C, Xov, 14 The perfection of a national highway system embracing 50,000 miles of improved roads and -con necting all the states and jthe larger cities, preliminary steps to ward which were taken at a re cent conference of federal and state officials in Washington, will be one of the maters fully, dis cussed at the convention and. ma chinery exposition of the Ameri can Road Buiders' association to be; held In Chicago, January 11 to 15, next. The new national highway system is to be perfect rea by the government in con junction with the states through federal aid. The routes will -be marked and operated by the states. . On account of the great number of federal, state, county, town ship and city highway officials engineers, contractors and ma chinery and material men attend ing the convention. President W H. Connell of the American Road Bnilders' association, has divided , the program of the convention into two divisions, one especially attractive to engineers and high way officials, and the other to contractors and machinery and material manufacturers and deal ers. Frank Sheets, state high way engineer of Illinoisf and treasurer of the American associ ation of State Highway Officials, is in charge of the program for highway engineers and officials nd S. M. Williams, vice presi dent of the Autocar Sales and Service company, is in charge of the contractors program. Bearing out the contention of designing engineers in construct ing a car of maximum safety in air kinds of driving, hundreds of en thusiastic letters from new own ers of the Overland Six provide au thentic proof of the readability of this car in all parts of the coun try. Willys-Overland engineers, in designing the Overland Six, spared neither time nor expense in devel oping a perfectly balanced ctassis which, combined with the- nicely hune snrine sujcensicn, would provide no sidesway or driving fa tigue. To accomplish this, the chassis was divided into several parts, and the staying or bracing of these individual parts taken separately to secure perfect road poise.' Specially designed cross membjers at the .front of the chas sis rigidly stay the frame mem bers. These were so balanced that ail possible ensway was elim'nated in the forward end of the rhastis which, in connection with the heavy and channeled eng'ne pensions, provide a rigid for the chassis. Owners, in commenting on the fine road balance of the Overland Six, mention that the spring sus pension of the car provides ideal riding comfort. This wa saccom- plished by the use of special con structed chrome vanadium steel springs of the seml-elliptie type. 34 inches long in tront nd bi inches in the rear, providing a buoyancy because ,of the alloy's toughness. Extra heavy cross members in the rear complete the heavy bracing of the car, which, together with the unusual strength of the chassis frame members, pro vide an exceptionally sturdy and yet easy riding ,car. as "always, f ewett .has -far surpassed all expectations 5n tliis Wonder Sedah ; sns- bracing Onlyl680 For This Great Car And 1680 bar eempfc((y quippod cct Five balloon tire, disc wheel, bumper front and rear, rear-view mirror, combina tion atop and tail light, automatic .windshield wiper, heater, aah traya and arm reata. nickel plated radiator-and all the aenaational recent Jewett mechanical improvementa. rVoar towwrpritm tut all improved moSlm mm follow m: Comch 91245.
