WORD 10 SAY OF
CHIEF CROSS-COUNTRY HIGHWAYS OF UNITED STATES
Ilpninl of the popular impression
that motor whirl traffic is destroy
ing tho nation's roads was made ly
fiirrelarv of Ariculture W. M. Jar
rline in Lis roienl address liefore the
reient mid west trnnaportation con
ference at Chicago, who pointed out
Hint: .
"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.

and Highway Safety has written Into
its proposed uniform Mute, vehicle

control practices which might result
in damage to the highway. The sec
tion, which came up for consideration
bv the Hoover committee on uniform
ity of laws and regulations at Wash
ington on .lime 3, rends as follows:
"No tire on a vehicle moved on
a hipliwav ahull have on its periphery
nuy block, at ml. flange, cleat or spike
or any other protuberance of any ma
terial other than rubber which pro
jects beyond the tread of tlie traction

lull be pcrmii:liil'' to use lire chains
of reasonable proportions . when re
ip ired for aafety because of snow,
ice or other conditions tending1 to
cruse a vehicle to allele or skid."
Some critics have discouraged the
use of non-skid rha!ns by passenger
lines on the baals that tin chains In
jured the surfaco of the pavement,

Continued Increase
WASHINGTON, June t.U The
threat of higher tire prices made by
the restriliion of crude rubber ship
ments and the resultant reduction in
supply, may be nullified by standardi
j ration and reduction in the number of
tiro sizes now behig produced.
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. I-ifrger
production and fewer plants is indicated."
