IMPROVED ROADS HELD
FARMERS BIG NEED
Cheap Transportation Seen as Aid
in Solving Problem of
Marketing.

Improved highways in the rural areas
will go far in helping to solve the
much-discussed problem of farm relief
by bringing the farmer in closer touch
with urban centers, according to the
American Automobile Association.
The national motoring body pointed
out that while 5,007,124, or more than
ope-f1fth of all motor vehicles, are farm
owned, only 7.5 per cent of all farms
are located on macadam, concrete or
brick highways.
while 1t is true" says the A. A. A.,
that the Federal-aid system has done
much to connect up important high
ways and make education facilities and
rural resident. there is still a great
need for connecting roads in the ma
tional network of highways"
This is s~strikingly shown by the fact
that 43.l per cent of farms are located
on unimproved dirt roads, with 81. 3 per
cent ON improved roads and 149 per
cent on gravel roads.
Economists have long claimed that
transportation is one Of the basic fac
tors Of prosperity on the farm" the
statement continues. Therefore, If
adequate highways are built to serve
the farmer, with the steady increase In
the number OF farm-owned motor yea
hicles, the farmer will eventually move
his own products. sell to roadside mar
kets and In many ways enjoy the eco
nomic independence to which he is en-
tiled"

ROAD RELOCAT|ONS
SEEN AS ECONOMY
Highway Records Reveal
Money Saved for Motorists
and Government.

Relocation of highways, attendant
with the laying of pavements, save both
the motorist and the Government con-
siderable sums of money, highway rec
OrdS reveal, according TO z. E. Duffy,
highway educational writer.
Samuel Eckels, chief engineer of the
Pennsylvania Department of Highways,
asserts that in the last few years re-
locations brought about by new high
way paving have shortened Pennsyl-
vania roads by 210 miles. Mr.. EckelS
estimates that this travel distance
saved is worth more than $4,000, 900
annually to the users of Pennsylvania
highways.
Relocations, highway authorities point
out, are not always feasible, but fire.
Quently new alignmentS can be made
that make for straighter and safer
travel. For instance, Colorado has just
completed 73-mile concrete pavement
between Denver and Colorado Springs
an up-to-date highway that Is not in
terrupted by single railroad grade
crossing. Five of the original 13 cross
ings were eliminated simply by reloca-
ton of the highway.
Efficient highway building now calls
for a thorough study of all conditions
and circumstances before the pavement
is laid. Modern highway builders, in
considering the location of a pavement,
no longer take the original right of way
for granted. The roadway is surveyed
and If practicable it is shortened Hun
dreds of miles of travel are wasted daily
because of roundabout routes and hap
penstance" engineering of other days.
Prof. T. r. Agg. nationally known
highway engineer of Iowa State College,
after conducting a lengthy study of
wasted travel, declares that tremendous
savings are possible by making travel
more direct.
His figures show that if a highway
carries about 1000 cars a day, or a
total of 365,000 tons of traffic year,
each foot of distance saved to traffic
will justify an expenditure of at least
$50 for road shortening-that is to say,
it would be strict economy to spend
$316,800 to shorten road by mile.
So in addition to the regular benefits,
pavement projects also bring the likeli-
hood of shortening the roadway to the
least possible distance. This means
money saved to the motorist, who is
also the taxpayer, and to the Govern
ment through lowered maintenance and
construction costs.

Better Financing Methods Put Europe
Motor Transport on Stronger Basis

ITALY is striking example Of the
great improvement in financing meth
DDS which have come about in Europe
during the past year. Formerly the
dealer had to swing both the financing
of his own inventory and the purchases
Of his customers. Facilities are now
available for the public to buy cars on
time through financing companies, and
this has meaSurably strengthened the
trade. Italy has an excellent financing
law whereby such companies are reg
istered and supervised. The state
license activities are carried in Italy
through the Royal Automobile Club,
which in turn operates through local
clubs.
I'm Latvia there is a notable i'm
provement in roads. At Riga, for eX-
ample, the plank road which was built
during the war is being torn up and re-
placed with modern surfacing.
In CzechOslovakia there Is a grow
ing appreciation of the value of the
motor vehicle both for building up the
national prosperity of the country and
in inviting international trade.
Europe IS q natural geographic unit.
There are, 1t is true, barriers of Ian
guage and tradition which have been
in existence for hundreds Of years.
These have been to large extent the
result of the separation of peoples be-
cause Of the lack of transportation.
All the progressive elements in Europe
are working for better communication,
for the profits of cooperation and for
doing away with the costliness of
rivalries."

A NEW YEAR MESSAGE
Resolution That Every Motorst in the District Of Columbia
Is Asked to Make for 1929.
BY William Fl. HarIand-
Director OF Traffic.

ct resolve to obey the traffic regula-
tions, exert the utmost care while driv-
ing and at all times be considerate of
all other motorists and pedestrians dur
ing the coming year"
This New Year resolution should be
made by motorists of the National Cap
ital. If adhered to. the streets OF
Washington will be safe for all fire.
quenters and the year 1929 will be a
year bordering on the millennium.
1t is my hope that this city will lead
all others in the reduction of fatalities
and accidents. It is now headed to-
ward that enviable position, Baltimore
alone, I believe, having a better per-
centage of the cities of more than $780,
900 population.
Traffic Lights Big Aid.
The traffic lights are a great assist
ance in cutting down the number Of
accidents. Records kept of streets
where they have been installed have
proven this conclusively. More lights
are to be installed, including the busi-
ness sections. The public by now is
well acquainted with them.
This leaves it up to the motorists and
pedestrians themselves. First of all,
regulations must be complied with.
They have carefully been formulated
along necessary lines for safety and an
easy flow of traffic. These factors cam
not be insured if the rules are not
obeyed.
Utmost care in driving means what 1t
implies. Taking chances, being negli-
gent and not being alert cannot pos
sibly constitute careful driving Care
full driving also means taking proper
care of the car For u driver who does

