In the past quarter of a century good roads have become so ubiquitous in the U.S. as to be a nuisance. Bad roads wear out an automobile sooner than good ones, and so enable the owner to get a, new car quicker than otherwise, and the fun of getting a new car, as everybody knows, is most of the joy of motoring. Then there is the question of exercise. Pedestrianism is good if only an opportunity is provided to pedestriate. In spite of the fact that country roads have long been both unsafe and uncomfortable for walkers, they are still tramped by a hardy few, a number ready to expand prodigiously at the first fair opportunity.
