There i hardly any doubt that one of
the largest wastes that ean be found in
eonnection with the automobile is that
of dhoudtn‘[ a tire that has the tread
worn off. ost automoblle owners are
fn the habit of selling these worn-out
tires for a couple of dollars as Junk
‘when they eould be reclaimed at 2 omall
m that they would give many
of service,
80, when W. F. Fraser, who has spent
rfly all his life in Atlanta, learned
At many tires that are now being
thrown away could be retreaded by the
*“Dri-Kure” process and made good
enough to guarantee for 3,500 miles
more service, he was quick to see the
possibilities of this process of retread
ing, forming the Fraser & Hume Com
finy, for the purpose of specializing on
treading tires by the “Dri-Kure”
process.
The new firm has estadlished its
beadquarters at No. 295 Peachtree
street, and its main business will be
retreading tires, though other kinds of
tire repairs will be done for those de
siring it.
The new process is said to have very
@istinct advantages over the usual ket
tle process of retreading tires. It is
stated that the moisture which pene
trates the interior of the tire during the
kettle process often causes great dam
age to the fabric, and that this is one
of the principal reasons why retreaded
tires have in the past frequently failed
t:)DrFlve satisfactory service. By the
. -Kure” process, it is sald that no
moisture reaches the tires, although the
curing is done with steam and absolute
uniformity of temperature is thus se
eured and the strength of the fabric is
preserved.
The new method, it is stated, has
been in use in Louisville for a consid
rable time, with remarkable success,
and the Atlanta establishment of Fraser
& Hume will be conducted as a branch
of the Louisville ®oncern. Mr. Hume
comes from the Louisville company.
Mr. Fraser has been for many years
with John W. Grant, the well-known
real estate man, having been office man
ager for the past two yeéars, and has
bundreds of friends in and out of At
lanta who will be glad to see him make
& success of his new enterprise.

HIGHWAYS FIiRST
IN WAR AND PEACE
Senator John H. Bankhead, chair
man of the committee on postoffices
and post roads, to which all highways
legislation in the upper branch of
Congress is referred, in commenting
upon bills now pending, recently made
this plea for “roads at home:”
“The war showed that the national
strength could accomplish in the swift
construction of rapid traasit high
ways and the use thercon of rapid
transit vehicles.
“The nation trained its engineer
corps and sent them to REurope
equipped for the quick construction
of roads. The part which the United
States took in the decisive campaign
was rendered possible by the use of
HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICA{\' - A Newsya_gg_r for Peqp_le Who Think — SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1919,
automobiles and motor trucks owver
rapid transit highways.
“Now that the war is over, the
question arises, Are not highways as
vitally important for the conduct of
peace as they were for the conduct of
war? With half the world going to
bed hungry every night and millions
doomed to starvation, is not the swift
construction of the highway to the
acre that produces as urgent a neces
sity as were the roads in the battle
zone? And if the need is as urgent,
should the nation slacken its effort or
permit its road-building equipment to
be sold or dissipated? Should it not
rather increase its efforts in this di
rection and procecd with the con
struction of highways at home on a
scale commensurate with the impor
tance and urgency of the need?
“It is for the Congress of the Unit
ed States to answer these questions.
Measures are pending designed to
meet the situation, three of which are
as follows:
“1. Joint resolution 200, authorizing
the transfer from the War Depart
ment to the Department of Agricul
ture of all available dispensable and
suitable war material for distribution
to the highway departments of the
several States for use on the high
ways., {
“2. Senate bill 5088, increasing the
present unexpended appropriation of
about $60,000,000 for road purposes
by the addition of $125,000,000 for ex
penditures to June, 1920, and sioo,-
000,000 a year thereafter for four
vears. It is also proposed to incresse
the appropriation for natiomal forest
roads of $1,000,000 a year on the pres
ent ten-year road-building program
by a sum sufficient to construct 17,000
miles of forest roads, which the Gov
ernment has already planned and
which are necessary in order to util
ize the vast resources of the national
forests. The estimated cost of these
roads is $50,000.000. Amendments to
the present road act, freeing it from
undesirable limitations, are also
planned, one of which will enable the
Government to construct at its own
cost links in important highway
vhich could not otherwise be con
structed.
“3. House bill 13308 carries an ap
propriation of £1.000,000 for an exten
sion of the motor truck parcel post
service. This is an increase from the[
$300,000 provided in the last postomce'
appropriation bill, which also author
ized the War Department to transfer
to the Postoffice Department motor
trucks for which it had no further
use. Under last year’s appropriation
27 motor truck routes were estab- |
lished, all but one of which were oper- i
ated east of the Mississippi Rlver.]
The resuits, even to the initial staxe.‘
are such as to warrant an increase in
the number of routes and their ex
tension to the trans-Mississippi re
gion, where rail and water facilities
of transportation are altogether inad
equate. The proposed transfer of|
10,000 motor trucks from the War De- |
partment to the Postoffice Depart-i
ment renders it possible to make a|
great extension of this service at a|
minimum cost. It .is proposed to in»l
crease the appropriation for this serv- |
ice to 810,000,600, To store these|
trucks would cost $600,000 a year, To|
dump them on the market would be
disastrous. To turn them loose to aid
agriculture in the movement of farm
products lo the consumer would be
statesmanship. To adopt such a pol
icy would be but to follow historic
precedent,
“Senate bill 5088 has the approval
of President Wilson and Secretaries
Houston and Baker. The proposition
not to lessen the national endeavor in
road construction, now that peace has
come, but merely to transfer the
scene of action from Rurope to the
homeland, is but the response to a

Equally popular will be the sight of!

Governor-elect Henry J. Allen, of
Kansas, while in Washington the
other day, was interviewed and his
good roads comment deserves na
tional ecirculation. Asked how the
vote of soldiers could be secured, he
promptly replied, “Build good roads.’
Mr. Allen said tnat while the men
would return from “over there” with
the usual diversity of opinion on po
litical subjects, they would return
with a single mind on the subject of
good rcnds, as the Governor-elect said
that the men of the American expedi
tionary force firmly believed that the
good roads of France won the war. 1
