A Nation-Wide Problem
'.. The big metropolis has little in common with the cross
roads village. When the same problem is encountered by
both large and small communities it is so greatly multi
plied in the city that the city problem loses its' relation
with the rural. '
The one possible exception is perhaps the traffic prob
lem. J The rapid increase in numbers of the automobile
has created a nation-wide traffic congestion which is hard
ly less serious, relatively, on rural highways than on the
busiest city thoroughfares. The limited road facilities in
the country and small towns are as heavily taxed by the
rush of traffic as are the broader city streets. Toward the
relieving of our national traffic congestion at least the
large-and small communities can work in unison and -mutual
helpfulness.
jfoney, study and cooperation are necessary to the so
lution of our new transportation problem. Money is re
quired to build new roads, more roads, better roads and
widef roads. The widening of streets in the cities and
townSj involves the condemnation and purchase of private
property before construction work can be undertaken. City
planners and road builders with foresight and the neces
sary money' a century or more ago would have solved our
problem before it arose. It is doubtful whether we have
the foresight and money to solve the traffic problem of
the future. The scientific study of traffic will aid much
111'" alleviating conditions. Parking restrictions, classil'ica
t'on yf traffic, police supervision and lonting are bringing
results in some places. Scientific study is also building
better roads for less money and taking better care of fu
ture demands.
Cooperation is most essential in the untangling of our
transportation rjam." Those who must cooperate are the
motorists, the pedestrians and the general ruiblic. The
motorists may have to surrender some of their parking
privileges, the pedestrians .must be reconciled to greater
caution in crossing busy streets.

. Progress Cannot Be Staged
Lord Sumner, a judge of the Rritish high court of jus
tice, Sn addressing the liritish Science Guild, declared that
"experience has shown that a greater part of the discov
eries; of applied scit'nee are purely evil." For examples, he
cited, the phonograph as "corrupting the musical sense of
the civilized worid," of the moving picture as "devoid of
valuo" and of the waste and inutility of the automobile,
j His lord's chief objection to the automobile is that he
secs.no advantage in scurrying along at twice or three
times the rate people so long found satisfactory with their
horses and stages.
Some such conservative as Iord Sumner probably bo
rated, the first horseback rider for traveling at a higher
speed than his pedestrian-fellows on the excuse that man
up to that time had always walked and that ho could not
conjecture why anyone should care to scurry along on a
horse. It is reasonable to suppose that there have been
Sumncriau conservatives as long as there have been men,
ho the first prehistoric man to ride a dinosaur and the first
owner of a wheel cart must have been pestered and an
noyed with somewhat similar objections.
With apologies to Messrs. Bryan and Darwin, we will
imagine the conservative quadruped apes on the tree tops
and the paleolithic rocks scolding the first of their mini-1
ler to walk on two legs. In our own day we frequently
hear men say the automobile is fast enough for men when
the subject of air transportation is raised in their presence.
If i-rfrd Sumner would visit America he would find the
phonograph bringing good music to homes where it had
never been, before, he would find moving picture theaters
ill every community giving the people an education in world
affairs and he could see class prejudices and provincial
barriers collapsing before the automobile. Our experience
with applied science has proven all of its discoveries boons
to niankind. ' ' ' f ;

A Score of Features to
Explain These Results
Among Chrysler Six features
which contribute to its long life
and operating economy, is the
centrifugal air cleaner which
purges the air taken in by the
carburetor. This cleaner effectu
ally protects the cylinders and
pistons from the entrance of fine,
gritty dust. Of equal importance
is the Chrysler oil filter, which
thoroughly cleans all the oil in
the crankcase every 25 miles, and
contributes much to smoothness,
freedom from carbon, and longer
life of rotating and moving parts.

Every one who has familiarized
himself with the new Chrysler
Six and its extraordinary perform,
ance is convinced that this car
turns the leaf of the automobile
calendar many years forward.
The engine design embodies a
new type of combustion chamber
that burns all the gas. Also a new
way of distributing the gas equally
to all cylinders. A score of other
features must be taken into ac
count to explain why an engine
only 3-inch bore by 434-inch
stroke delivers 68 horsepower, top
speed well over 70 miles an hour,
and a pick-up that is electrifying.
All these things you'll understand
better when you ride in the car.
You'll find, also, an amazing
amount of room, and an case of
handling and parking that is a
constant delight.
