MEXICO BUILDING.
ROADS IN EARNEST
200 Miles Now Open on New
Route From Texas Border
to Mexico City.

In view Of the great interest now be-
ing manifested by governments. AUTO
mobile touring clubs and individuals
relative to a highway connecting the
United States with Latin America, the
American Road Builders convention at
Cleveland last week brought TO light
many interesting facts
Among the $4,000 delegates were nu-
merOus engineers and road builders from
the Latin American republics. Mexicc<
however, sent the largest number n
representatives, headed by Ssnc: has

gave intimate glimpses Of existing high
ways and OF other roads in various
stages of construction. OF Mexico's
plan for modern highway from Nuevo
Laredo on the border of the United
States to Mexico City, $50 miles it was
shown that something more than 200
miles Of this road has been graded and
made passable for machines-that is, a
trifie south Of Monterrey. From the
latter city the route to the Mexican
capital lies via Victoria and Pachuca.
The beginning of 1923 sees actual con-
struction work on various divisions Of
this great highway
Another notable stride in Mexican
highway building is the recently COM
pleted road from Mexico City to AGA
pulco, about 200 miles. This highway
not only opens direct road comnunica-
ton between the capital and the Pacific
port, but provides an extremely pic
tIIresule motor route, Although ONLY

considerable motor traffic.
1t was also shown at Cleveland that

Statistics of the Berlin traffic lines

Yet, despite constant complaints of the
city fathers about their traffic problem,
the real traffic problem seems. to one

London and Paris, extremely small
There is congestion at one or two
points. but 1t Is due chiefly to bad plan
ming owing to the refusal of the ex-
Kaiser to allow new streets to be opened
up in the center of the city. There are
still many dray horses and even an
occasional horse cab. and these impede
the traffic. But the number OF motor
cars is remarkably small for city of

finished and mentioned his man, we
were more in the dark than before.
If I had been him, out OF respect
for my candidate, after l finished my
speech. wouldn't have mentioned who
1t was. No one would ever suspected
and perhaps a good mans name would

him, but when the Smith delegates
