SCOUTS DISCUSS MEET.
Junior Council Talks Over Plans for

The Boy Scout field maneuvers. which
are to be held between the local and
Baltimore Boy Scouts during the latter

ut meeting of the Junior Council of
the Boy Scouts of Washington last
evening in the Raleigh Hotel. John
Hitehu. vice president of the council,
presided in the absence of the presi-
dent, James Rice.
These maneuvers will include tests of
an scout activities, and will decide the
supremacy among the members of the
two organizations. This will be the
first affair of its kind between the two
organizations, and plans are being
made to have the games annually. a
committee, composed of Deputy Com

While the authority thus conveyed is
plenary there is no present purpose on
the part OF officials responsible for the
management of the war to use the
power TO commander gasoline or in
terfere in any way with the motor car
trade unless conditions as yet unfore-
seen should require ii.
good deal of the present agitation
undoubtedly grows out of a statement
given out the other day by A. c. Bed
ford. president of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey and chairman of
the petroleum committee of the Council
of National Defense. His statement,
however, was put forward only as a
suggestion and warning to the people
and not as .forerunner of any immedi-
ate steps to commander or regulate
the gasoline supply.
In that statement he said that IL the
government is TO have the petroleum

war successfully two steps will have to
be taken: First, the public will have to

be encouraged, as a patriotic duty. to
secure the utmost possible output of

William Strong is a young Washing

Strong. More than two years ago he
enlisted with Canadian regiment, and
his service in the allied army OBJ

his weakened condition he had an at

SHOWS NEED OF ROADS
AS MILITARY MEASURE
State Highway Commissioner Cole
man Of Virginia Urges Prompt
Action by Commonwealth.

I'VE must as a nation wake up to
the fact roads are not only necessary
in times of peace, but are of the great
est Importance for the mobilization of
armies in times of war" asserts State
Highway Commissioner George p. Cole
man of Virginia. who is also president
of the American Association of State
Highway Officials. with which organi-
zation the American Automobile As
ISOLATION co-operated in the passage
of the federal aid road act.
"A marginal highway. as set forth
in the Chamberlain Dent bill, along
the Atlantic coast, the Gulf of Mexico,
the southwestern border and the Pa
cifc slope, and. later, along the north
ern boundary line. should receive the
Endorsement of all the people in this
country interested in its protection and
its future development All of us are
possibly alive to the fact that roads
are necessary for military purposes,
but very few people realize that in the
construction of the important high
ways of this country many years viii
be consumed. Therefore. it is impor-
tant that this great work should be
started at an early date and pushed
with as great rapidity as possible to
its final completion.
while main artery roads command
priority and require rugged ana costly
construction. the tributaries must not
be neglected, for in many instances
these feeders upon occasion serve q
vital purpose, even though not sub
tected to heavy traffic, except inter
mittently. II the national government
relieves a state of that road winch
has the greatest military worth it still
remains the bounden obligation of the
commonwealth to supply compre-
hensive state system of the most I'M
portant intercounty roads and then to
give some aid to the counties in the
building and maintenance of the lesser
roads 1t is almost impossible to say
positively what roads may meet the
military emergencies. and in conse-
ouence there must be n correlated plan.
the cost Of which must be shared by
the national government and state and
county.
"It has been suggested that war pris-
oners can be logically employed in mil
itary road construction. and one finds
himself very much inclined to agree
with the suggestion of the national
committee on prisons that we utlllZe
whatever foreign prisoners we now or
will possess. Most of these men VIII
undoubtedly be kept in southern states,
where the need of trunk road con-
struction awaits the earliest possible
attention"

UNIFORM FOR HOME GUARDS.
War Department Specifies Garb
Which May Be Used.

The War Department has issued
specifications for a uniform for home
guard organizations which would not
conflict with statutes prohibiting the
wearing of army uniforms or others
approximating army equipment by any
person not in the military service. 1t is
in the form OF an informal suggestion, as
the department has no authority to pre-
scribe the uniforms to be worn by
such organizations.
Forestry green or bluegray is sug-
gested for color and the coat pro-
posed is a gle-breasted jacket with
lapels. bellows pockets and white metal
buttons, bearing the state coat of arms
Trousers and cap would be of the same
material, the latter with the letter III
G." set in a wreath as an ornament,
with similar insignia on the coat col
lar
Officers would be distinguished by
shoulder loops with one. two or three
circles designating second and first lieu
tenant and captain, respectively, and
a similar series of diamonds for ma jors
lieutenant colonies and colonies.
Non-commissioned officers would veal
on their arms horizontal bars Enclosed
in circles, three for sergeants and two
for corporals. First sergeants' bars
would be inclosed in a shield.

THE EXPERTS SAY.

The novice jacks up his wheel to put
on chain-not so the experienced
motorist- There are two ways of ap-
plying the chain. One is to drape it
over the wheel. the other is to lay 1t on
the ground and run the car over 1t.
The latter method. apart from the
dlfhculty of steering in straight over
something you cannot see has the add :
ed disadvantage that the chain ON a
/ muddy road is in bad condition to
handle. So drape it over the wheel
and you Will have much cleaner Job.
When attempting to raise or lower
the upper half of a ventilating wind
shield be careful that the shield is
grasped at both ends. Do not try to
raise or lower it from one side oniy he
cause if the glass holder should be a
little weak it will result in a broken
pane.
1t is poor policy to refrain from max
ing an inspection of the spark plugs a
rev times year, regardless of the per-
torrance they are giving. Many own
ers do not look at the plugs SO long as
the engine keeps running but much
better operation may be had if the plug
ends are clean and properly adjusted.
Also, users of porcelain plugs NAV &C.
casionally find an insulator Clipped.
The chip may fall into the combustion
exhaust 1t may get lodged between
piston and cylinder scoring the metal.
You may not recover the piece already
broken off, but by replacing the plug
or lnsuiator you prevent more pieces
from breaking off.
In cars equipped with oil pressure
gauges and piston type oil pump the
owner often is at a loss to know why
the gauge does not register. knowing
that there is sufficient oil in the engine
This trouble may be caused by a leaky
pump. 1t may be put into action in
many cases by printing. In doing this
disconnect the oil line back of the
gauge and while the engine is running
slowly squirt oil into the feed line by
means of an oil can. Continue doing
this until oil is squirted back through
the feed line. after which the line
should be connected.
Many automobile owners are aware
that something is wrong when a rattle
or loud squeak is emitted by one of the
wheels. Quite often a loose spoke is
given as the cause. but in 80 per cent
| of the cases it is caused by a loose rim
| The rim when in this condition is per-
! mitted 10 move over the felloe and the
continual slapping not only is offend
/ ing, but more often gives indication OF
| lack of safety. If the rim is loose
| merely because the Tugs are not tight
| il is a simple matter to tighten them
| but if it is caused by the Tugs being
/ worn or the rim slightly oversize, i
| Will mean much work to keep the rim
| in place for any length of time. TIL,
| writer obtained fairly good results TO
| short periods by driving wooden wedge
1 between rim and wheel near the point

i the rim will come off even IL the car i
| driven for hundreds of miles. but tn
sound is very annoying and in the re

| rim permanently.
