WILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1924 TRAINED MEN BUILD ROADS Highways No Longer Bullt by Rule of Thumb fn the early days of road building, any contractor who could spread stone and roll it was good enough to "engineer" the road to be built, states the !\ational Highways association bulleti n. Today all organizations engaged in road bui lding are looking for the trained road engineers, and when there are not mough to go round, sending their own men to college for better training in highway building. ln 1919 the University of Michigan which has departments of Highway En~ gilleering and Highway Transport (P rofessor Arthur B. Blanchard) offl>red graduate short period courses in highway engineering and highway transport, .leading to the degree of Mast~r ?f S~1ence or Master of Science in J·.ngmeenng, . arranged especially for mer~ eng.aged m the practice of highway ~ngmeenng and highway transport. In 1919·20 the attendance was 29 · ,,·hile in 1922-23, 110 men attended thes~ courses, the average age of the men being 27 years, ranging· from 23 to 56 years. These men came from the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads state county and municipal highwa; dep~rtments' contractors'. organizations, companie~ manu.factunng motor trucks 1 highway machmery, and materials, universities, and _from the field of highway transport. Dunng 1923-24, 18 graduate short period .courses wi!l be offered, 10 in the field hrghway engmeering and 8 in high\\:ay transport. These courses will be g1ven by a staff of 8 professors and 10 non-resident lecturers. The road building world is looking to the engineer, the trained man the technician, for light on how to 'build b~tter, less expensive, more permanent h1ghways. It is generally recognized now that the day of the rule-of-thumb ht?ilder is gone, and that only the en&'l!leer, proficient in the art and familiar mth the best practice, is the economical spender of the taxpayer's money! ~NT are very frequently asked by the average automobile owner. L' nfortunatety, there is no positive ~r .de~nite answer to either. In fact, It 1 s 1mposs1ble to truthfully say just how long the finish of an automobile ~ody will last, because its durability IS wholly and entirely dependent upon a number of factors, all of which are controlled by separate individuals. Fi~st, there is the quality of the varmsh and other finishing material s use~. Then tbere is the correct applicatiOn of the various coats of finish ing materials, and last, and probably the most important of all,' is the care of the finish for which the automobile owner himse1f is responsible. Most of the grief and disappoint ment in the failure of automobile ~nishes to ret.ain their lustrous beauty IS caused by 1mproper care or lack of care ' entirely. Read over the follow ing "don'ts" and put them into practice. Your doing so may greatly lengthen the life of the finish on your car. DON'T allow your car to stand out in the hot sun any more than is necessary. Park in the shade, if possible, and, when at home, run it into tTie garave instead of letting it stand along the curb. The sun not only damages the finish, but melts th~ grease cups, allowing it to run out 0\cr the finished parts. DO.:-J 'T expose your car to rain or severc weather conditions any oftener than necessary. DO~'T slam the doors. The sudden jar has a tendency to cause the finish around the doors to crack and check. Keep your hand on the door until the lock fastens. DON'T drive through shrubbery or weeds or close enough to trees to allow their limbs to rub the finish. All of these are sure to cause fine scratches. . DON 'T allow mud to dry hard on the finish. DON'T use or permit the use of wax, polish, or renovators on your car. DON'T neglect to have your car repainted just as soon as it needs it. The serv ices of the automobile painter are just as important to the proper upkeep of your .car as ~re those of the GABRJEL SNUBBERS JN Of outstanding importance is the fact that the new Chrysler Six, an embodiment of the finest engineering qua(jties, should be placed upon the market fully equipped with Gabriel nuuuo::rs.
