Motorists Urged to Drive Moderately
And Steadily on Cross-Country Trips

The spasmodic, high-speed driver sell
dom is.
Then, too, the safety factor of mod
crate driving should never be overlooked
Driving hazards at 70 miles per hour are
four times as great as they are at SO,
If one car is moving westward at 70
and another eastward at so, they are
approaching each other at a 120-mile-
an-hour rate, 176 feet per second. and
at that speed many things can happen
in seconds time.
But because motorists frequently
experience these passing speeds on the
highway, there has develoved upon the
manufacturer definite obligation to
privide every possible safety factor.
LAS factor in automobile travel, the
manufacturers sphere Is to provide cars
that are as safe, dependable, as easily
controlled and as perfect in perform
ance as Is humanity possible-in other
words, to present as nearly perfect a
mechanism as Is possible. In the use
of this mechanism the best drivers are
those who exercise the most Judgment
They drive efficiently rather than very
fast and their speed is gagged to allow
an ample factor of safety for them
selves and other users of the highway"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-12-02

To make the best time on long. cross
country trips, drive moderately and
steadily. This method will eat up the
miles faster than tremendous bursts of
speed followed by periods of relaxation.
and will also sharply advance the safety
of highway traffic.
These are the opinions Of William r.
Strickland assistant chief engineer in
the automotive field, based upon his own
driving experience and observations of
engineers made during many cross
country runs.
with constant improvement in motor
car design and manufacture" Mr.
Strickland states, 'the best makes of
cars today will stand without injury
the stress of high speed. The rate of
travel is not matter of what the
car can do. 1t depends upon the drivers
judgment. But If getting somewhere in
the shortest time is the object, moder-
ate, continuous travel is the proved
bes6 method-and the safest.
Observations of our experimental
engineers on their cross-country runs
have been that the steady driver at as
miles per hour-and. at. the most not
over 50-reaches his destination ahead
OF the tense, excited driver who flashes
by at 20. The calm driver is always in
mental condition to maintain his pace.

PLANTING Of TREES
AID TO HIGHWAYS
Massachusetts Is Among
States Having Effective
Laws for Identification.

The act passed at the last session
of Congress permitting the Federal
government to pay half the cost of
wayside planting along Federal-aid
highways will give considerable impetus
to the movement long fostered by wom-
ems clubs and other social organiza-
tons. Its effect soon will be evident
in an improvement of the appearance
of the main interstate roads, according
to the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Latest available figures show that
IS States have no laws governing tree
and shrub planting along highways.
A few of the remaining % have good
laws, but the majority have Indifferent
ones.
The Massachusetts, Department of
Public Works and the highway and
forestry departments of other States
have demonstrated how much can be
done at small cost to beautify the road
sides by judicious planting of native
trees. shrubs and perennial flowers.
The Massachusetts department is en-
powered by law to make roadside i'm
provements, the work including such
planting, requirements and care as
out as a State highway, 1t is generally
made sufficiently wide to provide an
area on each side of the travelled por-
ton for roadside improvement. No
tree, shrub or plant within such q
highway can be cut, removed or new
ones added without permit from the
highway department.
The work of roadside Improvement
III Massachusetts is done by the main
tenance division. The cost is included
as part of the regular maintenance
expenditure of the State, The State
has a nursery at Palmer, where trees
and shrubs are propagated and where
the highway landscape supervisor trains
men IN the care Of trees and roadside
Identification.
Public acquisition in all States of
suitable tracts Of land along the high
way for State parks, for purposes OF
recreation and conservation of timber
and animal life, and the ACQUISITION of
small road-bordering strips and plots
Tor development of parkways and park
lets, says the bureau, would enhance
considerably the appearance of the
roadSadeS.

EXPORT OFFICIAL PRAISES
WORLD AUTO CONDITIONS
Situation Better Than Year Ago
in European Countries, He
Says After Tour Abroad.

The general economic and political
situation in various countries of Europe
shows decided improvement over this
same period last year, according to R.
S. Wiley, automotive export executive
Wiley has Just returned from visit to
various European capitals and from at
tendance at the Paris, Berlin and Lon
don automobile salons
Business men Of Europe are much
more confident than a year ago, &C
cording to Wiley, and trade is much
less affected by political maneuvering,
which is also decreasing. Public con-
fidence in government has increased
to marked degree, he observes.
An outstanding fact is that working
people are being paid high wages and
prosperity is evident on all sides. With
exception of two countries, according
to Wiley, unemployment is reduced to
minimum.
Public acceptance of American cars is
an accepted fact, and European manu-
facturers are being influenced decidedly
by American design.

Pneumatic Tires
On Trucks Hailed
AS Economy Move

From $25 100000 to $40, Ooo, 900 in
road building and maintenance costs
would be saved taxpayers in the
United States annually if all trucks
travelled on pneumatic tires.
The estimates were prepared by
national and State highway officials
for companies now advising the use
Of pneumatir tires instead of solid
tires on trucks engaged in intercity
and interstate freight hauling.
Trucks and trailer units in many
States are being equipped with as
high as % pneumatic tires each.
Elimination of the solid tires Is saw
ing roads, trucks and operating time.
