Yhere s hardly any doubt that one of
the largest wastes that can be found in
eonnection with the automobile is that
of discarding a tire that has the tread
m off. Most automobile OWHErS are
the habit of selling these worn-out
for a couple of dollus as junk
they could be reclaimed at a small
m 80 that they would give many
8 of service,
80, when W. F. Fraser, who has spent
rly all his life in Atlanta, learne
t many tires that are now ' being
rown away could be reireaded 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
eny, for the purpose of specializing on
Yetreading tires by the “Dwi-Kure
process.
The mnew firm hae establiched its
bheadquarters at No. L 9 Peachtree
street. and its main business will be
retreading tires, though other kindsg 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 moisiure which pene
trates the interior of the tire during the
kettle process often causes great dam
#P to the fabric, and that this iz one
the principal reasons why retreaded
fires have in the past frequently failed
forfivr satisfactory service. By the
“Dri-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 s
oured 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 ®ncern. 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 years, and has
Bundreds of friends in and out of At
lanta who will be glad to sce him make
& success of his new enterprise.

IT'his handsome car is attracting a lot of attention in
the salesroom of Joseph G. Blount, Chalmers and Max
well distributor.
Senator John H. Bankhead, chair
man aof the committee an postoffices
aod post roads, to which all highways
ieislation im 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 thereon of rapid
transit vehicles,
“T'he nation trained its engineer
corps and sent them to Europe
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 AN
automobiles and motor trucks over
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 swifi
construction of the highway to the
acre that produces as urgent a neces
| sity as were tne roads in the battle
zone? And if the need is as urgent,
should the pation slacken its effort or
permit its read-building equipment to
be sold or dissipated? Should it not
rather increase its efforts in this di
rection and proceed 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 resotution 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
abcut $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 pro Posed to incressc |
the appropriation for national forest
roads of $1.000,000 a year on the pres- i
ent ten-year road-building program!
by a sum sufficient to comstruet 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 ¢f the national
forests. The estima.tec? cost of these
roads is $50,000,000. Amendments to
the present road act, freeing it fmml
undesirable limitations, are also|
planned, one of which will enable theli
Government to construct at its ownt
cost | links in important highways
v hich could not otherwise be con
structed.
“3. House bill 13398 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 postoffice
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 vstub-l
lished, all but one of which were oper
ated east of the Mississippi Ri\'el‘.‘
The results, even to the initial stage,
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 m.ul-f
equate, The proposed transfer of!
10,000 mator trucks from the War De
partment to the Postoffice Depart
ment renders it possible to make a
great extension of this service at a
minimum cost. It is proposed to in
crease the appropriation for this serv
ice to SIOOOO,OOO, 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 o the consumer would be
statesmanship. To adopt such a pol
icy would be but to follow historie
precedent,
- “Senate bill 5088 has the approval
of President Wilson and Secretaries
Houston and Baker. The proposition
not to legsen the national endeavor in
road const uction, now that peace has
come, but merely to transfer the
}scann of action from Europe to the
homeland, Is but the response to a

Equally popular will be the sight of

Governor-eclect Henry J. Allen, of
Kansas, while in Washington the
other day, was interviewcd 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 diverslty of opinion on po
litical subjects, they would return
with & single mind on the subject of
good rcads, as the Governor-elect said
that the men of the American expedi- |
tionary force firmly believed that l.he‘
good roads of France won the war., |
