MASSACHUSETTS 1928
ROAD BILL $500, 900
Bituminous Macadam Is Used on
90 of Some 1873 Jobs in
Past Year.

Massachusetts,, which in 1893 was the
first State to establish a State high
way department, built $8.500,000 worth
Of new pavements on its State road
system in 1928. incidentally its engi-
neers gave a distinct shock to the army
of highway experts who regard the
method OF John Louden Macadam, the
canny Scotch originator Of broken stone
roads, as belonging in class of an
tiques along with the dodo and the
high-wheel velocipede.
Out of some 1913 jobs SO were of btu
minous macadam, Is of asphaltic con-
crete and Is of Portland cement con-
crete. or about lao miles of bituminous
macadam, 40 miles bituminous concrete
and IS miles of Portland cement con-
crete. The States preference for the
modern edition of the time-honored
macadam is based upon the striking
fact that of the Is heaviest Travelled
roads, carrying an average daily traffic
of 1854 motor vehicles, IL were OF
bituminous macadam. In this type OF
pavement about SO per cent by weight
consists of stone or gravel aggregate,
thereby making full use of local mate
rails. saving freight and manufacturing
costs and insuring quick and easy re-
pairs without causing undue lnconven-
fence to motorists.
Highway departments of other States
in which are to be found ample supplies
of good stone and gravel for road build
ing are giving renewed attention to the
economies effected by Massachusetts in
the hope of lowering their construction
costs and keeping their road funds cir
culating at home.

BEAUTY OF MODERN AUTOS
LARGELY DUE TO WOMEN
Esthetic Sense of Feminine Customers Pro-
duces Desire of Dealers to Make
Cars Good-looking.

she Is fully as competent a driver as
one finds anywhere. About the only
thing left to satisfy her completely Is
some method whereby tire will change
itself. However, punctures are few
and far between nowadays, and when
they do happen the matter of tire
changing is certainly not beyond the
ability of the average woman driver.
Times Have Changed.
There was time when it was really
questionable as to whether or not the
automobile was as disable by women as
men. This was In the earlier days of
the industry when, in the first place,
the cars were not so easily manipulated
even by men and, in the second place,
when women were more easily manipu-
lated by men. Times have changed
and now we find that the automobile
yields as responsibility to the feminirAs
touch as to any other. We also flno
that women have become identified
more closely with many other phases of
life, all of which have tended to give
them new freedom. One expression
of this new freedom is realized in the
ownership and the operation Of an
automobile.
1t is easy to see that women ~
thoroughly competent drivers. While
some will disagree, the real answer n
found in a careful observation of per-
sons operating automobiles on our
American highways. Taking everything
into constellation, and especially the
most essential factor Of safety, it will
be generally observed that women are
in every respect as competent drivers
as men. This situation in itself tends
to make women dominating influence
in this industry.

BRAKES MUST DISSIPATE
GREAT AMOUNT OF HEAT
Temperature of Drums Is Studied
as Engineers Seek Solution
of Problems.

When car moving at rs miles per
hour Is brought to a halt by braking,
a great deal Of heat. probably the
equivalent of between 100000 and
5000 900 foot-pounds, must be dissipat-
ed. The brake-drum temperature, under
such circumstances, often rises momen-
tarily to approximately 1000 degrees
Fahrenheit and the necessity of rapidly
dissipating this heat must hereafter
be given more attention than it has
received in the past, said William G..
Wall, past president Of the Society of
Automotive Engineers, at recent meet
ing of the society's Indiana section.
The improvement made in brakes in
recent years has made faster automo-
biles possible, and increased decelerat-
ing, or stopping, ability has been gained
by using larger brake drums and larger
braking surfaces, according to Mr.. Wall.
When a car that travels at high speed
is being stopped, the brake effectiveness
often Is found to be diminishing during
the last part of the declaration. because
the brake drum is expanding. With
car weight tending to increase, brak-
ing ability must of course be increased.

Spark Plug Has Hard Task.

