URGES EXTENSION
OF SERVICE LINES
Four Companies Asked to
Push Underground Work
Before Paving Starts.

The Potomac Electrics Power Co.,
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Co, the Postal Telegraph Co.
and the Washington and Georgetown
Gas Light Co. We're advised by the
committee on underground construc
ton of the District today to extend
their services on a number of streets
to be repaved or paved this Spring.
AS streets are not allowed to be cut
up for underground extensions within
five years after paving or repaving,
the committee is anxious that these
companies make proposed extensions
before the scheduled street improve
ment work is undertaken.
The gas company has planned to
make extensions on the following
streets slated to be improved: Della
field street, between Porter street and
Quebec place; Nicholson street, west
of Colorado avenue; New Hampshire
avenue, from Fourth street to Buchan-
an street; Cleveland avenue, from
Cathedral avenue to Garfield street:
Howard road southeast. from end of
concrete paving to Boiling Field; Min
neSota avenue southeast, from Good
Hope road to Eighteenth street; Four
teenth street southeast, from Penn
Sylvania avenue to X street, and
Thirty-fifth street, from Prospect place
10 Wisconsin avenue.
The telephone company was urged
to make its proposed extensions on
Nicholson street west of Colorado ave-
nue., and on Fulton street from Wis
consin avenue to Thirty-ninth street,
and the electric light company was
asked to complete its extensions on
the following streets: X street. be-
tween Fourteenth street and Connecti-
cut avenue; Sixteenth street, from A
street to Massachusetts avenue.
Sixteenth street northeast from
East Capitol street to 3 street. L
street northeast from Second to Sixth
street. Calvert street to b street, l.
cut avenue to Twenty-ninth street and
Wisconsin avenue from Thirty-sev-
enth street to Massachusetts avenue.
The power company also was asked
to make plans for installing under
ground conduits on Woodley road
from Cathedral avenue to Wisconsin
avenue prior TO the repaving of this
stretch in 1927 Overhead wires are
installed now but no further over
head connections will be permitted.
The telegraph company's extension
will be on X street from Fourteenth
street to Connecticut avenue.
The underground construction COM
mittee is composed of Earl V. Fisher,
executive secretary of the Public
Utilities Commission; J. B. Gordon,
District sanitary engineer; c. 3.
Hunt, engineer of highways, and War
rem B. Hadley, electrical engineer.

Rob Roy, Canine "Boss" of White House,
Wins Way Into Presidents Affections

Rob Roy gets excited when he spies
any of the squirrels which scamper
around the White House lawn. He
frequently makes dash for one, but
gives up the chase at a sharp repri-
mand from the President.
For a while after returning from
Swampscott last Fall Rob Roy was
lonesome. His playmate, Paul Pry,
the snappy airedale, had been turned
over to the Marines for discipline. But
another collie-also white, but smaller
soon came from the Wisconsin
kennels where Rob Roy was born.
Despite the newcomer, given the
name of Prudence Prim by Mrs. Cool
idge Rob seems to have first claim
to the Presidents affections. Mrs.
Coolidge appears fonder of Prudence.

One of President Coolidge's closest
companions is a dog-Rob Roy, the
snow-white collie which has supplant-
ed the Harding Laddie Boy as canine
boss of the White House.
During the two years he has had
the run of the Executive Mansion Rob
Roy has worked himself into the
affections of the President. Ere.
quently when his master returns to
his office after luncheon he trots

In making this statement am
taking particular account of what
English and French manufacturers
have done and are still doing in the
way OF providing light cars capable
OF high speed, great economy of
operation. very durable, and with
added safety braking facilities.
Further, / think that these cars
win be sold at the same low cost
Of your present cars, because of
your enormous manufacturing IA
ciiities.
Why should American engineers
so to Europe for new designs? /
know most Americans believe that
America. has been the pacemaker in
motordonl. Quite naturally they
point with pride to the millions of
cars each year and the fact that
American cars are found in every
country in the world. Great pro-
duction is beyond doubt strong evil
dence OF leadership. but there are
other factors which must be con-
sidered with automobiles.
Progress Sacrificed Here
In the mass production of auto
mobiles America has given the
world a valuable lesson in efficient
industry. But it has been done at
q sacrifice to the Development of the
product. It has allowed European
engineers practically to run away
with what It now needs most
greater car efficiency and new body
and mechanical design.
Consciousness OF this has been
growing among the most far-sighted
in the industry, and right now /
know plans are being developed to
correct the deficiency.
This to great degree explains
why lately great numbers Of Amer
lean motor manufacturers and their
engineers have been crossing the
Atlantic They come to learn what
the European automotive engineers
have done and are doing and they
are taking back with them the
things which they have disregarded
in the past or with which they
have been unfamiliar.
It Is on this certain evidence and
personal contact with them that /
can safely predict new era for
date future.
do not mean by this that the
cars OF Europe are to be repro
duced ''as is" in your country.
That would never do. What is
suitable to Europeans would go
DOZEN with Americans, and what is
wholly American would not fit the
requirements of the European.
Tor instance, take the matter of
tread. Road and traffic conditions
In the United States make neces-
sary the standard Sc inches. That
allows for wide, comfortable bodies
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1926-04-28

which European light cars do not
have.
There will be other adjustments
and new applications, and this will
give birth to an entirely new type
of motor car which will embody the
best principles and features of the
motor cars of both sides of the
water. / think from what | have
learned from visiting manufacturers
! and engineers that this new type
will probably be produced this year.
To understand the need for this
new car one must consider the back
ground OF the development of au-
tomobiles in Europe and America
and the reasons why the motor cars
of Europe and America differ SO
radically in certain fundamentals.
Conditions Dictate Style
Anyone familiar with the Ameri.
can development knows that the
line followed in the United States
has been to produce a car suited to
an extraordinary geographical con-
dition not found in any country in
Europe; a car that would function
equally well on boulevard or on the
most wretched of mountainous colfN-
try roads. This car was produced
at the lowest possible cost compati-
bic with moderate degree of
operating efficiency and with the
minimum amount Of personal dis.
comfort or attention to its care and
with its operation.
Naturally, TO produce such car
at a low cost it had to be manu-
featured in enormous volume.
Hence. the guiding principle in de-
sign has been can it be done on
a mass basfs?'
With but a rev exceptions the
bear in mind that special require
ments were certain to be opposed
by the sales and production de-
partments, especially the latter.
The result has been the rapid de-
velopment OF an enormous industry
doing an incredible production job
with a marvellous manufacturing
efficiency.
But the cars have suffered. True,
they are dependable and many of
them are strikingIy handsome. but
there is q woeful lack of in
1ividuality, not so much in body
design as with the mechanical
parts.
Il might say that your very pros
perity, your wealth Of materials,
results in a tax on you in the
form of wasteful use.
EurOpe's Problem Different
Suppose you could get. say 10.
more miles to gallon, from your
light cars. The saving would be
enormous. Consciousness of the
necessity for greater economy is
