"The idea thnt trucks destroy roads is it hangover from the war period trhen they were actually destrowed, fnr two very good rensons: first, be muse the heavier motor trucks then ..i.-ni.- miu' u-er Biiddenly releiiHi-d on roads which had not been huiil to accommodate them; and sec ond, because nt that very time the expenditure of money for highway t::iiihtenaniB was declared to be non essential to the winning of the war ami was discouraged. 'The minis we are now building are built tn accommodate the traffic thev Mill lie called upon to carry, as de termined by detailed survey". And they are maintained. They wear nut Jimt as locomotives and motor trucks r ear cut: but they are not destroyed. Secretary Jaidine also pointed out that the Hume was true of automobile traffic nnd that roaila must he built to carry the vehicles and that the ve hicles shall not overburden the road. fl'l.

This suggPHtion comes from an of fer of the U. S. Department of Com- ; mprce to hdp Hip t rp manufacturers simplify their production methods. A purvey of the tire producers ' hhnws- that prai-tii-ally all favor such f:mplification. Itut they lay the blame for the great variety of the I .- ,f on the automobile manufacturers I who design cars without regarrl to the s:zea of tires already in produc tion. liefore the use of balloon tires, the manufacturers succeeded in limiting the dumber of sizes of their tires to about a dozen. ; This brought a con siderable reduction in overhead and waste, which ultimately was brought d wn to the benefit of the consumer. Hut the advent of balloons again rained the variety of tire sizes to about 30. Now the Department of Commerce and tho tire makers ore pinning to got together on n plan to standardize all tires and feduce thfir sizes to about five or six. In view of the rising cost of raw rubber, it is believed this is the only tributlon that ara facing the mann-1 facturer today, Mr. Jewvtt revealed that these were becoming even more ; important to an automobile maker to-1 day than the manufacturing end. "Automobile production uaa become, fairly well standardized. '! he said.' Tbe efficiency and lower costs of ( progressive assembly have made this: method the one to be generally em- j ployed. It has brought down the : prices to the point where the puhPc ! can now as easily afford an enclosed type ear as the touring car of former days. ; "That we might meet the dosed car market situation, we scrapped n $100.04)0 enameling plant for one in which production was trebled ond' costs lowered 33 1-3 per cent. - j "It has taken courage, good jtidg- j ment and the casting asids of ordinary ' conventional business management to , keep pace with the Increased de- mand, to keep forcing an increased , demand by lowering; costs to put need- j ed transportation into the hands of everyone. j "In the past, 75 per cent of the i ldministrrttive brains of an automobile j plant have been put into the man-; i-facturingr cud. Today the wise ones j are dividing the. brains between the sales and manufacturing. "There have been approximately ") makes of automobiles placed on the market. At the New York ahov in 1023 there were 113 exhibitors; in 101'.'). 61 exhibitors, and next year, I predict that there will be between 40 and 45. The weak and inefficient are going by the wayside.
