NEW SLANT TO GARAGES

A means of lessening their troubles in getting into and out of alley garages has been found by residents of Kansas City, according to a recent trade publication. All garages facing on the alleys are set in a diagonal position so that they can be headed into or backed out of without trouble.

Cut Down Highway Maintenance

Replace those old bridges, with all their danger, worry, and expense, with the new Giant Culverts.

Armco Multi-Plate

Made of Heavily Galvanized Armco Ingot Iron Plates (No. 7 to No. 3 Gauge) with corrugations 6" wide and 1½" deep, for convenient assembly in the field, they furnish waterways from 7½ to 122 feet in diameter. Singly or 2 in a battery, they will care for streams of from 75 to 150 square feet and more in cross sectional area. They are Strong and Safe and immensely durable. The maintenance cost which their use abolishes would justify, if capitalized, a far greater expenditure.

Mexicans Building International Road

That remarkable progress is being made on the International Pacific Highway in Mexico, strengthening the promise that the 1600-mile route between the United States and Mexico City will be open to travel by late fall of this year, is evident in a communication and photographs just received from Colonel Filiberto Gomez, Governor of the State of Mexico by the Automobile Club of Southern California.

Three large forces of federal soldiers are grading a road in both directions through the 32-mile section of the formidable "barrancas," a steep, mountainous region in the state of Jalisco. It is expected to have this road graded through by late Spring before the long, rainy summer season begins, so that it will be ready for pioneering motor travel in the fall.

"Man makin' a speech," was the reply.

"Who is he?"

"Ah, don't rightly know, suh, but he shuh does recommend himself very highly."
