Hayes, of Winnetka, President of the Chicago Motor Club, and ch<tirman of the National Wider Highways Committee of the American Automobile association. "Congestion is one of the greatest contributing causes to automobile accidents," say~ Mr. Hayes. "Narrow roads .can carry only two lanes of traffic. If there is a stop light where the road leads through a village, the flashing of the red light will back traffic up for miles on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. A slow-moving vehicle, whether it is a truck or someone 'breaking in' a new car, can hold up traffic for miles, causing great delay and irritation. "Anv driver wishing to pass another car must turn out into the path of vehicles coming from the opposite direction, and this is the cause of many seriou.; and fatal accidents. This is all dangerous, it is costly, it is neryeracking, f!_nd it is unnecessary. Incr~asing density of motor traffic is causing the COJ1SVUCtion of wider highways in all parts of the country. This is particularly true of main routes tapping metropolitan areas. Ex(lmples are the Bayshore Highway section being constructed by San ~rancisco within the city limits to a width of 125-feet with a 100-foot paved roadway: the Bayshore High way down the Peninsula with a 120foot right-of-way, now being graded to 60-feet width with a present paved portion of 40-feet; the recently . realigned section of the main coast route south from San Francico with an overall width of 80-feet, comisting of two 30-foot pavements with provision for 10-feet additional on each side; the 100-foot wide Great Highway in San Francisco, consisting of two 50foot sections; and the extension of Juniper Serra boulevard in the city at ·a 100-foot paved width. . ., The state of Michigan has an-avenue in Wayne county with a '204-foot righ~ of-wav for 16 miles between DetrOit and Pontiac.

Put a wrench on the bolts on the ends of the bumpers and on the support~ which hold the bumpers. And by tightening down both the bumper and bumperette bolts, all the rattles may disappear. · Squeaks are annoyipg. If you have a "canary," put a little oil on the door hinges. Put a little grease on the track of the ventilating windshield "spreader." Put a little oil on your bumper connections. In short, see that every place where metal touches metal and friction might produce a squeak, receives a little lubrication. Universal joints are suposed to be one-third full of universal joint lubricant. However, perhaps you have just gone on the theory that if on~-t~ird full is plenty, completely full ts JUSt three times as good-but it isn't.
