ROADS DEVELOPED

Highway Program Regarded as
Having Opened Vast I'm .
touched Resources.

One Of the outstanding points OF
progress III the Western World Is the
recent highway development in South
America, according to George F. Bauer.
manager Of the export department OF
the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce.
Highway development, in Mr.. Baueris
opinion, has wider influence than its
effect on motor transport. There are
vast untouched resources on the south
ern continent, UNEMPLOYED areas miles
back from the river route. AS high
ways continue to penetrate into these
new territories this new wealth will be
made available and will result in a
greater per capital prosperity.
In Brazil there has been consider
able industrial expansion. Sac Paulo
Is one of the fast growing cities Of the
world. Motor plants, hydraulic cleo
trio developments and other industries
are forging ahead. There Is now O
350-mile highway from this city to Rio
de Janeiro, and new road is being
planned from Rio de Janeiro to
Petropolis.

ATTENTION GIVEN USED
CAR VITAL, SAYS DEALER
Purchasers Are Advised to Accord
Auto Fair Treatment by
Oscar Coolican.

give the used car the same careful
treatment you would new autonno-
bile" Is the advice OF Oscar Cooltcan,
local automobile dealer, predicated upon
his conviction that the motorist errs
who fails to accord his used car pur-
chase the same consideration given the
new automobile and that much of any
subsequent dissatisfaction with hts
choice is due to this lack of adequate
care.
THE motorist can 60 into the used
car market today and buy a fine auto
mobile, capable of giving thousands Of
miles of trouble-free service. But, to
get that service, the owner logically
must be willing to give the car the same
brand of maintenance he would q new
automobile Strangely, many purchasers
of used cars do not do this
The buyer of new automobile sees
to it, for the most part, that his car is
oiled and creased regularly, realizing
that in order to keep new car new 1t
must have systematic fabrication.
'The owner of a new car usually is
careful in handling his possession. The
average purchaser of used car, on the
treatment of the vehicle which may
have potential $4,000 or $4,000 miles
of service remaining in it.
1.-THE point is that too many motor
lists in buying used cars not only de-
mand new-car performance, but they
demand it without being willing to &C
cord the automobile new-car treatment.
These owners are following an uneco-
nomical course.
Those who go into the used-car
market, buy machine with the same
care that they would devote to pur-
chasing a new one, and then service 1t
on the same basis, are getting their
moneys worth to greater extent today

buyers.
It may be that the owner has become
so used to the old car that he does not

is not always probable that he viii OBJ
tain very much in trading it In when
buying q new car; at any rate, 1t Is
becoming more and more customary to

car on hand to be used in bad weather
and for rough service, the life OF the
new car may be prolonged.
Another solution might be presented
to the person who is in possession Of
an old car which has received good care
and in its present condition Is Stin good
for a few years. BY having it thor

with new and having the cylinders re-

of q used car should carefully study
the many possibilities presented and act
accordingly.

REVIEWS OUTLOOK
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
Cram Advises Care in Opera
ton Based on Trend of
February Production.

Reviewing the trend of production
during February, the observer finds In
cTeaSing evidence that the automotive
tnduStry'S condition, as well as the con-
dition of nearly all business at present,
Is such that operations must be con-
Quoted carefully and with regard to the
fundamental economic laws of supply
and demand, as well as certain other
factors, according to B. H. Cram, presi-
dent of Grams Automotive Reports.
That is, the slightest tendency to-
ward reckleSsness in production, in
duced by a current satisfactory situa-
ton as regards sales and the inherent
desire of every manufacturer to in
crease business volume, may very easily
unbalance the industry, with results
more or less disastrous.
Conditions In February Outlined.
Many of the manufacturers opened
the month with marked increases in
daily schedules, although the majority
fixed no tentative Set-up for the month
and readily admitted that their output
would be regulated strictly In accord
ance with orders and sales. The heavier
schedules boosted the output total con-
siderably. The industry moved along
at this pace during the second week,
with no indications apparent that this
level was too high. AS figures on the
third weeks operations came in, how
occurring. The change was the fire.
quent reduction Of daily output sched-
uleS, with the announcement by one or
two companies who had hxed tentative
Set-upS for the month that these fig
ureS had been revised downward dras-
tically. The weeks total output was
noticeably below that Of each Of the
flrst two weeks.
And now that the industry has closed
the fourth week of February holding, for
the most part, to these generally lower
levels, it transpires that the accelerated
rate at which the month was opened
was hardly justified by demand. Such
level simply was not warranted by the
sales trend Of the moment, as manu-
facturers have learned, it is hoped, to
their advantage.
Halt in Activity Serves as Offset.
The relaxed activity of the last two
weeks, however, has served to set things
right again, and prospects for March
point to good gains in sales and pro-
duction. But February has disclosed
that eternal vigilance and care must
rule the manufacturers this year.
The truck division has not been af-
fected in this manner, simply because
it has maintained q more or less even
trend throughout the month. The final
week disclosed producers operating at
unchanged levels, although the rate at
which incoming orders were gaining in
dicated that heavier production must
come soon.
Increases have occurred in both con-
sumner and original equipment tire sales,
but the gains have not been suf1cient
to cause manufacturers to step up out
put yet. A policy Of caution still pre-
walls, but with the Spring upturn in the
consumer market expected soon heavier
production is near.

IOWA AS ROAD BUILDER.

Ten years ago nine-tenths of Iowa's
State highway system was composed of
unimproved dirt roads. Today four out
Of every five miles are surfaced and
when this years construction program
of 1000 miles of concrete pavement
is completed Iowa will have 3,200 miles
of hard surface roads.
From the standpoint Of the motorist
alone, and not considering lowered road
upkeep costs, this thousand miles Of
new pavements will pay for themselves
In 10 years.

