Good roads cerned. years. Best for the Farmer City people can scarcely realize the immense benefits that the farmer en- joys when he is able to bring heavy loads of produce into town with an automobile in an hour that might have taken him all day with a team of horses in the mud. Better markets naturally follow and better prices. And with the better profits that he is making he puts some money into a car for himself and family. It is no accident that almost every farmer in Illinois today has a car, and most of them good ones. Good roads are directly responsible. You and I can remember when a really good road, which is a common- place today in every rural section of Illinois, could be found only in the best Yet people are so awake now to the necessity of good roads for good business that 50,000 miles of new highway have been built in the United States within a year or It is in answer to the demand from that part of the population that used to know a road as the evolution of a cow sections of the large cities.

"The individual must be of good moral character," declares the council statement, "possessed of all his senses, understand his responsibility, have con- sideration for the rights of others and be able to act promptly. He should know that the car is in such condition that no accident will result from de- fective equipment. He should refuse to operate a car which has defective brakes for his own and others' safety; he should know by actual application of the brakes that they function prop- erly, so that, should the occasion arise to use them he can depend upon them to stop his car. "He should examine the car before starting to see that it is in good op- erating condition. He should know that the headlights are properly focused, tires properly inflated and the spare tire ready for service. "He should be sure to use skid chains when it starts to rain or snow, or when desirable for safety under other conditions, and should never speed or drive in a reckless manner. He should be careful to-day--to-mor- row may be too late to avoid an acci- dent, for accidents do not happen; they are caused. "At blind corners, where buildings or trees obstruct the view, he should reduce his speed, sound the horn and keep the car under perfect control. He should drive slowly and carefully when approaching children at play. "He should co-operate with the traf- fic officers to the fullest extent, for it is their intention to help. All traffic rules of the state, cities and boroughs through which the car is operated should be observed." Less Rules Better For Motoring Public--Expert Too many prohibitions are the chief cause of our traffic difficulties, in the opinion of C. C. Hanch, second vice- president of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, speaking be- fore the Kiwanis club at Indianapolis. "Our cities are placing the chief burden of traffic on our already over- worked police force, instead of .mak- ing studécsa Nf tf ngportation needs, nd planning traffic routings and im- cevements" on the basis of these 0 i rge city ~~ deds a traffic service. "The opening up of a few streets in many cities and the economic routing of commercial vehicle traffic will be helpful both to shipper and public. "Speed is a relative matter, depend- ing upon the time of day, the place and the conditions of road and weather. What we need most is not the clamping down of an arbitrary speed law, but the quick and safe dispatching of traffic at rates of speed suitable to the conditions. "We need more parking, not 'no parking. Facilities at cost should be provided for the all-day parker, and cvery one should be permitted to leave his machine at a given place long enough to attend to reasonable errands. Constructive rather than repressive programs should be the goal." QUICK TEST FOR TIRES A test for the durability of automo- bi'e tires which may be completed in- side of four days, yet which makes it possible to predict the comparative service which may be expected from different kinds of tires, has been de- vised by the Bureau of Standards in co-operation with the rubber manufac- 'urers. It is embodied in Federal specification No. 3A, which has been adopted within the last month by the IFederal Specifications Board. The principal feature of the test is the running of the tire under stand- ard conditions against the rim of a wheel provided with bumps. After a specified period the tire is examined for signs of failure. STUDENTS LIKE USED CAR According to a large second-hand car dealer in an Eastern city, college stu- dents form the best group of prospects in the country as buyers of used auto- mobiles. HINDERED LONDON TRAFFIC Among Londons greatest traffic prob- lems are the costermongers and peddlers who obstruct the narrow streets and ignore the pleading toots of automobile horns.
