American packing methods In export trade have been the subject of so much criticism that some are prone to overlook the fact that w do have good packing. All American packing must not be condemned because of the faults of the class of indifferent and Ignorant exporter The manufacturer packs his products to protect them, during time of transit, so that they will reaoh the buyer In perfect condition. The carrier adds to these reasons his desire to conserve cargo space and to secure ease in handling.

Good packing pot only protects the merchandise during shipment, but also is an advertisement of the 'consideration shown by the shipper in having the goods reach the buyer In the same condition as when they left th factory.

Tf unemployment assumes widespread proportions the most logical answer to the situation would bo the prompt utilizing St this excess labor In the building of highways possessing an Interstate enlflcance, comments David Jameson, president of the American Automobile association, which organization has bffen prominently Identified with roads betterment since its formation at Chicago In March,' 1902. It will bo remembered that whan congress was approached some two years ago for an additional 3200,00,000 udder the provisions of the federal aid road act," continues Mr. Jameson, it was set forth that this money, which called for an equal amount from the several states, would servo to carry on road building and absorb tho surplus labor which. It was anticipated, would result from the abrupt conclusion of th world war. Besides this total of $400,000,000 from the national treasury and the several state the sum of $9,000,000 was added to the $10,000,000 previously appropriated for the construction of roads In federal forest reserve two-seate- ' ' s Wk , . v V&v ' jT--wr - & As , lald-dow- st i war seat. it nrfsiii Lras Sill Nonemployment Period. -- But the period, of nonemployment did not arrive, besides which there was difficulty In obtaining materials and thotr shipment and the abnormal price cut down very substantially new road mileage. Present Indication, however, are that the supply of labor In the near future may considerably exceed the demand, and hence a recourse to important public Improvements would be a direct means of stabilizing labor condition There can be no greater benetlt conferred upon the entire country than by the building of highways which will materially reduce the cost of transportation and facilitate the exchange of farm and manufactured article between the country districts and the centers of population. The building of roads Is one thing which will unquestionably Improve conditions, and we ate all now well aware of the fat that public sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor of maximum activities In this regard, from nation, state and county. tt; late' I..: l) i s v - Value Increases Rapidly. t The perfecting of the automobile tire has not kept pace with that of the automobile engine, as most motorists know. Ten years ago 60 per cent of th car owners delays and stops were due to engine trouble. At the present time 90 per cent of the automobtltng hazards are due to tire trouble. - The universal use of the automobile, especially when the owner Is his own chauffeur, has brought out the latent Ingenuity which sooner or later crops out in the average American. Tinkering with your own boat has become a national pastime. Everybody who runs a car either uses or has In view a little device of his own. But of all the problems this side of eternity, the tire causes the moat How many have wrestled with the problem of making th tlr Immunt from nails, glass and th perils of the road? Artifice to make a tlr puncture-proo- f have clogged the patent office at Washington for years. Most of these patent some Ingenious, many mere nightmare inventions, while they render a tire more or less secure from punctures, they hamper the utility of the air chamber or inner tube to euch a degree as to destroy the tlrea resiliency. In fact, they make such hard riding that the user might Just as well equip his wheels with solid rubber tires and be done with it. The only widely marketed puncture-protlr and one which aeema to have stood the test through several years of service on car and trucks, haa thre thicknesses of small steel discs embedded In rubberised fabric near the greatest circumference of the carcaa These disks are laid o that they prevent penetration . at any point. tj. g 1 QhOTOS EY TRIBUNE STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER 1 1 1 HH n 1 tiuujjffljjjjjjjmujMUJ i muua tmujiiu 1 1 1 1 ' 26,700 9,150 10,970 15,120 3,500 10,300 - ,956 s became one of shipping the in th smallest possible space.' America's foremost experts were called to th service; and their studies resulted in achievements which were lust short of marvelous.

The packing of an automobile should become Just a much of a standard op- - ' oration as any part of tho manufacture or assembly of the oar. Each typo and alse car should box In a uniform with th several factor enumerated heretofore.' Safety during transit require thorough bracing within th box to prevent motion or friction.

The dismantling of a car require ex- pert work in order that the buyer may' reassemble It with th feast amount of time, labor and confusion. Small should be easily Identified. Nuts, parts bolts and the like can be put In small canvas bags and tagged to Insure against loss or Improper assembly.
