HIGHWAY SYSTEM IS CRITICISED BY • PSIRDUEEXPERT Says Indiana Failing to Keep Up With Traffic Transformation. Bn United Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 3.—Failure to keep pace with the “remarkable transformation of traffic” during the past twenty years has wrought a serious handicap to many Indiana counties, Prof. Ben H. Petty, of the Purdue school of engineering, believes. “Unfortunately,” he said, “many persons still look at our road service from a point of view similar to that of the ‘horse and buggy’ days. This has caused many of our counties to be handicapped by a system of narrow, poorly drained, rough and otherwise inadequate roads. Cites Auto Increase Prof. Petty pointed to the great increase in motor vehicles carrying commodities as the prime reason for a betterment of roads. “Since 1916,” he said, “our automobiles (trucks) have increased from 215,000 to 2,800,000. Passenger automobiles have increased from 3,513,000 to 22,330,000.” Prof. Petty expressed the opinion that all roads should be placed into a passable condition instead of mork concentrated on a few sysPms.

the Indiana road system should be paved as quickly as possible, but it is an expression of my conviction that the welfare of the State as a whole is more important that that' of passing motorists.” “What benefit does a farmer get from a hard surfaced road if he lives three or four miles from it on a ‘dirt’ road that is impassable for several hours or days after a heavy rain and is a quagmire after every thaw in the winter?” Scots to Snub King GLASGOW, May 3.—Labor members of the Glascow city council have decided that when King George and Queen Mary visit this city next July there will be no official honor accorded them. The Socialists hold the majority in the council and no one can avert the snub.

yDME CARS knock at the least provocation, Ly even on the level, while others knock only when they are laboring to get up a hill. Every knock, however, is motor-racking as well as nerve-racking! Every knock is a warning of wasted power—power that not only fails to drive your car, but actually retards its progress. DETONOX gasoline is non-detonating. It will not knocky even on the longest hills or in the hottest weather. Every ounce of the smooth, boundless power in DETONOX therefore, is free to do useful work in driving your car. Try a tankful of DETONOX. You will get a new thrill from its surge of silent power. You will enjoy the quiet ease with which it whisks you up hill after hill—with never a knock!

This unusual attitude of Richman workers toward their company and their work accounts for the quality in Richman’s Clothes — big volume sales, direct from our factories through our chain of twenty-six retail stores, cash buying and selling, and highly efficient production methods, account for the low price Richman’s Clothes have made famous.
