Naturally, all the women stars are showing great anxiety to get into the new talking pictures. A Texan claims to have invented a telephone that will answer and tell you so when the person you are call~ ing is out. Now for someone to inâ€" vent a telephone that will answer and kflmn'knthmy-m calling is in! After all that has been said about it these past months, we wonder how many people really understand what the equalization fee is all about. ranged from 33 to 42 cents per pound This is explained, it is pointed out by Si. Mayer, president of The Auâ€" tomobile Club of Illincis and vice president of the A. M. A., because of the wide fluctuation in crude rubber prices in 1925. During that year the price fluctuated from 40 cents per pound to $1.21, which was passed on Comparing the motorists‘ 1927 tire bill with 1925, the figures show a reâ€" duction of 6 per cent in wholesale cost, despite an increase of nearly nine million automobiles in the counâ€" try during the two year period. The average wholesale cost of high ; pressure casings during last year | was 9.99 each, compared with 39.95] wholesale cost for balloon casings. | The average wholesale cost of innet | tubes was $1.19 each in 1927 comparâ€"| ed with $1.53 each in 1925, tbe’:{::v‘ clation‘s computations show. Castings Produced The manufacturers during | last year produced 63,549,949 outer casâ€" ings and of this number 60,738,791, or 2.62 casings per registered autoâ€" mobile, were used by the motorists of this country. A total of 69,072,967 inner tubes were sold in the United States during 1927â€"an average of 2.98 per registered vehicle, the assoâ€" ciation‘s figures show. l Each motorist in the United States during 1927 used 2.62 automobile casings and 2.98 automobile tubes on his automobile, according to figures compiled by the American Motorists asosciation, in a joint survey with The Automobile Club of Mlincis, based upon tire and tube production figures furnished the Department of Commerce by the manufacturers. Each Motorist in Country Is Credited With Utilizing More Than Two and Half of Each Annually TIRE CASINGS AND TUBES USED N U. S. "No community can long survive without adequate roads; they are the arteries through which flow the lifeâ€" blood of socialâ€"intercourse and comâ€" merce. Adequate roads in congested areas are not 20â€"foot roads; adequate roads are 40â€"foot roads." AVERAGE PER CAPITA BIG Bring Prosperity "Roads â€" have brought prosperity and happiness into districts that were completely isolated before the days of motor travel. Beauty spots, formerly inaccessible and therefore unknown, â€" have become â€" pleasant places of abode. "Good roads are more than a means of pleasure to the city man. To be sure, hundreds _of families drive into the country on holidays and vacations, just for the pleasure and recreation, but it is also true that hundreds of tons of merchandise are transported on trucks,; thousands of salesmen are traveling from place to place in their own cars, and resiâ€" dents of all regions travel extensiveâ€" ly in motor busses. Motor travel,is on the increase with the advent of better roads and sturdier cars. "The farmer needs the roads to transport his crops, get into town to transact business, receive his mail promptly and regularly, in order that the children can get to school, and that residents of the city can get out into his part ofâ€"the country and buy what he has to sell. The great numâ€" bers of roadside stands, laden with honey, fresh eggs, vegetables, fruit and flowers; and the great number of private homes renting rooms to tourists, all attest the value of city visitors and cross country travelers to the country. "The old controversey as to who has the greater need for good roads, the city dweller or the man in the rural districts, should be laid away in lavender," says Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club, and chairman of the National Wider Roads committee of the American Automobile association, in a recent statement, in which he points out that adequate roads are now a uniâ€" versal need.

The club directors condemned that phase of a driver‘s license bill, pointing out that an examination to be adequate to disclose physical or mentai infirmities should consume at least fort} minutes. "An examination taking less time would be of little bile accident case involving the quesâ€" tion of personal injury or of property damage." The driver‘s license bill proposed by the club is to contain no provision for the mental andâ€"physical examâ€" ination of drivers such a» pronsaad Massachusetts; the experiment in that state has proved, first, that insurance costs increase, and secondly, that acâ€" cidents increase, under such a plan. The average increase in accidents of all kinds has been thirtyâ€"five per cent. As a safety measure ‘compulsory inâ€" surance‘ is a dismal failure. "Compulsory insurance," explained H. club, In addition to the licensing phase of the bill, it was decided to present a rider to the bill protecting the pubâ€" Automobile accidents in llinois can be sharply reduced if a driver‘s licâ€" ense bill with teeth is enacted into law at the forthcoming session of the legrislature, according to the members of the board of directors of the Chiâ€" cago Motor club, who at a special meeting at the Paimer House, inâ€" structed the legislative department of the club to prepare such a bill for introduction at the next session of the general assembly in January. lic The nation is willing to stand by the interpretation given to the pact by the President and Secretary of State Kellogg but it is not willing and it never will be willing to see this nation rendered less secure beâ€" cause of the new treaty or any other. Europe and the American pacifists might just as well realize this fact at this timeâ€"for it is the fact, deâ€" clares the Cincinnati Enguirer. Motor Club Directors at Meetâ€" ing in Chicago Favor Such Measure as Safety Factor in State wWANTS ONE WITH "TEETH‘ URGE LICENSE LAW FOR AUTO DRIVERS And it would be just that. And just that is what wellâ€"meaning paciâ€" fists are urging! Individuals of this character and habit of thought are as potent actual enemies of this country as the rabid reds of Russia, or the communists or anarchists of any of the envying lands of Europe. In Name of Peace In the name of world peace every country on earth and a good part of the citizenship of this country is tryâ€" ing to take something additional away from the defensive establish~ ment of the United States. Need Them Ail Representative Britten points out that when all the modern cruisers just built or being built are launchâ€" ed, the United States will have 18 totaling 196,000 tons, against Japan‘s 33 cruisers totaling 206,000 tons, and Britain‘s 63 cruisers totaling 385,000 tons. And he correctly avers that for the United States to abandon its present construction program out of sentimental consideration for the peace pact would be national suicide. The warning is timely. Although the President has assured the counâ€" try that the treaty could not affect this program, pacifists of every charâ€" acter and degree are contending that the treaty justifies this country‘s reâ€" nouncing the building of any fnore cruisers, though England has comâ€" pleted or is now building fourteen 10â€"000â€"ton cruisers, all with a speed of over 29 knots, and Japan since 1919 has laid down six cruisers of this tonnage and capacity doing betâ€" ter than 31 knots. man of the House Naval committee, issues the warning that neither Euâ€" rope nor the United States should be deluded into believing that the Kelloggâ€"Briand treaty means curtailâ€" ment of the American naval buildâ€" KELLOGG TREATY NOT ‘â€" TO RESTRICT NAVY MUST HAVE MORE SHIPS Representative Fred Britten, chairâ€" Essential If U. 8.
