WASHINGTON. Feb. a.
A revolution in reverse" is
needed for these United Stotes
in the next few years as the
country's normal evolution Of
transportation is thrown out Of
gear by the war enrichment
Of new passenger automobile
production and the restricted
use Of automobiles olreody
built and in service.
Up to now, major attention
to the stoppoee Of new cor
production has been focused
on the immediate effects-the
temporary unemployment Of
the auto workers as the motor
cor plants ore converted to war
production, the present diff
Guilty in getting new tires or
getting the old ones retreoded.
Those problems ore only the
beginning. Ahead lie circum-
stances which amount to q
complete change in the pot
tern of American life. q sus-
pension in time Of the QUITO
mobile oee."
TEN MAJOR CHANGES
|. In the next few months.
the country will begin to reol-
ize fully the degree to which
the passenger cor has become
an economic necessity instead
Of q luxury.
Z. The success of the war
production program will be
found dependent on true k
transportation to q d eyre e
greater than anyone had real
lied.
3. Key to the whole prob
lem Of auto, bus and truck
transport will be the rubber
situation.
4. Ro ! roods, interurbons
and street cor systems will be
found inadequate to core for
the increased troffic burdens
if automobile transportation is
drosticoIIy curtoiled..
s. The automobile business
with its tens Of thousands Of
dealers and solesmen and sev-
ice stations will be entirely
changed.
6. Along with the auto bust
ness proper, q vast chain Of
supplementary businesses such
as tourist resorts, roadside tov-
ems, travel agencies, stores Of
oil kinds, delivery and service
systems will find it necessary
to reoreonize their normal op-
erotions.
7. Farming and farm mar
ketina methods will be effect
ed.
8. Federal and stote road
building programs and city
street improvement programs
will be shifted to give ereoter
attention to war transportation
needs.
9. Real estote values may
be upset by reduced demond
for suburban residence and su-
burbon shopping centers and
greater demand for urb q n
dwelling in closely concentrate
ed work and residence areas.
10. Federal and stote tax
rotes will be altered to provide
revenues which reduced in
come from normal automobile
Ievies will yield.
Other for-reoching effects
might be listed but these 10
will give q fairly comPrehen-
sive picture Of how the whole
social pattern Of American life
may be reformed.
Before taking up some OF
these minor revolutions in
more detail, it might be we'll
to take q quick look at what

Would you say they were just

She nodded. adding, And
dressed IN dark. too. They looked
almost dirty. But they were not.
They were fixing the street. there

gravel. There was a long plank
on barrels across the street. and
these kerosene flares. Well. the
shooting started and was 50

What of the two men who

we never saw them any more.
Not a sign / think the shooting

Hunter took her home. and went
back uptown. He took taxi to
the hospital and was allowed to
visit Junior a moment. The boy
grinned at him wanly. He was
still too weak To talk. AS he went
out on the street, Red came up
in her car. She was the very per-
son Hunter wanted TO see. though
he just then thought Of it. He
got in with her.
Did you go my bail, Red ?" he
demanded.
IF you must know. and I sup
pose you must, II was Hank Tenn

Red. I've been over that ground
down there. and I have a theory.
Junior was in that crazy stick
up. all right. He was the young
man in tails who started it on a
bet. But the parties who changed
the joke into a tragedy were not
fooling. They saw a chance to
pick up seventeen thousand bucks.
And those two were on the inside,
too. They are your friends. That
is, part Of the crowd that makes
up your sporting circle of pals.
They wanted seventeen grand bad