TOURISTS AID ASKED

Motorists Are Urged to Help Re-

An effort to enlist motorists in q Ma
ton-Wlde campaign to reduce highway

In this connection the American Mo-
Corlst, official A. A. A. publication, says:
There still seems to be q difference
OF opinion regarding whether animals
think, but 1t is beyond question that
motorists do, and for this reason the
American Automobile Association has
Undertaken to enlist every driver in q
Nationwide campaign to reduce high
way casualties among animals, domestic
fowl and birds.
Thousands Of animals and birds are
victims Of the automobile annually
Many OF these fatalities are unavoid-
able. but undoubtedly the number can
pc greatly reduced II every notorist will
take 1t upon himself to exercise slightly
more than reasonable care when his
path Is obstructed by a dog, cat, rabbit
squirrel or chicken.

Endowment Needed

DR. MCPHERSON makes plea
- for larger endowments for the
society. He says:
Hundreds of millions of dollars
have been given to boards, founda-
lions, and colleges for scientific re-
search and facilities for education.
Part of this has gone to chemical
research and education but chiefly
to other fields, particularly to medi-
cine
TN all fields, however, chemists
have been aids and instruments.
Chemistry today is the necessary
handmaiden of all science and all
intelligent industry.
Chemical knowledge and activity
applied to the worlds work have
resulted in a vast amount of dis
covery and invention, the recording
of which has been until recently a
burden almost unprovided for in
gifts or grants.
1T has been carried chiefly by the
chemists themselves, who have given
to the limit of their time and their
resources. Their very success and
sacrifice are today their greatest
handicap.
ut is difficult to convince philan-
thropic boards and men that so
successful an organization of 49,
600 professional men, spending
$550,000 year for the advancement
of chemistry, has reached its limit"

which any nation ever has pro-
duced, and that if injustice is done
or cruel and oppressive measures
are perpetrated on the American
citizen of the United States by the
officials Of the government or by
individuals Or corporations, it is not
done with authority granted by the

therein.
The Constitution says that giving
aid and comfort to the enemies of

there is another form of treason
which is far worse. That is for the
officers of this government, who
have taken solemn oaths faithfully
to perform their sacred duties Of
Office which the people have in

betray that trust, to soil their sa-
cred honor, to bring disgrace on

But here a sound psychological truth
Is concealed. He Is the most. eager.

Nor is it bad thing for a loser

Whether or not this will bring me
bad luck I do not profess to know.
I will be able to tell better after

But, for better or worse, choose
to take my chances without any
such shoddy superstition. It is, at

Three Journals

A MONG the most important ac-
"a tivities of the American Chem
ical Society is the publication of its
journals. These make it possible
for chemists in all parts of the
United States to keep abreast of
what is going on in the research
laboratories of the world.
Statistics prepared by DIR. John E.
Teeple of New York, treasurer Of
the society, show that the society
will spend about $486, 900 during 1890
on its journals.
"a quarter of century ago.
President Mcpherson says, I'VE
printed single journal of 900 pages
containing approximately 100000
printed words. In 1890 we are
printing three journals containing,
after rigid editing, approximately
II 200, 900 printed words"
But in spite of this fact, DR.. Nc
Pherson says that it has not been
possible to keep up entirely with the
march of chemistry.
This has been due to the fact so
much progress has been made in
chemistry that it has been inpossi-
BILE to record all of it. even in SO am
bilious a publication program as
that followed by the society.
The society, DR.. Mcpherson con-
tinueS, would like to embark upon a
still greater publication program,
but can not afford to do so unless
public-spirited men of wealth un-
derwrite it.

Chemistry Is Adding More to
Worlds Wealth Than Is
ANY Other Instrument of
Progress.
TINE increasing importanee-of the
i role which chemistry is playing
in modern life can be judged from
the fact that the membership Of the
American Chemical Society has
risen from 3,079 to 1900 in the last
twenty-five years.
In 1905, the budget of the society
was about $4,000. Today it is more
than $55o.000 year.
The society, which is one of the
largest professional organizations in
the world, held its annual meeting
in Cincinnati Sept. 8 to II. Pro-
feSSor William MCPHERSON, famous
chemist and dean of. the Graduate
School of Ohio State university is

Chemistry and its application to
industry" says Professor Mcpherson,

worlds wealth and to the enjoy
me11t, comfort and usefulness of
mankind than any other instrument
Of progress.
It's advancement has been due
both to highly trained chemists and

Power Is Increased

XXTE expect about as much from
w machine-made morals as we
do from machine-made breakfast
foods.
The great illusionment Of. this
day and generation is that, by
some hook or crook, the individual
can pass the bulk of his woes and
worries to society and that no mat
ter how careless or Indifferent he
may be, society can be depended
upon to save him.
The average man looks upon ma
chimes and systems as having de-
creased his personal responsibility,
though he is we'll aware of the fact
that they have increased his power.
He reads with complacency that
automobiles killed $4,000 people in
this country last year, but If pedes-
TRANS were to make such a bloody
record, he would yell for a revolu-
ton.
BY some strange process of
reasoning, we regard stepping on
the gas, or standing at the mike,
not only privilege, but as a Ii
cense to do things that never were
done before.
Worse, still. we regard it as an
extenuating circumstance for loose
ness Of thought and looseness OF
action.

THE first impression is that this senatorial invest-

boomerang and help her, particularly since Chair

Waving all technicalities aside the averages per-

If the senatorial game laws do not permit this,
then they should be amended SO as to do so.