"Europe's motor transportation is In
a far stronger position than it was a
year ago, due to better financing
methods, improved traffic regulation,
and the use of vehicles for economic
purposes" says George F. Bauer,
manager of the foreign trade depart
tnent of the National Automobile Cham
ber of Commerce, in his report to that
body issued this week. Mr.. Bauer has
Just returned from abroad after a ten
week visit in Germany, Poland. Latvia,
Austria, Hungary, switzerland, Italy,
France, England and other points.
I'm Poland" Mr. Bauer reports, "the
outstanding need is for motor trucks,
The authorities have been urging
greater production on the part of the
farmer. but this has been held back by
lack of transportation. carload OF
fertilizer, for example, requires ten
wagons and ten drivers to deliver 1t to
the farm, or else one wagon and one
driver over ten days time. obviously
the waste of human time and effort
here is enormous compared with the
quick delivery service when trucks are
available. The same situation applies
with respect TO farm products One will
often see a farmer making an all-nlght
trip on a train carrying only two baskets
to market Roads and motor transporta-
ton are now seen to be one OF Polands
chief agricultural needs"
AS representative OF the International
Chamber of Commerce. Mr.. Bauer
attended the highways committee of the
League Of Nations. Uniform tratnc
signs for all Europe are being worked
out by the League" he says. THE bar
rier of language is being overcome by
use of pictures. For example, the draw
ing of locomotive will indicate a grade
crossing. This movement is expected to
simplify and promote international
travel Gelmany's noted talent in poster
design is evidenced in her highway signs,
which are very effective. using the color
sciZ,ne of red letters on white back
A{nd
The chief obstruction to the growth
of the bus business is the effort toward
government monopoly and the opposi-
ton by railroads in some countries. Bus
operation can render the best service
only If left to the greater initiative Of
private management and to the larger
resources of private capital.

AUTO ACCESSORIES
OUTPUT HOLDS UP
Little Change in Production
During Past Two Weeks
Is Reported.

Little change in production in the
parts and accessories division of the
automotive industry has taken place
during the past two weeks, according to
B. H. Cram. president of Grams Auto
motive Reports, Incorporated, industry,
authority. While schedules are not
taxing the manufacturing facilities of
the various plants, they show no incli-
nation toward falling below the levels
that have been in effect since the early
part of November. The chief reason
that output does not increase more
rapidly is due to the fact that many
plants have closed or will soon close
for inventory purposes, and while oper-
ationS are favorable for individual
companies, the aggregate output is un-
able to increase due to lack of con-
centrated production by the industry
as whole.
Original equipment and wholesale
business are chiefly responsible for the
favorable tone which exists in this
branch of the industry. Automobile
manufacturers are again ordering on
a fairly substantial scale, with commit
ments being currently released. in some
eases covering the first three months
of the coming year. The preponder-
ance of new models which are being
turned out by manufacturers resum-
ing automobile production on a large
scale is sustaining activity in the parts
and accessories division of the industry.
This activity is expected to increase
regularly during the next so days, and
the close of the first quarter should
again find sales and production back
on the same basis as existed in the
late Summer and early Autumn months.
Retail sales may be classified as fair
to good, with a slightly weakening
tendency noted. The current sur
vey shows sales good in IL centers,
fair in 10 and slow in 7. This COM
pares with the situation two weeks
ago, when sales were good in IL areas,
fair in IA and slow in 8. The trend OF
sales has changed but little in two
weeks At the present time the trend
is up in localities, down in 8 and un-
changed in IA Two weeks ago the
trend was upward in 10 localities,
downward in II and unchanged in 10.

his machine is in proper condition cam
not drive carefully.
Thirdly, consideration for other mo-
torists and pedestrians is requisite for
safe driving. The driver who drives
his car without any regard for the other
fellow is liable to have other faults. He
does not care. Therefore he cannot be
careful. He will not give signals upon
turning. he will try to enforce in any
manner his right of way, or what he
thinks Is his right of way. He is bound
to be reckless.
Few WiIlful Drivers.
In the above paragraphs 1 have not
mentioned the willful law violator. I
am of the opinion that Washington has
only small number of this kind Any
message to them would but fall on deaf
ears. The only way to reach them is
by law enforcement This function
daily is being attended to by my as
sistant, M. o. Eldridge. The undesir-
ables are being weeded out.
But it Is the motorists who at times
forget to remember the niceties of driv-
ing with whom want to communicate.
A few hints to them is all that believe
necessary. They want to drive cor
rectly and as rule do, but one moments
carelsSsneSs can cause untold trouble.
Being traffic director in any city IS
not an easy task. 1t is not easy it is
impossible to get every one to agree.
Many of the worlds greatest results
were obtained through compromise.
But one cannot compromise with safety.
After all. that Is what am working
for Won't every one help me in that
task? 1t Is a great work, and its rec
ompenSeS worth having.
I sincerely wish to every one a happy
and safe new year.
