The proponed automobile race he two en an American and a French ma chine has brought the attention of the public to the wretched condition ot American toads. TIlO Frenull aUtOlUO hllo IlltS shoWII Utl UVOIUgO Hpeijll of thirty miles mi hour for a Ion# din tanco, whilu the heat the American machine lias linen capable of in a little over ftixteeu miles. Tho difference h u*eubed solely to tho bad roads o vet which tho American machine wan com polled to travel. UeferriiiH to this, j ('hairman Otlo Dorncr, of the L. A. j \V. Highway I mprnvetnont Committee, ! speaks of one of the causes for the miserable highways. Ho fays: 1 'NTo.it to water, the gicato.it enemy of good rouds yes, ol all roads i* Ihoitui iow iiied wagon. Nallow tii en and \s liter, acting together have gi sen our eon a try roads a I hud dimension. They at o jiot only no many rntlea Ion and ?o many roils wide, hut they are deep-- so dto|>, alaSj at limes thai travel over, or lather, through them, is next to impossible. "A hoavily loaded wagon always haves 1 1 ^ on llio highway, and the depth of those tracks deponds upon llio in al ei ial of which I ho road is huill, the weight of the load mid llio width of the liros Tho rut formed by the passing wagon forma a trough ful tho rain, which, instead of running oil to 1 1 1 ?? nid'', as il should do, remai tin to sink into tho roadway and softon it Tho next wwgon, finding tho ground softer, digfl its wheels deeper into tho htu face, and so tho work of demorali* v it l jo 1 1 and destruction continues. "A wide lire, on tho other hand, instead of forming alut, will roll and harden Hie road surface. I'y the use ot wide tires, overy loaded wagon can l?o turned into all oll'ectivo road rollei and inado to improve tho roadway i n - stead of helping to destroy it. All (hut is necessary lo make the best toad in tho world is to niako it solid and to give it?a hard, smooth surface. Nothing so much needs to accomplish this as the ft eijue.nl use of road rollers, Wide tires are road rollers, andthoro foro rmul makers. Nat row tires are load destroyers. If wide tires could he adopted for general use, overy loaded wagon, which lo day helps to cut up and destroy country loads, would bceomean active factor in their improvement. "Kxpet ioiioo has repeatedly proven that hauling on wide liros reqttiies less 'motive force Ihati i n needed for llio narrow- tired wagon under the same conditions. Director Waters, of llio Missouri Agricultural F/xpcriment Station, who has made vory extonsivo tests on the subject, characterized especially by their scientific accuracy, declares I toil nix inches is tho !?e?l width of tire for a combination farm and load wagon and that a Inrxe mini- ] her of tests show, without s singlo exception, a dilVerence in draft in favor of tho broad tires ranging nil llio way I from seventcon lo Inn per cent. "Tho principle of wide tires is so generally acknowledged in Kuropo that laws have been passed in each countrv proscribing thoir use. Austria requires tires of al least If inches width, increasing as tho load to be cat tied exceeds Mi Ions. In France nil fi eight ing and market w agons are turned into road rollers by licing re united to have tires from three to ton inches wide, (icrmatiy requires four inch tires for all wagons used for heavy loads, a ml Switzerland requires thai they shall bo provided with tires of six inches. These regulations ha vn been adopted for tho protection of the high-class Kuropoan roads built dttri.ig tho present century. "Now that tho adoption of Slate ant has solved tho financial problem con nected with road improvement in the l otted States, care should be taken that tho roads we build are not de stroyed bv narrow tires. Country districts receiving financial aid for road purposes out of the Stato Treas ui v should do all in their power to encourage the use of wide tires. This has been accomplished in some places by exempting all wido-tire<l vehicles from taxation. Moni.v I lie Dlrl Komi*. The i >oylo.%town ' I'cnn.)
