Tires and Roads.
(From Raleigh News and Observer.)
North .Carolina has something over
a hundred thousand automobiles.
That means we are operating nearly
half a million tires. These tires will
average with their tubes not less than
twenty dollars each. Which means
that we are running ten million dol
lars worth of tires on the roads.
Counting nothing but the tires we
are wearing out every day a material
portion of that ten million dollars.
Let us say that a tire Is good for a
year's run, which It Isn't. But if we
assume that it is good for a year's
run we are pounding out on the roads
ten Jiiillion dollars every year. On
bad roads tires will not last anything
like so long. On good concrete or
asphalt roads a tire will last much
longer.
In assunfiug that a tire wears out
in a year on the present roads, the
figure Is probably too low. It would
be too high on good roads. If the
average road of North Carolina was
as good as the fairly good road of
North Carolina, possibly we would
get twenty-live per cent more wear
out of tii-"-.. which would mean a sav
ing of a tv. o and a half million dol
lars. Now suppose thutrwe put two
and a half million dollars imo im
proving the roads. Instead of that de
struction of tires. That sum of money
would do a lot of road work. In ha'.f
a dozen years it would build leu or
lifteen thousand miles of a twd miicii
better than Ihe fairly good road of
the present, which would ftill further
save t ires.
The saving on tires is only one or
Ihe economies effected by a good
road. A rough road Is ruinous lo a
car. A Ford car suffers J,ess on rough
roads than a heavier car. A man who
knows, says the average repairs to a
Ford runs about sixty dollars a year.
To a bigger car It is more. A big per
centage of that could be saved by
good roads. We would also save gas
oline and oiL It is a safe guess that
fairly good roads would save us four
or five million dollars a years. Put
on roads we would have the roads.
Put on tires and repairs, the money
is gone. Is the thing worth thinking
about?
America Shilling Furopeans.
William J. Mulligan, chairman or
the Knights of Columbus committee
on war activities, has returned to New
York from abroad. Discussing the
situation Mr. Mulligan says:
"The people of Europe are-not as
badly off as many would have Ameri
cans believe. While there are dis
tressing conditions in places, one de
tects symptoms of spoiling through
America's lavish assistance.
'Europe needs red blood rather
relief, and it would not be unaccepta
ble, if gratitude was shown to Amer
ica for what she has done. Europe
w ill lake all we have to give, and cer-
talnly we should give something.
! "But we should afk for an ac-
i count in? of rxerythin? we give and
! insist that the statesmen or Europe
I g.t down to busine.-s If they want
;i; continue receiving help. There is
!too much talk mid not enough work
in Europe."
Sweden's first free port, which
forms a part of (he hubor of Stock
holm. Is open for busiu-ss, although
it will take perhaps ten years before
all contemplated Improvements are
completed.

As the widow bent Industriously

"Are ye sure ye lovs mo?" sighed
the widow, p.'.uslng in her wringing.
And the man vowed he did. For a

widow continued her labor. Then
suddenly she raised her head and
