HIGHWAY PROGRAM
BOON TO AUTO|S7
President of Company De-
cIares Progress Is En-
couraging Industry.

The extent of road building is
found encouraging by I. j. Reuter-
president of Odds Motor Works. who
views this phase of motoring as a
highly important factor in general
automotive progress.
Following the ratio of the last
five years, approximately 900 miles
of road probably will be built In this
country during 1926" states Mr.
Reuter-. This will bring the amount
OF hard surfaced roads to total
we'll above 100000 miles. or about
double the amount of improved road
mileage of 10 years ago.
Progress Encourages.
'sThis progress in road building is
encouraging But recent history has
shown us that linear road mileage
alone Is not alone sufficient to judge
progress-that another kind of mea
Surement should be used. Today the
total area of road surface Is much
more vital and important than its
..:.ear mileage, and il is equally i'm
porrant that all automobile owners
use their influence TO see That Wide
roads are constructed
probably the greatest error in
road building during the past 10 years
has been in making roads too narrow
10 handle the ever-increasing traffic.
Narrow roads have been one Of the
big contributing factors in swelling
the list of traffic deaths and mishaps.
1t is estimated that they have cost
millions of dollars through delays of
necessary business transportation.
and have caused further loss due to
the necessity of rebuilding into wider
thoroughfare before the surface had
been worn out.
Roads Too Narrow.
IAN example Of the error of road
planners is to be found in the heart
OF the automobile industry in the II
mile strip of Woodward avenue con-
recting Detroit with Pontiac, Mich.
Hardly 10 years ago concrete
road connecting these two cities
was opened to the public. This road
varied from IA to IS feet in width.
BY 1920 it proved inadequate to

Balloons Offer
Ready Antidote
For Tire Prices

1t is singular coincidence that
just as three popular makes OF cars,
several smaller passenger car
makers and taXicabS turn to the
rubber spring shackle in earnest,
and as means Of cutting down I'M
necessary costs in manufacture and
service, rubber prices are at their
peak. Fortunately, however. bal
loon tires are Offering an effective
antidote for high tire prices, for
they are giving remarkable and
trouble-free mileage.
1t is nothing to find drivers WhD
have run balloons, four or six ply,
10000 to 5000 miles without so
much as puncture.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-01-31

handle the volume of traffic, and now,
at the expense of millions of dollars,
the State of Michigan Is constructing
super-highway zoo feet wide In its
place. 1t Is about now half completed,
and judged by the amount Of traffic
now utilizing 1t, there is a possibility
that even this superroad will be over
crowded by 1896.
Two factors are chiefly respoE-
sible for the building of roads Of in
adequate width. One is the failure to
vision future traffic needs, even in
face of past experience and history.
The second Is that Of false economy.
"Automobilists, and In fact every
person interested in the welfare of his
or her community. should combat such
ideas. History should prove to the
ultra -conServative that traffic will con-
tnue to grow. The great increase in
the use of automobiles and motor
trucks has not abolished the railroad
the subway IN New York did not put
the elevated road out of business de-
spite such predictions. and even a
phenomenal increase in the use Of
other modes of transportation during
the next decade will not halt the
growth Of motor traffic.
Inadequate Roads Costly.
"A person inexperienced In econom-
les can realize that there Is no econ
omy In building q road OF inadequate
width. 1t is a proven fact that con-
gested traffic quickly breaks down
such Il road, necessitating early repair
bills, and ultimate widening or rebuild
ing at 6 heavy additional cost.
Where conditions are such that 1t
is impossible to build a road for the
future as we'll as the present. we can
bring about a large ultimate saving
by urging that an adequate right Of
way be obtained before any road is
built. This will insure sufficient room
for &" wide road without costly con-
demnation proceedings in the future.
and, If the narrow road Is properly
planned, VIII enable the highway to be
widened without having to sacrifice
the original pavement or delaying
current traffic.
The automobile public should have
no hesitancy for demanding good
roads of adequate width to take care
of traffic During the year 1924-the
last for which accurate figures are
available-the owners of automobiles
paid in Federal, State and municipal
taxes the huge sum of 1851 .442 1886.
The amount paid in auto taxes during
1925 will be still larger due to the in.
creased production of cars, more cars
operated and the increase in the num-
Der of States having gasoline taxes.
Paying the bills for these roads en-
titles the public to a voice in future
methods of construction"

Farmers Wives Get
New View of Life
Driving Own Car

Life has been accelerated for the
farmers wife, too. A survey Of
is Mid-Western and southern
States reveals that so per cent of
them are driving their own auto
mobiles. The figures, however,
must not be taken to mean that
modern farm life is all play and no
work in contrast to another and
not remote day, for the same study
revealed that ST. per cent Of them
still draw water from wells or
pumps outside of the house. Case
line is burned for business purposes
when half the farmers wives go
driving. the survey indicates.

Sunlight Hurts Tires.

Although some persons feel that
tire covers are most valuable as pro-
lection from snow, rain and ice. these
factors are negligible as compared to
sunlight itself; in fact, bad weather is
better so far as spare tires are con-
cerned than good weather.

Sweep Off Snow.

Always brush off an accumulation
of snow when bringing the car into
the garage after a storm, otherwise,
the snow in melting will remain on
the various parts of the car too long,
doing all manner of damage before
finally dripping to the floor.

