more expensive practice TO
drive on a fiat balloon than to resort
to the same thing in the case of high
pressure tire due to the increased
whip" or fleX. This is true also OF
the wrong kind of patch for blowout
repair. Rigid patches. in meeting the
fieXing action of the bulkier tire or
today. cause both patch and casing
literally TO grind to pieces.
In order to meet the demand for
effective road repair, a balloon patch
has been developed along the same
lines as the balloon tire itself. 1t is
non-rigid, lesS-ply. built of cord fab
RIGS and will fieX with the tire. In
giving as the tire gives-rather than
bucking against 1t every time the
wheel revolves - the balloon patch
wears longer than the stiffer. thicker
old-type boot.
The balloon tire patch is easy to
apply.

CITY IS TERMINUS
OF LINK TO PACIFIC
.Transcontinental Highway
From Capital to San Diego
Is Best Route.

Washington forms one terminus OF
the most nearly completely improved
transcontinental highway, it is re-
vealed in a recent report of the Fed
eral highway system. This route has
reached a status. of 81 per cent i'm
provement, and is cited by Thomas
II. Mcdonald, chief of the Bureau of
Public Roads, as an indication of the
general interest taken in highways.
This road extends from the Ma
tional Capital through st. Louis, Tex
arkana and FL paSo to San Diego,
Calf. OF the entire distance. SO per
cent of the highway is surfaced and
per cent graded. OF the surfaced por-
tion, more than half is bituminous
macadam or better, and the re-
mainder gravel.
From Washington to st. Louis the
entire road is improved. The total
length of the route is 3.133 miles, and
OF this distance 2,907 miles are sur
faced and 13l miles are graded.
Among the other Eastern and
Western transcontinental routes, the
one from Norfolk, Va, to Los Angeles
Is GS per cent improved. The one
from Chicago to Los Angeles, partly
hy the same line, is 63 per cent i'm
proved. The route from Boston to
Seattle, through the Northern tier of
States is 13 per cent improved and
10 per cent surfaced.
According to the report, these COM
prise the best routes across the colln-
Try, and though. with one exception,
none is more than about two-thirdS
:'IIIfaced, the present condition is so
much better than that existing 20
years ago when the Federal aid road
act was passed, that the situation is
7aken to indicate remarkable progress.
1t is pointed out that today there
ere % States having continuously i'm
proved highways entirely across them
in at least one direction. Sixteen of
theSe have completed such trans
state roads in two directions.
That motor tourists appreciate i'm.
proved highways is indicated in the
check of cars arriving in southern
california by the Automobile Club of
Southern California. This organiZa-
tion in comparing the arrivals of the
first eight months of 1926 with the
same period last year shows that
there have been an increase of over 16
per sent in this period. There were
80 , cars entering tho borders of
the state, the ma jority of which came
in over the most highly improved
transcontinental routes.
The fact that the southern route is
the most highly improved makes 1t
popular, in addition to it's being free

BY THEODORE p. MOVES.

It does not take a 3,500-mile trip to
| convince a motoriSt that one of the
greatest menaces 10 safe arrival at
his destination is the 'smart-aleck'
driver. He can gain this knowledge
from a short run downtown through
the city streets or in a 50-mile Jaunt
into the neighboring countryside. A
tour of more than 5000 miles, how
ever, will offer so many examples of
| conclusive proof that it would be a
skeptic, indeed, who would not be CON
vinced, and this writer lays no claim
to being a skeptic.
"Smart-aleckism" manSests itself in
many ways. 1t runs completely up
and down the scale from diScourtesy
to criminal tendencies: from the chap
who skirts a long line of standing cars
to the road hog who refuses to give
way for overtaking machines and at
tempts to push other cars off the high
way. The smart-aleck is the driver
who speeds up when he is about to
be passed, who, with some of his
boorish companions, drives alongside
and leers at feminine occupants; who
passes and repasSeS the same car on
the road. even though a uniform speed
is being maintained who almost puts
his front bumper onto the spare tire
Of the car ahead and follows for miles
in this dangerous position, and who
fails to give stopping, turning or
slowing signals when he is about to
execute one of these maneuvers.
Some of Them Punished.
Innumerable cases were noted when
the smart-aleck driver would fail to
give way for overtaking machines.
Once in Ohio and once in Indiana just
punishment was observed being meted
out to drivers of this type. In one case
when the overtaking car finally sue
ceeded in getting past, the offending
driver was stopped and Il sound
thrashing administered, and in the
other the smart-aleck was turned over
to a policeman for appropriate action.
Probably the most amusing of these
incidents-in fact, the only amusing
one-occurred at a one-Way detour il
Ohio. Traffic was allowed to pass
| through in each direction every half
hour. The writer just missed one of
these starting periods and was the
second in line for the next batch OF
| automobiles to be allowed through
1t was heavy traffic road and during
the 25 minutes or so that constituted
the waiting time cars piled up be
hind in single file with great rapidity
Just before the start was to be made
the line extended back along the road
| for possibly a quarter of mile.
1t was at this juncture that the
smart -aleck driver put in his appear

car came out of the detour and the

glance, Intentionally harassed the
| smart-aleck by blowing his horn and
| shouting for more speed to clear

| backed on the narrow strip of con.
crete derisive cheers greeted its oc

completed and the line began to move.
there was many a broad grin on
| the faces of those who had watched
the show and many friendly wave
| to the police officer who had SO clever
ly taught good manners to a smart
aleck.
Drivers Of this type are to be seen
| on practically every highway in the
country. They appear to complicate
| matters on every occasion. Traffic

alecks Immediately got in their deadly
work and so tied up traffic that 1t was
| more than two hours before travel
| could be resumed, although a half
hour at the most was sufficient to
clear aways the wreckage.
One of these smart-alecks drove a
luxurious eight-cylindered closed car
with D. G. license. He was stopped
and the situation ahead explained to
him, but with a ScOrnful gesture he
sailed on to become embroiled in one
of the worst traffic jams that has prob
ably ever occurred on a main high.

The rich and the poor, the educated
and illiterate, all furnish their quota
to the growing ranks of potential
viciouSnesS in motor car driving.
Drivers Have Some Joy.
But if this class of driver makes
life miserable and dangerous for those
who prefer to travel by automobile
there are many compensatiOns
the tourist will tind to tighten the
strain and to remove the dark-hued
clouds of peril from the presentday
automobile trip. Principal among
these is the prevalence Of good road
on most of the main routes. Ten and
even fiVe years ago motorist plan
