With the marking OF the New U,
s. Route No. so North, now being
completed by the Ohio Highway De.
partment, the unusual Investigation
which resulted in determination OF
this route IL called to mind
u. s. routes are determined by
the National Conventions Of State
Highway Commissioners, and once
officially selected. a. route is no.
readily changeable. With the rival.
ries existing between cities It is
logical that route selecting author
tiles must be fairly "hardboiled" or
devote most Of their time to hearing
rival claims and competitive com.
munity arguments.
So some national routes remain as
originally located even II the later
roads are shorter or better.
Such q situation was that OF the
new short Route" from Ellenboro,
w. Va. to Athens, Ohio, stretch
of about so miles. The connecting
were the new Short Route Bridge
at st. Mary's, w. Va; the compile.
tion OF the 17-nnile concrete boule-
ward up the north bank OF the Ohio
River from Marietta to the bridge;
and the connection at Marietta with
good roads leading north in every
direction.
Convinced in a general way as to
the route betterment thus brought
about. the organizations along the
new Short Route" made an exact
comparative study of both the old
and new routes with results inter-
esting and startling enough to 40.
peal to motorists generally.
While the new short route"
showed saving in mileage Of As
miles for motorists going on west
from Athens, and 9.9 miles for
those going to Columbus and points
north and west. the saving in
driving time proved startling.
The proposed No. so NorDh showed
a saving of 36 per cent flor west.
bound and IS per cent (for north.
bound traffic over the older route.
Such vast difference In driv.
ing time, as related to the lesser
saving in miles leads to the inevi.
table query as to why this is so.
The investigation, however, fully
developed the answer, for there
are 369 five-degree or greater curves
on the old U. s. No. so (now U. s,
No. SO SOUTH, against 1914 ON the
newer route. Forty-eight of these
1853 curves are blind" /" while onIy
Il on the newer route prevent full
vision ahead. There are five main
line railroad crossings on the then
Route No. SO, as compared to but
three branch line crossings on the
new. Twice as many second-gear
hills and q larger percentage of
gravel road further slowed up
travel on the old route.
The proposed route had seven d.
rect feeder roads, to one on the
south road, and there were 10
recognized points Of historic or
other unusual interest, ali marked
plainly for the convenience of thu
stranger on the short route-wI1iie
the older route afforded only five,
none being marked.
With this convincing evidence,
formal request Tor q u. 8. route
classification was inevitable. And

this particular subject. II outlines
simple tests that even the novice
can make Of all possible symptoms.
Many car owners. answering the
second question, have had consid.
erabIe mechanical experience with
cars. They know the principles be:
hind each and every thing cal
does. But, even In the case OF
this group, the manner in which
those principles are applied il con-
stantIy undergoing refinement and
revision that makes detailed
knowledge more or less essential.
Considering the number Of small
changes wrought In the design Of
mechanical units, service engineers
are convinced that the experienced
car owner will find 1t definitely to
his advantage to read the instruc.
ton book that came with his ia,est
motor car purchase.
Service Facilities Expert
The answer to the first question
virtually answers the third also.
There il no disputing the vast ex.
pansion in service facilities nor that
they have reduced costs by eff
cheney in their operations, but the
emergency does arise when the
motorist will need to know more
than the phone number Of the
nearest service station Many are
so far from being jnstruction-book
minded" that they do not even re-
member it's presence In the tool kit
when the occasion of its intelligent
use arises.
When one considers the instruc.
ton book itself as possible source
of reader neglect. one is doing only
what the car manufactur has
done for several years. The wriyer
is more or less familiar with the
operators manuals of every car on
the American market. 1t must be
admitted that the differ be-
tween various ones would indicate
that some one must be wrong. But,
at the same time, checking hem
over from year to year. It is equally
apparent that every manufacture
is making an effort to improve the
quality of the book.
It must be remembered that 1t Is
pretty difficult to analyze the audi.
ence that will read, or should read,
any instruction book. Particularly
is this true, it is pointed out. with
former luxury car buyers adding
second small cars to their equip.
ment and those of limited financial
capacity now buying large, expen.
sive cars in the used car marts.
1t is difficult to tell just what sort
of guide will be ineligible and pos
si'bly interesting to such a varied
group.
Phrase Is Passing
One deficiency that is passing out
OF the instruction book situation Is
the constant reiteration of the ad-
vice to take the car to the service
station" or Consult an expert. :"
Evidently, the car owners assump-
ton that he might figure out that
preston upon the authors of this
much for himself has made its i'm.
type of literature.
Regardless OF the angle from
which one views it, the 5000, 900
books will help make 5000, 900 car
buyers more efficient motorists il
they are read-as they should be.

result that two or three pages are
