Protests Received.
The recent prediction of safe
road speeds of 100 miles an hour
made by two members of the So
ciety of Automotive Engineers has
brought forth a storm of protest
from safety councils and road eX-
perts. Such speeds, they say, will
be highly dangerous, resulting in
greater toll of lives, and, in gen.
eral, will be detrimental to the
automotive industry. In spite of
these objections, automotive road
experts and designers are prepar-
ing the way for such speeds which
they believe surely will be COM
mon in less than a decade, with
greater safety and less loss of life
than present records show. These
experts give several reasons why
they believe this will be the case ::
Finely constructed superhighwayS
with marginal roads and proper
turn-ins, a more unified system
Of main arteries, better educated
drivers, increased engine power,
greater acceleration, better brakes,
better weight distribution, lower
centers OF gravity, improved forms
Of spring and body suspension,
lower stream-line bodies, better
road vision and a highly efficient
system of signals and controls.
At one time dire results were pre-
dictcd for speeds in excess Of Is
miles an hour on the railroad.
Also automobiles and aircraft
were given equally disastrous po-
tentialities. We laugh now, say
they, at an old eight-mil hour
law. So will our children at the
speed discussions of today.

MUNClE CUTS CORNERS

In Muncie, Ind, the local govern
ment is In the midst of q program Of
public improvement which may well
provide an example to many other
cities, large or small.
Fifty protruding street corners, orig
inally laid out to 4-foot or 6-foot radius,
are being cut back to q radius Of Is feet
or 80 feet, which win greatly increase
the traffic capacity of corners, relieving
congestion at these points. The cost
of the work is small, considerably less
than during busy seasons, for labor and
material items are materially reduced.

Stability Relationship.


Importance of the automobile
to the industrial stability of the
United States was emphasized in
"A bulletin released by the Ameri-
can Research Foundation, show
ing that the automobile industry
is the largest consumer of at least
six important commodities.
Not only Is the automobile in
duStry the largest consumer of
six basic commodities, but in four
of these commodities it consumes
more than half the annual pro-
duction," the bulletin pointed out.
Automobiles consume IS per cent
of all the gasoline produced in the
United States, 1926 per cent of all
the rubber, 68.7 per cent of all the
plate glass, So per cent of all the
malleable iron, 80 per cent of all
the nickel and % per cent of all
the lead--and even in the case of
nickel and lead, no other single
industry consumes so much.
Although it may not be sur
prising to know that the great oil
and refining companies are large
ly dependent upon automobiles for
the tremendous success which they
have achieved in the past decade,
1t may not be generally realized
that automobiles actually con-
sumed 14,130, 000, 900 gallons of the
1858, 520,000 gallons of gasoline
produced last year in the United
States. Neither is it generally
known that 495 900 900 gallons Of
lubricating oil were used last year
to keep American automobiles in
proper operating condition.
Extensive Research Work.
"In view of these statistics. 1t is
not surprising that the big oil
companies have conducted extern
Sive research work in order to ad-
wise motorists on the correct use
Of gasoline and lubricating oil,
recommending that in the average
new car a change to a heavier oil
should be made after 5000 to 1000
miles of operation and a change
to a still heavier oil after $4,000
to 10000 miles. Promoting econo-
my of operation and longer life
for automobiles Is economically
important to the oil companies
themselves.
THE same is true to a similar
degree of the rubber industry. for
automobiles last year consumed
307, 790 long tons of rubber out of
total production Of S72,627 long
tons"

present, he added, organized contractors
could not raise funds to investigate the
standing of concerns Offering bids on
their projects. This often means, he
said, that contracts go to plants fur
nishing bricks or lumber which are
obsolete and unable to produce the ma
terials in the time limits necessarily
set.
Despite this agitation, however Sena-
tor Walsh, Democrat, Montana, be-
lieves Congress at its next session will
not repeal the antitrust laws as a
means of reviving business.
He said yesterday some provisions
for regulation of prices must accompany
any repeal of the anti-monopoly act.
President Hoover himself is not en-
tirely satisfied with the present anti
trust laws. In his last public utterance
on the subject, contained in a message
to Congress, he said:
II recommend that the Congress in
stitute an inquiry into some aspects of
the economic working of these laws.
do not favor repeal of the Sherman
act. The prevention of monopolies Is
Of most vital public Importance.
Competition is not only the basis of
protection to the consumer, but Is the
incentive to progress.
ACCESSIBILITY Of Inquiry.
However, the Interpretation Of these
laws by the courts, the changes in bust
ness, especially in the economic effects
upon those enterprises closely related to
the use of natural resources of the
country, make such an inquiry adj
visable.

 No price changes have been made since last weekend. The Phillips Petroleum company, the only one to meet the demanded price, is paying $1 a. barrel for oil in Oklahoma and Kansas fields. The maximum in Texas is 73 cents.

The special town meeting which took place last evening was attend ed by the usual 100 voters. The question which was before the meeting was to decide on where the money for dirt roads. donated by the state, should be applied. Also the manner of using 1t was discussed. At the suggestion of Commissioner Macdonld. The dirt roads are being cared for by local labor under supervision of the se- lectmen. Since there are so many men out of work 1t was thought that this plan would be ideal Roads mentioned for work were Buckingham street, Oakville, Northfield road, Middlebury road and when mentioning dirt roads one should not forget the old road to Litchfeld.i The only part fit tc ride over is the part owned by Nor. ris.

 Plan for Inspection
 The fire commissioners will meet lFriday at 7:30 p. m. in the coun- ell chamber to complete arrange ments for the annual inspection of the Bristol fire department in september. It is expected that a definite date for the inspection will be set upon the recommenda- ton of Fire Chief John H. Hayes. The program of inspection calls for a visit to all the firehouses in the city by the commissioners and Mayor Crumb. The men at the central house on Meadow street will be put through a series of drills, following which Q baseball game will be staged.

At that time. it may seem advisable to change its location nearer Park street school. 50 that the children can come for the milk during their noon hour.
