VISIONS WORLD IN TRAFFIC JAM; KNOWS WAY OUT Generel Motors' Bhp oil Head Pins Faith in Super Highways The entire world is in a jam-- a traffie jam--but it is slowly extricating itself through intelli- gent regulation and highway plan- ning. This observation was made recently, in an interview, by J. D. Mooney, who, as president of the Gemeral Motors Export Com- pany, is the active head of General Motors operations in 104 countries overseas, Eventually, Mr. Mooney belicves all super-highway systems will make week-end motor trips pleas- urable even in the congested cen- tres, but until these systems can actually be realized we must adopt such emergency measures as the Sprained His Back Fifteen Y ears \go Alberta Man Used Dodd's Kid- ney Pills With Good Results Mr. J, Reid Now Recommends Dodd's Kidney Pills BEvansbhurg, , Alta, Apr. 24. (Special)--That relief can be ob- tained from all kinds of kidney dis- orders by using Dodd's Kidney Pills is again evidenced by the testimonial received from Mr. James Reid, a well-known resideat of this place, "I sprained my back while lifting logs one winter some fifteen years ago, I tried Dodd's Kidney (Pills and they helped me right away. I used about six boxes at that time and my back gadually got strong again, I can recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to anyone for sore back." Dodd's Kidney Pills are known all over Canada as the old, reliable Canadian Kidney remedy, They are known for the good work they have done. You will find that Dodd's Kidney Pills will relieve kidney trouble, no matter where or in what form it is found. Ask your neighbors for proof.

The "mid-week plan" is expect ed to partially solve the increas. ingly-vexing problem growing out of week-emd traffic congestion along the main travelled highways. Mid-Week Plan It simply means that as many people who cam, will take their weekly half-holiday on Wednesday or Thursday instead of Saturday, thus making it possible for most of them, who emjoy motoring, to really enjoy it. In several Euvo- pean cities the Saturday half-holi- day has been discontinued. The "mid-week" plan will get its real test this summeér. y "The traffic jam," aceording to Mr. Mooney, "is nothing more than a bad case of 'highway indi- gestion' caused by improper assi- milation, overfeeding and mervous- ness, the latter figure of speech representing the impatient driver always in a hurry to go no place in particular." ¥ . The disease is maturally more acute in the congested centres of the world, It is not particularly American in its locale as it can be found in varying stages in vir- tually every country, It so happens that Mr. Mooney has a fine collection of traffic jam pictures, He sent seven crews of "movie" cameramen around the world to get them and they reveal traffic problems everywhere. The cure prescribed for this highway aterio sclerosis, 'which seems to have developed along with the growth of automotive transportation, is mainly to Le found in the super-highway system properly regulated. Super Systems By super-highway, Mr. Mooney conceived a system of one-way boulevards running to and from all important centres, separating heavy commercial traffic from light ear traffic and avoiding all grade cross- ings, This system will supersede the present highway system, still a makeshift, just as the latter u- perseded our old system of bad dirt roads, which weuld still ope bad had it not been for the auto- mobile. The super-system will be built for future generations, It is already in process of planning in cities and countries around the world. In fact, certain short stretches have already heen com pleted. Detroit's extension of Woodward Avenue to Pontiac, Mich., along the route of the Dixi2 Highway is a type of super-high- way. One of the most ambitious high- way plans of the day is one that would see the completion of modern thoroughfare from Cape Tawn, South Africa, to Cairo, Egypt. When this plan is realized and it will be; Mr, Mooney will have the distinction of having fur- S------------ _---- Red and Black Colour Combinations Reg.

A modern concrete highway from Cairo to Cape Town would connect with regular train service between Cairo and London, soon to be inaugurated over a 3,000- mile route and through eleven countries. With the exception of a ferry crossing between Turkey in Europe and Turkey in Asia and a 6 hour motor car journey from Calais to Cairo, this trip will be made in luxurious sleeping cara. The trip will require about six days, but this schedule is even- tually to be reduced to less than five days. Looking forward to the day when there will be a high-speed highway from Cairo to Cape Towa and using the soon-to-be started rail schedule between London ana Cairo as a basis of calculation, it is not dificult ta visualize a trip from London to Cape Town in ten or twelve days. When this is ac- complished, Cecil Rhodes' dream will have been accomplished. The super-highway system, co- ordinated with travel by air and water, will become a reality, but while we are waiting for it, Mr, Mooney believes that we can help relieve congestion a lot by merely adopting @ sensible code of "high- way manners and habits," which will in the interim aid "highway indigestion." The code should in- clude consideration by the motorist of the pedestrian and vice versa' careful handling of motor vehicles by their drivers and the elimina tion of unnecessary 'joy riding."
