AUTOS NO LONGER
BURN UP HIGHWAYS
Modern Roadways Now Built to
Withstand Heat of Pound
ing Tires.

Burning up the roads" is q phrase
that was coined back in the days when
horse hairs rather than gasoline fumes
were In the air. The modern traveller,
equipped with q powerful motor, would,
Of course, make the gallant Of other
days appear as though he were stand
ing still.
THE phrase burning up the roads,
was concocted as dippancy, which 1t
still Is. Strangely, however, O con-
tinouS now OF rapidly moving vehicles
over a stretch Of pavement creates con-
siderable heat, which Is noticeable after
q rainfall, when whirring tires soon dry
out the pavement surface.
AS for concrete, the paving material,
heat created by moving tires or by the
sun has no effect on its surface. Re-
Gently in Chicago special fire test Of
concrete masonry walls, made Of much
the same material as concrete roads,
was held to show city building officials
and builders the fire resistance of con-
crete. A flame Of 1900 degrees Faren-
heit was placed directly against the
concrete wall for three hours with very
little structural damage to the wall.
Nineteen hundred degrees Farenheit Is
almost the temperature Of q volcano.
What likelihood, then, Of motorists or
the sun Softening the surface Of con-
crete pavement?
Il has been pointed out that "a bad
road has three dimensions length,
breadth and depth. A good road has
only two-length and breadth" With
100000 automobiles soon to be on
the Nations highways, it is more i'm
portant than ever that the matter Of
depth be eliminated. Depth In this in
stance, Of course, refers to q hard,
smooth surface, only obtainable through
the application Of concrete.

DRIVER AND OPERATOR
CONVICTED IN COURT
Each Is Given Two-Year Sentence
on Charge Of Manslaughter
in Maryland.


BALTIMORE, October 1S.-Even
though he was not driving the cab at
the time, Baird M. Strawderman, opS<a-
tor Of q taxicab, was sentenced to two
years in the house Of correction together
with John Davidson, who was driving
the car, following their conviction of
manslaughter as the result of the death
Of O 62-year-old woman who was struck
by the taxi while crossing the street.
It was said to be the first case in
which a man who was not actually
driving an automobile at the time of q
fatal traflc accident was sentenced on q
manslaughter charge in connection with
the fatality.
Strawderman was sitting in front with
Davidson, who was driving the cab,
although he had no Maryland license
to operate q car.
In sentencing the men Judge Stanton
told them they should have known
that pedestrians who had already start
ed to cross an intersection when an
automobile trafic light turned green
have perfect right to continue across
the street, and he added that the motor
list should know that such pedestrians
could not travel as fast as an auto
mobile.
Despite the fact that their automobile
crossed the street when the light showed
green for it to proceed, to satisfy the
province Of the law the car must be
completely under control at all inter-
sections, the judge declared.

HALF OF ROAD FUNDS
GOES TO WORKMEN
Chief Of Iowa Highway Commits
sion Cites Unemploy-
ment Aids.

How much Of the highway dollar
goes TO labor2
According to the calculations Of Fred
r. White. chief engineer Of the Iowa
Highway Commission, more than half
Of the money spent on hard-surfaced
road building goes directly to workmen.
During the last few weeks there has
been considerable talk about the relief
OF the unemployment situation through
extended bodybuilding activities. The
Federal Government has speeded up
the allotment Of Federal aid funds.
making some 1922. 1000, 900 Immediately
available. But as yet only few States
have made definite attempts to Coop
crate and stin fewer have broadened
road activities.
Road building as an outlet for un-
employed men Is not idle talk, nor is
1t theory. Considering the average paw
ing job, q force Of from 40 to so men
is needed, depending on the locality,
for each paving outfit. In addition,
considerable labor Is needed for grading
and bridge building. For laying q mile
OF pavement these men, together with
the men who make the cement, handle
the aggregate, make the reinforcing
steel, do the freight handling, receive
52.34 per cent of the cost Of the pave.

employed In making road machinery,
labor actually receives considerably
From this It Is readily seen that
pavement building benefits workmen
far afield from roads. It so happens
that this country, with little more than
100 900 miles Of roads, hard-surfaced
to the point Of lowest car operating
costs and lowest upkeep costs, Is greatly
In need OF more pavements. Economists
agree that whatever suffering Is oc-
curing to communities is not that Of
lack OF resources or Of money, but
rather the lack OF consumpttve power
on the part Of workmen. Because Of
the dire need for pavements communi-
ties can both re-establish effective dis
tribution Of currency and equip them.

cilities.
Taking into consideration the actual
cash value Of hard-surfaced pavements,
which save from / to 2k cents o

stable surfaces, and the lessened upkeep
business for communities to expand
their pavement building as an economy
measure as well as social.
The outlay required for needed pave
ments, both city and rural, is frequent
ly more than current income. Num-
berless communities, realizing they can
build pavements that will long outlast
the bonds are adopting the bond issue
method. Current motor vehicle tax re-
turns easily pay the costs and no extra
taxation Is usually necessary.
The problem now Is to make money

In the Motor World
BY q. ADAMS HOWARD.

corpuscles Of the blood protect an
abrasion of the skin.
There is no better investment in
safety, economy and good will on
the part of the public than the
proper training Of motor truck
drivers and q continual StreSSing
by employers Of the Importance
Of preventing accidents through
care and courtesy on the road, &C
cording to G. A. Tilt, president in
the motor truck field Of the auto
mobile industry. In discussing
this subject Of safety, he adds
that economy and good will natu-
rally follow in no-accident driv-
ing.
at is not sufficient to en-
ploy skilled motor truck drivers,
although this is the first step in
securing safety" says Mr.. Tilt.
Motor truck owners must con-
stantly keep before their opera
tors the need of care and cour-
tesy, thereby making them safety
conscious at all times.
1.-THE wisdom of such q policy
Is demonstrated by the fact that
many large fleet owners find it
most advisable. They find they
are money ahead by keeping up a
steady safety campaign among
their operators. They find, too,
that there is no better builder of
good will than safe driving. Their
experience may well serve as an
object lesson to other owners.
Safety consciousness among
drivers may be created and main
tanned in several ways. One is to
cooperate in inter-fleet contests.
Another is for the individual own
er to offer suitable rewards to
those drivers making the best rec
ord on a monthly or quarterly
basis. I know Of one large owner
who employs an interesting plan
which is excellent because Of its
fairness. Instead Of blaming or
condemning its drivers for every
accident in which they are in
volved, it holds a sort Of court
hearing at regular intervals and
the driver is judged in each in
stance on the basis Of the facts
in the case.
Most motor truck operators are
good drivers. Records show that
only Is per cent Of the driving
may be termed bad. This is bet-
ter than paSSenger-car drivers
can show. It Is much better than
the average among truck opera
tors few years ago. Much prog
reSS has been made, but I believe
it will be found that leading mo-
tor truck users count on further
improvement"
