Be Yourself
Sinclair Lewis is right; a lot of Americans do uot get
enough fun out' of life.
The young intellectuals challenge contemporary life and
thoiifrht because it is regimented and standardized. Daven
wirU ur put in front of fireplaces, not because the owners
. want them there, I Hit because other people have them
there. .Mr. Babbitt installs u cigar lighter in his car, not
because he "thinks he jtcU fun out of a harmlessly glitter
ing iiutoniobilo accessory, but because he thinks it gives
"class" to his machine. Doing things because other people
do them, or doing them in sincerity to impress other peo
ple is one good way of leading a dull life.
' Fun comes by being one's self. The exterior act should
reflect the one within. The davcnpoit is in its proper
place when it is where you want it as n being living your
own life, and not giving u fig for artificial mass standards
Oo'f is a good game if you play it because you like it.
Hut it is n poor pastime when you find it but another
way. of doing what other people do; Vou might rather
play marbles or hi-Keoteh, if marbles or hop-scotch liet
.iav rxHcajtcslyour fun instinct... ...... ;. ,". T .... ' ' .
I The remedy for much of which the young intellectuals
complain lies in questioning ourselves more jis to why we
do things. Nave our opinions come to us , ready-made from
cur parents or from our environment, or have we thought
things out for ourselves? Do we put cigar lighters on
our cars for convenience of cigar smokers or to acquire
n sham "class." . Why not do more things, think more
'things, feel more things, that are really our own? That's
rnc way to have fun.
Men want to make tilings and do things that reflect
themselves. They want to create, in the spirit of play,
things beautiful or odd or interesting. They get fun out
of life to the extent in which tha things they make or do
reflect what they really are. But as long as the chief
business of life lies in coming out better than our brothers
in the competitive struggle the brighter business of mak
ing life interesting nnd creative must wait. '

Our Highways
Counting mileage, the United Slates is not short of
roads. According to the federal bureau there is: a total
or 2,81i,nS0 miles of rural highways. Good, indifferent,
bad and worse are included !n this reckoning. Until the
arrival of the automobile and the insistence on improve
ment which its presence precipitated roads for the most
part were treated as of secondary consequence. It's dif
ferent now. A score of years covers the era of the zeiJ
for good roads. ,
Now there are lTS.OOO miles of gravel roads, 30,000
miles of various forms of asphalt, 27,000 miles of concrete,
1(.000 mile of brick or stone block and 100,000 miles of
macadam. Ijist year 40,000 miles of improved road was
constructed The 310,000 miles of paved or hard surfaced
highways is chiefly the product of the automobile era. .
.Had not the motor car been placed within the reach
of so many people no such vast program of road-building
would ever have been undertaken. Car ownership has em-
. braced the entire population so nearly that there are few
.o object lo road-huiMing programs. If there aie those
opposed to the huge expenditures for roads they are not
numerous enough to make their protests heard. In the
desire for good roads the flivver owner and the rider in
the highest priced car are of one accord. They want smooth,
hard highways, no matter what the cost .
The I'omans gained fame berausc of the roads they
built, and Napoleon did considerable in the same line, but
;he real road-building era is now and it's right here in
America. With 14 all, jiowever, we have o,nit' a distance
lo go before all the nearly 3,000,000 miles of roads will be
entitled to the appellation of "good roads."

This axle ia actually 34 per cent ,(

400 per cent more strength to resist
the up-and-down strains than an
1'beam of the same weight. Its re
sistance to horizontal or fore-and-aft
strains Is five times greater; iu
reaiMance to the twisting strains is
13d per cent higher. Exceptional
riding Is assured by the Chrysler

Anyone can buiU a powerful car by

the Chrysler gets 68 horse-power and

which gives better than 20 miles to
the gallon of gasoline. 1 j
Anyone can build a heavy car that

which can actually be driven in com
fort at 60 miles an hour over rutted .
roads or cobbled streets, is far from
being a heavy car.
