‘UNDAY, AUGUST 19, 1923. WIDEN STREETS NOW FOR GREAT —-AUTOTRAVEL Small Cities Should Profit From Experience of Large Ones, President of A. A. A. Says in F FUTURE, ADIGE Discussing Great Moder Problem. “Widen and open up necessary arterial streets and ave-| nues to handle present and future motor vehicle traffic now,” is the recommendation dent of the American Automobile association. of Thomas P. Henry, presi- Mr. Henry } feels that one of the most important fields of activities of the | A. A. A. and the three hundred affiljated clubs and associa- | tions is to co-operate in every pos- sible way with the traffice authori- tles of the various cities in the solu- tion of problems relative to handling CARS FOR EVERY PERSON INU. 0. Enough Motor Vehicles In Country for All to Ride at Same Time. “There are motor vehicles enough in the United States to accomodate the entire population of the country at the same time,” says Mr. R. N. Van Sant of the Yellowstone Motor Sales, local dealer in Durant and Star cars. “The last authentic figures quoted by leading automobile journals, give the total of passenger cars in use in the United States as 9,700,000 cars. Adding to this the large number of motor trucks and busses which carry from ten to thirty passengers each, it would be an easy matter to carry the whole nation at one time. “This does not mean that there Is a car for every family. Some owners possess four or five motor cars of various sorts for various purposes. ‘Taxicab companies have fleets which include hundreds of cabs; bus lines operate large fleets of motor buses, be borne in mind that the cost today; while transportation companies and private owners have many freight trucks in service. Factories, city sov- ernments and institutions add to the grand total of cars in use. “For a time the high cost permitted but a few to afford automobiles. More recently, high class motor cars of standard des!gn have been priced within the reach of the average purse. This will result in many thousands adding their names to the list of owners, which, considering that the industry is hardly a quarter cen- tury old, is astoundingly long. “And so, though cars enough exist for all to ride, the United States still holds many thousands of families who have yet to make the decision to own motor cars, while the rest of the world is far behind America in the percentage of ownership.” SPECIAL JEWETT ROADSTER SOUT “Snap and Zip” of Fleet Paige Models Found In New Auto. ‘The Paige-Detroit Motor Car com- pany this week announces a Jewett Bpecial roadster on the new Jewett Bix chassis, according to word re celved by the Doud-Weaver Motor Co. The special roadster has a full three-passenser seat yet has all of the “snap and zip” seen in the fleet Paige models, says Mr. Weaver. Its finish is the same as the present Jewett Special touring car, Japanese double deep blue trimmed in nickel, he says. Its equipment makes of it one of the best models in the Jewett line, claims Mr. Weaver of the Doud-Wea- ver Motor Co., local dealer. In this equipment are the usual seats with Marshall typ springs, covered with hand crushed Spanish leather; one extra cord tire mounted on rear; com- bination tail and automatic spotlight; double spring bar bumpers, front and rear; motometer; drum sidelights on cowl; sun visor; automatic windshtold wiper and sun visor. “Besides offering one of the snap- plest bodies,” says Mr. Weaver, “the roadster has a commodious compart- ment in the rear capable of holding a sample trunk and two suit cases. Taken all in all this Ught, beautifully trimmed body brings out the best that there is in the new Jewett chassis." ——— NEWSBOYS. Dr. Cromer wants to see all the newsboys in the city Tuesday morn- ing at ten o'clock sharp. Call at room 206 O-8 building. He has some good news for every one of them. Don't fail to come, the constantly increasing traffic. The| question, he points out, not only in- volves expediting traffic but also the| saving of lives. Practically all of our cities and larg- er towns were planned before the days of the motor vehicle,” said Mr. Henry. “Many ities and towns were developed to their present pro- Portions without any plan. With narrow streets or without an ade- quate number of connected thorough- fares from the suburbs to the heart of the city, traffic authorities in the majority of our cities are staying awake nights wondering how they are going to hand’e the present day motor traffic. Temporary expedien- cies such as more traffic officers, one streets, etc., are adopted with the j realization that these measures are not going to meet the situation a year or two from now without the corres: ponding increase of traffic which has been noted during the past few years. “The question of solving local traf- fic problems can be answered by a scientific study of the needs of a city and how they may be met, continued Mr. Henry. ‘The difficulty rests in the fact that the solution which such a study will point out, involves an immediate outlay of money so great that the average city administration does not dare to put the matter up to the taxpayer. The city of St. Louis began a study of traffic in 1916 which resulted in a recommendation for the adoption of the major street plan in 1921. The estimated cost of widening and connecting up certain streets in accordance with the major street plan wag $8,650,000. Bonds were issued for this amount and the work is now under way. “While the cost of an adequate street plan may be staggering it must will be less than it will be a year or two from now as abutting property | THE OUTSIDE. | too often fails to stir the truck driver Learn Your Auto License Number, “Sparky” Advices By SPARK PLUG You wouldn't forget your home address, and neither would you fat! to remember your telephone num- | ber.

The passenger car quickens interest in new roads and better roads by transplanting them into terms of comfort and enjoyment, but it is the truck that provides the prosperity that makes it possible to pay for them.