SAFETY IN DRIVING
HAS MANY Factors
Mechanical Perfection of
Cars Never Can Solve
Problem Entirely.

Achievement of safety in driving al
ways must take into account the per
sonal element. and cannot be the re
suit only Of mechanical perfection Of
automotive design or of traffic regula-
ton. in the opinion OF w. H. Cameron.
managing director Of the National
Safety Council, Chicago.
While there is no doubt that the
automobile is nearing mechanical per-
lection, it is not likely that inventors
ever will design q contrivance that
will make a car safe in the hands Of
an unreliable operator or make pedes-
TRANS foolproof," declares Mr.. Cam
eron.
Many Improvements Made.
"Automotive engineers are constant
~ improving automobile brakes, lights,
bumpers, Windshields tail signals, fen
ders. bocy construction. etc, but the
vehicle remains a potentially danger
Gus instrument. Today the automo-
tive industry Is strongly behind the
national safety movement, and it is
not the fault Of the manufacturers
that accidents are caused By reckless
drivers and pedestrians who will not
stop. look and listen before proceeding
to cross the street.
we cannot blame every automobile
accident on the operator, nor on the
pedestrian. Failure on the part of Ell
ther the ear driver or the pedestrian
to observe the ordinary rules OF safety
may impern one or both parties"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-01-31
Use Brakes Cautiously.

Brakes should be used with caution
on slippery streets, and especially
on hills. Shutting off the ignition and
using the dead engine with the gears
engaged is the most effective nay 10
stop safely under such condition.

Block of Wood Often Useful.

Carry block of wood along with
the jack. When the roads and streets
are filled with snow and ice ruts. IL
frequently happens that the place for
the jack is bit low. A block to go
under 1t and give it more height would
just solve the problem.

Don't Lock Wheels in Stopping

An expert driver never Is guilty Of
habitualiy locking the wheels of his
car when coming to q stop. In such
instances the braking effect Is trans
ferred from the drums to the tire
where 1t touches the pavement.

LOCAL RACES DRAW
. BAY STATE VOTERS
Both Big Parties Senatorial
and GubernatoriaI Candi-
dates Are Unopposed.

By the ,AsSUlated Press.
BOSTON, Mass, September 1.-THE
major portion of the primary vote
next Tuesday In President COolidge's
home State is expected to be drawn
out only through purely local contests.
Gov. Alvin T. Fuller. seeking re-
nomination on the Republican ticket.
is unopp0sed, as is the Democratic
candidate. Col. William A. CASTOR.
Senator William NJ. Butler, appoint
ed in November, 1924, to fill the un-
expired team OF the late Senator
Lodge, Is Anopposed for the Repub-
lican nomina ton, while former Sena-
tor David 1. Walsh Is without an Op-
ponent on the Democratic ticket.
Washington Cook, candidate for the
Republican denomination to the gov
ernor'S council, recently created a
furry when he announced he would
file independerN papers in opposition
to Senator Butler. His action will not
affect the primary vote. but will place
his name on the ballot in the Novem-
ber elections.
Five contests for the congressional
nomination In the IL districts appear
on the Republican ballot and on
the Democratic. Interest on the Re-
publican side is centered in the fifth
district, where Mrs. Edith NourSe
Rogers. widow of Representative John
Jacob Rogers, is opposed for renomi-
nation by John Bordman of Concord.
Mrs. Rogers was elected to fill out her
husbands term. The chief Democratic
contest lies in the twelfth district,
where Representative James A. Gal
Ivan and John w. Mccormack, both
of Boston, are opponents.

the contests for the county Nomina-
tions are concerned.
Republican Situation.
The Republicans of the county are
also in the midst of u squabble Whlch
will be settled on Tuesday.
The contest between Representative
Frederick n. Zihlman and George
Louis Eppler, both OF Cumberland
for the congressional nomination to
eucceed Mr.. Zihlman, seems to be at
tracting the most attention. Former
states Attorney Thomas l.. Dawson
paul Sleman and Wolson l.. Town
send. organization leaders, are sup
porting Mr. Eppler in quiet way
while Postmaster Willis B. Burdette
Of Rockville, Postmaster &. Duva1l OF
Gaithersburg and Frank L. Hewitt,
20 ondidate for the State senate nom
ination, are leading the fight for Mr..
Zihlman. Friends Of Representative
Zihlman claim he will carry the
county. and no one seems to be IN
clined to dispute that assertion. Ills
ma iority. however, is expected to De
small.
The only other contest that Is ap-
narently being noticed to any extent
is that for the nomination for the
state senate. Frank L. Hewitt OF
silver Spring. Mrs. Mary T: Stock
of bethesda and John F. Seibert OF
Garrett Park are the candidates. The
orga nization is taking no part in this
fight.
Friends of Representative Zihlman
are said to be backing Addison r.
Mullikin, Mrs Eva c. Chase and Sen
ator O. E. Weller for the nominations
for governor, clerk of the court OF
appeals and United States Senator
respectively, while some of the col
ored leaders are understood to De
quietly espousing the cause of Marion
4. Humphrey for governor. A. Kings
lev Love for clerk of the court of APP
peals and John Philip Hill for United
States Senator. In this contest, too
the attitude Of the party organization
is hands off," The Weller r-Mullikin-
Chase combine is expected to easily
carry the county. Those are the only
Republican primary contests.
