BAY STATE SEEKS
BEAUTIFUL ROADS
Highway Development Works
Through Cultivation of
Native Plants.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, october 24.-Most States
are proud of good roads. Massachusetts,
seeks to be remembered for beautiful
-Foaeis.
Roadside development, breathing the
personality of the State through Culti-
walton of native plants, shrubs and
trees, has become one Of the important
phases Of highway maintenance.
The State highway system Of 1900
miles is undergoing a progressive land
scaping. Harsh outlines and stern
prof1les are softened by background
paintings bare spots are covered with
ferns, clover or small shrubbery, and
trees are planted where they are needed.
Development OF natural beauty, rather
than artificial paintings which stiff1y
reveal the hand Of man. is the aim,
according to James H. Taylor. high
way landscape supervisor of the State
department of public works.
To guard against the monotony Of
miles of tree-lined roads the AK also
has been swung, Trees that curtain

ITALY TALKING
j. s. CARS.

The inflexible rule OF Benito Mus
sohni In italy, autocrastic as it may
be, has accelerated the progress of
italian business and industry to a
point equal, II not superior. to that
of other European nations.
Returning from a European trip,
G. M. Williams, president Of the
Marmon Motor Car Company, makes
this observation after visiting q
dozen and more countries abroad,
surveying business conditions in
general, and particularly studying
the export market for American
automobiles.
'sMussolini's methods have been
called dictatorial, domineering and
even despotic," Williams said. "It
is scarcely within the premise Of q
business visitor to italy to judge
the truth Of these assertions, yet
the fact stands that Mussolini has
snapped Italy into high gear in
the field of world commerce and
has accomplished an Improvement
that is outstanding among Euro.
pean nations.
Industrial and commercial leaders
in other countries of Europe, as well
result of Mussolihi's leadership has
been for the good of italian busi-
ness. That, Of course, IL to the
best interests Of Italian people, who
are learning to enjoy the better and
more modern conveniences of life
and, consequently, are keeping step
with the march of world progress.
Singing out developments In
automotive transportation from gem
eral industrial improvement in
italy, there is marked progress in
road construction and automobile
sales. American.built motor cars
are finding a market that is ex-
panding as rapidly as tariff re.
strictions win permit, and Italians,
as a people. are becoming motor
minded in the sense of recognizing
the value and convenience Of auto
mobiles for business as well as
pleasure.

TIDE WATER OIL
ISSUES MAPS

Bearing in mind Lindbergh's Ia
nous flight that was negotiated
with nothing more elaborate than
q schoolboy's pocket map, the Tide
Wat9r Motor Oil Company has just
issued the first of series Of
aviators and motorists road maps
called "Tydol Trails" No in the
series covers the States of Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland and
New Jersey.
Tydol Trails map No. not only
covers the territory from Lake Erie
to Washington and from Pittsburgh
to Philadelphia, but presents en-
largements Of the principal cities
Baltimore, Newark, Washington,
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
It gives the road routes in red
and clearly indicates the mileage be-
tween important points. For service
to ayiators, the established airmail
and passenger routes, public air.
ports and beacon lights are also in
dicated in red.
Another feature is through route
mileage chart which permits the
computation of mileage not only be-
tween principal cities, but also be-
tween any given points on the map.
State and interstate highways. fer
ries, boat lines and elevation above
sea level are given. A border scale
IS divided into approximately 5o-mile
intervals.
The Tide Water OIL Company an
nounces that the map is the first of
its kind to be published for this ter
ritory.
Five different maps have been h.
sued covering the Eastern seaboard.

POWE R
IN GASOLINE

Through the medium Of an effic-
lent automobile engine single
drop of gasoline win roll an auto
mobile weighing nearly q ton and
a half over more than foot OF
highway.
This example Of the marvellous
power developed in the modern
automobile was figured out by
Werner Fetz, research engineer for
the E. L. Bruce Lumber Company
of Memphis, Tenn. after he had
completed a recent 3,000-mile trip
through the east in his oldsmooile
six landau.
For the first 1000 miles Of the
trip Fetz and a companion alter.
mated at the wheel OF the Olds-
mobile, each driving 100 miles at
tirne, and made stops only for
gasoline and one meal. The re-
fnainder Of the trip was mads by
Fetz alone but 1t showed equally
outstanding car performance.
At the conclusion of the trip
the engineering mind Of FetZ was
intrigued by what fine automobile
today can and does accomplish and
he figured to the drop Of gasoline
how much power was developed.
"Car owners talk a good deal
about the mileage their cars make
per gallon of gasoline" said FetZ.
L doubt, however, that the ma jor-
ity of them realize what their
statements involve We may discuss
the billions of dollars spent during
the war, or the hundreds Of light
years q star is away from US. but
since we cannot visualize such
figures they have absolutely no
meaning.
ut Isl the same with gasoline
mileage. Take, for example, q car
which averages 17.S miles per gal
lon and see what this consumption
Of gasoline actually means after
we have reduced these figures so
that we can grasp them more
easily.
Seventeen and eight-tenths miles
represents 93,984 feet, and one gal.
lon Of gasoline contains 6S,6O2
drops. Consequently 1t requires
O.73 drops Of gasoline to move the
automobile one foot
