By SPARK PLUG. “Oh, It ain't goin’ to rain any more.” At least, not fdr a while. Several days of sunshine have more than made up for the heavy rains of Iast week, and have placed Wy. oming highws in Ine to be things of beauty and joys forever to the motorist. Maintenance work during the past week by the State High way deparfment, upon all state ar- teries of tyavel have rendered them all in good condition, and even the most timid of driy need have no ‘ar to venture if practically any direction from. Casper. Sunday should be a banner day for the one- day motdtst, weather of course be- ing the prime first consideration. The Yellowstone highway, both east and west is in excellent condi- tion throughout it length in Wyom- ing. Although the bridge over the Badwater river at Bonneville on the Wind river canyon road Is still con- spicuous by its absence, the low condition of the water in the river at the present time make it perfectly safe to effect a crossing, with the ass'stance of course of the team provided by the State Highway de- partment at this point. Those contemplating a trip to the oll fields on Sunday, must bear in mind of course that there is a lengthy~ detour on the Salt Creek road around the new paving op- erations, but that it is in good con- dition, and unless it receives an un- flue amount of travel should remain In A-l shape all summer. Casper mountain road is now le accessible to automobiles, and with a little dragging and mainten- anee work on the part of county road crews will prove one of Cas- per's most popular summer high- ways. A good road coupled with the fact that this season will be the first in which residents of this city have been entitled to use a part of the mountain land as a public park should make our nearby range a mecca for Sunday jaunts, and ning pienics The Rawlins road, is of course, not yet in midsummer condition but it is improving rapidly and the mo- (Con:.nued from\ Page Four.

The trend seemingly is toward a lighter type of car, according to automobile engineers. It 1s esti- mated that it costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $1 a pound to build and sell an automobile and that a reduction in cost of produc- tion and sules costs is largely a matter of weight Traffic’ congestion also is giving mpetus to the manufacture of light, flexible machines, readily responsive to traffic conditions.
