Roads to Care for Cars
A problem which faces the public
as a whole is the providing of roads
| to care for the ever increasing
use OF automotive transportation.
Twenty years ago we had to pro-
| mote good roads as a pioneering
idea, Now a new kind OF pioneer
| ing is necessary-the pioneering of
| the city planner, Of the highway
engineer. of the public financier.
Around our great centers Of pOpu.
| lation we are building super-high-
ways, douhle-deck streets, separated
crossings.
Each new facility built IL imme-
diately used to capacity. Each new
short route Immediately fills itself.
The new bridge and the new tunnel
act as traffic magnets, drawing
great crowds. These are most
highly encouraging signs, demon
strating that the improvements were
needed, that other facilities will be
welcomed.
Skilled professional skill to en-
vision and plan these improvements
II the first essential. Next we must
gain the willingness Of the public
to carry through programs of great
magnitude and complicated difficult
ties, Including those of finance. Yet
viewing the progress Of the last
quarter century, who can doubt the
success of these necessary steps
forward.

Knight Motor Starts
In Zero Temperatures

During the recent cold wave in
Michigan, the Falcon Motors Cor
poration conducted novel test to
prove their laboratory work in de-
veloping a car that would operate
perfectly in the lowest tempera-
lures. Ten new Falcon Knight cars
were allowed to stand for hours
in the open and frequent starting
tests were made with stop watches.
This open-air test followed an ex
tensive program of experimental
work in the refrigeration room. to
develop the full possibilities Of the
knight sleeve-valve motor for in
slant starting at the lowest tenn
peratures.
Officials of Falcon Motors Cor
poration stated that every car in
this open-air test took less than
three seconds in starting with the
mercury at zero. When the tenn.
perature rose to 10 above zero
these cars started in one second.
1t is claimed that laboratory tests
in the refrigeration room show that
the Falcon-Knight car will start in
five seconds with the temperature
at 10 below zero.
