Duaffy The slight hesitation in the spread of automobile ownership. during the last two years should not be taken as a sign. that the saturation point of either automobiles or, roads is here. Automotive. and highway, authorities almost without exception are, of the opinion. that. within the ncxt ten, years the présent, registration, of 26,000,000 cars will be swelled by sev- éral millions. Despite the diop in car sales in 1931 more miles were traveled than ever before. That ýroad building must go on at fuIl speed is the. message -written in present highway us age and needs, in existing records of road maintenance whicJî show that too much is being spent. to keep poor roads tra:velable, in automnible accidents which continue to increase. The Unitcd States will have by this fal 10Q,000 muiles of concrete1 pave- nient which is held to, be at least 100,000 miles shy of the mîlage nceded from the standpoint of economy in roaci upkeep and in car operation. Three-fourths2 of the niation's tra- vel over rural roads is carried on the state highway systems which tot.al 324,500 miles. 0f this, 225,000 miles hýlave been 'surfaced*but.even mnany of> these surfaces.are of an inferior, ýun- econoèmical nature. Many cost from $150 to $900 more ýper 'mile peryear to miaintain than Iligh type pavemient. The Federal Aid systems of nearly 200,000 tmiles, .largely çoincidental with the state systemis, and carrying haîf of ail rural trafifc, is stili far from complete. It- is impossible to grasp the mnag- niitude of motor usage., Pleasure-bent motorists, will this year spend sorte three billion dollars iii traveling no one knows how faror where.,Tiwentyý million head of ivestock will ride. to market in motor trucks. The bus tra- vel in tfis one country will be in thc lieighborhood 'of two billiôn ipassen- gers, almost as many peopfle.as there are-on eartlh. Any sort of a moratorium in high- .way construcion would be ill-timied and in violation of economiè laws which possibly can be frustratcd but 0wvnership of automobiles by ýcity people W'11 increase w ith, the coming of better street surfaces and othei motor facilities,. is the: opinion of John* A.' Mass en, Chicago alderman, who.recently reported on bis three- year traffic survey. He said: "Hard roads made possible the automobile and its millions in animal revenue. If City routes cati bc given a reason- able proportion of the efficiency pos- sessed by the ordinary rural high- ways anew, era i urban automolie use will be 'introduced and thus, the investment will: be directly reproduc- tive." Pennisylvaniia's. road d ollars will,1 continue tolbe usged, for roads onl1Y. A-fter a state-wvide storn of protest againist the appropriation of- road funds. for unieniploymcnt relief, a gen- eral sales tax of one percent apply- ing to nearly ail comnodities was re- cently- adopted by the législature, This wvas donc ini préférence~ to di- verting $12,000,000 f romn motorist-con- tribuited road funds.

TUESDAY "SAFEST" DAY. Nation-wide traffié accident statis- tics reveal that fewer accidents hap- pen on, Tuesday than any other day of the> week, and that the safest. hour of the twenty-four. is between 4 and 5a. m., points out the Chicago 11o- tor club. >The average Anierican. motor ve'- hicle last year was fltted with two new tires, according ý to the Chicago Motor club. Tire shipments for the nation's 25,814,103 vehicles aggregated 50,270,- 1 36, and new inner. tubes produced total 50,021,469. Nearly 93 percent, or a greater pro- portion than ever~ before, of ail cars nianufactured in the United States last year wvere of the "closed" v.ariety.

This infor- mation was given by Fielding Yost, Michi-an athletic .drcoand Kipke, coach of the Wolverines, both of whom were on the s .taff ofi- structors at Northwestern's coach- ingc school, which'.came to a cloiie'at Evanston, August '27. Mr. Yost stated that ,the: advance, sale of tickets for theNorthwestern- Michigan- game practically assures a sellout for the contest., The game ranks as one of the outstanding-mid- dlewestern .cl.ashesof tb.e year.; Coaches Hanley and Kipke did not let the prospect,.of the forthcoming ga.me interfere with their enjoying numerous rounds of golf on. north shore courses during Kipke's sojourn here. The pair played each after- noon, and since both rank amop g the, best golfers in.the coacbing pro-, fession, the rivalry was keen.
