Atito Association Petitions For Increase of Federal Aid Would Raise Government Fund For Road Building From -$75,000 to $125,000,000 WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 With t that rural mail routes are now in 23 per cent of the country's motor natelyl70 new((ats aadftai registered in 1928 for every mile of highway constructed under jthe federal-aid system and 33 for every mile of road surfaced, the government can render no greater aid to the farmer than by speeding up' road building, the American Automobile.. Association declared in a petition to congress. With 'congress reconvening for the balanc eof its special session, the A.. A. A. renewed its demand that the annual federal-aid appro priation be. Increased from $75, 000.000'iQ $123,000,000. . ' ThV estimate of the A. A. . A. its. based: on an increase in motor yreblcles registrations of 1,35.9,83 In lSZSv-with approximately 8,000 See. of. highway built with fed latdnd 26,000 miles sur faced throughout the country. The progress already made. In highway building has done much to improve the standards of farm Thomas P. Henry, president K4 A. A., declared, adding IVuaiafB pro TTea yxi tiuflits "At the close were 24,493,124 of 1928, there motor vehicles registered in the United States, of which 6,426,900 were on farms. Mr. Henry said. "Texas led -the list- with $62,600 farm-owned motor Vehicles, while Ohio, Illin ois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York, Minnesota and Missouri trailed In the order named. "The need for improved roads to serve the farmer Is seen by the fact that at the outset ot 1928 there were 43 pr cent ot the farms located on unimproved dirt roads and 31 per cent on Improved dirt roads. Only , a small percent age were on gravel or surfaced highways. In 1928 the nation's oad build ing' bill was JMOO.OOO.OOO. ot which the- federal government contributed only 175.000.000 Mr. Henry pointed out. There has-been. a total of 187.753 miles approved for construction on the fedefa.i- atd system, he added. ;- flFBtllTISIIC!

The car. which was a coach model, was driven by EL - A. Phillips, Los An geles depnty sheriff and. carried four passengers besides the driver. The entire Journey, Phillips re ported, disclosed the exceptional riding qualities of the Wiliys Knlght coach even-where the roada are deeply rutted. At one point in the Journey, a ten-mile stretch of mod road was en countered requiring nearly four hours to plow throashl it. Despite this jrruerline; test, the engine re sponded to every demand of the driver and brought the party through safely and comfortably. The driver reported that he was surprised at the low cost of oper- ting the Willys-Knight on the Jovrney. stating that the gasoline consumption was exceptionally low and that the oil was changed only? at the end of each 1200 miles and that no other oil was added In the Interim. High speed was main tained over the better sections of highway. Between Lyman, Kansas, and Denver on the return trip, the party ran into a severe rainstorm that lasted for hours and at one place the mad came up to the axles. After pushing through this bad stretch the party had to cut the mud from underneath the fenders and from the spokes of the wheels. Throughout the entire Journey, no mechanical trouble of even a minor nature developed and at the end of the trip the six cylinder Willys-Knight sleeve valve engine was 'functioning as smoothly as at thwatat.' 1 ' - mi n n LLiXEJ UUAUU ooocm ODfflO IPCDQOT i 1 1 '.