Few mechanical contrivances rival
the spark plug in the strain their reg
ular functions impose on them, says
o. c. Rohde, chief engineer in the
spark plug industry. For every mile a
car runs each of its spark plugs must
fire its charge about $500 times. Not
only must the spark be timed accurately
to the thousandth of second, but the
plug must Withstand heat variations
changing rapidly from the temperatures
of the outside air up to as high as 1900
degrees.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, Mich, April 6.-The story
Of the automobile industry under pres
ent conditions of business and indus
trial activity is one of volume produc-
ton. The totals reached in March bv
the various plants have just been
made public, and they are said to rep
resent a grand maximum exceeding
anything ever achieved before by the
industry as whole.
Never had two large producers like
Ford and Chevrolet maintained outputs
exceeding 5000 and 5000 cars a day.
respectively, in one season. There were
161 1894 Ford cars manufactured In
March, nearly $4,000 more than in Feb
ruary, when the total was recorded as
1901. Of these 157,005 were passen-
ger cars.
In the first quarter of the year, the
Ford statement discloses, 1,359,353
units, including passenger and COM
mercial cars, were built. For the home
trade 1,122,836 were produced; 1876, 460
went for export and 110,057 were turned
out by Ford of Canada.
Chevrolet, following the switch from
the four to six cylinder models, has
beaten all production records for one
month. March brought an output Of
D~Sb
previous month for Chevrolet was May,
1928, with total of l40,775. The
March volume represents a jump from
121,249 in February, and from 133,657
in March, 1928.
Record for Chevrolet.
All marks for the first quarter like
wise have been exceeded by Chevrolet.
The total has run to 352,701 passenger
and commercial cars, compared with
342,1s4 in the corresponding period OF
1928. Hudson, which has been maintain,
ing a record production of Hudson and
Essex cars daily. reports March produc-
tion as 44295, with total for the first
three months as 108,29 Both figures
are the largest this producer has ever
achieved for any corresponding period.
Hudson officials say sales are even ex-
ceedinr factory output. For the week
ending March % sales nationally were
said TO total 1905, while production
was 10.45o. For April the Hudson
achedule has been set at $4,000.

HIGHEST VOLUME IN HISTORY

first-quarter figures up to 25,284, nearly
double the same period in 1928.
REQ, with 4,611 units in March, was
80 per cent ahead of the same month in
1923. The first quarter of this year
totaled 10, 100, against 8,148 in the cor
responding 1928 period. The company's
business was evenly divided between
cars and SpeedwagonS.
Hupp's March total of shipments was
4,316 cars, lettering that of February
which was 4,161.
The Oakland Motor Car Co. this
week placed car No. 100000, which
it recently produced. on exhibition in
Detroit. The one-millionth car stands
out in vivid contrast to the first Oak
land two-cylinder car manufactured in
1907. Since those days production has
made continuous climb from 278 cars
in 1908 to 1881 in 1915, and 54,40l in
1919. BY 1925 the annual volume had
risen to 1896. In 1928 the total was
100000. This year, officials say. the
production is likely to reach 100000.
I Durant Shows Increase.
Shipments from the Durant factories
in Lansing, Mich; Toronto, Ont, and
Oakland, Calf, during the first quar-
ter, officials report, totaled LOTS units,
compared with 2o,976 last year in the
same period Schedules at the Lansing
plant are being increased and the second

gains.

TEST BRAKE Innings.

$4,000 Miles Use Is Common in
Many Experiments.
Nodded brake lining is now being
fitted at the factory on a number of
makes of large production cars and the
indications are that well adjusted set
of brakes with such lining will give
normal service. of between 10000 and
10000 miles, according to statements
made in paper on the subject pub
lished in the March issue of the S. A. E.
Journal. There are records of many
cases. even on factory test cars. in
which $4,000 miles has been obtained
and the lining was only about half
worn out.
A large number of cars equipped
with nodded brake lining are on the
road, and the records indicate that
the wear is generally more satisfactory
than it was with most woven Innings.
