 * Special to the New York Times
 * Chicago, Ill. May 11 -- A broad, well-paved highway across the continent is foreseen by Augustus Post of New York, President of the American Automobile Association. At a luncheon given in his honor today John Farson of the Chicago Automoile Club he said:"The automobile will do what the bicycle failed to accomplish. Within a few years there will be well-paved highways across the continent, and with branches to St. Louis and New Orleans. Men will have automoiles built for the accommodation of their families and friends, with buffets, dining and sleeping rooms, and observation decks.  But before this comes there must be good highways.
 * "The automobile agitation and the newspapers will give the West a similar system of highways."
