World Congress Aims to
Solve Traffic Problem
Responsible government ofllciuls the
world over now recognize the utilitar
ian value of the motor vehicle as an
element In transportation, according
to Pyke Johnson, representative of the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, who has Just returned
from n study .of transport conditions
abroad. Johnson attended the fourth
session of the international road con
gress at Seville, where some GOC of
the leading highway officials of the
globe gathered to exchange Informa
tion and views.
“The'dominant note at Seville,’’ he
said, “was a general recognition that
motor transport Is on a permanent
basis abroad os well as In the United
Slates, and with this In mind, discus
sion centered on ways and means of
giving its use the broadest possible
economic application.
“Among the resolutions passed were
those calling for governmental aid for
motorbus lines In communities and
countries where Inadequate facilities
now exist; the Deet( for uniform traf
fic rules and regulations; for progres
sive studies Into city and rural plan
ning in order to allay congestion and
ft>r centralized authority in dealing
with highway problems.
"Other sections dealt with the physi
cal side of highway construction and
design, Including methods of relocat
ing and widening highways, types of
maintenance and other engineering
problems.”
In his survey of existing transport
conditions in Europe, Mr. Johnson
found that questions of finance, co
ordination ot motor with other forms
of transport, and that of handling traf
fic In congested areas are the sub
jects uppermost in the minds of gov
ernment officials.
Motor Driver’s Part in
Maintaining Good Roads
Drivers cun do almost as much for
maintenance of good ros.ds ns high
way engineers. Did you ever notice
In going up a hill, particularly one
paved with asphaltic concrete, that
the surface on the right-hand side of
the road Is wavy and rough, while that
on the left-hand side is smooth? The
Is this: The extra traction re
quired to climb the hill wears and
tears the surface, while there Is little
down hill.
ng, the right-hand track
a either direction Is the
or.*, which is worn most. Tills is be
cause the arched surface of the road
throws the greater weight and strain
on the right-hand side of the vehicle
and consequently the right-hand side
ct’ the roadway. Truck builders and
wagon makers have even adjusted
their axles and springs so as to with
stand the greater strain on the right-
side of the vehicle.
Drivers can prevent wear to the sur-
of the roads and even Improve
condition, if, Instead of driving
one track or on the edge of the
road, they will drive over the middle
and other less used parts of the road
when traffic permits. The one thing
Is fatal above all things to road
whether dirt or paved, Is
driving in tracks, which subjects one
small part of the road surface to all
traffic and damage that the whole
road accommodates.
Traffic should be evenly distributed
over the entire surface of the road,
and a little thoughtfulness and care in
this respect on the part of the drivers
will do much to add to the perma
nence and excellence of our roadways.

Many States Repairing
Concrete With Asphalt
Highway engineers In various parts
of the country are finding- It -advis
able in a greater degree to repair con
crete roads with asphaltic materials.
This Is true particularly In Maryland,
New York, California, New Jersey,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio,
Kansas, Iowa, Colorado, Texas and
Canada.
Concrete roads are prone to develop
longitudinal nnd ' transverse cracks.
Everywhere these cracks are being
filled with asphalt. Maryland has
been resurfacing some of its concrete
roads laid in 1613 and 1914 by means
of asphalt. Among these is a two-
mile stretch of the Baltlmore-Wash-
ington boulevard near the Baltimore
city limits that was built in 1613 of
cement concrete nnd resurfaced with
asphalt In 1619. The road from Balti
more to Camp Meade, built in 1614
of compressed concrete, was resur
faced with asphalt also in 1616. I11
Baltimore it has been found necessary
to give some concrete a flush coat of
bituminous material covered with
gravel.

It Is strange that one of the most
■Irish” of Irish operas should come
from n German musician, hut It Is
nevertheless n fact that the typical
Irish opera. "The Lily of Killarney,”
wus composed by a German, Julius
Benedict. But Benedict, says the
Morning Post, was a clever man, and
the Irish idiom in its broad aspect Is
easy to assume. While speaking with
an Irish accent he said many beautiful
things, and the airs "Eileen Mavour-
neen” and “I’m lone” would give dis
tinction to any opera that dealt In
melody, and sixty years have not
dimmed t)ie charm of Benedict’s melo
dies.
