Turn Left at Keyser Ridge.

Securing Information to the effect
that a state road was being construct
ed from Keyser Ridge to Oakland, we
decided to follow the advice given us
and found that 1t turned out to be
exactly what we were looking for.
Leaving the national road at Keyser
Ridge we turned sharply to the left and
followed along Negro mountain. after
having crossed Meadow mountain just
prior to arriving at Keyser Ridge. The
road was a splendid macadam road of
the highest type. well built, with con-
crete culverts and proper drainage
facilities. The road is far from compile
ton. but that potion of it which we
found completed was most desirable.
Four miles Of it from Keyser Ridge are
now completed and a large force Is en-
gagged daily in the construction work.
The route was then into Accident, a
small village, through which a new

provided for those who tour up to these
points in their motor cars.
At 9 o'clock the stare on the return
trip was made from Mountain Lake
Park. The weather was cool and delight
full. and the air bracing for the morn
ing ride. The same route was followed
with the exception that after leaving
McHenry We found the road blocked for
a short distance, necessitating detour
to Johnstown. All went well until after
we had proceeded about mile over the
worn-out section of the national road
between Grantsville and Frostburg. when
tinued to be our "hoodoo" until the end
of our journey. Making renairs, we had
only proceeded another mile when we
were forced to change tires for the
lat Frostburg We're about to resume our
journey in good spirits when fiat tire
greeted US for the seventh time in the
heart of the town.
More Tire Trouble.
However, at 4:05 o'clock we got an
other start from Frostburg. and by
good luck managed to get as far as
Frederick. Nd, before the eighth tire
went back on US. While crossing Cove
mountain into Hancock we came across
a party of motorists whose big touring
car had become disabled. Throwing
our towline to them, we hauled the
car and it's occupants over the steep
grade to the top, from which point
they coasted five miles to the bottom
of the mountain into Hancock, where
repairs were made. Our party stopped
for supper at Hancock on the return
trip, arriving there at o'clock in the
evening. Hagerstown was reached at
9 o'clock and Frederick at 1925 o'clock
Just on the outskirts of Frederick we
made our eighth tire change. At New
Market we changed our ninth tire, just
to keep in trim, and a short distance
from Ridgeville, changed the last tire
we had. Being down and out for inner
tubes after all of the repairs of the
two previous days, we resorted to the
trick Of filling the belated front tire
with our tow rope, and covered the
last forty-one miles in this manner,
The progress the remainder of the trip
was slow, requiring three hours to
negotiate the distance. Washington
was reached at o'clock Wednesday
morning, and while the members O.
the party were somewhat fatigued by
the long run, due to the unusual
amount of tire trouble, they. neverthe-
less, enjoyed the trip, while the going
was good. Take along plenty of inner
tubes. be provided with vulcanizer,
an extra casing or two and a folding
water bucket. See that your car Is in
good trim to make the trip and see
that the brakes Of your machine are in
hrst-class order and hold satisfactorily

national road" which always has been
and always will be great highway.
Start of Long Run.

The route from the National Capital
led out to Bethesda on the Rockville
road, So miles out, where we turned to
the right across the electric car tracks
at the blacksmith's shop and continued
over a smooth macadam roadway to
Rockville 155 miles. Passing through
the center of the town we turned to the
right at the top Of the slight grade in
the main street, crossed the electric car
tracks and continued in an easterly di-
way to Gaithersburg, EOS miles from
Washington. The first of our tire trou-
bles developed in Rockville. when one of
the front tires went out of commission.
On arriving at Gaithersburg we turned
sharply to the right and motored over a
less enjoyable road to Laytonsvii!e due
to the fact that some portions of the road
just beyond Washington Grove We're
badly worn and in need of resurfacing.

Baskets Should Be Cut.

In fitting new gaskets remember that
the water or gas, as the case may be,
will not pass through the material In
other words, the center Of the gasket
should be cut out, as well as the outside

From Judge.
Novice-What is the distinction between
the brake pedal and the acceleratol

Chauffeur-They do look a lot alike
and the difference is best learned by ex.
perience. For instance, suppose you are
driving along a country road. You turr

The Treasury Department has been
Ey the Fourth National
Bank of New York for its facility in dis.
tributing funds FOR crop-moving purposes
last summer and in calling back the
money after the need for Il had passed.
within the last two or three weeks,
says the April circular of the bank. re-
ceived here yesterday, "the Treasury has
been recalling the special deposits II
made with the banks during the period
of acute tension last summer. Many of
these special deposits have been repaid
remittances upon the banks here,
with the result that the New York bal
ances of a number of interior banks
have been materially reduced.
These repayments are perfectly proper
at this time, as the banks are prepared
to meet the demands. while by recalling
the funds, the Treasury places itself in
a position where II will be possible for II
to assist the banks later on through the
deposits OF government money should
there be any need for such help during
the crop-moving season
The whole operation has been well
handled by the Washington officials
